Osteoporosis most often presents clinically with fractures (most commonly, vertebral fractures) and loss of vertebral height. Diagnosis is established by measuring bone mineral density (BMD) with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Management includes lifestyle modifications, maintaining adequate ...
Although the diagnosis of osteoporosis is still based on a detailed history, the measurement bone mineral density and long known biochemical tests, significant advances have been made in utilizing this information more rationally. For example, osteocalcin is traditionally known as a bone formation ...
