What causes Osteoporosis?
decreased osteoblast function
T/F: osteoporosis is more common in post-menopausal women?
TRUE
Types of Osteoporosis
1). primary 2). seconday
What causes primary osteoporosis?
1). idiopathic (unknown 2). increased age
what causes secondary osteoporosis?
1). underlying diseases 2). medications
Clinical manifestations for osteoporosis
1). sudden back pain (compression fx of vertebral body) 2). increased kyphosis of T spine 3). decreased height
Risk factors for developing osteoporosis (9)
1). decreased bone mass after 35 years old 2). female hormone changes 3). genetics 4). Caucasian 5). low physical activity 6). tobacco/alcohol use 7). medications 8). depression 9). diet/nutrition deficits
TX for osteoporosis?
1). calcium and Vitamin D 2). Bisphosphonates (most common tx) 3). Denosumab 4). Sclerostin Inhibitor 5). Teriparatide
AEs of calcium?
Consitipation
suffix for Bisphosphonates
-dronate
MOA of Bisphosphonates
binds key enzyme to inhibit natural bone turnover pathway >> increases osteoclast apoptosis which decreases bone turnover
Bisphosphoantes considerations
1). stay upright 2). take w/water 30-60 minutes before food
Bisphosphonates common AE
GI issues (increased if not upright)
Rare Bisphosphoantes AE
1). atypical femur fx 2). osteonecrosis of jaw (ONJ) - from IV use or long-term trx
Bisphosphonates contraindications
1). hypocalcemia 2). esophageal abnormalities 3). inability to remain upright
what type of drug is denosumab (Prolia)
Anti-RANKL
denosumab (Prolia) AEs
same as bisphospnates
denosumab (Prolia) considerations
administered in provider’s office
Sclerostin inhibitors MOA
increase bone formation
Sclerostin inhibitors common AE
arthraligia
Sclerostin inhibitors rare AEs
1). hypocalcemia (atypical) 2). femur fx 3). ONJ 4). increased risk of MI, stroke, or CV death
Synthetic PTH MOA
1). stimulate osteoblast function 2). increases GI calcium absorption 3). increase renal calcium absorption all this increases BMD
Synthetic PTH AEs
transient OH within 4 hours of dose
Drug name for Synthetic PTH
Teriparatide (Forteo)
