Bone and calcium care
Evaluation of calcium, parathyroid, osteoporosis and metabolic bone disorders.
Hyderabad, with weekly clinics in Shadnagar and Mahabubnagar
Bone health is part of endocrinology
Calcium and bone disorders often have hormonal or metabolic causes. Assessment may involve calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone, vitamin D, kidney function, medicines and bone density, interpreted together.
What Dr. Santosha treats
Endocrine and metabolic disorders that affect bone and calcium balance.
Osteoporosis
Managing low bone density and fracture risk, including checks for secondary causes.
Low bone density
When the cause or significance of reduced bone density is unclear.
High calcium
Evaluation of hypercalcaemia and causes such as hyperparathyroidism.
Low calcium
Assessment of hypocalcaemia and disorders of calcium regulation.
Parathyroid disorders
Abnormal parathyroid hormone and calcium regulation.
Recurrent kidney stones
When stones may be linked to calcium or parathyroid disorders.
Vitamin D problems
Interpreting and treating vitamin D abnormalities in context.
Metabolic bone disorders
Selected endocrine and metabolic conditions affecting bone.
Signs it's time to see a specialist
Consider a consultation when calcium or bone tests are abnormal, or fractures or stones need explaining.
High calcium
Blood calcium is repeatedly raised or unexplained.
Low calcium
Hypocalcaemia needs its underlying cause found.
Abnormal parathyroid hormone
PTH is abnormal or does not fit the calcium result.
Osteoporosis or a fragility fracture
Bone density is reduced or a bone broke from a minor fall.
Recurrent kidney stones
Repeated stones raise concern for a calcium or parathyroid disorder.
Unexplained bone loss
Bone loss or fractures without an obvious explanation.
Why see an endocrinologist for bone and calcium problems?
Calcium, parathyroid and metabolic bone disorders are core areas of endocrine medicine.
An endocrinologist looks for hormonal causes of abnormal calcium and bone loss, and coordinates with other specialists when needed.
Assessment is tailored to your fracture risk, test results and medical history.
