Abstract

Osteocalcin protein was measured in leprous patients with osteodestructive complications and in the reference group of patients with other diseases. Osteocalcin concentrations were higher than normally in both groups, but to a different degree. The concentrations of this protein were significantly higher in leprous patients with osteodestructive changes. A 10-fold elevation of serum osteocalcin concentrations indicated destructive changes in bone tissue.
