osteoporosis Flashcards
Stimulates osteoclast formation,differentiation and activation
Binding of RANKL to RANK
Definition of OSteoporosis
Skeletal Disorder characterized by compromised predisposing a person to an increased risk of Fracture
causes of Vit D deficiency
1 reduced skin synthesis 2 DEc. bioavailability 3 inc, catabolism 4 Breast feeding 5 25-oh vit and 1,25-oh vit d (Liver and kidney problems respectively
Age and weight are determinants in classifying patients as having high risk, medium risk or low risk for fracture
Osteoporosis Screening Toll For Asians (OSTA)
modifiable Clinical Risk FActors for low LOw BMD
1 Low calcium intake and Vit D, smoking, sedentary, Low Body Weight
Risk factors for BMD
1 Non-modifiable and modifiable
2 Genetics (ehler danlos, marfan)
3 Hypogonadal States (Premature ovarian failire
4 Endocrine Disorders
5 Rheumatologic disorders (SLE,RA,SA)
6 Medications (heparin, cancer chemo, GRHA,Anticovulsants, tacrolimus,lithium,glucocoticoids)
What is WHO FRAX?
Fracture Risk Assessment Tool
Calculates the 10 year probability of fracture with BMD
Takes into account AGE, Weight,presence of fracture, glucocorticoid use
Diagnosis in Post Menopausal women (FRAX)
Tscore= 1.o greater (normal) OSteopenia = -1 to -2.5 Osteoporosis = -2.5 or less
GOLD standard for bone density analysis what does it detect
DXA MAchine, bone and soft tissue
osteoporotic based on the densitometric definition
Bone density more than 2.5 SD below the mean for young adult women (osteopenia is 1.0 and 2,5 SD BELOW the mean for young adult woemn.
Osteoporosis in Men using DXA
T-score <-2.0 with risk and known secondary factors
The WHO criteria cannot be applied to
1 PEripheral DXA other tahn the forearm
Quantitative CT
Quantitative US
when to initiate TX accdg to NOF
postmenopausal women and 50 year old male with low bone mass at the FEMORAL NECK, SPINE, 10 year hip fracture probability >/= 3 %
adequate intak of CAlcium
1000 mg for men 50 0 70
1200 mg per day for women 51 and older and men 71 and older
Vit D: 800 - 1000 IU/day
Causes of Vitamin D deficiency
REduced skin synthesis, Dec Bioavailability, incr catabolism, Breastfeeding, dec synthesis of 25-OH Vit D and 1,25-OH vit D
