Description

his introductory book explores significant bone loss (including hip and spine fractures) prevalent among patients (particularly postmenopausal women) who have been exposed to corticosteroids. Written for clinicians, the research in this portable book reveals that fractures due to corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis can be prevented. A discussion of clinical trials is presented, with emphasis on preservation and increase in bone mass when drug appropriate treatment is provided
