Serum homocysteine levels in children and adolescents with impaired bone health

Abstrakt

Our aim was to evaluate S-Hcy in children and adolescents with impaired bone health and look for correlations with clinical and laboratory data. Results of our study suggest increased bone turnover and negative influence of elevated S-Hcy on bone formation and BMD in children and adolescents with recurrent fractures.
