Bone densitometry in inflammatory rheumatic diseases
Zeitschrift für Rheumatologie, 08/31/09
Franck H et al. – In patients with rheumatoid arthritis, measurement of peripheral bone (forearm) density in addition to lumbar spine and hip is recommended, since local bone loss is pathognomonic for this disease. Bone measurement in patients with ankylosing spondylitis can be performed in the lumbar spine and the hip at disease onset. In systemic lupus erythematosus, bone loss is more frequent in patients with high inflammatory activity. Patients with psoriasis arthritis frequently have osteoporosis in the case of a destructive development of the joints.
