Steroid-induced osteoporosis or glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is a common form of secondary osteoporosis and is a cause of increased morbidity and mortality. The pathogenesis of GIOP includes decreased bone formation and increased bone resorption. Clinicians can rely on several effective medications for the treatment and prevention of GIOP, including antiresorptive drugs (i.e. bisphosphonates) and bone anabolic drugs (i.e. teriparatide).

Abstract
Steroid-induced osteoporosis or glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is a common form of secondary osteoporosis and is a cause of increased morbidity and mortality. The pathogenesis of GIOP includes decreased bone formation and increased bone resorption. Clinicians can rely on several effective medications for the treatment and prevention of GIOP, including antiresorptive drugs (i.e. bisphosphonates) and bone anabolic drugs (i.e. teriparatide).File in questo prodotto:
