What is the composition of bone?
80% compact/cortical
20 % anellous/spongy80% compact/cortical
20 % anellous/spongy80% compact/cortical
20 % anellous/spongy
What is cancellous/spongy bone important for?
Calcium metabolism, found especially in the vertebra and pelvis
What disease features are seen in osteoporosis?
Decreased bone mass
DEXA scan: Tscore >2.5 SD below normal (1-2.5 = osteopaenia)Decreased bone mass
DEXA scan: Tscore >2.5 SD below normal (1-2.5 = osteopaenia)Decreased bone mass
DEXA scan: Tscore >2.5 SD below normal (1-2.5 = osteopaenia)
What disease features are seen in Osteomalacia/rickets?
Decreased bone mineralization
What disease features are seen in Primary hyperparathyroidism?
Bone changes of osteitis fibrosa cystica
What disease features are seen in Pagets disease?
Both lytic and lerotic lesions

Define pagets disease:
Paget’s disease chronically disrupts the normal cycle of bone renewal and repair, causing bones to become weakened and enlarged/deformed
What is the aetiology of primary hyperparathyroidism?
Excess PTH production –> increased calcium reabsorption and increased phosphate excretion
What can cause primary hyperparathyroidism?
Parathyroid adenoma MEN Carcinoma HyperplasiaParathyroid adenoma MEN Carcinoma HyperplasiaParathyroid adenoma MEN Carcinoma Hyperplasia
Define Renal Osteodystrophy
a bone disease that occurs when your kidneys fail to maintain proper levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. It’s common in people with CKD and affects most dialysis patients.
What are the symptoms of Pagets disease?
Bone pain Microfractures Nerve compression Skull changes (increased head size) Deafness High output cardiac failureBone pain Microfractures Nerve compression Skull changes (increased head size) Deafness High output cardiac failureBone pain Microfractures Nerve compression Skull changes (increased head size) Deafness High output cardiac failure
What are the symptoms of hyperparathyroidism?
Hypercalcaemia: Moans, Stones, Bones, Groans
Depression/confusion Renal stones Bone pain and fractures Constipation Pancreatitis POlyuria PolydipsiaHypercalcaemia: Moans, Stones, Bones, Groans

What are the symptoms of osteoporosis?
Low impact fractures (hip - NOF, vertebrae, wrists - colles’)
Back painLow impact fractures (hip - NOF, vertebrae, wrists - colles’)
Back pain
What is the difference between rickets and osteomalacia?
Osteomalacia (adults) and rickets (children) are caused by inadequate mineralisation of bone matrix. Vitamin D deficiency causes low calcium and phosphate, which lead to secondary hyperparathyroidism. Osteomalacia results from a loss of skeletal mass caused by inadequate mineralisation of the normal osteoid tissue after the closure of the growth plates. Rickets results from the same underlying process, occurring in children and adolescents before the growth plates have closed.
What are the symptoms of osetomalacia?
Bone pain/tenderness
Proximal muscle weaknessBone pain/tenderness
Proximal muscle weakness
What are the symptoms of rickets?
Bowing tibia Bone pain Frontal bossing Rachitic rosary (expansion of the anterior rib ends at the costochondral junctions and is most frequently seen in rickets as nodularity at the costochondral junctions) Pigeon chest Delayed walkingBowing tibia Bone pain Frontal bossing Rachitic rosary (expansion of the anterior rib ends at the costochondral junctions and is most frequently seen in rickets as nodularity at the costochondral junctions) Pigeon chest Delayed walking
What are the risks factors for Osteoporosis?
Increased age Female Smoking Poor diet Low BMIIncreased age Female Smoking Poor diet Low BMI
What are the risks factors for Osteomalacia/rickets?
Poor diet Malabsorption CLD (chronic liver disease) CKD lack of sunlightPoor diet Malabsorption CLD (chronic liver disease) CKD lack of sunlight
What are the risks factors for Hyperparathyroidism??
