  • Title: Skeletal demineralization and growth retardation in inflammatory bowel disease.
    Author: Genant HK, Mall JC, Wagonfeld JB, Horst JV, Lanzi LH.
    Journal: Invest Radiol; 1976; 11(6):541-9. PubMed ID: 1002408.
    Abstract:
    Skeletal growth and mineralization in 54 adolescent and adult patients with inflammatory bowel disease have been analyzed comprehensively. Quantitative and qualitative radiologic techniques consisted of conventional roentgenography, photon absorptiometry, and radiographic morphometry. The data are correlated with the type, duration, and severity of disease, and with several modes of therapy. The results indicate the osteopenia and retardation of growth are common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, particularly in adolescents, in whom the effects of corticosteroids on the skeleton are most deleterious.
