Deoxypyridinoline (DPD) – Serum – Private Testing in London
The Deoxypyridinoline (DPD) – Serum is available at South Kensington Medical and Dental, our CQC-registered clinic in South Kensington, London SW7. This test is priced at £123. A £50 phlebotomy fee applies per visit for blood collection. It requires a venous blood sample, and results are typically available within 4 days.
This test measures markers of bone metabolism. Bone is constantly being remodelled, with old bone broken down and new bone formed. Markers of bone turnover reflect the rate of this process.
Who Should Consider the Deoxypyridinoline (DPD) – Serum?
Individuals with osteoporosis or at risk of osteoporosis. Those monitoring response to osteoporosis treatment. Patients with Paget disease or suspected metabolic bone disease.
Bone markers help assess fracture risk and monitor treatment response. They change more quickly than bone density scans, providing earlier feedback on whether treatment is working.
A trained nurse collects the blood sample by standard venepuncture, a straightforward procedure that typically takes around five minutes. Our clinic is on Old Brompton Road, directly opposite South Kensington tube station (Piccadilly, Circle, and District lines). No GP referral is needed — book online or call 020 7183 2362.
