[The biochemical markers of bone metabolism in differential diagnosis of hematogenic osteomyelitis of foot bones and acute stage of diabetic osteoarthropathy].

The determination of the level of leukocytes and ESR in 25 patients was shown to be of low informative value in differential diagnostics of destructive injuries of feet in patients with diabetes mellitus. An analysis of the biochemical markers of the bone remodeling has demonstrated high informative value of this method in differential diagnostics of acute stage of diabetic osteoarthropathy and osteomyelitis that allows to use it in complex examinations of osteomyelitis suspects.
