Stumpf, U.; Hesse, E.; Böcker, W.; Kammerlander, C.; Neuerburg, C. und Schmidmaier, R. (2019): Differenzialdiagnosen der Osteoporose. In: Zeitschrift für Gerontologie und Geriatrie, Vol. 52, No. 5: pp. 414-420

Abstract

The differential diagnoses of osteoporosis in geriatric and trauma patients are very important as they may induce different therapies. On average approximately 20% of women and 50% of men have secondary causes of osteoporosis. The foundation of the diagnostics is a basic osteological laboratory investigation with which the most important secondary causes can be identified. From a geriatric and traumatological point of view vitamin D deficiency with secondary hyperparathyroidism, primary hyperparathyroidism, male hypogonadism, multiple myeloma and monoclonal gammopathy of unclear significance (MGUS) are of particular importance.
