Description

Normal bone homeostasis is maintained in the adult skeleton by a process called bone remodeling in which trenches of effete or damaged bone are removed from bone surfaces by osteoclasts and are filled in by new bone laid down by osteoblasts. This process can be disturbed by increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and/or hormones that typically cause an increase in bone resorption, which may or may not be matched by increased bone formation in metabolic and other bone diseases. Metabolic bone diseases comprise a group of disorders in which normal bone turnover is disturbed, typically associated with increased bone resorption by osteoclasts and reduced or increased bone formation by osteoblasts. This lecture will briefly describe bone remodeling, which was covered earlier this year, and describe the various forms of hyperparathyroidism and the effects they have on the skeleton and blood and urine biochemistry. It will also describe osteomalacia and Paget's disease of bone and how they are diagnosed using imaging, biochemical and histologic studies.
