Patients with recurrent calcium nephrolithiasis and fasting hypercalciuria have a higher incidence of osteopenia and osteoporosis. They present increased BTMs (mainly resorptive) and up to 30% have hypocitraturia and increased urinary calcium/citrate ratio (>0.25). Medical … Leer más

Endogenous estrogens partially reduce atherogenic burden in female apolipoprotein E-deficient mice. Ovariectomy increases bone resorption, but not under exacerbated proatherogenic conditions induced by high-fat diet. The absence of apolipoprotein E might have an influence on … Leer más

Osteoporosis and fragility fracture have been diagnosed, although rarely. The condition, however, is transitory because there is no long-term data supporting the deleterious effect of pregnancy on bone mass or fracture risk. Prevention is limited … Leer más

Bone turnover markers, BMD and bone microstructural changes in osteoporosis are opposite to those of OA. These findings justify a less resistant bone with higher risk of fragility fractures in OP patients. These histomorphometric and … Leer más

Switching from tenofovir to abacavir led to a slight improvement in femoral BMD although no differences were detected between groups. Larger studies are necessary before firm recommendations can be made on the discontinuation of tenofovir … Leer más

Although scarce data are available, interesting opportunities are open for a better understanding of the pharmacogenetics of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures. They include the reanalysis of data already available from epidemiological studies and clinical trials, … Leer más

We conclude that patients receiving cinacalcet on dialysis presented similar serum phosphate levels but higher PTH and serum calcium levels during the initial six months after kidney transplantation than cinacalcet non-treated patients. The group previously … Leer más
