Abstract
Background: Osteoporosis is the most prevalent bone endocrine disorder in older adults with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Secondary causes in men represent between 50 to 80% of cases. In the initial approach, the study of calcium metabolism is important.
Purpose: To present the case report of a patient with secondary osteoporosis and normocalcemia associated with significant hypercalciuria.
Case presentation: 55-year-old male patient, with a history of nephrolithiasis, who consulted for low back pain, and in whom vertebral fractures due to fragility at the thoracic and lumbar level were documented. A diagnosis of severe osteoporosis was made and bone densitometry suggested a secondary cause, ultimately confirming the presence of multiple myeloma.
Discussion and conclusion: Osteoporosis must be considered in fragility fractures scenario. in males, almost 80% of cases have a secondary cause. Hypercalciuria is a rare disorder that should always be characterized. Extreme high values of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) ??always have pathological significance, especially in relation to diseases that generate a high inflammatory load.
