[Bone densitometry. A critical review and the authors' own experience].
After an updated review of computerised bone densitometry, personal experience of the bone density found in healthy subjects and rheumatoid arthritis patients both those treated with prednisone and untreated is reported. In addition certain biohumoral parameters like bone calcium, PTH, CT and l'1-25 (OH)2D3 were investigated. The results show significantly lower levels of bone calcium in treated than untreated patients.
