Metabolic Bone Disease
Metabolic bone diseases are a group of disorders that cause weakened or fragile bones, often due to an imbalance in essential nutrients like vitamin D, calcium, or phosphorus. These imbalances can disrupt bone remodeling and lead to conditions such as osteoporosis, osteomalacia, and rickets. At Revere Health, our specialists provide comprehensive care to diagnose and manage metabolic bone diseases, helping to strengthen bones and prevent fractures.
Common Types of Metabolic Bone Diseases
Osteoporosis: Characterized by decreased bone density and increased fracture risk, often related to low calcium or vitamin D levels.
Osteomalacia: Softening of the bones due to vitamin D deficiency, leading to bone pain and muscle weakness.
Rickets: A condition in children caused by a lack of vitamin D or calcium, resulting in bone deformities.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Diagnosis typically involves blood tests to measure nutrient levels and bone density scans to assess bone health. Treatment may include dietary supplements, medications, and lifestyle changes to restore nutrient balance and improve bone strength.
