Glucocorticoids (steroids) Vertebral Fractures

Factor That Affects The Risk of Vertebral Fractures. A study by Dr. Shunichi Kumagai of Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine suggests a link between treatment with high-dose glucocorticoids (steroids) for autoimmune diseases and the occurrence of ‘vertebral fractures’ in premenopausal women that is independent of bone mineral density (BMD).

Fracture was also found to be more common in women with elevated total cholesterol levels. In fact, women with high total cholesterol were found to have lower BMD than women with normal cholesterol levels. The researchers concluded that BMD is “not the only factor that affects the risk of ‘vertebral fractures’.”

The law firm worked with me on a victim compensation fund. Christina Morace was the paralegal and through the long process she called me to keep me up to date. She let me know what paperwork was coming and what it meant. She also called to explain the time table for each part. I did not have to wonder about what was happening. I really appreciate her work and the others at Parker Waichman.
