| Research Abstract |
Degradation of “bone quality”, a marker of bone strength different from bone density, has become available for evaluation in everyday clinical practice. The possibility was validated by the results of a non-invasive analysis of bone quality in which blood, urine, skin and bone samples from the same individual were collected and compared with those from other individuals for accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs, cross-linking pentosidine). Higher AGEs levels were well correlated with two non-invasive parameters: estimated glomerular filtration rate and urine pentosidine concentration that may be therefore considered as indirect but useful markers of bone quality breakdown.
