Summary

Corticosteroids accelerate osteoporosis and fracture risk, particularly in postmenopausal women. Early prophylaxis with bisphosphonates, vitamin D, or hormone replacement can effectively prevent or reverse this bone loss.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Metabolic Bone Disease
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Corticosteroids significantly impact calcium metabolism.
  • This can lead to accelerated osteoporosis and increased fracture risk.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current knowledge on corticosteroid effects on bone metabolism.
  • To address management strategies for corticosteroid-induced bone loss.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current information and new findings.
  • Analysis of evidence from randomized trials.

Main Results:

  • Corticosteroids affect bone through multiple pathways, impacting formation and resorption.
  • Postmenopausal women on corticosteroids face the highest risk of bone loss and fracture.
  • Prophylaxis is recommended, with bisphosphonates as a first-line choice, followed by vitamin D or hormone replacement.

Conclusions:

  • Corticosteroid-induced bone loss is preventable or reversible with early therapeutic intervention.
