Although the measurement of total alkaline phosphatase activity in serum is a valid index to 8ssess the activity of Paget's disease of bone and to monitor treatment efficacy, this marker may lack sensitivity in some cases. Among the various markers of bone formation and resorption that have been dev
## Abstract This study was designed to explore the value of markers of bone turnover, macrophage inflammatory proteinβ1Ξ± (MIPβ1Ξ±), and osteopontin (OPN) in the diagnosis of myeloma bone disease. Twentyβfive patients with newly diagnosed and untreated multiple myeloma (MM), and 22 ageβ, sexβ, and bo
