Are there any biomarkers for assessing bone damage due to toxins?
Biomarkers can be useful for assessing bone damage due to toxins. These include biochemical markers of bone turnover such as bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP) and C-telopeptide (CTX), which indicate bone formation and resorption rates, respectively. Monitoring levels of heavy metals in the blood or urine can also provide insights into toxic exposure levels. Advanced imaging techniques may be used to assess bone density and structural integrity.
