ABSTRACT:

Objective: To determine the bone alkaline phosphatase and urinary calcium / creatinine ratio in advance age group. Patients And Methods: The tertiary care teaching hospital cross sectional study of one year (2016-17) comprised men in the age group of 45-60years without symptoms of osteoporosis and metabolic bone disorders and women in the age group of 45-60 years without symptoms of osteoporosis and metabolic bone disorders. Random urine samples were collected in clean and dry urine containers for estimation of calcium creatinine ratio. Regarding the specific investigations all the patients will have Serem BALP, urinary calcium, vitamin D, serum creatinine, urinary creatinine and urinary calcium/ creatinine ratio (calculated) whereas the frequency / percentages (%) and means ±SD computed for study variables. Results: During one year study period total fifty patients were explored and study. The mean ± SD for age (yrs) of population was 62.41±5.72. BALP v/s Urinary Ca / Creatinine ratio (male) was 0.727 (r-value) and 0.001 (p-value) while the BALP v/s urinary Ca/ Creatinine ratio (female) was 0.587 (r-value) and 0.003 (p-value) Conclusion: This study confirms the results of previous studies showing strong positive correlation of serum BALP and urinary calcium / creatinine ratio. Keywords: Bone, alkaline phosphatase, calcium and urine
