Bone Disorders And Calcium Disorders
- Bone density testing (DEXA scans) to assess bone strength and fracture risk.
- Personalized treatment plans, including:
- Calcium and vitamin D supplementation.
- Prescription medications like bisphosphonates, denosumab, or teriparatide to improve bone density.
- Lifestyle advice, including weight-bearing exercises and fall prevention strategies.
- Diagnosis and treatment of vitamin D deficiency or calcium imbalance causing soft and weak bones.
- Nutritional counseling to improve dietary calcium and vitamin D intake.
- Evaluation of underlying causes such as:
- Primary hyperparathyroidism (parathyroid adenoma or hyperplasia).
- Malignancy-related hypercalcemia.
- Advanced imaging, including parathyroid ultrasound and Sestamibi scans, to identify abnormalities.
- Surgical referrals for parathyroidectomy, when required, or medical therapy for calcium control.
- Diagnosis of conditions like:
- Hypoparathyroidism due to surgery, autoimmune diseases, or genetic disorders.
- Vitamin D deficiency or chronic kidney disease.
- Treatment with calcium supplements, active vitamin D analogs (calcitriol), and magnesium correction.
- Specialized care for abnormal bone remodeling causing pain, deformities, and fractures.
- Medications like bisphosphonates to manage disease progression.
- Expert care for conditions like:
- Primary hyperparathyroidism: Excess parathyroid hormone causing high calcium levels and bone loss.
- Secondary hyperparathyroidism: Linked to chronic kidney disease or vitamin D deficiency.
- Multidisciplinary approach for medical or surgical management.
- Diagnosis and management of rare conditions like osteogenesis imperfecta, fibrous dysplasia, or skeletal dysplasias.
- Hormonal and nutritional therapies to optimize bone health.
- Diagnosis and management of rare conditions like osteogenesis imperfecta, fibrous dysplasia, or skeletal dysplasias.

- Management of conditions like:
- Hypophosphatemia or hyperphosphatemia due to kidney or endocrine disorders.
- Disorders of vitamin D metabolism, such as hereditary or acquired forms.
- Management of conditions like:
- Hypophosphatemia or hyperphosphatemia due to kidney or endocrine disorders.

FAQs on BONE AND CALCIUM DISORDERS
Bone and calcium disorders affect bone strength and mineral balance. Common conditions include:
✅ Osteoporosis – Weak, brittle bones prone to fractures
✅ Osteopenia – Low bone density, a precursor to osteoporosis
✅ Hypercalcemia – Excess calcium in the blood, causing kidney and heart issues
✅ Hypocalcemia – Low calcium levels, leading to muscle cramps and weak bones
📌 Vitamin D deficiency – Affects calcium absorption
📌 Parathyroid disorders – Overactive or underactive parathyroid glands
📌 Kidney disease – Alters calcium and phosphorus balance
📌 Certain medications – Can impact calcium metabolism
✔ Blood tests – Check calcium, vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone levels
✔ Bone density scan (DEXA scan) – Assesses bone strength
✔ X-rays & imaging – Detect fractures or bone deformities
✅ Calcium & vitamin D supplements to support bone health
✅ Medications like bisphosphonates for osteoporosis
✅ Lifestyle changes – Weight-bearing exercises and a balanced diet
✅ Treating underlying causes – Managing parathyroid or kidney disorders
