Bone mineral density in patients with urolithiasis. A preliminary report

Bone mineral density in patients with urolithiasis. A preliminary report

E M Alhava et al. Scand J Urol Nephrol. 1976.

Abstract

The bone mineral density (g/cm3) of the distal cancellous radius was determined in a consecutive series of 21 women and 54 men with urolithiasis with the Americium-241 gamma ray attenuation method. Bone mineral density was statistically significantly lower in both sexes compared with coeval healthy subjects. Further study is needed to examine the relationship between the bone mineral density and disturbances in calcium metabolism in patients with renal stone disease.
