Bloodwork for Osteoporosis

Hello,

I am reading so much about bloodwork. I've had alot of the basics. CBC, metabolic panel, full thyroid panel, etc. I am not on any medication. Should I ask for the following:

• Bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (Bone ALP or BALP).

• Osteocalcin.

• Urinary N-telopeptide of type I collagen, or uNTX.

• P1NP

• P1NP and CTX

Or does anyone have a list of all the things that should be checked?

My doctor did not check My parathyroid hormone and I remained I'm probably up. Now about 6 years later my second doctor did run the parathyroid test and low and behold I had one gland removed. Have seen improvement of the parathyroid hormone.
