Abstract
A lactating 32-year-old woman in whom severe back pain developed 5 months after delivery is described. Cross-linked carboxyterminal telopeptide of type I collagen and pyridinoline, which are parameters of bone resorption, was markedly elevated with low bone mineral density. A high level of bone resorption was associated with post-pregnancy osteoporosis.
