The painful crisis is the hallmark of sickle-cell disease (SCD). Bone resorption, as part of physiological bone turnover, results in release into the circulation with subsequent urinary excretion of the collagen cross-links pyridinoline (PYD) and deoxypyridinoline (DPD). Urinary PYD and DPD concentrations could reflect the extent of bone infarction during painful sickle-cell crisis. Urinary concentrations of PYD and DPD, adjusted for urine creatinine, were measured in sickle-cell patients (38 clinically asymptomatics and 27 during painful crisis) and healthy controls (n 5 25) using high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). PYD and DPD concentrations were higher in asymptomatic HbSS/HbSb0-thalassemia patients compared to controls (P <0.05) with further increments during painful crisis in both HbSS/HbSb0-thalassemia and HbSC/HbSb1-thalassemia patients (P < 0.05). In the asymptomatic HbSS/HbSb0-thalassemia patients, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between DPD and hemolytic rate.Based on urinary PYD and DPD concentrations, bone degradation is increased in asymptomatic sickle-cell patients, with further increments during painful crisis. Urinary PYD and DPD concentrations are potentially diagnostic and prognostic tools in SCD.
