BONE MARKERS IN ARTHROPATHIES

Acta Clin Croat. 2019 Dec;58(4):716-725. doi: 10.20471/acc.2019.58.04.19.

Abstract

Bone endures a lifelong course of construction and destruction, with bone marker (BM) molecules released during this cycle. The field of measuring BM levels in synovial fluid and peripheral blood is a cardinal part of bone research within modern clinical medicine and has developed extensively in the last years. The purpose of our work was to convey an up-to-date overview on synovial fluid and serum BMs in the most common arthropathies.

Keywords: Bone and bones; Joint diseases; Synovial fluid.
