Endocrine Abstracts

Context: Previous studies suggest that patients with acromegaly were at higher risk of vertebral fractures (VFs) despite normal bone mineral density (BMD). However, these patients could have several associated endocrine deficits known to increase the fracture risk, such as hypogonadism. In addition, patients with acromegaly have radiological deformations of the spine, called Erdheim’s syndrome, which can overestimate the radiological VFs.Objective: ...
