Bone loss in hypothyroidism with hormone replacement. A histomorphometric study.

J M Coindre, J P David, L Rivière

    Archives of Internal Medicine
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Hormone replacement therapy in primary hypothyroidism can lead to bone loss. This study found increased bone remodeling and osteoporosis similar to hyperthyroidism after six months of treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Bone Biology
    • Histomorphometry

    Background:

    • Primary hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder.
    • Hormone replacement therapy is standard treatment.
    • The effects of hormone replacement on bone tissue require detailed investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the histomorphometric changes in bone tissue during hormone replacement therapy for primary hypothyroidism.
    • To assess the impact of thyroid hormone levels on bone remodeling and bone density.

    Main Methods:

    • Histomorphometric analysis of undecalcified transiliac bone biopsies.
    • Specimens collected from patients before treatment, at one month, and after six months of therapy.
    • Evaluation of trabecular and cortical bone parameters, including resorption surfaces, porosity, and bone volume.

    Main Results:

    • Before treatment, patients showed lower trabecular resorption and increased cortical thickness.
    • Early treatment (one month) revealed increased trabecular resorption and cortical porosity.
    • Long-term treatment (over six months) resulted in significant bone loss (decreased trabecular bone volume) and hyperremodeling, resembling osteoporosis seen in hyperthyroidism.

    Conclusions:

    • Hormone replacement therapy in primary hypothyroidism can induce significant bone loss and hyperremodeling.
    • The observed osteoporosis is comparable to that seen in hyperthyroidism.
    • Careful monitoring of bone health is warranted during thyroid hormone replacement therapy.
