Abstract EN
In 1891, Von Recklinghausen first established the association between the development of osteoporosis in the presence of overt hyperthyroidism.
Subsequent reports have demonstrated that BMD loss is common in frank hyperthyroidism, and, to a lesser extent, in subclinical presentations.
With the introduction of antithyroid medication in the 1940s to control biochemical hyperthyroidism, the accompanying bone disease became less clinically apparent as hyperthyroidism was more successfully treated medically.
Consequently, the impact of the above normal thyroid hormones in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis may be presently underrecognized due to the widespread effective treatments.
This review aims to present the current knowledge of the consequences of hyperthyroidism on bone metabolism.
The vast number of recent papers touching on this topic highlights the recognized impact of this common medical condition on bone health.
Our focus in this review was to search for answers to the following questions.
What is the mechanisms of action of thyroid hormones on bone metabolism? What are the clinical consequences of hyperthyroidism on BMD and fracture risk? What differences are there between men and women with thyroid disease and how does menopause change the clinical outcomes? Lastly, we report how different treatments for hyperthyroidism benefit thyroid hormone-induced osteoporosis.
