Metabolic Bone Disease Flashcards

1
Q

Bone remodeling

A
  • osteoclasts: make resorption pits using enz/acid
  • osteoblasts: fill pit back up with osteoid (bone specific collagen, high affinity for Ca phosphate crystal): calcifying osteoid: Ca x PO4 greater than 24

Osteoclasts have RANK, which binds RANK-L
lots of RANK L and not much OPG: bone resorption high (high OPG bone resorption low)

Q

Types of fragility fractures and RFs

A

spine, most (only 1/3 cause pain)
hip
wrist

fragility fractures= osteoporosis

RFs:
age
falls
low bone mass
previous fractures

Q

T score

A

SDs below peak bone mass

  • 1-2.5 below peak bone mass: osteopenia
  • 2.5 and further below: osteoporosis

Q

Osteomalacia and rickets

A

impaired bone mineralization resulting in soft, weak bones

Osteomalacia: adults
rickets: kids

*inadequate ca x phosphate product for bone mineralization (should be above 24)

Q

Paget’s Disease of Bone

A

-an idiopathic bone condition characterized by excessive/unregulated bone resorption and formation

  • genetic (familial aggregation; 18q linkage; mutation of osteoprotegerin gene; mut of sequestosome 1/P62 gene)
  • chronic paramyxovirus infection
  • viral disorder evidence (geographic variation; dog ownership; time trends; viral studies)

Q

Sequestosome I

A

SQSTMI: ubiquitin binding protein. Forms ubiquitinated chains that function as protein scaffolds for IL-1 and TNF induced NF-kB activation, which regulates RANK signaling that controls osteoclast differentiation, activity and survival.
SQSTMI mutations: linked to Paget’s Disease

17
Q

clinical features of Paget’s disease

A
Skeletal:
Pain
 Deformity
 Fractures
 Osteoarthritis
 Hypervascularity
 Acetabular Protrusion
 Osteogenic Sarcoma

Neuro:
deafness (8th n, ossicles)
CN compression (bony)
spinal cord compression (vascular)

CV:
atherosclerosis
aortic stenosis
CHF (high output)

Common sites of involvement:
pelvis
skull
vert
femur
tibia
18
Q

Paget’s progression

A

1st 10 yrs: osteoclastic (increase NTX/CTX)

Then: osteoclastic/osteoblastic mixed phase (high NTX/CTX); alk phos high

After 20 years: osteoblastic (NTX/CTX low) alk phos high or low

19
Q

Dx of Paget’s disease

A

remodeling markers: elevated
XR feat: very specific
(osteolytic lesions: blades of grass on long bones and resorption frot in flat bones; osteosclerotic lesions; thickened disorg trabeculae; thick, expanded cortex; expansion of bone size)
bone scan: very sensitive (intense uptake in osteoblastic stage)
bone biopsy: occasionally needed

20

Increased Osteoblasts in Periphery
Disorganized, Mosaic, Woven Bone
