Bone Breakdown Marker Test

Arkansas rates for HCPCS 82523

Measures fragments of collagen that are released into blood or urine when old bone is broken down during the body's constant bone renewal. A raised level means bone is being removed faster than usual, a sign of rapid bone loss. It is used to gauge the risk of thinning bones and to check whether treatment for osteoporosis is having an effect.
