Improving trends in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis
نویسنده
چکیده
Objective In 2002 we undertook an audit of GIO (glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis) management in the outpatient clinics of our university teaching hospital and found a wide variation in practice and considerable under-treatment of patients. We re-audited our practice in 2006.

Expression of HCA2 Receptors in Femoral Epiphysis and Metaphysis of Rats with Dexamethasone-Induced Osteoporosis
The present study describes the changes in expression of hydroxy- carboxylic acid receptor 2 (HCA2 receptor) in femoral epiphysis and metaphysis of rats with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO). 16 growing male Sprauge dawley rats were randomly divided into two equal groups consisting of normal control and rats that were rendered osteoporotic by receiving 0.1 mg/kg/day dexamethasone throu...
متن کاملGlucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.
Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis is one of the most important side-effects of glucocorticoid use, leading to an increased fracture risk. In this review, recent advances in the understanding of the mechanisms of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis are summarised. Methods to identify persons at risk for fractures are discussed, as well as the new ACR recommendations for the prevention and trea...
متن کاملGlucocorticoid induced osteoporosis.
Glucocorticoid therapy is the most common cause of secondary osteoporosis and the leading iatrogenic cause of the disease. Often, the presenting manifestation is fracture, which occurs in 30% to 50% of patients receiving long-term glucocorticoid therapy. Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis predominantly affects regions of the skeleton that have abundant cancellous bone such as lumbar spine and ...

The current study aimed to improve the understanding on the association between adrenomedullin and osteoporosis in mice with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. Bone resorption and osteoporosis-associated indexes, including maximum load, stiffness, energy to failure, ultimate strength, elastic modulus, post-yield displacement and post-yield displacement, in mice with osteoporosis were analyzed...

Correspondence to: Lai-Wa Kwok Abstract: Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis is the most common cause of drug-induced osteoporosis, leading to fragility fractures, decrease in mobility and quality of life. Patients who receive equivalent dose of prednisolone 5 mg for more than six months are at risk of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, but there is no conclusive evidence for a safe cutoff fo...
