Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between bone mineral density (BMD) and the turnover rate [√(MoMf²+ MoMr²), multiple of median formation (MoMf) was calculated as bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) value/18.6 and multiple of median resorption (MoMr) as tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP-5b) value/463] and the balance (MoMf/MoMr) and to compare differences in therapeutic effects evoked by differences in previous treatments. METHODS: In 51 osteoporotic women treated with bisphosphonates (BPs) or selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), BMD was measured at 0, 24, and 48 weeks after denosumab administration. The values of BAP and TRACP-5b were measured at 0, 4, 12, 24, 36, and 48 weeks. RESULTS: The turnover rate decreased at week 4 and decreased further at week 12. The balance indicated a relative predominantly formative state at week 4. This balance became higher in the SERM group than in the BP group at week 4. A correlation was observed between the rate of BMD change and turnover rate at weeks 0 and 4. CONCLUSIONS: It is necessary to evaluate the turnover rate and balance to determine the therapeutic effect of denosumab, which induces dissociation between the trends in the bone turnover markers. Turnover rate and balance during the early stages of denosumab treatment may be predictive factors of BMD. When switching from bone resorption inhibitors to denosumab, it was necessary to consider the beginning values that were affected by the previous treatment. The state of relative anabolism is greater at 4 weeks when the previous treatment involved SERMs rather than BPs.
