A simple, direct urinary assay of pyridinium crosslinks and deoxypyridinoline, useful in identifying current rate of bone loss, lytic bone disease, and efficacy of bone support therapies.

The Bone Resorption Assessment from Great Smokies Diagnostic Laboratory can improve the quality of life for women. This test Identifies elevated levels of bone loss before excessive damage has occurred. Enables regular testing of women for resorption rates, allowing treatment intervention at its most effective-before bone loss has occurred.

Monitors the effectiveness of calcium supplementation to slow bone loss and rebuild bone.

Using the two most specific markers of bone resorption, the Bone Resorption Assessment measures bone loss accurately and inexpensively. By discriminating between patients with high and low bone turnover—two subgroups which benefit from different therapeutic approaches—health care professionals can prescribe appropriate treatments and monitor patient compliance and treatment effectiveness.

The Bone Resorption Assessment is also invaluable in studying osteoporosis and the bone diseases associated with arthritis, metabolic bone disease, and cancer. The noninvasive urine analysis assays pyridinium crosslinks and deoxypyridinoline, two collagen crosslinks found to be more specific for bone resorption than other collagen metabolites, such as telopeptides.
