Background: Bone is constantly remodelling and an imbalance between bone resorption and formation can predispose to osteoporosis. Bone turnover markers (BMTs) are biochemical markers that reflect the dynamics of bone formation and resorption. Carboxy-terminal collagen crosslinks (CTx) is a bone resorption marker measured in serum which is used to monitor treatment response.Aims: The aims of the study were to determine how CTx has been used to monitor pat...
