Abstract
Bone markers are aimed to assess bone cells activity. Some are specific of bone formation (osteocalcin, bone alkaline phosphatase, extension peptides of type I procollagen); others are specific of bone resorption (deoxypyridinoline and peptidebound forms.). Their main applications are: evaluation of fracture risk and follow-up of antiosteoporotic treatments. Their use in clinical practice is difficult: choice of the most appropriate bone marker, relevance of changes, and may require the specialist's opinion.
