Abstract
Osteocalcin is a marker compound for bone formation while the β-crosslaps a fragment split from collagen type 1. The aims of this study were to determined of the value of N-MID osteocalcin (N-MID Oc) and β-CTx as a biochemical marker of Bone Turn Over as early detection of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. The value of N-MID Oc in serum was determined by reagent Elecsys N-MID Osteocalcin kit and the value of β-CTx in serum was determined by reagent Elecsys β-Crosslaps kit which works with the principle of Electrochemiluminescence Immunoassay (ECLIA). The data obtained were examined using T-test. The sample collected from normal, osteopenia, and osteoporotic in menopausal women. There were a significant difference N-MID Oc between normal, osteopenia, and osteoporotic in menopausal women (α=0,05). There were significant differences of β-CTx between normal and osteopenia, normal and osteoporosis but between osteopenia and osteoporotic menopausal women not showed any difference (α=0,05). N-MID Osteocalcin (N-MID Oc) and β-CTx can be used as parameter for early detection of osteoporosis.
