Product detailed description

The β-CrossLaps (CTx) test measures the level of C-terminal telopeptide fragments of type I collagen in the blood, which is a marker of bone resorption. It is primarily used to assess bone metabolic activity, particularly in the diagnosis and monitoring of osteoporosis or other conditions associated with increased bone resorption. Elevated CTx levels may indicate increased bone degradation, while lower levels typically reflect reduced bone resorption activity, which may result from treatment or other factors.
