Bone turnover markers (CTX and P1NP): do you have a baseline?

mayblin,
this was such a genius idea. You might have to introduce it again because I was disappointed to see so few numbers. Mine:
The legend declines a normal for either
CTX
294 pg/mL 3/24/23
438 pg/mL 7/19/23
457 pg/mL 8/22/23
P1NP
67 mcg/L 3/24/23
73mcg/L 7/19/23
75mcg/L 8/22/23
Was I low on osteoclasts initially? Or do you see this as a usual trend. Did I miss the initial P1NP high.

thanks for your set of btms results, @gently !

First question came to mind is: for your baseline testing, did you have the controllable variables under control? Most of us went for bone marker testing for the first time knowing nothing about optimal timing, fasting etc. Some of those factors could be well managed for a more accurate results.

I truly wished I had the baseline bone markers for future references. The one and only opportunity in the therapy journey - treatment naive state - is forever lost.

I am confused and new to this subject and maybe you can help me. My current ctx is 350…ten years ago was 880. Can someone tell me which shows less bone turnover? Thanks
