Osteoporosis Risk, Sarcoidosis
Conditions
Brief summary
To assess the frequency and risk factors of decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and vertebral fractures in Danish patients with sarcoidosis.
Detailed description
An increased risk of bone fracture has been found in patients with sarcoidosis. Some data showed that the risk of fracture was limited to patients treated with glucocorticoid but data are conflicting and not all studies can prove an increased risk of fracture or bone mineral loss in sarcoidosis.
