4 unknown bone diseases

In addition to osteoporosis, there are a number of rare bone diseases, including Paget's disease, osteogenesis imperfecta, bone metastasis and kidney osteodystrophy. The following explanation about the disease and its causes.

Bone growth rates are known to occur during childhood, adolescence and early adulthood. This growth period must be supported by adequate intake of calcium, vitamin D, and physical exercise so that the bones are strong and not porous. Because at the age of 20, bones tend to be more easily brittle and cause bone health problems.

Get to know the types of rare bones that are classified

Although there are efforts to protect bones by meeting nutritional needs and a healthy lifestyle, there are also bone diseases that can still attack. This type of bone disease mainly attacks because it is related to genetic, environmental, and certain diseases. Some bone diseases of this type include:
  • Paget's disease
A bone disease that is rarely heard is Paget's disease. This condition occurs when the bone renewal and repair cycle does not proceed as it should. In this case, bone regeneration occurs faster than expected. However, the main cause of this disorder is still not known with certainty. Initial estimates are genetic factors in the family and environmental factors.
Due to abnormalities in the regeneration process, the bones weaken and eventually experience deformities (deformity). A common symptom of this type of bone disease is the appearance of bone pain. This pain usually occurs in the pelvic area and spine. In the supine position, the pain in the bone becomes more and more pseudo, more unbearable.
In many cases of Paget's disease, no symptoms appear and therefore this disease can be known only in cases of fractures or fractures or consultation with a doctor. Therefore, it is at least possible to consult a doctor immediately if symptoms of bone pain or bone shape changes occur.
  • Osteogenesis imperfecta
Another name for osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is brittle bone disease. This condition is characterized by imperfect bone formation. Physical conditions sufferers of this disease are seen in brittle bones and easily cracked or broken. This type of bone disease generally appears from birth and attacks children whose families have a history of similar genetic names.
Most of these bone disorders are benign. When this brittle bone disease becomes severe, it can cause heart failure, spinal cord problems, permanent physical disability or hearing loss.
Until now, there is no treatment that can cure this bone disease. However, efforts to administer drugs, physiotherapy, and special rehabilitation can help patients to carry out normal daily activities. In some cases, bone surgery is needed to overcome the effects of bone lesions on this bone disease.
  • Metastasis
The next bone disease is bone metastasis that occurs when cancer cells spread in the bone. Cancer cells that can spread can come from various types of cancer that existed before. Bone metastases are usually more common in the spine, pelvis and femur. Chances are, this disease is an early indication that someone has cancer.
But in some cases, bone metastases can occur after cancer treatment several years ago. Breast cancer and prostate cancer are types of cancer that often spread cancer cells.
This type of bone disease can cause pain and fractures. In general, cancer that has spread to bones cannot be cured. In cases of cancer that can no longer be cured (stage 4 cancer), the treatment provided is only intended to reduce pain. In this case, treatment is also done to eliminate other symptoms due to bone metastasis.
  • Kidney osteodystrophy
Kidney osteodystrophy is a bone disease that specifically affects a person with kidney problems. Kidney disorders are characterized by the inability of the kidneys to maintain a balanced composition of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. This type of disorder is common in people with kidney disease and most dialysis patients.
Beware if this disease attacks children whose bones are still developing because it will have a serious impact later. Some of these effects are retardation and disability of bone growth. Defects that occur can bend legs in or out.
This type of bone abnormality is commonly known as kidney rickets. Another effect of bone growth disorders that can be seen clearly is short posture in children.
The symptoms of this disease can be monitored as soon as children with kidney disease grow, even before they undergo dialysis. Conversely, in adults, new symptoms appear after dialysis several years.

Bone disease above is of course not widely known, but at least now there is a brief description of the symptoms of this disease. One last thing to remember is that everyone is at risk of developing this disease. Do not hesitate to consult with a doctor to get more specific and complete information.
