Wimpole Street, Marylebone
People looking into liver fibrosis and skin elasticity in Marylebone are usually looking for the Procollagen 3 Peptide. It belongs to our bone, calcium and parathyroid group and needs a venous blood sample (serum), which a nurse or phlebotomist collects at 22 Wimpole Street, Marylebone once the clinic opens on 1 October 2026. The laboratory typically returns a result in 5 days, and the standard price is £192 with no members’ tier.

Who considers Procollagen 3 Peptide
- People often consider these tests if they have broken a bone from a minor fall or have lost height.
- A family history of osteoporosis, early menopause or long-term steroid use are frequent reasons to check.
- Kidney stones, unexplained tiredness, thirst or constipation may prompt calcium and parathyroid hormone to be measured.
- Those on osteoporosis treatment sometimes track turnover markers to see whether the medicine is working.
- Muscle cramps and tingling around the mouth occasionally lead to a low-calcium investigation.
What Procollagen 3 Peptide measures
Procollagen 3 Peptide is most often requested in connection with liver fibrosis, skin elasticity and collagen production, which is why it sits within the bone, calcium and parathyroid group at Wimpole Street.
Bone and calcium tests measure calcium (total, adjusted for albumin, or ionised), phosphate, magnesium, alkaline phosphatase and parathyroid hormone, which regulates calcium moment to moment. Bone turnover markers such as CTX (crosslaps), P1NP, osteocalcin and urinary DPD reflect how quickly bone is being broken down and rebuilt. Bone and osteoporosis screens combine these with vitamin D and, where relevant, sex hormones and thyroid function.
Preparing for your Procollagen 3 Peptide
- 1Bone turnover markers such as CTX vary through the day and after eating; a fasting morning sample gives comparable results.
- 2Stop calcium supplements for 24 hours before a calcium or parathyroid hormone test unless advised otherwise.
- 3Tell the nurse if you have had a fracture, surgery or a period of immobility recently, which raise turnover markers.
Sample for this test: venous blood sample (serum).
Understanding your Procollagen 3 Peptide results
A raised calcium with a parathyroid hormone that is high or not suppressed can indicate primary hyperparathyroidism, whereas high calcium with low PTH points to other causes that need investigation. Low calcium is read together with vitamin D, magnesium and PTH to find the mechanism. Bone turnover markers show the rate of remodelling, not bone density itself; a DEXA scan remains the way to measure that.
Blood tests describe the chemistry of bone metabolism and do not measure bone density; interpretation depends on imaging, history and fracture risk tools.
Related areas of testing at Wimpole Street: vitamin D, kidney function and electrolytes, menopause and perimenopause, thyroid function.
