Intravenous 3-amino-1-hydroxypropylidene-1, 1-bisphosphonic acid (APD) was used to treat 26 patients with Paget's disease. Three daily dosages were studied; 20-30 mg/day in 20 patients, 45 mg/day in three patients and 60 mg/day in three patients, by daily 4-hour infusions for 2-10 days. The fasting urinary hydroxyproline excretion (HypE) declined exponentially, reaching 50% of pretreatment values at 1.92 +/- 0.16 (mean +/- SEM) days. This initial rapid decline was complete by 4 days following treatment to a mean of 28.0 +/- 3.4% of pretreatment values. Thereafter, there was no significant decline in HypE. The initial rate of decline of HypE was unchanged by increasing the daily dose of APD. Transient non-symptomatic hypocalcaemia with secondary hyperparathyroidism occurred in all patients. No adverse changes in the renal handling of calcium or phosphate, as seen with high-dose 1-hydroxyethylidene-1, 1-bisphosphonate (EHDP), were seen in any patient on any daily dose. Fever occurred in 73% of patients in the first 2 days of treatment. Overall, there was a significant fall in the lymphocyte count (P less than 0.005 febrile group, n = 19; P less than 0.02 non-febrile group, n = 7) and a fever-dependent rise in the neutrophil count (P less than 0.005 febrile group only). The occurrence of fever was associated with a more rapid decline in HypE, compared to the non-febrile group, so that HypE was significantly lower in the febrile group by day 5 (P less than 0.025). Seventy-two per cent of patients with bone and/or joint pain reported a reduction in pain.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

D010001 Osteitis Deformans A disease marked by repeated episodes of increased bone resorption followed by excessive attempts at repair, resulting in weakened, deformed bones of increased mass. The resultant architecture of the bone assumes a mosaic pattern in which the fibers take on a haphazard pattern instead of the normal parallel symmetry.

D004164 Diphosphonates Organic compounds which contain P-C-P bonds, where P stands for phosphonates or phosphonic acids. These compounds affect calcium metabolism. They inhibit ectopic calcification and slow down bone resorption and bone turnover. Technetium complexes of diphosphonates have been used successfully as bone scanning agents.
