Abstract：The skeletal features of children are longitudinal growth and faster conversion of bone.Bone metabolism markers can sensitively reflect early bone metabolism status,which is useful in assessing growth situation,understanding the pathophysiology of metabolic bone disease and monitoring treatment.The different stages of age,race,sex,puberty,hormone regulation,nutritional status,diurnal changes and metabolic bone diseases can all affect the determination of bone metabolism markers in children and the establishmcnt of the normal reference values.In this review,we will review the advances in bone formation and bone resorption markers and their applications in pediatric clinical practice.
