Bone turnover markers (BTMs) have important role in the management of osteoporosis. Recently the clinical application of BTMs has achieved significant progress and measurement of BTMs give us better understanding of pathogenesis of osteoporosis. However, the use of BTMs is still insufficient in Korea. We summarized the available methods and standard interval of the BTMs in Korea. Also we reviewed published literatures on pre-analytical variability in the measurement of BTMs and provided recommendations for standardized sample handling and patient preparation for reducing those pre-analytical variabilities. The clinical application of BTMs in patients with chronic kidney disease who have a higher fracture risk than the general population is summarized.
骨转换标志物(BTMs)在骨质疏松症的管理中具有重要作用。近年来,BTMs的临床应用取得了显著进展,对BTMs的检测使我们对骨质疏松症的发病机制有了更好的理解。然而,在韩国,BTMs的使用仍然不足。我们总结了韩国现有的BTMs检测方法和标准间隔。此外,我们回顾了已发表的关于BTMs检测前分析变异性的文献,并为标准化样本处理和患者准备提供了建议,以减少这些分析前的变异性。本文还总结了BTMs在骨折风险高于普通人群的慢性肾脏病患者中的临床应用。
