Metabolic Bone Disease

Metabolic Bone Disease refers to a group of disorders that affect the strength, structure and metabolism of bones due to abnormalities in minerals like calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D or bone mass regulation. These conditions can lead to weakened bones, making them more prone to fractures and deformities. Common types include osteoporosis, osteomalacia, rickets and Paget’s disease of bone. Causes may include nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, genetic factors, chronic kidney disease or certain medications. Early diagnosis and proper treatment includes dietary changes, supplements, medications and lifestyle adjustments which are essential to prevent complications and also maintain healthy bones.
