P1NP number on Tymlos

Posted by marymj7 @marymj7, Jan 1, 2024

After 3 months on Tymlos, my P1NP bone marker has increased by 50% to 109. I was initially excited, but am wondering if this is excessive. Anyone else had numbers like this?

Hello fellow Tymlos takers! I have been on Tymlos for 3 months, and I am also trying to figure out why my CTX went from 196 last year to 895.8 this month of April. My P1NP is 175. Of course I contacted my Endo and she was not alarmed even a little! Can you believe this? Would love to know your thoughts……

@yogagirl57, were you on an antiresorptive before Tymlos.

@yogagirl57 See the below video by Dr. Doug Lucas. I went through it slowly, with the transcript enabled, in order to try to understand my CTX and P1NP. From my interpretation, what you may have is an indication of good bone turnover in the BUILDING direction.

After you watch this and do your calculations, please let us know what you think. I would like to know whether the number 195 means anything to you personally then, as a check on what I understood from this presentation. I plan to write up my own experience with CTX & P1NP tests soon.

@kfhoz thank you. Look forward to watching.

CTX rises on Tymlos, your rate is surprising. Before worry, though, consider lab or transcription error. CTX has risen as high as 49% in studies where exercise is performed prior to the test. And CTX levels change throughout the day.
What was your increase in P1NP.
Lastly, fracture can increase CTX by 69%, but don't even think about that, unless you have new pain, until you repeat the CTX marker.

Your doctor has a full view of your medical situation and isn't concerned, which should be relaxing, but can put a person on greater alert. She is prescribing the best medication and so deserves trust.
I don't even have a basic medical background and am hoping you went to the gym before your draw.
