Osteomalacia is the inability to mineralize the newly formed [[bone]] matrix, caused by the deficiency of [[vitamin D]] in adults. It is kind of low turn-over [[bone]] disease, in which [[osteoblasts]] are always scant. Diffuse [[bone]] pain, fatigue, and [[fractures]] are the most common symptoms. It can also progress to [[osteoporosis]].<ref name="pmid27746441">{{cite journal| author=Hiramatsu R, Ubara Y, Sawa N, Hasegawa E, Kawada M, Imafuku A et al.| title=Bone Histology of Two Cases with Osteomalacia Related to Low-dose Adefovir. | journal=Intern Med | year= 2016 | volume= 55 | issue= 20 | pages= 3013-3019 | pmid=27746441 | doi=10.2169/internalmedicine.55.6806 | pmc=5109571 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=27746441  }} </ref>

Overview

Osteoporosis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause a decrease in the bone mineral density (BMD), such as idiopathic transient osteoporosis of hip, osteomalacia, scurvy, osteogenesis imperfecta, multiple myeloma, homocystinuria, and hypermetabolic resorptive osteoporosis.

Differentiating Osteoporosis from other Diseases

Osteoporosis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause a decrease in the bone mineral density (BMD), such as idiopathic transient osteoporosis of hip, osteomalacia, scurvy, osteogenesis imperfecta, multiple myeloma, homocystinuria, and hypermetabolic resorptive osteoporosis. The major similarities and differences among the diseases are discussed in the following table:

Diseases History and Physical Examination Imaging findings Laboratory Findings Other Findings
Bone pain Fatigue Short stature Scoliosis Bone tenderness BMD Sub-chondral cortical loss Bone fracture Vitamin C Ca Vitamin D ALKph

Idiopathic transient osteoporosis of hip

Osteomalacia

  • Osteomalacia is the inability to mineralize the newly formed bone matrix, caused by the deficiency of vitamin D in adults.

Scurvy

Osteogenesis imperfecta

Multiple myeloma

Homocystinuria
