Ohio State offers expert, comprehensive care for metabolic bone and mineral disorders, including:

  • Osteoporosis – loss of bone density and bone quality which increases the risk for bone fracture, including conditions associated with steroids and other medications, transplantation, GI disorders, rheumatologic disorders
  • Calcium metabolism disorders, such as hypercalcemia (high blood calcium) and hypocalcemia (low blood calcium)
  • Phosphorus metabolism disorders – abnormal phosphate levels (we usually see low blood phosphate levels)
  • Parathyroid disorders- such as primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism and hypoparathyroidism – These could be reasons for abnormal blood calcium levels
  • Pseudohypoparathyroidism – body fails to respond to parathyroid hormone and shows low blood calcium levels
  • Fibrous dysplasia of bone – a bone tumor which may be associated with other endocrine problems.
  • Osteogenesis imperfecta – also known as brittle bone disease
  • Osteomalacia –  bone that are “soft” due to lack of mineralization  
  • Osteopetrosis – abnormally dense bone that's prone to breakage
  • Paget’s disease of bone – localized areas of bone with high bone turnover that can lead to misshapen bone 
  • Renal Osteodystrophy – a variety of bone conditions due caused by failing kidneys
  • X-linked hypophosphatemia – congenital condition of low blood phosphate and bowed legs
  • Hypophosphatasia – inherited disorder that can cause osteomalacia, bone pain
  • Parathyroid cancer– endocrinologists may assist with medications to control high calcium and high parathyroid hormone levels
