The loss of which hormone contributes to osteoporosis?
Estrogen
What are the increase or decrease hormones of osteoporosis?
In osteoporosis, there is typically a decrease in hormones that promote bone formation, such as estrogen in women and testosterone in men, leading to increased bone resorption and decreased bone density. Additionally, parathyroid hormone (PTH) can increase in response to low calcium levels, further promoting bone loss. Overall, the imbalance between bone resorption and formation due to hormonal changes contributes significantly to the development of osteoporosis.
Is hormone replacement therapy a good treatment for osteoporosis?
Hormone replacement therapy should not be the firstline treatment for osteoporosis due to potential health risks with long-term use. If there are no menopausal symptoms, other treatments such as bisphosphonates are more effective and safer.
What are some problems that elderly people might have as a result of decreasing hormone production?
Elderly people may experience issues such as decreased muscle mass and strength, reduced bone density leading to osteoporosis, changes in metabolism leading to weight gain, and decreased libido as a result of decreasing hormone production.
A patient is 66 yrs old she is a smoker and has 3 different fractures what is her disease?
Most likely, it would be osteoporosis. Women after menopause are at a higher risk than women that are menstruating, because they loose their main source of the hormone estrogen, which helps keep calcium in their bone. The other risk factor that contributes to osteoporosis is smoking.
What body system are affected by osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is basically a severe loss of bone density.
What hormone must be produced if calcium levels are too low and why is the production of this hormone can lead to osteoporosis?
When calcium levels are too low, the parathyroid hormone (PTH) is produced to increase calcium levels in the blood. PTH stimulates the release of calcium from bones, increases intestinal absorption of calcium, and promotes kidney reabsorption of calcium. However, prolonged high levels of PTH can lead to excessive bone resorption, weakening the bones and increasing the risk of osteoporosis. This condition results from a net loss of bone density over time.
What is the role of calcarea carbonica in osteoporosis?
To reduce bone loss
What is caused by the progressive loss of bone density?
Progressive loss of bone density can lead to osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures. It can also result in decreased bone strength and density, increasing the likelihood of other bone-related issues.
Reduction in the quantity of bone?
This is called Osteoporosis. A frequent condition in women who undergo hormone reductions as they age.
Does a patient with osteoporosis never drink milk?
Not necessarily. Some do drink milk, but maybe not enough. But milk intake is not the only factor that contributes to osteoporosis.
What is happening to the calcium in the bones o a person that has osteoporosis?
In a person with osteoporosis, the balance between bone resorption and bone formation is disrupted, leading to a net loss of bone density. Osteoclasts, the cells responsible for breaking down bone, become more active, resulting in increased calcium release from the bones into the bloodstream. Consequently, bones become weaker and more fragile, making them more susceptible to fractures. This calcium loss contributes to the overall deterioration of bone structure characteristic of osteoporosis.
