Thanks for your speedy reply, @normahorn! I don't remember seeing that description on any of the labs. I'll have to message the doc again to see if perhaps he forgot to order the CTX. And, I had a metabolic panel in the recent past, but oddly enough, he didn't order a CBC (pretend there's a confused emoji here).

Cheers!

@beanieone the test mentioned by @normahorn is actually the P1NP, another important bone marker that measures growth.

Here is the CTX: "Serum cross-linked C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) is a marker of osteoclast activity and is used to assess the level of bone resorption."
