Long-term, high-dose glucocorticoids and bone mineral content in childhood glucocorticoid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: Glucocorticoids suppress bone formation, impair growth, and induce obesity. We determined the effects of long-term treatment with glucocorticoids on bone mineral content in children with glucocorticoid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome, a disorder with minimal known independent effects on bone. METHODS: We performed dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry of the whole body and spine in 60 children and adolescents with the nephrotic syndrome and 195 control subjects. We used linear regression analysis of log-transformed values to compare the bone mineral content in patients with that in controls. RESULTS: Patients had received an average of 23,000 mg of glucocorticoids and were shorter (P=0.008) and had a greater body-mass index (P<0.001) than controls. The bone mineral content of the spine, adjusted for bone area, age, sex, degree of maturation (Tanner stage), and race, did not differ significantly between patients and controls (ratio, 0.99; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.96 to 1.02; P=0.51). After adjustment for the z score for body-mass index, the bone mineral content of the spine was significantly lower in patients than in controls (0.96; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.92 to 0.99; P=0.01). Whole-body bone mineral content, adjusted for height, age, sex, degree of maturation, and race, was significantly higher in patients than in controls (ratio, 1.11; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.05 to 1.18; P<0.001); however, the addition of the z score for body-mass index to the model eliminated the association with the nephrotic syndrome (ratio, 0.99; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.94 to 1.03; P=0.55). CONCLUSIONS: Intermittent treatment with high-dose glucocorticoids during growth does not appear to be associated with deficits in the bone mineral content of the spine or whole body relative to age, bone size, sex, and degree of maturation. Glucocorticoid-induced increases in body-mass index were associated with increased whole-body bone mineral content and maintenance of the bone mineral content of the spine.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
