LAFITA, J.; PINEDA, J.; FUENTES, C. e MARTINEZ, J. P.. Secondary osteoporosis. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2003, vol.26, suppl.3, pp.53-62. ISSN 1137-6627.
Secondary osteoporosis is caused by pathologies or medications, differing from the bone loss explainable by the post-menopausal stage or by ageing. The possible pathologies that can condition the loss of bone mass are very varied: endocrinological, digestive, genetic, haematological, rheumatic, post-transplant, pharmacological and a wide miscellaneous group. This article essentially reviews the endocrinological causes, with special emphasis on the more controversial aspects, followed by a clinical approach for the systematic diagnosis of these pathologies, which are frequent in cases initially labelled as primary osteoporosis.
