Abstract
Changes of bone remodeling markers reflect bone growth and bone turnover. Information on bone metabolism can be attained by blood and urine laboratory tests. Recently developed bone specific markers are categorized by bone remodeling process, i.e. bone formation and resorption. The formation markers include bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP), osteocalcin (OC), undercarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC), procollagene type I C- and N-terminal peptides (P1CP and P1NP). Bone resorption markers include deoxypyridinoline, collagen I C- and N-terminal telopeptides (CTX and NTX) , and tartrate resistent acid phosphatase (TRACP) isoform 5b. These laboratory tests offer lots of advantages for the diagnosis of bone metabolic disorders and for the evaluation of clinical states of primary osteoporosis and other metabolic skeletal diseases.
