Urinary excretion of hydroxyproline, hydroxylysine and hydroxylysine glycosides by patients with Paget's disease of bone and carcinoma with metastases in bone. 1979

P C Kelleher

Patient's with carcinoma metastases in bone and Pagent's disease of bone have different patterns of collagen metabolite excretion. Both forms of bone disease resulted in an increased excretion of total hydroxyproline and the ratio of glucosylgalactosylhydroxylsine to galactosylhydroxylysine was below normal. The excretion of glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine and galactosylhydroxylysine was increased in all patients with carcinoma metastases in bone while the excretion of glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine in patients with Paget's disease. The ratio of total hydroxylysine (free hydroxylysine + glycosylated hydroxylysines) to total hydroxyproline was normal in patients with carcinoma metastases in bone and below normal in patients with Paget's disease bosne. The pattern of urinary collagen metabolite excretion is a more specific indicator of the presence of bone disease than is the measurement of the excretion rate of any individual collagen metabolite. Bone diseases of different etiologies may result in different patterns of urinary collagen metabolite excretion.

D010001 Osteitis Deformans A disease marked by repeated episodes of increased bone resorption followed by excessive attempts at repair, resulting in weakened, deformed bones of increased mass. The resultant architecture of the bone assumes a mosaic pattern in which the fibers take on a haphazard pattern instead of the normal parallel symmetry.

D003094 Collagen A polypeptide substance comprising about one third of the total protein in mammalian organisms. It is the main constituent of SKIN; CONNECTIVE TISSUE; and the organic substance of bones (BONE AND BONES) and teeth (TOOTH).

D006027 Glycosides Any compound that contains a constituent sugar, in which the hydroxyl group attached to the first carbon is substituted by an alcoholic, phenolic, or other group. They are named specifically for the sugar contained, such as glucoside (glucose), pentoside (pentose), fructoside (fructose), etc. Upon hydrolysis, a sugar and nonsugar component (aglycone) are formed.
