Leelahakul P In the next century, the increasing number of elderly and nsing healthcare costs will
bring with it metabolic bone problems, particularly osteoporosis. Deoxypyridinoline: Dpd in urine
is a sensitive and specific marker for screening and monitoring of bone resorption in a variety
of diseases affecting bone turnover and in risk groups especially in the postmenopause. The
reference value among aging (21-60 years) of a healthy well defined group was studied by collecting
the urine between 700-1000 hours and using the ELISA technique to determine the level
of Dpd. The reference value of Dpd in 113 males and 298 females 1.3-6.5 and 1.5-6.9 nm Dpd/nm
Creatinine respectively. The level of Dpd in females was significantly higher than in males at
