Abstract

There are few data on urinary markers of collagen breakdown in children. We have determined a normal range for urinary pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline in children, assessed the variability in excretion in individual children and examined the effect of GH treatment on the excretion of these collagen cross-links.
