This case report describes a remarkable improvement in bone mineral density (BMD) in a 95-year-old female with parathyroid hormone (PTH)-mediated hypercalcemia following treatment with zoledronic acid. Despite her complex medical history, including chronic kidney disease (CKD) and osteoporosis, the patient experienced a significant increase in bone density, particularly in the left femoral neck, while maintaining stable renal function. This case highlights the efficacy and safety of zoledronic acid in elderly patients with osteoporosis and hypercalcemia, emphasizing the importance of careful monitoring to prevent renal complications. These findings offer valuable insights into the use of bisphosphonates in older populations with additional comorbidities.
本病例报告描述了一名95岁患有甲状旁腺激素(PTH)介导的高钙血症的女性患者,在接受唑来膦酸治疗后骨矿物质密度(BMD)有显著改善。尽管该患者有复杂的病史,包括慢性肾脏病(CKD)和骨质疏松症,但她的骨密度显著增加,尤其是左股骨颈,同时肾功能保持稳定。本病例突出了唑来膦酸在老年骨质疏松症和高钙血症患者中的疗效和安全性,强调了仔细监测以预防肾脏并发症的重要性。这些发现为在有其他合并症的老年人群中使用双膦酸盐提供了有价值的见解。
