Generally seen in vegetarians. Plants contain higher levels of strontium than animal tissues. 99% of strontium are found in bones. It is excreted through kidney. Calcium and strontium are some what similar. Can be because of thyroid and parathyroid disorders.... osteoporosis.

Actually the levels are very high than normal population. Strontium is mostly derived from plants, so i guess you have high intake of kale,spinach etc. high strontium levels may be seen in osteomalacia or renal disorders..so you need to be assessed properly and i require more detailed history
