Comparing bone mineral density in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis
Background: Changes in patients’ bone mineral density (BMD) is one of the problems in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, which can be due to the use of corticosteroid drugs to reduce patients' symptoms or due to the aging process in patients. In this study, we decided to compare BMD in patients with psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: This study as a cross-sectional descrip...
متن کاملBone metabolism in rheumatoid arthritis
In active RA, bone resorption is increased and bone formation is normal or reduced in comparison to healthy controls. This uncoupling of bone formation and resorption with a negative remodelling balance leads to generalized bone loss. The pathogenesis of this altered bone metabolism is multifactorial, involving non-disease-specific factors (such as age, female sex and postmenopausal status) and...
متن کاملBone Remodelling Markers in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Bone loss in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients results from chronic inflammation and can lead to osteoporosis and fractures. A few bone remodeling markers have been studied in RA witnessing bone formation (osteocalcin), serum aminoterminal propeptide of type I collagen (PINP), serum carboxyterminal propeptide of type I collagen (ICTP), bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), osteocalcin (OC), and bon...
متن کاملbone densitometry in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
osteoporosis (op) is a frequent complication of rheumatoid arthritis (ra) and longitudinal studies have documented increased rate of bone loss in ra patients. to determine the frequency of low bone mass as well as the influence of disease duration and corticosteroid use on bone mass in patients with ra, 88 patients with ra and 112 age matched controls were studied. bone densitometry was perform...
متن کاملThe effect of methotrexate on bone metabolism markers in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence on urinary excretion levels of N-telopeptide of type I collagen (NTX) and deoxypyridinoline (DPD) as a useful marker for bone resorption, and on serum-bone alkaline phosphate (BAP) levels as a useful marker for bone formation and an early marker of osteoblast differentiation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with methot...
