Severity of liver disease does not predict osteopenia or low bone mineral density in primary sclerosing cholangitis

Open access

Abstract

Background: The association between metabolic bone disease and cholestatic liver disease has been poorly characterized. To date a single institution has published data suggesting that in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), advanced liver disease predicts advanced bone disease. Aim: To determine the association between the severity of liver disease and bone mineral density (BMD) in PSC patients. Methods: We identified 30 PSC patients who had undergone dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan. We compared lumbar spine DXA scores between patients with more and less advanced liver disease. Results: Nine patients were osteopenic (30%), and one patient was osteoporotic. Five patients were female (17%), and none was postmenopausal. BMD was not different between patients listed and not listed for liver transplantation (P=0.49) or between patients with and without hepatic decompensation (P=0.63). Model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score (P=0.99) and the modified Mayo risk score (P=0.25) did not predict BMD. Conclusions: Our study is the first to suggest that low bone density cannot be predicted by the severity of liver disease in PSC. Perhaps other known risk factors for osteoporosis will be important predictors of abnormal bone density in this patient population.

  • Stage of liver disease does not appear to be a major risk factor for osteoporosis in PSC.

    “Stage of liver disease does not appear to be a major risk factor, 140,142 underlining the need to search for bone disease even in early-stage disease.”

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.
