Abstract:Glucocorticoids are commonly used in the treatment of nephrotic syndrome, but long-term and massive use of glucocorticoids will lead to a variety of complications, among which osteoporosis is one of the most common complications. How to take effective prevention and treatment measures to avoid or reduce hormone-induced osteoporosis is very critical. According to traditional Chinese medicine, kidney dominating bone and bone produces bone marrow, the deficiency of kidney essence, and yin-yang disharmony of kidney are the key factors of the disease. Traditional Chinese medicine can treat glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis based on syndrome differentiation by nourishing yin and clearing heat, warmly invigorating spleen and kidney, and coordinating yin and yang. In recent years, many clinical studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine has achieved remarkable effects in the prevention and treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, and some progress has been made in the experimental research to explore its related mechanism, but it is still in the stage of exploration. This article reviews the progress in the prevention and treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis by traditional Chinese medicine in recent years, in order to provide scientific theoretical basis for clinical treatment.
