1
Metabolic Bone disease: Things I didn’t understand as a Medical student/ FY1/ SHO/ SPR James Bateman Arthritis Research UK Educational Research Fellow
2
Aims and Objectives Aims –Understand the definition and spectrum of metabolic bone diseases Objectives –demonstrate understanding of epidemiology, aetiology, clinical features and management of osteoporosis, osteomalacia, Paget’s disease and renal osteodystrophy
3
Case 1 72 year old lady Acute onset severe thoracic pain Keeping her awake at night Radiates around ribs No history of trauma PMH – COPD DH - Inhalers What other questions would you ask?
4
Case 1 - contd On examination – –Frail lady –Apyrexial –Thoracic kyphosis –Tender over spinous processes T7/8 –No neurological deficit –differential diagnosis?
5
Diff. Diagnosis of Back Pain Simple mechanical eg ligamentous strain Degenerative disease with/without neural, cord or canal compromise Metabolic – osteoporosis, Pagets Inflammatory – Ankylosing spondylitis Infective – bacterial and TB Neoplastic Others, (trauma,congenital) Visceral
6
Case 1 Investigations HB 12.9, WCC 9.0, Plts 245 Na 139, K 4.4, U 7.3, Cr 96 Alk Phos 297, ALT 32, Bil 13, Ca 2.41 CRP 8
8
Osteoporosis Reduction in bone mass leading to increase risk of fracture Ratio of mineralised bone: “matrix is normal” Imbalance of bone remodelling
11
Risk factors for osteoporosis?
13
Measurement and definition of OP?
15
T scores
17
Typical OP # ?
18
OP fractures
20
250,000 # / yr in UK
21
Treatment for OP ?
22
Osteoporosis Lifestyle factors –Falls prevention –Hip protectors Ca and Vit D
23
Bisphosphonates Strontium SERMs Teriparatide- PTH
24
Preventing steroid induced osteoporosis All: lifestyle advise, calcium and vit D Age <65DEXA- if T score -1.0 or less then alendronate Age >65alendronate
25
NICE guidance http://guidance.nice.org.uk/TA87/?c=9152 4http://guidance.nice.org.uk/TA87/?c=9152 4 www.sheffield.ac.uk/FRAX/tool
27
Case 2 33 year old Asian lady Presents with 3 /12 history of generalised bony pain PMH – depression DH – sertraline O/E – generalised bony tenderness Joints – normal ROM, no inflammation
28
Investigations Hb 12.9 (11.5-16.5)Calcium 2.18 (2.2-2.6) WCC4.7 (4.9-11.0)Phosphate 0.79 (0.85- 1.45) Plt253 (150-400)Albumin39 (35-50) ESR 12Alk Phos172 (25-96) Clotting NormalTotal protein 72 (60-80) Urea 4.2 (3.0-6.5)LFTsnormal Creat85 (35-120)
29
Diagnosis?
30
Osteomalacia Rickets of adulthood Deficiency OR resistance to Vit D OR Phosphate handling problem Defective mineralization of bone Proximal myopathy, Bony pain, malaise –Deformities much less common than with rickets AP raised, Ca and Vit D low or normal PO4 low or normal
32
What I didn’t understand as a medical student… Bone remodelling is a continuous process with uptake and laying down of new matrix (osteoid) and its mineralisation (Ca&PO4) In osteomalacia: the osteoid is normal (the matrix laid down by the osteoblasts) Normally calcium and phosphate are then ladi down some 15 dyas later, and converted to hydroxyapatite)
33
What I didn’t understand as a medical student… You need enough phosphate to mineralise bone: PTH stops you the renal re-absorbtion of phosphate So that’s why osteomalacia happens with vitamin D deficiency
34
Causes?
35
Causes of osteomalacia/rickets Reduced availability of Vit D –Diet: oily fish, eggs, breakfast cereals –Elderly individuals with minimal sun exposure –Dark skin, skin covering when outside –Kidney failure –malabsorption
36
malabsorption –Coeliac –Intestinal bypass –Gastrectomy –Chronic pancreatitis –Pbc Epilepsy: phenytoin, phenobarbitones
37
Defective metabolism of Vitamin D –Chronic renal failure, Vit D dependent rickets, –Liver failure, anticonvulsants Receptor Defects Altered phosphate homeostasis –Malabsorption, RTA, hypophosphatasia (rare, low levels of alk phos)
38
Loosers zones
39
Treatment Vitamin D –usually oral- HIGH DOSE Calcium supplements
40
Case 3 62 year old lady referred with generalised muscular pain PMH – hypertension DH – bendrofluazide Examination – largely unremarkable Routine bloods all normal except Calcium of 2.95 She has come back to clinic for results What would you do now?
41
Symptoms of hypercalcaemia Stones, Bones, Moans, Psychic Groans
42
An approach to hypercalcaemia Stones, Renal colic Bones, Joint, bone, muscle pain, Muscle weakness Moans, Constipation Abdominal pains Psychic Groans Depression, confusion, altered mental state, Fatigue, lethargy Dehydration, polyuria
43
Causes of Hypercalcaemia?
44
Causes of Hypercalcaemia Malignancy Hyperparathyroidism – primary or tertiary Increased intake Myeloma Sarcoid Adrenal failure
45
Treatment of acute hypercalcaemia?
46
Treatment of acute hypercalcaemia Hydration, IV if Ca very high Bisphosphonates Treat cause
47
Hyperparathyroidism Primary hyperparathyroidism: –Often an incidental finding –May be part of MEN I, MEN II Secondary hyperparathyroidism –Compensates for chronic low Ca eg. Renal failure or malabsorption –[Ca 2+ ] and [PO 4 2- ] normal PTH high Tertiary hyperparathyroidism –Hyperplasia in longstanding secondary disease
48
Multiple endocrine neoplasia Aut dom MEN 1 parathyroid tumours, ant pituitary, pancreas MEN 2A thyroid tumour, phaeochromocytomas, parathyroid hyperplasia MEN 2B thyroid tumours and phaeos
49
Hypoparathyroidism Causes Destruction of gland- surgical (thyroidectomy- may be transient) Autoimmune- polyglandular autoimmune glandular syndrome Irradiation or infiltration (cancer, wilsons) Abnormal gland development
50
Case 4 This 73 year old lady was referred from her GP to ENT with deafness. They asked her to see the rheumatologist Why?
51
Paget’s Disease Disease of bone remodeling Accelerated bone resorption and formation Disorganised mosaic pattern bone with increased vascularity and fibrosis Cause unknown –paramyxovirus, canine distemper –Genetics- susceptibility loci More common in caucasian M:F ratio 3:210% in over 70’s
52
Paget’s Disease: clinical manifestations Bone pain Joint pain Deformity Spontaneous fractures
53
Pagets Disease: complications Fractures Deafness Nerve entrapment Spinal stenosis Cardiac failure Osteogenic sarcoma Hypercalcaemia (only if immobilized)
54
Paget’s Disease: investigations Raised serum alk phos (Urinary hydroxyproline, pyridinoline cross-links) Radiology:
55
Normal
57
Radiology –cortical thickening –osteolytic, osteosclerotic and mixed lesions –osteoporosis circumscripta –bone scan
59
Paget’s Treatment Bisphosphonates –calcitonin Indicated if –Complications –Pain –Deformity –AP 2-3X Upper limit –Skull disease
