What effects do steroids have on bone?
Long-term treatment with steroid creams does not carry the same risks of steroid-induced osteoporosis. However, long-term use of high doses of inhaled steroids may possibly also increase your risk of developing steroid-induced osteoporosis. Lower doses of inhaled steroids do not seem to increase the risk in the same way.
Osteoporosis is a result of imbalances between new bone formation and old bone resorption. In bone resorption, osteoclasts break down bone tissues and release certain minerals that transfer calcium from bone to blood. With osteoporosis, the body may fail to form new bone or too much of the old bone is absorbed.
What are the steps to an osteoporosis diagnosis?
4 Drug-induced osteoporosis.

Topical corticosteroids misuse leads to psychological problems. These problems lie at opposite ends of a spectrum causing both addiction and phobia. Addiction results in psychological distress and rebound phenomenon on stoppage of the drug. Phobia occurs particularly among parents of atopic children.
A drug-induced, or toxic, myopathy is defined as the acute or subacute manifestation of myopathic symptoms such as muscle weakness, myalgia, creatine kinase elevation, or myoglobinuria that can occur in patients without muscle disease when they are exposed to certain drugs.
Steroid myopathy is usually an insidious disease process that causes weakness mainly to the proximal muscles of the upper and lower limbs and to the neck flexors. Cushing originally described it in 1932, and Muller and Kugelberg first studied it systemically in 1959.
ICD-10 code G72. 0 for Drug-induced myopathy is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .

Osteoporosis without current pathological fracture. If the patient does not have current pathological fracture, you should select a code from the M81 series (even if the patient had pathological fracture in the past). A sixth digit indicates laterality. For example:
Risk factors for osteoporosis are aging, hypocalcemia, vitamin D deficiency, and osteomalacia. Osteoporosis is an asymptomatic unless complications (e.g., fracture) occur. Loss of bone mass leads to loss of bone strength, such that even a trivial trauma may be severe enough to cause a fracture.
Other osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, which includes: The M80 series of codes is appropriate for either age-related osteoporosis or other osteoporosis, with current pathological frac ture.
Causes may include senility (old age), inadequate intake of calcium and vitamin D, and protein deficiency.
Osteoporosis also may be related to endocrinal conditions, such as Cushing syndrome, hyperthyroid state, thyrotoxicosis, and diabetes mellitus. Finally, osteoporosis may be drug induced, for instance as a result of long-term steroid therapy.
