Q

Osteoporosis

A

what is it? a cellular in which bone loss cause significant decreased density and possible fracture
what causes it? it is known to involve imbalance osteoblast, osteoclast activity
what are the different kinds? primary (type 1 and type 2)
Type 1 estrogen deficiency from the bone Type 2 result from kidneys losing the ability to process vitamin D and lastly Secondary
What does it look like? fragility fractures (hip), increased loss of bone mass, increased bone fragility and increased risk of fractures
what are the etiology and genetic risk?
nutrition deficiency of calcium and vitamin D/ protein deficiency/ Hormone deficiency testosterone or estrogen
how to diagnose it? Lab assessment data is a increased serum calcium, Vitamin D decreased and bone turnover marker not commonly tested
some imaging assessment data is an X-ray of spine and long bones, DXA only as a screening tool, QCT measures volume of bone density, Vertebral imaging, and MRI
