GUADALIX, S. et al. PINP in patients with hepatic insufficiency: Comparison of two methods of measurement and association with different biochemical parameters. Rev Osteoporos Metab Miner [online]. 2013, vol.5, n.1, pp.24-29. ISSN 2173-2345. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1889-836X2013000100004.
Introduction: N-terminal propeptide of type 1 collagen (PINP) is a marker for bone formation. Blood PINP is found in trimeric and monomeric forms. There are two automated methods for its determination. R-PINP (Roche Diagnostics) determines both forms (Total PINP). IDS-PINP (IDS iSYS N-Mid® Vitro) determines the trimeric part (Intact PINP). Objective: To compare the two methods. Material and method: 81 patients (64 men and 17 women, average age of 53 ± 8 years) with terminal hepatic insufficiency were recruited. Creatinine, PTH, 25-OH-vitamin D, beta-crosslaps (β-CTX), desoxypyridinoline (Dpyr), hepatic function and PINP with both methods, were measured. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured (Hologic®, QDR 4500) in the lumbar spine and femoral neck. The comparison between the two methods was carried out using a Bland-Altman and Passing'Bablok analysis. Results: R-PINP showed higher values than IDS-PINP (85.03 ± 56.67 vs. 55.22 ± 32.81 ng/mL, p<0,001). The correlation between the two methods was r= 0.81 (p<0.01) and the Passing-Bablok regression analysis Y = 0.570 [0.475-0.669] X + 7.724 [2.130-12.542]. Conclusion: There is a good correlation between the two methods in patients with hepatic insufficiency, although not proportional or interchangeable.
