Assessment of bone and mineral metabolism in inflammatory bowel disease: case series and review
BP Sinnott, AA Licata - Endocrine Practice, 2006 - Elsevier
Objective To determine the prevalence of low bone mass, fractures, and vitamin D deficiency
and the levels of biochemical markers of mineral metabolism in patients with inflammatory
bowel disease (IBD). Methods Our retrospective study consisted of 30 patients with Crohn's
disease (CD) and 18 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry
was performed to determine bone mineral density at the lumbar spine and hip. Serum
calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD), and 1, 25 …
