Q

Heme disorders assc with osteoporosis

A 
multiple myleoma 
monoclonal gammopathies
leukemia
lymphomas
hemophilia
thalassemia
Sickle cell dz
systemeic mastocytosis
17
Q

Why are rheum disorders assc with osteoporosis

A

treatment is glucocorticoid steroids

ankylosing spondylitis, SLE, RA

18
Q

Why are CNS disorders assc with osteoporosis

A 
decreased physical activity
Epilepsy
Multiple sclerosis
Parkinson disease
Spinal cord injury
Stroke
19
Q

Why is end stage renal dz assc with osteoporosis

A

phosphorus retention → secondary hyperparathyroidism → ↑bone resorption

20
Q

What meds are assc with development of osteoporosis

A

Lauren Poops (in a ) CACA BAG (sorry, lauren)

Lithium
Proton Pump Inhibitors 
Chemo
antacids
Cyclosporine
Anti-convulsants
Barbituates
Anti-coag
Glucocorticoids
21
Q

lab result that is increases suspicion of celiac’s

A

anti-transaminases Abs

22
Q

What does a nml serum Ca with a high urine Ca tell you?

A

low Ca intake , the body compensated → inc PTH → inc release of Ca and PO4 from bone → Sr Ca is normal but bones are getting thinner and thinner

23
Q

DEXA bone scan Z vs T score

A

DEXA Z score:
Bone density as compared to age, sex, ethnicity matched reference population

T score:
Bone density as compared to a young adult reference population.

24
Q

What are the indications for done density testing:

A
  1. W > 65 yrs and Men > 70 yrs
    • clinical risk factors, younger postmenopausal women and M 50-69 yrs
  3. any adult with fracture after 50
  4. adults with a condition or taking meds assc with low bone mass
25
Q

T or F: Any low trauma even painless vertebral fracture is consistent with a diagnosis of osteoporosis, but a bone density test needs to be performed to make a diagnosis

A

F: Any low trauma even painless vertebral fracture does not need a bone density scan for diagnosis

26
Q

Are most vertebral fractures due to low bone density (symptomatic or asymptotic) when they first occur

A

asymptomatic

27
Q

What are the biochem markers of bone formation?

reabs?>

A

formation:
bone specific alk phos
osteocalcin
aminoterminal pro-peptide of type 1 procollagen

reabs:
Sr C telopeptide
Urinary N-telopeptide

28
Q

calculation of the ten year probability of a hip fracture and then ten years probability of a major osteoporotic fracture

29
Q

Who is the FRAX intended for?

A

postmemnopausal women and men age 50 and older

30
Q

FRAX is calculated using (what bone)

A

femorl neck bone density
