Cystic Disease of Bone

Cystic Fibrosis Related Bone Disease

22 Context: Young adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) are at risk for low bone density and fractures, but the 23 underlying alterations in bone microarchitecture that may contribute to their increased fracture risk are 24 currently unknown. 25 Objective: The main goal of this study was to utilize high resolution peripheral quantitative computed 26 tomography (HR-pQCT) to characterize the bone micr...

Celiac Disease in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis-Related Bone Disease

Both cystic fibrosis (CF) and celiac disease can cause low bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures. Celiac disease may occur at a higher frequency in patients with CF than the general population, and symptoms of these conditions may overlap. We report on two patients presenting with CF-related bone disease in the past year who were subsequently found to have concurrent celiac disease. Because ...
