肠病患者发生骨质疏松曾有报道。作者最近使用定量CT 术在一批未经选择的炎症性肠病患者中发现脊柱骨质疏松症普遍增多。为了解这类病骨损失率和认识有关骨质疏松的危险因素,本文对1年中54例炎症性肠病患者脊椎骨小梁损失率进行测定。测量方法:54例(22～78岁,平均47岁)患者中男性21例,女性38例。54例中27例患小肠疾病(克隆氏病26,类癌1),21例患大肠疾病(溃疡性结肠炎19,克隆氏病2),另6例克隆氏病同时累及大肠及小肠。从开始到第二次检测的1年中,54例患者中29例接受泼尼松龙治疗。人体质量指数以体重/(身高)~2计算。用 Osteoporosis has been reported in patients with enteropathy. The authors recently used quantitative CT to detect a general increase in spine osteoporosis in a population of patients with unselected inflammatory bowel disease. In order to understand the loss rate of these diseases and to know the risk factors related to osteoporosis, 54 cases of inflammatory bowel disease in one year were measured in trabecular bone loss rate. Measurements: Among 54 patients (22-78 years old, average 47 years old), 21 were male and 38 were female. Of the 54 patients, 27 had small bowel disease (26 Crohn’s disease, 1 carcinoid), 21 had colorectal disease (19 with ulcerative colitis, 2 with Crohn’s disease), and 6 had Crohn’s disease involving both the large and small intestine. From the beginning to the second test in 1 year, 54 of 54 patients received prednisolone treatment. The body mass index is calculated as body weight / (height) ~ 2. use
