Effects of hyperprolactinemia on osteoporotic fracture in premenopausal women

Abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate the osteoporotic fracture risk in premenopausal women with hyperprolactinemia due to prolactinoma. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured in 20 white, premenopausal women with prolactinoma and in 60 healthy control white women, using quantitative ultrasound (QUS) at the os calcis, with an Achilles Lunar Plus device. We measured all three parameters of QUS: broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA), speed of sound (SOS) and stiffness. BMD results were expressed also as T- and … Show more

“…Elevated risk for glucose dysregulation, weight gain and new onset diabetes has been observed with the use of antipsychotic and antidepressants medications [46-48]. Both typical and atypical antipsychotic medications are known to induce hyperprolactinemia [49] which leads to bone loss, a major risk factor for osteoporosis [50]. We tested this by additionally including psychotropic medication use in the complementary log-log regression models.…”

“…Studies in patients with hyperprolactinaemia secondary to prolactinomas have found high rates of osteopenia and osteoporosis (Vartej et al , ; Colao et al , ; Kayath et al , ). Prolactin regulates the secretion of gonadotrophins and hence influences the levels of the gonadal hormones oestradiol and testosterone.…”

“…Hypogonadism assessment showed that six out of ten patients with craniopharyngioma were accompanied with hypogonadism. Vartej et al found that the document of fracture history and conventional roentgenograms indicated that hypogonadism was associated with significant bone loss [13]. Another possibility is insufficient sex steroid supplementation.…”
