    What is a Beta-2-Crosslaps CTx-1 Test?

    Using state-of-the-art technology, the is test detects the ongoing process where old bone is broken down and new bone is formed. Type I collagen makes up most of the bone structure and when bone breaks down, it releases fragments such as C-terminal telopeptide (CTx) into the blood, which can be measured. Increased levels of beta-C-terminal telopeptide (beta-CTx) indicate increased bone resorption and are linked to conditions such as osteoporosis and hyperthyroidism. Testing beta-CTx is important because while levels can be high during normal growth or healing, they help identify problems when the balance of bone turnover is disrupted. In patients receiving treatments like bisphosphonates, a reduction of 25% or more in beta-CTx levels after 3 to 6 months suggests the treatment is working effectively. Bone turnover is highest in the early morning and decreases significantly by lunchtime. Additionally, meals can suppress markers of bone resorption. Therefore, blood samples should be collected in the morning while fasting, and subsequent samples should be taken at the same time. If you live in Gurgaon getting the beta-CTx in Gurgaon can be a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring bone health..
