Traditional and Novel Bone Remodeling Markers in Premenopausal and Postmenopausal Women

Abstract

Our data suggest that measurement of β-CTX and P1NP shows adequate analytical performance and could potentially be included in algorithms for the screening of osteoporosis. Furthermore, these two markers, along with osteocalcin and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-5b, are useful to monitor the response to risedronate.
