This study investigated different bone biomarkers (cross-linked carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX-1), pyridinoline (PYD), osteocalcin (OC), interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg)) in terms of their metabolism in 4 different leukemia subtypes (ALL, AML, CLL and CML). The design was case control study with 30 controls and 60 cases of leukemia patients. Authors have reported many results regarding decrease as well as increase of specific bone biomarker under investigation with each leukemia subtype when compared to control. In addition, Authors reported correlations between each biomarker level and leukemia subtypes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
