We assessed the analytical and biological variation of pyridinium crosslinks in early morning, 2 h fasting, and 24 h urine specimens from 14 healthy adults over a 1 month period. The results were expressed both in terms of pyridinoline concentration and pyridinoline/creatinine ratio. The data obtained were used to select the optimum specimen for clinical purposes. We found that: ( a) early morning specimens are preferred; ( b) results should be expressed as pyridinoline/creatinine ratio; ( c) reference intervals should be stratified according to gender; ( d) the necessary analytical imprecision (CV≤ 9%), derived from biological variation, is not easily achieved by current methods; ( e) the difference between serial results from an individual must be > 50% to be statistically significant; and ( f) assessment of risk for osteoporotic fracture by means of the pyridinium crosslink assay would, in a significant number of patients, require analysis of multiple urine specimens.

Abstract The collagen crosslinks, pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline, have been developed as urinary markers of bone resorption but, despite wide clinical application of the technique, comparatively little attention has been paid to the standardization of these compounds. In this study, pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline have been purified from bone and converted completely to monochloride trihydrochloride salts. In addition to mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy, the purity of the isolated materials was assessed by microelemental analysis including the chloride counterions. These purified compounds were used to establish individual molar absorptivity values as primary standardization criteria for the two crosslinks. For pyridinoline in 0.1 mol/L HCl, epsilon at 295 nm was 5490 L mol(-1) cm(-1); in 50 mmol/L sodium phosphate, pH 7.5, epsilon at 325 nm was 5785. The corresponding values for deoxypyridinoline at acid and neutral pH were 5160 and 5290 L mol(-1) cm(-1). The availability of standardization criteria for the crosslinks will allow more meaningful comparisons of clinical data between different laboratories.
