title: Single photon bone densitometry in multiple myeloma.
abstract: The study was performed in 45 patients with multiple myeloma. There was found significant correlation between diminished bone mineral density of forearm and duration of the disease. No correlation between bone mineral density and biochemical markers of osteolysis (pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline in urine) and serum levels of cytokines was found.
