Abstract:
Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis is a common clinical problem. This review briefly summarizes the pathogenesis of this disorder. All relevant studies on the prevention and treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis are discussed more in detail. As the results of these studies are inconclusive, a proposal for a practical approach of the individual patient is formulated.
