An absolute BMD value of 3.2, i.e., a BMD of -3.2, can be diagnosed as osteoporosis, which is more serious.
BMD value is lower than the peak bone value of healthy adults <1SD is normal, the degree of reduction of peak bone value ≤ -2.5SD can be diagnosed as osteoporosis. A BMD of -3.2 SD indicates that the human skeleton is already in an osteoporotic state. Diseases that cause osteoporosis include degenerative bone disease, hypercalcemia, hyperthyroidism and so on.
1. Degenerative bone lesions: With age, degenerative bone lesions occur, calcium absorption decreases, bone is gradually loose, and fragility fracture occurs easily. As for the elderly, after fracture, it is easy to cause paralysis in bed, lose the ability to move, and in serious cases, it can be caused by infections that do not heal after the fracture is prolonged.
2. Hypercalciuria: This disease can cause excessive bone loss, thus causing osteoporosis. In addition, hypercalcemia can also cause kidney stones, causing renal colic, affecting normal work and study.
3. Hyperthyroidism: this kind of patients can have panic, excessive sweating, irritability, insomnia, tremor of limbs, etc., which seriously affects the daily life of patients.
In addition to the above diseases, many other diseases can also cause a decrease in bone density. Not only does the disease itself have a certain impact on the patient, but these diseases can cause osteoporosis, which can lead to an increase in the incidence of bone fracture.
If the above test results occur, it is recommended that regular treatment be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
