Low Bone Turnover and Low BMD in Down Syndrome: Effect of Intermittent PTH Treatment
Trisomy 21 affects virtually every organ system and results in the complex clinical presentation of Down syndrome (DS). Patterns of differences are now being recognized as patients' age and these patterns bring about new opportunities for disease prevention and treatment. Low bone mineral density (BMD) has been reported in many studies of males and females with DS yet the specific effects of tr...
متن کاملLow Bone Mineral Density and Associated Factors in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis: A Cross-Sectional Study
Background: Failure to maintain bone mass density is a major complication in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). This study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) and also identifying associated risk factors in CF patients. Materials and Methods: Present study conducted on 59 CF patients aged 5-35 years referred to respiratory clinic of Masih Daneshvari Hospi...
متن کاملDecreased Bone Mineral Density in Adults Born with Very Low Birth Weight: A Cohort Study
BACKGROUND Very-low-birth-weight (VLBW, <1,500 g) infants have compromised bone mass accrual during childhood, but it is unclear whether this results in subnormal peak bone mass and increased risk of impaired skeletal health in adulthood. We hypothesized that VLBW is associated with reduced bone mineral density (BMD) in adulthood. METHODS AND FINDINGS The Helsinki Study of Very Low Birth Weig...
متن کاملLow bone mineral density in adults with cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Patients with cystic fibrosis have several risk factors for the development of low bone mineral density (BMD). To identify the prevalence and clinical correlates of low BMD in adult patients with cystic fibrosis, densitometry was performed in 151 patients (83 men) aged 15-52 years. METHODS BMD was measured in the lumbar spine (L1-4) using dual energy x ray absorptiometry (DXA) and ...
متن کاملBone Mineral Density in Children with Relapsing Nephrotic Syndrome
AbstractBackground: Given the high relapse rate of disease in children with steroid dependent nephrotic syndrome and the osteoporotic effect of long periods of steroid therapy, this survey was performed to find the bone mineral status of these patients. Methods: Bone mineral density and content (BMD and BMC) were measured using Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry in 37 nephrotic children, six girl...
