ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
This study examines bone turnover marker (BTM) variations between bone marrow and peripheral blood in osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic patients. BTMs offer insights into bone remodeling, crucial for understanding osteoporosis.METHODS:
A total of 133 patients were categorized into osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic cohorts. BTMs-C-telopeptide cross-linked type 1 collagen (ß-CTX), serum osteocalcin (OC), Procollagen type I N-propeptide (P1NP), 25(OH)D-were measured in bone marrow and peripheral blood. Lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) was assessed.RESULTS:
Osteoporotic patients exhibited elevated ß-CTX and OC levels in peripheral blood, indicating heightened bone resorption and turnover. ß-CTX levels in osteoporotic bone marrow were significantly higher. Negative correlations were found between peripheral blood ß-CTX and OC levels and lumbar spine BMD, suggesting their potential as osteoporosis severity indicators. No such correlations were observed with bone marrow markers. When analyzing postmenopausal women separately, we obtained consistent results.CONCLUSIONS:
Elevated ß-CTX and OC levels in osteoporotic peripheral blood highlight their diagnostic significance. Negative ß-CTX and OC-BMD correlations underscore their potential for assessing osteoporosis severity. Discrepancies between peripheral blood and bone marrow markers emphasize the need for further exploration. This research advances our understanding of BTM clinical applications in osteoporosis diagnosis and treatment.Key words
