Metabolic Bone Disease Flashcards
Bone matrix
Made of collagen support surrounded by hydroxyapatite for stregnth
Osteoproroiss
Osteomalacia/rickett’s
Paget’s overview
Formation and resorption
Decreased formation, increased resorption…increase due to age/hormonla
Decreased ofrmation, no resorption change…decreased mineralization of collagen matrix
Increased formation but nbigger increased resorption…local overactivation of osteoclasts
Bone strenght is
Quantity of bone plus quality of architecture
T score and Z score
T score compares to white female
Z score compares to cohort
Osteoporosis pathophys
Loss of bone strenght due to altered uqualith and quantity
Loss of collagen support and hydroxyapatite
Imbalance betwen turnover and formation
Osteoporosis types
Postmenopausla or primrary - aging/hormonal
Secondary -younger
Notable osteopororiss risk factors
Female Low BW Excess alcohol low Vit D or calcium Cig
Osteoporosis signs and symptoms
Asymptomatic until fragility fracture occurs
Normall thoracic/lumbar spine of hip
Diagnosis of osteoporosis
Post menopausal women or men over 50
T score
Osteopenia diagnosis
Postmeno women or men over 50
T scroe between -1 and -2.5
Osteomalacia and rickets
Impact mineralization of the collagen matrix of bone
Osteomalacia only in adults and involves cortical only
Rickets in children and involves cortical bone, growth plates ,and cartilage
Osteomalacia vs. porosis
Malacia - normal matrix with decreased mineralization
Porosis - decreased matrix and mineraliaation
Osteomalacia and ricket presentation
Bone and muscle weakness, tenderness, fracture,s wddling
Osteomalacia diagnostic eval
DEXA may be normal or show decreased B
Osteomalacia and ricket pathophys
Abnormalities in Vit D and calcium
Abnormalitlies in phopshorus
Abnormalities in enzymes needed to mineralize bone (alkaline phosphatase)
