Abstract
Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is one of the most serious adverse effects of glucocorticoids. Despite guidelines on the management of GIOP, effective medications and fracture outpatient clinics, this condition remains under-recognized and under-treated. This review covers recent insights into mechanisms involved in GIOP, monitoring for adverse effects of glucocorticoids on bone and prevention and treatment of GIOP. Recent guidelines on GIOP are discussed and a research agenda is proposed.
