Bone disease in the inflammatory bowel disease population.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bone disease, an under-diagnosed manifestation of Inflammatory Bowel Disease IBD, warrants special consideration. Osteoporosis/osteopenia commonly affects 30-50% of IBD patients. The quiescent nature of this disease makes it extremely challenging to diagnose and treat. Patients with osteoporosis and osteopenia are asymptomatic unless they suffer a fracture. In the past, bone health has been overlooked due to the other pressing issues and complications that arise in this population. However, screening, preventive efforts and active treatment are essential. Because bone disease can significantly reduce health and quality of life, clinicians should be aware of bone disease in all patients with IBD.
