Clinic
- Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mass, micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue leading to bone fragility, and consequent increase in fracture risk.
- Pathological fracture
Post- Node
Note that Osteoporosis is often is a post-Node sign of Mal absorbtion of Calcium / Vit-D due to many causes such as
- Estrogen deficiency following menopause or Ovarian failure
- Excessive alcohol / Tobacco smoking
- Vitamin D deficiency: Hyperparathyroidism, increased parathyroid hormone
- Malnutrition
- Underweight/ Inactive
- Heavy metals: Higher cadmium exposure results in osteomalacia
- Soft drinks contain phosphoric acid
- Proton pump inhibitors (such as lansoprazole, esomeprazole, and omeprazole), which decrease the production of stomach acid
- Protein losing enteropathy [1]
Causes
- Osteoclasts, the only cells with bone resorption functions in vivo, maintain the balance of bone metabolism by cooperating with osteoblasts, which are responsible for bone formation.
- Excessive activity of osteoclasts causes many diseases such as [2]
- Osteoporosis
- Periprosthetic osteolysis
- Bone tumors
- Paget's disease
- MTB [3]
