If the bone fragility, even mild stress like bending over or coughing can cause a fracture. Generally fractures occur in the hip, wrist or spine.
Fractures as a result of osteoporosis can lead to pain, requiring high treatment costs and even death. Required laboratory tests that can assess the activity of bone formation and disassembly in order to determine the risk of osteoporosis.
1. N-MID Osteocalcin, to detect concentrations of osteocalcin in the blood. Osteocalcin is a non-collagen protein in the blood contained in the bone matrix and plays an important role in the process of bone formation.
2. CTx (C-telopeptide), to assess resorption / dismantling of bone and bone response rate to the drug antiresorpsi.
3. The total P1NP, to measure the activity of bone formation.
Make sure your spine activity balance by examining the N-MID Osteocalcin, CTx (C-telopeptide) and total P1NP. Commemorating Osteoporosis Day, take advantage of the cost reduction of 20% during the month of October 2014 for osteoporosis-related examination in Clinical Laboratory Prodia.
Examination of the N-MID Osteocalcin, CTx (C-telopeptide) and total P1NP in Clinical Laboratory Prodia has excellent accuracy because it combines the advantages of high sensitivity and excellence method Electrochemiluminescence Immonoassay autoanalyzer automation tool.
Osteoporosis is not just suffered by old age. Many factors affect the disease osteoporosis, so that you can only experience it.
Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by decreased bone quality and density, causing bones to become brittle and fracture risk.
