Study of bone mineral density in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
INTRODUCTION Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is an inflammatory rheumatic disease characterized by spine and sacroiliac joint involvement that mainly affects young male subjects. Bone Mineral Density (BMD) loss occurs in AS disease course. Bone loss in AS appears to be multifactorial and perhaps involves different mechanisms at different stages of disease. The disease typically affects young males ...
متن کاملBone microarchitecture in ankylosing spondylitis and the association with bone mineral density, fractures, and syndesmophytes
INTRODUCTION Osteoporosis of the axial skeleton is a known complication of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), but bone loss affecting the peripheral skeleton is less studied. This study on volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and bone microarchitecture in AS was conducted to compare peripheral vBMD in AS patients with that in healthy controls, to study vBMD in axial compared with peripheral bone, a...
متن کاملBone and Cartilage Turnover Markers, Bone Mineral Density, and Radiographic Damage in Men with Ankylosing Spondylitis
PURPOSE To determine the levels of bone and cartilage turnover markers in men with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and to investigate their associations with disease activity, bone mineral density, and radiographic damage of the spine. PATIENTS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study enrolled 35 men with newly diagnosed AS. The bone mineral densities (BMD) of their lumbar spines and proximal femur...
متن کاملBone mineral density in ankylosing spondylitis. DEXA comparison of control subjects with mild and advanced cases.
We have used dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry to measure bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis comparing 41 healthy control subjects and 33 patients with either mild or advanced ankylosing spondylitis. A Norland XR-28 bone densitometer was used to measure the BMD of the lumbar spine and that of the head, trunk, arms, femoral neck, Ward's triangle, legs, pelvis, and ...
متن کاملThe prevalence of vertebral fractures in mild ankylosing spondylitis and their relationship to bone mineral density.
OBJECTIVE To determine bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with mild ankylosing spondylitis (AS), to establish the prevalence of vertebral fractures and fracture risk in these patients, and to determine the relationship between BMD and vertebral fractures. METHODS Sixty-six men with mild AS were studied. BMD of the lumbar spine and femoral neck was measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DX...
