description

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease are at increased risk of developing disorder in bone and mineral metabolism. The study was aimed to determine if inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a risk factor for osteoporosis in 103 adult patients. We included 103 IBD patients, 67 patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and 36 with ulcerative colitisi (UC). Bone mineral density was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. we used T score to express bone loss (osteopenia: -25SD 2 years) and active disease would be risk of bone mineral loss in IBD.
