When is Parathyroid hormone level testing indicated
regulates calcium and phosphate homeostasis abnormal calcium
31
Describe Primary hyperparathyroidism
parathyroid adenoma causes inappropriate release of | results in hypercalcemia l/t osteopenia/osteoporosis stimulate calcium resorbtion/breakdown, thus extra in blood
32
Describe Secondary hyperparathyroidism
commonly due to vitamin D deficiency!! | Kidneys and Gut- unalbe to absorb calcium, thus floating in blood
33
What if PTH is elevated and vitamin D is low?
1) replace vitamin D, 2) recheck PTH 3) D- levels should normalize
34
PT c/o Loss of height, kyphosis, mild back pain and had aFalls from standing
Osteoporisis 1] asymptomatic until fractures occur, 2] Loss of height, kyphosis, back pain with vertebral fractures 3] Falls from standing that cause hip or wrist fractures – think about osteoporosis

wedging of the vertebra anteriorly with vertebral collapse (arrows), vertebral end-plate irregularity, demineralization.
36
What are comorbidities that lead to osteoporosis

38
Why lab values of albumin are important?
marker of nutritional status, necessary for calculating a corrected calcium ionized calcium so no binding protein interference
39
Pt has Alkaline phosphate, what can this indicate?
Paget’s, osteomalacia
40
Pt has Mgphosphate, what can this indicate?
found in bone, low levels can indicate osteomalacia. | PTH regulates phos and calcium
41
What is Used to estimate bone mineral density?
Bone Densitometry LOC-for screening and diagnosis of osteoporosis, based on female Caucasians is used to determine “normal” BMD
42
List the Bone Densitometry scans

43
What is a comparison of a patient's BMD to that of a healthy thirty-year-old and same sex?
``` T score (T-THIRTY) IF -2.0SD, lower than average by two SDs in females ```
44
What is used in reference the age-, sex-, and ethnicity-matched population, used in Pre-menopausal women, men <65 yrs, children?
Z- score | IF -0.5 SD, your bone density is less than the norm for people your age by one-half of a standard deviation.
45
What is the normal BMD, osteopenia BMD, osteoporosis
N-Within T-score -1.0 or higher Osteopenia-T score between -1.0 and -2.5, osteopenia OsteoporosisT score -2.5 or lower, osteoporosis
46
Who should be screened for Osteoporosis

47
What is used as a screening tool for Osteoporosis
Hip with DXA | Every 2-3 yrs
48
Who should be treated for Osteoporosis
1] PMP women and men (> 50 years) with h/o hip or vertebral fracture, 2] Any patient with osteoporosis (T-score ≤-2.5), 3] Any patient with osteopenia (T score -1.0 to -2.5) and an estimated 10-year risk of hip or osteoporosis related fracture
49
Describe Nonpharmacologic Therapy of Osteoporosis

50
What is DOC 1st line for prevention and treatment of osteoporsis.
Bisphosphonates efficacy, favorable cost, and the availability of long-term safety data. DEC Loss at hip MOA: Inhibits osteoclast activity, reducing bone resorption, turnover; Increase bone mass, decrease fracture risk ADRs- erosive esophagitis, empty stomach; remain upright for at least 30 minutes. 5-7 years, consider drug holiday, consistent f/u with DEXA is the best guide 1] Alendronate (Fosamax) 70mg/week, 2] Risedronate (Actonel) 35mg/week, or 150mg/month, 3] Ibandronate (Boniva) 150mg/month, 4] Zoledronic acid (Reclast) 5mg IV q 12 months
51
WHat Increases bone mineral density, lowers serum LDL levels, decreases risk of vertebral fractures, decreases risk of breast cancer?
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) as treatment Raloxifene (Evista) 60mg/day MOA- Selectively binds to estrogen receptors, inhibiting bone resorption and turnover ADRs-venous thromboembolism and hot flashes
52
What is Indicated for PMP women with high risk of fracture, or failure of other therapy?
Denosumab (Prolia) Reduces incidence of vertebral, nonvertebral and hip fractures; 60mg SC q 6 months MOA- RANK-Ligand inhibitor; Reduces bone turnover and resorption by inhibiting osteoclast activity ADRs-back pain, hypercholesterolemia, hypocalcemia
53
Which is indicated in symptomatic menopausal women with osteoporosis low risk fracture?
Estrogen/Progestin Reduce bone turnover, prevent bone loss, increase bone mineral density, reduce fracture risk; May be ADR-Increased risk of breast cancer, stroke, thromboembolism, and CAD
54
Which can be used w/ bisphosphonate to maintain bone mass?
Parathyroid- Teriparatide (Forteo) 20 or 40 mcg/d SQ for no longer than 24 months; High risk pt- caution CA MOA- Stimulates more bone formation/osteoblast than resorption, but osteoclast via PTH ADRs- nausea, headache, hypercalcemia, BBW of osteosarcoma- malignant bone tumor Cuts FX healing, but risk cancer
55
Which RX is Best in patients with pain from osteoporotic fractures improves bone pain? Not as effective
Calcitonin Suppresses osteoclast activity; ADRs- for up to 4 wks, Risk of tachyphylaxis; Recent cancer warning (2012), makes drug less favorable choice
56
Describe Calcium/Vitamin D Supplements as treatment
Calcium 1000-1200 mg/day in divided doses with food intake; Vitamin D 800-1000 IU/day; Best preparations are calcium carbonate + vitamin D bid–tid with food -ALL
57
How often should BMD be measured after TX?
12-24 months after beginning treatment
58
What is the indications for decline
1] 4% change in spine or 6% change in hip considered significant, 2] If BMD declines at 2 years, discuss compliance with therapy or consider secondary causes of osteoporosis
