Bone turnover markers for diagnostics and therapy monitoring

by Dr Jacqueline Gosink Bone turnover markers (BTMs) provide a non-invasive method to assess bone remodelling – the process by which old bone tissue is removed and replaced. Measurement of BTMs supports diagnosis of metabolic bone diseases, such as Paget’s disease, and is a useful aid for monitoring therapy responses in osteoporosis. Panels of peptide […]
