differential diagnosis of osteoporosis
The differential for osteoporosis includes:
- idiopathic
- endocrine
- hypogonadism
- ovarian
- postmenopausal
- testicular
- eunuchoidism
- ovarian
- Cushing syndrome
- diabetes mellitus
- acromegaly
- Addison disease
- hyperthyroidism
- mastocytosis (mast cells produce heparin)
- pseudohypoparathyroidism
- pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism
- hypogonadism
- disuse (usually an aggressive osteoporosis with pseudopermeative pattern)
- iatrogenic
- steroid use
- heparin
- deficiency states
- scurvy (vitamin C deficiency)
- hypoproteinemia
- congenital
NB: this is not the same as the differential for osteopenia, as osteoporosis is only one of several causes of osteopenia.
