Abstract
During the last 15 years, the diagnostic approach to metabolic disorders of the skeleton has been considerably enhanced by new developments in bone densitometry and biochemical measurements of ionized calcium, parathyroid hormone, vitamin D metabolites, bone alkaline phosphatase, and urinary excretion of bone collagen fragments. Experience with these new tools now facilitates the detection and diagnosis of subtle abnormalities of bone metabolism that were previously unrecognized on routine radiographic images or with multi-channel chemistry panels.
