metabolic syndromes Flashcards
what happens to bone in pagets disease
bone broken down and replaced faster than normal, where the new bone is weaker and less organized than normal bone
clinical features of pagets
multiple areas of the skeleton
enlargement of skull, jaws, facial bones, deformity of spine and long bones
increased pathologic fracture
you see pagets in pts over what age
40
what are you concerned about in pagets denture pts
enlargement of jaws and widening of the alv ridges so dentures wont fit, and there are spaces bt teeth
when do you see a cotton wool appearance on a radiograph
pagets
when do you see a decreased density of bone and hypercementosis on multiple teeth
pagets disease
when do you see osteoporosis circumscripta in a radiograph
pagets
howw do you verify pagets with lab values
increased serum alkaline phosphatase
normal calcium and phosphorus
increased urine
hydroxyproline levels
what can pagets cause
bone pain, deformity, and neurologic probs
tx for pagets
calcitonin and bisphosphonates (with increased incidence of osteosarcoma)
primary hyperparathyroidism
pth gland, hyperplasia, adenoma, carcimoma
= too much pth
secondary hyperparathyroidism
kidney disease, hypercalcemia
2 causes of hyperparathyroidism
primary (pth gland) and secondary (kidney disease)
hypercalcemia leads to
bone and joint pain renal calculi peptic ulcers cognitive impairment painful bones, renal stones, abdominal groans, psychotic moans
when do you see a ground glass appearance
fibrous dysplasia and hyperparathyroidism
unlike fibrous dysplasia, hyperparathyroidism affects
all of the bones with no expansion
radiographic features of hyperparathyroidism
ground glass
loss of trabeculation, lamina dura, cortical plates
brown tumors
lab features of hyperparathyroidism
primary: increased calcium and pth
secondary: decreased or normal serum ca, increased pth (the gland is working fine, but the body cant absorb it)
microscopic evidence of hyperpth
giant cell lesions identical to CGCG and cherubism
tx of prim pth-ism
excision of pth gland
tx of secondary pth-ism
renal dialysis or transplant
cause of osteogenesis imperfecta
genetics leading to defective cross linking of collagen and osteoblasts produce a defective osteoid
t/f congenital onset of osteogenesis imperfecta is more sever than later onset
true
state of bones in osteogenesis imperfecta
fragile as hell
