Osteoporosis Day 2 Flashcards
What is the clinical presentation of OP?
asymptomatic (diagnosed by BMD) fractures widow's hump chest wall changes loss in ht back pain indigestion difficulty breathing depression
What is a normal T score?
> -1
What is the T score of osteopenia?
-1- -2.5
What is the t score of osteoporosis?
</= -2.5
What is the t score of severe osteoporsis?
</= -2.5 with a previous fracture
What is the z score to diagnose OP?
</= -2 in combination with other risk factors or fracture
What are the goals of therapy?
Achieve highest peak bone mass
maintain BMD and minimize bone loss
if had history of fracture- schieve adequate pain control, maximize rehabillitation and restore independence
What is the non pharm treatment of OP?
exercise (wt bearing and resistance activities)
smoking cessation
decreased caffine intake
calcium and vitamin D
What is the role of supplement calcium?
serum calcium does not reflect dietary intake of calcoum since homeostasis is controlled
more affective when reactive peak bone mass when bone loss begins (less effective in 1st 5 years of menopause)
increased absorption with normal vitamin D levels
What are the different formulations of calcium?
calcium carbonate
calcium citrate
What is the ADRs of calcium?
constipation
how should calcium be given?
in divided doses no longer than 500-600 mg/dose
What is the role of supplement vitamin D?
controversy regarding need with 400-600 iu
sunlight exposure of 5% of skin = 4.35 IU (for fare skin it will reach in 20 min all need or up to 2 hours in darker skin)
D3 OTC
D2- RX
Who are the candidates for Pharmacological Treatment?
postmenopausal womwn and men >50 based on a hip or vertebral fracture
T score <-2.5 at femoral neck or spine
Low bone mass and a 10yr probability of hip fracture or op related fracture
clinicians judement and or pt preference
What are the pharmacological therapy options of OP?
bisphosphates SERM HRT SERM/HRT PTH Calcitonin RANKL inhibitors
What is the MOA of bisphosphates?
inhibit bone resorption by inhibiting osteoclast formation
where does bisphosphates provide benefit?
at all sites
What is bisphosphates approved for?
prevention and treatment
when does BMD of bisphosphates peak and plateaus?
1 year and 3
What are the contraindications of bisphosphates?
renal insufficiency (CrCl<35) hypocalcaemia upper GI problems unable to sit upright for 30-60 min category C
