Summary. The importance of osteoporosis as a complication of end-stage liver disease is well known. However, significant osteopenia may occur in earlier stages of chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Furthermore, antiviral therapy may influence bone metabolism. Thirty patients with CHC genotype 1 infection and without established cirrhosis were treated with peginterferon-alfa...

Knowing means simplifying: gluten-free diet alone is enough to cure the bones of pediatric patients with celiac disease

Individuals affected by celiac disease (gluten intolerance) often present an altered calcium (Ca2+) metabolism that can cause osteopenia, a bone mass decrease due to the impaired adsorption of this mineral, which can lead to osteoporosis (in 35-85% of the cases). (Source: News-Medical News Feed)

Abstract Summary We examined the contributions of femoral neck cortical and trabecular bone to proximal femur failure load. We found that trabecular bone mineral density explained a significant proportion of variance in failure load after accounting for total bone size and cortical bone mineral content or cortical area.

Abstract Summary In 87 patients with hereditary hemochromatosis, osteoporosis was detected in 25%, and osteopenia in 41%. Bone mineral density was independently associated with BMI, ALP levels, hypogonadism/menopause, and the amount of iron removed to reach depletion, but not with cirrhosis. Osteoporosis is influenced by iron overload in hemochromatosis. Introduction To analyze...
