Metabolic Bone Disease Flashcards
Bone Remodeling Rank-L Signaling
RANK-L: Bone Resorption
OPG: Bone Resorption
FRAGILITY FRACTURES
caused BY Compromised Bone Strength (osteoporosis)
1.5 million/yr in US
Fragility Fractures Risk Factors
Previous Fractures (Increases Fracture Risk 5 Fold)
Age

Low Bone Mass
Resorption > Formation
Bone Mass is Lost
Non-modifiable Risk Factors for Low Bone Mass
Age Race Gender Family History Early Menopause
modifiable Risk Factors for Low Bone Mass
Low Calcium Intake Low Vitamin D Intake Estrogen Deficiency Sedentary Lifestyle Cigarette Smoking Excess Alcohol (> 2/day) Excess Caffeine (> 2/day) Medications
Pre-Fracture Diagnosis of Osteoporosis
Normal T-score > -1.0
Osteopenia T-score = -1.0 to -2.5
Osteoporosis T-score < -2.5
Dx made @ lowest site
T or F: Low Bone Mass is Not Always Osteoporosis
True
Eval of low bone mass
Calcium, Alkaline Phosphatase Creatinine (eGFR) 25 OH Vitamin D Total Testosterone (Men) Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody 24 Hour Urine Calcium, Sodium, Creatinine
Who to Treat in 2014?
- Anyone with a Fragility Fracture Vertebral Fracture Hip Fracture
- T-Score < -2.5
Osteoporosis Prevention
- Ca++
- Vit D
- Exercise
- Fall prevention
Osteoporosis Tx
- Anti-ResorptiveAgents: Bisphosphonates, Denosumab , Raloxifene, Calcitonin Estrogens
- Anabolic Agents: Teriparatide Romosozumab
What is Osteomalacia and Rickets?
- Impaired Bone Mineralization Resulting in Soft, Weak Bones
- Inadequate Calcium x Phosphate Product for Bone Mineralization
- Osteomalacia -Adults
- Rickets -Children
Phosphate Disorders
-Acquired Hypophosphatemia (dec Oral Intake renal loss)
-Congenital Hypophosphatemic Rickets:
“Vitamin D Resistant Rickets”
Renal Phosphate Wasting
Impaired 1,25 (OH)2 Vitamin D Formation
Features of rickets
Pain Deformities Muscle Weakness Short Stature
