  1. Metabolic Diseases of the Bone • Osteoporosis • Osteomalacia • Paget’s • Gout • Bone Tumors

  2. Osteoporosis • Characteristics • Decrease in bone mass • Bone Fracture • Women Osteoporosis

  3. Predisposing Factors Family history Intake of caffeine, alcohol, sodium, protein, some medications Inactivity Diseases including hyperthyroidism, diabetes Assessment Back pain, loss of height, Dowagers hump Diagnosis: normal lab studies; decreased bone density Prevention: Calcium to 1000 mg/day; avoid alcohol; calcitonin, Fosamax, Actonel Osteoporosis Osteoporosis treat, prevention

  4. Osteomalacia • Characteristics • Vitamin D Deficiency, like rickets in children • Predisposing Factors • Lack of UV light • GI malabsorption • Kidney disease • Assessment • Skeletal pain • Bowing of legs, kyphosis, Osteomalacia help

  5. Osteomalacia • Diagnosis • Decreased serum calcium • X-ray show bone demineralization • Increased serum alkaline phosphatase • Increased urinary hydroxyproline • WHY? • Treatment • Increase Vit D , normal diet, UV , exercise

  6. Paget’s Disease • Characteristics • Bone deformities due to abnormal regeneration and reabsorption of bone • Affects pelvis, lone bones, spine, cranium • Predisposing factors • White male over 50 • Assessment • Small hat syndrome, pathologic fractures, bone pain • May lead to osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma Paget’s disease help

  7. Paget’s Disease • Diagnosis • Increased serum alkaline phosphatase • X-ray shows thickened bone, curved, abnormal structure • Nursing diagnosis • Treatment • Supportive • Calcitonin, EHDP, Mithramycin • Exercises

  8. What nursing problems can you identify from this slide?

  9. Gout • Caused by disturbed uric acid metabolism • Urate salts deposited in articular, periarticular and subcutaneous tissue • Primary result of genetic defect purine metabolism • Secondary due to increased cell turnover • ? Who gets secondary gout? Gout help

  10. Manifestations Swollen, tender red joints Diagnostic Tests Nursing Diagnosis Interventions Acute: alleviate pain, inflammation Bedrest Medications including ASA, NSAID, Colchicine IV or orally (GI symptoms) Assessment Gouty Arthritis

  11. Manifestations Swollen, tender red joints Diagnostic Tests Nursing Disgnosis Interventions Acute:alleviate pain, inflammation Bedrest Medications including ASA, NSAID, Colchicine IV or orally (GI symptoms) Assessment Gouty Arthritis

  12. Uricosuric Agents Probenecid (ASA an antagonist); inhibits resportion of uric acid thus increases excretion of uric acid Sulfinprazone (anturan) to block resorption uric acid Need high fluid intake, alkaline urine Xanthine-oxidase inhibitors decrease uric acid production Allopurinal (zyloprim); may cause agranucytosis Need high fluid intake, and alkaline urine Management of Gout
