The measurement of urinary deoxypyridinoline (DPD) constitutes a specific and sensitive marker of bone resorption. Total and free forms of DPD are determined by chromatographic method (HPLC) after or without hydrolysis of urine, respectively. Pyrilinks-D, a new immunoassay, allows to assess directly the free forms and needs an appropriate hydrolysis step for measuring the total form. We have compared the values of free (F), total (T) and conjugated (NF) forms of DPD determined by HPLC and Pyrilinks-D, in elderly women (n = 21, mean age: 83.5 +/- 1.5 years) with vitamin D insufficiency (25 OH D < 6 ng/mL) and Ca insufficiency responsible for a secondary hyperparathyroidism (iPTH = 45.3 +/- 22.7 pg/mL) and in healthy elderly women (n = 25, mean age: 76.6 +/- 3.1 years) with a normal vit D status (25 OH D > 10 ng/mL) as control group. We have also measured DPD during the course of vit D and Ca supplementation. At baseline, the HPLC and Pyrilinks-D values of DPD/Cr are highly correlated (DPD-T: r = 0.92, p < 0.001 and DPD-F: r = 0.76, p < 0.001), DPD-F and -NF values are correlated with those of DPD-T, while DPD-F and -NF are not correlated between themselves. In elderly with vit D insufficiency, the values obtained with Pyrilinks-D as compared to control subjects, show a significant increase of urinary excretion of DPD-F (8.5 +/- 3.1 vs 5.7 +/- 1.9 nmol/mmol, Cr, p < 0.0001), DPD-T (16.8 +/- 10.2 vs 9.9 +/- 3.5 nmol/mmol, Cr; p < 0.001) and DPD-NF (8.3 +/- 9.0 vs 4.5 +/- 3.3 nmol/mmol, Cr, p < 0.05). The administration of 800 IU of vit D and 1 g of elemental Ca during a course of 6 months normalize the iPTH values (24.4 +/- 11.8 and 30.9 +/- 14.6 pg/mL at 3 and 6 months). Simultaneously, the urinary excretion at 3 and 6 months of DPD-T (12.9 +/- 6.0 and 13.6 +/- 6.5 nmol/mmol, Cr) and of DPD-NF (4.5 +/- 3.3 and 5.5 +/- 4.8 nmol/mmol Cr) assessed by Pyrilinks-D as well as by HPLC decreased significantly, while no change was seen with DPD-F assessed by both methods. The decreases expressed as percent of baseline values were about 20% for DPD-T and more than 30% for DPD-NF, while DPD-F levels remain unchanged. We conclude that the Pyrilinks-D immunoassay presents reliable characteristics and allows to assess either free or total forms of DPD, like the HPLC technique. It constitutes an excellent reflection of bone resorption in elderly with vit D insufficiency. However its application to monitor therapy like vit D and Ca supplementation, needs a hydrolysis step to determine DPD-T which appears in this study more sensitive to the treatment than DPD-F.
