Hypercalcemia as a marker of decreased bone mineral density in patients with peptic ulcer disease

Purpose of the study. To study calcium-phosphorus metabolism in patients with peptic ulcer (PU) comparison bone mineral density (BMD), its age and gender aspects. Materials methods. 216 people were remission 154 without history erosive-ulcerative changes during fibrogastroduodenoscopy (FGDS) examined. All underwent clinical endoscopic studies, dichromatic X-ray densitometry calculation T-test femoral neck (FN) lumbar spine (LS). Calcium blood phosphorus have been studied. Results. In PU compared this pathology there was a significant decrease BMD. 32% osteoporosis (OP) diagnosed 34% - osteopenia. group persons who had no found 18%, osteopenia 26% cases. both groups women prevailed. Blood calcium significantly higher as to those examined an history. A increase observed individuals comorbid course OP. Conclusion. The data obtained show that can serve simple criterion for diagnosing disorders BMD and, if values are high, conduct more detailed examination early detection OP possibility treatment.
