ASSESSMENT OF BONE MINERALIZATION AND BONE METABOLISM IN CHILDREN WITH INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE

Abstract

Objectives: The aim of our study was to evaluate bone mineralization and metabolism in children with Crohn’s Disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Material and methods: 113 patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (2-17 years) and 40 healthy children were included in the present study. We assessed markers of IBD activity. Bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar spine (DEXA), serum osteocalcin (OC), C-terminal telopeptides (CTT), parathyroid hormone (PTH), serum calcium, alkaline phosphatase and 25 (OH) vitamin D were measured. Results: BMD in patients with CD and UC were lower than in control group (Zscore -1,4 SD, -1,3 SD and 0,31 SD, p=0,00001, respectively). Differences in level of PTH (39,4 pg/ml, 41,7 pg/ml и 24,8 pg/ml, p=0,04), and CTT (1,09 pg/ml, 1,08 pg/ml, 0,84 ng/ml, p=0,03) between CD, UC and healthy patients respectively have been found. There were no differences in serum OC between groups. Positive correlation between BMD and albumin, OC concentration and linear growth have been detected. IBD activity and duration, cumulative steroid dose were negatively associated with BMD. Vitamin D deficiency was observed in 98 % and 94,1 % of children with CD and UC respectively. Conclusions: patients IBD have low bone mineral density with increased bone resorption due to systemic inflammation, steroids side effect, vitamin D and calcium deficiency.
