When the system the run is not balanced so will be a bone porous process known as osteoporosis. To know whether a person suffering from osteoporosis or not, can be done with the measurement of bone density or (Bone Mineral Density).
BMD examination useful to know the current bone density, but can not know of any interference regenerating bone that can trigger the occurrence of osteoporosis. The only way that can be used to know the activity of bone cells regenerating such as destruction and activities bone creating is the laboratory examination and the N-CTx Mid Osteocalsin. If there are inconsistencies in both value indicates regenerating bone interfere and the risk of osteoporosis.
