AbstractBone mineral density (BMD) is a major diagnostic marker for bone health. A 44-year-old male had BMD of 0.81 g/cm2 (Z-score: −3.1) in lumbar spine scan and 0.54 g/cm2 (Z-score: −2.7) for femoral neck from regular medical checkup in Apr 2020. He had no other specific medical conditions except hyperlipidemia and alcohol was a single risk factor for fracture according to Fracture Risk Assessment Tool. After he was diagnosed with liver-kidney deficiency and treated for 20 weeks with Jeopgol-tang originally patented for promoting fracture recovery, lumbar spine BMD increased by 13.6 % (0.92 g/cm2, Z-score: −2.1) and femoral neck BMD by 22.2% (0.66 g/cm2, Z-score: −1.8) compared with those of Mar 2020. Herbal medicine treatment for tonifying liver and kidney to improve BMD warrants further investigation.
