Eating hormone causes femoral head necrosis and can’t recover, so prevent in advance
Hormone, here refers to glucocorticoids commonly used in patients with
nephropathy, such as prednisone, which has remarkable effects and significant
side effects. Femoral head necrosis is a very serious side effect of hormone.
Most of the side effects of femoral head necrosis are caused by discontinuation
of the drug, but the femoral head necrosis does not.
What’s worse, the femoral head necrosis is not symptomatic in its early stages.
How to find the femoral head necrosis in advance?
Clinically, femoral head necrosis occurs at the first 5 months of the use of hormones. The detection method is nuclear magnetic resonance. In routine examinations after diagnosis, CT or x-rays are more appropriate than magnetic resonance imaging.
If no femoral head necrosis occurs within 3 years, the probability of future
occurrence will decrease.
For the following crowd, the risk of femoral head necrosis is higher:
The hormone dose is greater than 40mg and the risk is very high;
Patients with lupus erythematosus are more likely to suffer from femoral head necrosis;
Adults are at greater risk than children;
Men are more at risk than women.
Therefore, the kidney patients should reduce the use of hormone.
