Transient osteoporosis of hip joint with liver cirrhosis.
We describe the association between transient osteoporosis of the hip (TOH) and liver cirrhosis in a female patient. The clinical course, radiographic and scintigraphic features were similar to cases of TOH described previously. The pathogenesis of this syndrome is unknown and we suggest there may be a relationship between the hemodynamic changes common in cirrhotic patients and in pregnant women and the development of TOH.
