Bone Metabolism
Q: A patient with markedly elevated ALP and normal calcium/phosphate who has an enlarged skull and thickened tibia is most likely to have which condition, and what is the feared long-term complication?
Paget's disease of bone; the feared long-term complication is osteosarcoma.
Bone Metabolism
Q: True or false: In osteomalacia, PTH levels are typically low because the problem is intrinsic to bone remodeling rather than calcium sensing.
False. PTH is typically elevated due to low calcium from poor intestinal absorption caused by vitamin D deficiency.
Bone Metabolism
Q: What is the most likely diagnosis for a 68-year-old with a wrist fracture and a DEXA T-score of -2.8 with normal labs?
Osteoporosis, since the T-score is below -2.5 and labs are normal, consistent with a fragile skeleton due to decreased bone mass.
Lipids - Part 2
Q: What role do statins play in lipid management?
Statins inhibit cholesterol synthesis and help lower LDL levels effectively, reducing risks associated with cholesterol-related diseases.

Q: What are the four types of familial dyslipidemias?
