OVERVIEW

Metabolic and Endocrine Disorders is organized by JCA Medical Seminars and will be held on Nov 03, 2025.

Course Overview:

Explore the intricate relationship between metabolic and endocrine disorders and their effects on bone health. Participants will learn about a range of conditions such as osteoporosis, rickets, parathyroid and thyroid disorders, and how these affect bone density, structure, and function.

Key highlights:

Designed for healthcare professionals and students, this course aims to provide a detailed understanding of the mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment strategies for managing bone diseases linked to metabolic and hormonal imbalances.

What you will learn:

Osteoporosis, Rickets, and Osteomalacia: Gain a thorough understanding of these bone metabolic diseases, including the hormonal and nutritional factors that contribute to weakened bones and abnormal bone mineralisation.
Parathyroid Disorders & Renal Osteodystrophy: Learn how parathyroid hormone dysregulation and chronic kidney disease result in imbalances in calcium and phosphate, leading to bone resorption and altered bone metabolism.
Pituitary and Thyroid Disorders: Explore how excessive or insufficient production of thyroid and pituitary hormones disrupts bone turnover, leading to conditions such as hyperthyroidism-related bone loss and acromegaly-related overgrowth.
Paget Disease of Bone: Understand the abnormal bone remodelling in Paget disease, which causes bone to become misshapen and structurally weak due to accelerated turnover.
Bone Health in Diabetes Mellitus: Discover how diabetes mellitus affects bone metabolism and increases the risk of fractures due to chronic hyperglycaemia and other metabolic disturbances.
Pregnancy and Adrenal Disorders: Study the metabolic changes during pregnancy and adrenal dysfunctions that influence bone density, particularly in the context of hormonal shifts and nutrient demands on the body.
