[The mineral density of the bone tissue in patients with rheumatic diseases of the joints (based on x-ray densitometry data)].
Manifestations were studied of systemic osteoporosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, primary osteoarthrosis, and ankylosing spondylarthritis. There have been disclosed differently directed changes in mineral density of lumbar spine and thigh bone segments related to phase of the illness as well as to the treatments administered, patient age, and impact of the post-menopausal period (in female patients). A conclusion has been reached that it is necessary that the above-mentioned studies be made in order that we might choose relevant therapeutic alternatives for patients with rheumatic afflictions of the joints.
