Higher sympathetic activity as a risk factor for skeletal deterioration in pheochromocytoma
Bone Jul 10, 2018
Kim BJ, et al. - Authors gauged the lumbar spine trabecular bone score (TBS) as an indicator of skeletal deterioration in pheochromocytoma. Clinical evidence suggesting the contribution of catecholamine excess and the resultant sympathetic overstimulation in pheochromocytoma to bone fragility, especially in the trabecular bone, through a weak microarchitecture along with a lower bone mass and increased bone resorption was provided in the findings. The possibility of pheochromocytoma as a secondary cause of osteoporosis was also supported.
