Per Keith McCormick's "Great Bones" book, the CTX preferred over the NTX for bone-resorption marker. Also, consider lab test for P1NP before starting Tymlos. P1NP is the most import bone-formation marker and useful info before starting anabolic therapy, i.e., Forteo, Tymlos, Evenity (per "Great Bones", p. 156). Fast before the labs and do them as early in the day as you can.
There are 3 very important bone markers test . One is CTX which measures if you are losing bone. The other is NTX which measures resorption and then P1NP measures formation marker of the bone . I would get all 3.
What is the NTx test?
I know it’s a bone marker test. What does a test? What does it tell you?
