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

loriesco the summaries of demineralized bones sounds very interesting. Can you tell me more. Do these summaries include, well, which bones. Could they have done this for your neck before the bone-crumbling surgery. It seems like this is a new technique with MRI involving different sequences. I'd be curious about what type of reading you get. Numbers?
Information about bone matrix before surgery is so crucial.
I was responding to the information that on the anabolics P1NP numbers lessen. Which they do after you've been on it for while, plateau at 6 to 12 months and then lessen.
I love the way you "paint the street," with your responses.
How often do you get the summaries.

@gently I'll have to ask my doctor about this: "Information about bone matrix before surgery is so crucial" when he returns from Paternity leave. Also, my numbers with the P1NP and CTX did what they were supposed to do when they were tested. But I'm sorry I don't have the numbers handy. I suppose I should ask for a retest. As I believe I am coming up on a year next month or in June from the first test. With ALL the tests they DID do before my surgery - I know they were shocked when it happened. HOWEVERf - the upside was using my own bone in the blender to fill the cage with so I didn't have any infection risk from cadaver bones or synthetic. Everyone seemed happy with that. I know I am 6 pages in a USCD medical text book now on how to do a cervical spine surgery! (they said they did absolutely EVERYTHING all in one surgery! 😉
