Chronic liver diseases (CLD) leads to an imbalance of bone remodeling, bone mass decrease with the development of hepatic osteodystrophy, which is most often seen in osteoporosis. In the development of structural and functional deficiency of bone plays an important role of calcium–phosphorus homeostasis and coherence calcium-regulating hormones (CRH), which include parathyroid hormone (PTH) and active metabolites of vitamin D.The aim of this study w...

The problem of early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis remains an important area of research in rheumatology. We investigated changes in bone metabolism, bone mineral density in early rheumatoid arthritis (ERA; up to 12 months). Data were compared with changes in the MRI study of the dominant hand.We observed 24 patients with ERA, the average age – 33.6±5.7 years. The men were 6 (25%), women – 18 (75%). Bone mineral density (BMD) was deter...
