Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of long-term glucocorticoid therapy on bone mineral density(BMD) in the patients with glumerulose disease. Methods 41 patients with glumerulose disease were prospectively studied. The BMD of lumbar spine (L 2-4 ) and femur was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at base line, and at every 3 to 6 months interval after receiving glucocorticoid therapy. Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism was detected using PCR-RFLP. Results ⑴ Every measured site BMD decreased(29 9~83 8)mg/cm 2 after 15-month administration of glucocorticorids, and BMD decrease in L 2-4 and femoral trochanter was significantly greater (P
