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 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 کاملBone metabolism during methylprednisolone pulse therapy in rheumatoid arthritis.
The deleterious effects of corticosteroids (CS) on bone are well known, but probably differ depending on duration and dosage of CS therapy. Presently huge amounts of CS are given over a short period of time in different rheumatic conditions. Not much is known about the effect of this kind of CS treatment on bone metabolism. Twenty patients with persistently active rheumatoid arthritis were trea...
متن کاملBone metabolism in rheumatoid arthritis compared with postmenopausal osteoporosis.
Calcium and bone metabolism in 29 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients were compared with those in 27 postmenopausal osteoporotic patients. Signs of vitamin D deficiency were found in 20 RA patients, including 12 who took recommended amounts of vitamin D in their diets and were exposed to sufficient sunlight, and in none of the osteoporotic patients. There were no signs of malabsorption. In six o...
