10. A 55-year-old woman presented to the hospital with complaints of muscle weakness, fatigue, night cramps, pain in the lumbar region. When fluoroscopy revealed a decrease in bone density, a violation of bone structure. The patient was diagnosed with osteoporosis («porous bones»). Osteoporosis is a common cause of fractures of the spine, femur and forearm bones. The doctor prescribed treatment with calcitriol and calcium supplements. Calcitriol receptors exist in two allelic variants B and b. Studies have shown that dominant homozygotes BB are more susceptible to osteoporosis and this patient has this genotype. What are the other causes of osteoporosis and what is the mechanism of the therapeutic effect of calcitriol? For answer. d) name the main causes of osteoporosis; e) explain why the use of calcitriol and calcium preparations condition of patients with osteoporosis. roves the
