Corticosteroids accelerate osteoporosis and fracture risk. This review summarizes current knowledge on their bone effects and treatment strategies for this common condition.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Bone Metabolism
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Corticosteroids are widely used medications with significant adverse effects on bone health.
  • Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis is a common and serious complication, increasing fracture risk.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and synthesize current scientific understanding of corticosteroid effects on bone.
  • To highlight new information and address remaining questions regarding the management of corticosteroid-induced bone disease.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature search of relevant scientific databases.
  • Critical appraisal and synthesis of existing research on corticosteroid and bone interactions.
  • Identification of knowledge gaps and future research directions.

Main Results:

  • Corticosteroids negatively impact bone density and microarchitecture.
  • Mechanisms include decreased bone formation and increased bone resorption.
  • Fracture risk is significantly elevated in patients on long-term corticosteroid therapy.

Conclusions:

  • Corticosteroids pose a substantial threat to bone integrity, necessitating proactive management.
  • Further research is crucial to optimize treatment and prevention strategies for corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis.
