Evidence-based guidelines for the use of biochemical markers of bone turnover in the selection and monitoring of bisphonate treatment in osteoporosis: a consensus document of the Belgian Bone Club
OBJECTIVES: To review the clinical value of bone turnover markers (BTM), to initiate and/or monitor anti-resorptive treatment for osteoporosis compared with bone mineral density (BMD) and to evaluate suitable BTM and changes in BTM levels for significance of treatment efficiency.
