Metabolic Bone Disease, Third Edition is the new, expanded edition of the classic text, featuring the latest advancements and research information in this fast-moving field. The Third Edition includes the most up-to-date information on molecular mechanisms, basic biology, pathophysiology, and diagnosis and management strategies of metabolic bone disease.- Edited by "fathers of the field"- An expanded version of a classic AP text- Complete coverage of a fast-growing field

Metabolic bone degeneration (osteoporosis) affects millions of people--primarily postmenopausal women--and is directly responsible for debilitating hip, vertebral, and limb fractures in the elderly. Incorporating advances made within just the past five years, The Osteoporotic Syndrome: Detection, Prevention, and Treatment serves as an up-to-date, practical guide to the major clinical aspects of osteoporosis. The text is liberally illustrated with detailed figures. As a resource for the clinician dealing with metabolic bone degeneration, this book represents an excellent source of information on the diagnosis and day-to-day management of osteoporosis.- Topics covered include:- Therapy with Vitamin D metabolites, sodium fluoride, thiazides, and isoflavones- Biochemical markers of bone turnover- Calcium, Vitamin D, and bone metabolism- Estrogens and tissue selective estrogens for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis- The effects of osteoporosis on orthopaedic surgery- The therapy of glucocorticoid bone disease- Effects of aging on bone structure and metabolism- Management of osteoporotic patients in our health care delivery system- The genetics of osteoporosis- Bisphosphonate therapy for osteoporosis- Calcitonin- Bone mass measurement techniques in clinical practice- Osteoporosis and the bone biopsy

Metabolic Bone Disease, Volume I covers the approach to a variety of disorders of mineral metabolism. The book discusses bone metabolism and calcium regulation; kidney function in calcium and phosphate metabolism; as well as the role of alkaline phosphatase in metabolic bone disorders. The text also describes the diagnostic value of bone biopsies; the etiology, clinical aspects, therapy, and the main syndromes of vitamin D deficiency, rickets, and osteomalacia; and the pathogenesis and therapy of osteoporosis. The pathogenesis and treatment of nephrolothiasis are also encompassed. Orthopedic doctors, physicians, endocrinologists, and people involved in the research of metabolic bone diseases will find the book invaluable.
