I just received my blood marker test results and don't know what to make of it. I had an appointment with my endocrinologist tomorrow, but I just learned that they switched my appointment to be with a brand new nurse practitioner. I'm afraid that she won't be helpful. I have been on 40 mcg of Tymlos for 6 months. Both blood draws were at the same time early morning at the same lab. I stopped calcium, Vitamin B and collagen 48 hours before.

P1NP 78 P1NP 190
CTX 519 CTX 1401
Do these results make any sense?

They seem to make sense if you are on a bone builder? It shows more bone turnover activity. Your P1NP is up which shows an increase in osteoblast activity and the CTX is also up, indicating the osteoclasts are removing bone to make way for the new bone. Are the numbers balanced like they should be? Hopefully a medical professional can help you with that.
