Difference between Glucocorticoid and Steroid-induced osteoporosis

Glucocorticoid vs. Steroid-induced osteoporosis

Glucocorticoids are a class of corticosteroids, which are a class of steroid hormones. Steroid-induced osteoporosis (SIOP) is osteoporosis arising due to use of glucocorticoids (steroid hormones) - analogous to Cushing's syndrome and involving mainly the axial skeleton.

Similarities between Glucocorticoid and Steroid-induced osteoporosis

Glucocorticoid and Steroid-induced osteoporosis have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cushing's syndrome, Osteoporosis, Prednisone, Sex steroid.

Cushing's syndrome
