IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 16064: Hypocalcemia Is a Common Risk Factor for Osteoporosis in Taiwanese Patients with Cushing & rsquo;s Syndrome

Conclusions: Our study found that lower serum calcium levels were common among patients with CS and osteoporosis. Furthermore, CS patients with HF or stroke had high proportion of hypocalcemia. Therefore, these patients must pay more attention to adequate calcium supplementation and undergo the appropriate osteoporosis drug treatment to reduce the risk of subsequent fracture and disability.
