      Osteopenia is being increasingly recognized as an important cause of morbidity and mortality, and as the cause of a massive health care expense. This realization, and a much greater understanding of mineral and bone metabolism, has resulted in an increase in the sophistication of diagnostic methods. In this article, the authors review the current status of the laboratory evaluation of osteopenia, emphasizing the roles and utilities of specific diagnostic procedures.
