This article is focused on endocrine-mediated osteoporosis caused by growth hormone (GH) disorders; adult GH deficiency and acromegaly. GH and insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) stimulate linear bone growth through complex hormonal interactions and activates epiphyseal prechondrocytes. GH, via receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB (RANK), its ligand (RANK-L), and the osteoprotegerin system, stimulates production of osteoprotegerin and its accumulation in bone matrix. Malfunction of this mechanism, could lead to specific bone impairment. However, the primary problem of bone disease in GH secretion disorders is the primary prevention of osteoporotic fractures, so it is important to determine bone quality that better reflects the patient's actual predisposition to fracture. A method estimating bone quality from lumbar spine dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans is trabecular bone score (TBS). TBS in addition to bone mineral density (BMD) is a promising predictor of the osteoporotic fracture risk in women with postmenopausal osteopenia. In acromegaly TBS better defines risk of fracture because BMD is normal or even increased. TBS helps to monitor the effect of growth hormone therapy. Despite these findings, TBS should not be used alone, but a comprehensive consideration of all fracture risk factors, BMD and bone turnover markers is necessary.
