[Secondary osteoporosis and bone quality].
In secondary osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis patients showed high bone turnover and the same cut-off value in bone mineral density as postmenopausal osteoporosis. On the other hand, Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis showed low bone turnover and the higher cut-off value compared with postmenopausal osteoporosis. Examination about secondary osteoporosis except these conditions is needed.
