Osteoporosis in endocrine disorders - what does this mean

Osteoporosis in endocrine disorders is caused by an imbalance of hormones, such as those produced by the thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands. this can lead to a decrease in bone density, resulting in increased risk of fractures and joint pain.

What happens during the disease - osteoporosis in endocrine disorders

Osteoporosis in endocrine disorders is caused by a disruption in the body's normal balance of hormones, which leads to an imbalance in calcium and phosphorus metabolism. this results in decreased bone formation, increased bone resorption, and decreased bone mineral density, leading to reduced bone strength and increased risk of fractures.

Clinical Pattern

More details coming soon

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Complete medical history and physical examination
  • Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan
  • Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) of the heel
  • Laboratory tests to evaluate calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D levels
  • Bone turnover markers to assess bone metabolism
  • X-ray of the spine, hip, or wrist
  • CT or MRI scan of the spine or hip
Additions:
  • Hormone tests to evaluate thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal hormones
  • Bone biopsy to assess bone turnover

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: Strengthen bones and reduce the risk of fractures
  • Prescribe medications such as bisphosphonates, denosumab, or parathyroid hormone.
  • Encourage regular physical activity, such as walking, jogging, or weight-bearing exercises.
  • Provide dietary advice, including increasing calcium and vitamin D intake.
  • Encourage smoking cessation.
  • Recommend lifestyle changes, such as reducing alcohol consumption and avoiding certain medications.
  • Monitor bone mineral density with regular tests.
  • Refer patients to physical or occupational therapy if needed.
