Popis: | With the aging of society, the number of osteoporosis-related fractures is increasing. Prevention of osteoporosis and maintenance of the quality of life of osteoporosis patients require early diagnosis, effective treatment, and highly precise treatment monitoring. Although bone biopsy is clinically one of the essential techniques for diagnosis of osteoporosis, it is invasive and difficult to perform in general clinical practice. Bone mineral density measurement is another essential technique available in clinical practice that provides good precision. However, it is not effective for determining the appropriate treatment options or evaluating short-term treatment efficacy. On the other hand, bone turnover markers (BTMs) have gained attention because they provide information that is valuable for both the selection of treatment and short-term monitoring. BTMs are now positioned to become a tool for clinically assessing bone turnover outcomes. Since the Japan Osteoporosis Society issued its Guidelines for the Use of Bone Turnover Markers in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Osteoporosis in 2012, new drugs, drug formulations, and combination drug therapies have been approved; therefore, we updated the 2012 guidelines in the Guide for the Use of Bone Turnover Markers in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Osteoporosis (2018 Edition). |
