title: [Bone metabolic disease associated with celiac disease].
abstract: Patients with celiac disease present a high prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis which globally jeopardize the skeleton. The pathogenesis of this bone disease is related to an accelerated bone change in which catabolism predominates. The metabolic studies coincide in a negative calcium balance with consequent secondary hyperparathyroidism. Diagnosis requires evaluation of bone mineral density by precise, reliable methods to which all adult celiac patients should be submitted. Finally, specific treatment with a gluten-free diet leads to significant bone remineralization.
