Question
Answer
Osteo risk factors   Hx of fx as adult; Hx of fx in 1st degree relative; current SMK/EtOH; wt <127 lb. Low Ca/vit D  
🗑
BMD values   T score: BMD >-1SD below YN = normal. Severe osteoporosis = <-2.5  
🗑
best predictor of fx risk   bone density (75-85% of variance in bone strength)  
🗑
DEXA used for:   PA spine, lateral spine, hip, forearm, total body  
🗑
Quantitative CT used for:   spine (trabecular only)  
🗑
T-score: osteopenia   -1 to -2.5 SD below YN (young normal)  
🗑
Skeletal response to continuously delivered PTH   inc osteoclasts, inc resorption, inc serum Ca  
🗑
Skeletal response to once-daily delivered PTH   inc osteoblasts, inc bone formation, inc bone mass/ strength  
🗑
Causes of secondary osteoporosis   Hypogonadism, Cushing, thyrotoxicosis, hyperPTH, immobilization, malignancy, multi myeloma, DM, liver dz, celiac, heparin, antiseizure Rx  
🗑
Primary postmenopausal osteo: bone loss is   mostly trabecular (very sensitive to estrogen loss) -> vertebral compression fx & distal wrist fx  
🗑
Primary senile osteo: characterized by   trabecular and cortical bone loss -> hip fx  
🗑
Osteo mgmt   Ca citrate (0.7gm) or Ca CO3 (1-1.5gm elemental Ca). Vit D 800-2000IU/QD. Bisphosphonates. Teriparatide. Monitor BMD & height.  
🗑
Difference between osteoporosis and osteomalacia   Osteoporosis: proportional bone mineral and matrix decrease. Osteomalacia: bone mineral decrease only  
🗑
Osteomalacia patho   Decreased deposition of Ca & PO4 in bone matrix -> increased epiphysis width & cortical thinning.  
🗑
Osteomalacia in kids =   rickets (before closing of epiphyseal growth plates)  
🗑
Sx/sx of osteomalacia in kids   Delayed fontanelle closure, growth, & dentition. Rachitic rosary (enlarged costal cartilages), bow legs.  
🗑
Sx/sx of osteomalacia in adults   Proximal muscle weakness. Hip pain & antalgic gait. Tetany, muscle wasting, hypotonia (2/2 low Ca). Fractures w/o trauma.  
🗑
Osteomalacia tx   Vit D (50,000-100,000 U/week) and Ca. Monitor urinary Ca. Calcitriol if renal failure.  
🗑
Renal osteodystrophy (osteitis fibrosa or osteomalacia) MOA   CKD: kidneys fail to eliminate PO4 and poorly synthesize calcitriol -> compensatory increase in PTH  
🗑
Paget disease patho   Hereditary (AD) vs viral. Rapid formation & resorption of bone -> replaced by dense trabecular bone w/abnormal architecture w/areas of weakening -> fx and may compress nerves (CN VIII)  
🗑
Dietary requirement of Ca:   1000-1500 mg/day  
🗑
