One of the complications of ulcerative colitis with frequent relapses is mineral deficiency (potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus). The objective of the present work is to examine the bone density and laboratory parameters of bone metabolism in 25 patients with a medium severe and severe form of ulcerative colitis. In patients with ulcerative colitis a significantly reduced bone density was found in the era of neck of the femur (p < 0.05), a a non-significantly reduction of the bone density in the era of the lumbar vertebrae and an elevated level of osteocalcin (p < 0.05). These findings indicate a higher prevalence of bone changes in patients with ulcerative colitis. Early detection of bone changes makes adequate prevention and treatment of bone complications possible.

D015519 Bone Density The amount of mineral per square centimeter of BONE. This is the definition used in clinical practice. Actual bone density would be expressed in grams per milliliter. It is most frequently measured by X-RAY ABSORPTIOMETRY or TOMOGRAPHY, X RAY COMPUTED. Bone density is an important predictor for OSTEOPOROSIS.

D015675 Osteocalcin Vitamin K-dependent calcium-binding protein synthesized by OSTEOBLASTS and found primarily in BONES. Serum osteocalcin measurements provide a noninvasive specific marker of bone metabolism. The protein contains three residues of the amino acid gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla), which, in the presence of CALCIUM, promotes binding to HYDROXYAPATITE and subsequent accumulation in BONE MATRIX.
