What is the substance DpD?

 

Bone is actually a living material which just like the skin and muscles is constantly being broken down and renewed in a process called resorption.As a by-product of the process of resorption substances called bone markers are excreted in urine, and can be measured by this test.The more bone marker that is excreted in the urine, the higher the risk of bone loss and fracture. It is the measurement of bone marker that is used as an indicator of bone loss. As more bone is lost, the bone marker level in the urine increases.
