M82.1: Osteoporosis in endocrine disorders
Osteoporosis in endocrine disorders (M82.1) is a medical condition commonly associated with abnormalities in the body's hormone-producing glands, also known as the endocrine system. This kind of osteoporosis, which is characterized by weakened and brittle bones, is typically triggered by various hormonal disorders such as hyperthyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, or diabetes. The body's hormonal imbalances caused by these endocrine disorders often lead to accelerated bone loss, making the bones more porous, fragile, and susceptible to fractures. Common symptoms might not be immediately evident until a fracture occurs, but they can include back pain, loss of height over time, or a stooped posture. As the disease progresses, even simple activities such as lifting a bag or bending over can lead to a broken bone.
