Osteoporosis is an underdiagnosed and potentially devastating disease. Osteoporosis can lead to significant debility and even death in the geriatric population.

For years, oral bisphosphonates like Fosamax were the mainstay of treatment. Newer agents are available. If you have experienced a fragility fracture (hip fracture or vertebral crush fracture) or if your bone density is deteriorating, it is time you had a thorough metabolic evaluation by a bone specialist.

Advocare Endocrinology Associates of Princeton is the leader in osteoporosis care in the region.

Under normal circumstances, calcium homeostasis is controlled mainly by two hormones: 1) parathyroid hormone and 2) vitamin D.

Yes, you read that correctly. Vitamin D is a hormone. For many years the role of vitamin D in maintaining bone health was well recognized. More recently, it is thought that vitamin D sufficiency may protect against certain diseases.

Advocare Endocrinology Associates of Princeton receives a large number of consults annually for difficult cases involving disordered calcium metabolism.  Our doctors are quite skilled at identifying parathyroid adenomas with high resolution ultrasound, often eliminating the need for more costly testing that usually requires radiation exposure.
