Zusammenfassung

Osteoporosis is defined as low bone mass, microarchirectural bone deterioration, and susceptibility to fracture. The primary causes of osteoporosis are estrogen deficiency after menopause and advanced age. Ten secondary causes of osteoporosis have been categorized by organ system or systemic disease. Each of these secondary causes is associated with a negative calcium balance or defects in bone formation or resorption at the bone remodeling unit. This chapter focuses on the diagnostic characteristics of these secondary causes.
