The bone resorption assessment is a simple urinary hormone test which produces an accurate evaluation of the rate of bone cell turnover in a particular patient.

The goal is to address any changes BEFORE significant loss occurs and also to oversee the efficiency of a treatment program. It examines pyridinium crosslinks and deoxypyridinoline within the bone structure. It is helpful in determining current rate of bone loss, the presence of lytic bone disease, and the efficiency of bone supporting therapies.
