    Author: Ganesh R, Suresh N, Janakiraman L.
    Journal: Indian Pediatr; 2018 Oct 15; 55(10):880-882. PubMed ID: 29941696.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the bone mineral content and density in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). METHODS: 35 children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia and 35 healthy controls. Bone mineral content and density were studied by Dual Energy X-ray absorptiometry. RESULTS: The mean (SD) of lumbar spine bone mineral density (g/cm2) [0.590 (0.100) vs 0.589 (0.088) (P=0.97)], total Body less head bone mineral density (g/cm2) [0.536 (0.090) vs 0.548 (0.111) (P=0.64)], lumbar spine bone mineral content (g) [29.85 (27.63) vs 31.03 (29.19) (P=0.86)], and total body less head bone mineral content (g) [254.27 (281.25) vs 273.07 (330.71) (P=0.79)] were not different between children with CAH and controls, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Bone mineral density and content in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia are maintained in the normal range.
