Bone histomorphometry after treatment with teriparatide (PTH 1-34) in a patient with adynamic bone disease subsequent to parathyroidectomy

چکیده
A 33-year-old male patient suffered from adynamic bone disease because of parathyroidectomy due to tertiary hyperparathyroidism. Histomorphometric analysis of bone biopsies taken before and 8 months after treatment with teriparatide (human parathyroid hormone 1-34 of recombinant DNA origin) for 18 months is demonstrated. A considerable increase in mineralized bone volume and also stimulated bone remodelling were detected after treatment with teriparatide. Although teriparatide is currently only licenced for treatment of severe osteoporosis, this case shows the potential therapeutic effect of this new drug to improve bone structure in a patient with adynamic bone disease.

Treatment of adynamic bone disease in a haemodialysis patient with teriparatide
Prevalence of adynamic bone disease (ABD), characterized by low bone turnover and absence or a reduced number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, is increasing steadily over the last years. We present a dialysis patient, with recurrent bone fractures and biopsy-proven ABD, who was treated with teriparatide. Nine months after initiation of treatment, iPTH plasma levels increased to 520 pg/mL and a s...

BACKGROUND Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-based tissue engineering has focused on inducing new bone efficiently. However, modeling and remodeling of BMP-induced bone have rarely been discussed. Teriparatide (parathyroid hormone [PTH] 1-34) administration initially increases markers of bone formation, followed by an increase in bone resorption markers. This unique activity would be expected to...

Incidences of osteoporosis and fragility fractures are constantly increasing, which are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. When these patients undergo surgery, a higher number of postoperative complications may be expected because of poor bone quality and delayed healing. As a result, poorer primary stability of the implant, initial loosening, and impaired fixation strength in d...

Osteitis fibrosa cystica is the classic patognomonic form of skeletal disease in hyperparathyroidism that characterizes with decreased cortical bone thickness compared to increased cancellous bone. We present a case of 52-year old female patient with osteolysis of the left calf on radiographic images. The bone scan detected multiple focal pathological accumulations in the skull, left tibia, bot...

Of 110 enrolled patients, 77 underwent a second bone biopsy with quantitative...
