[Osteometric features of duodenal ulcer disease in children depending on the clinical course of the illness].
In order to study the state of the bone tissue in children with duodenal ulcer, we conducted research of peripheral parts of the radius and ulna at the computer osteodensitometer DTX-100 (Denmark) with the help of the quality X-ray absorptiometry method. Osteopenias of various degrees of severity were revealed in 47.22% of patients under study. The critical age periods for osteopenia formation in children with duodenal ulcers is the age of 12-15 in girls and 13-16 in boys. We revealed a clear dependence of the mineral content and mineral density of the bone tissue on particular characteristics of the duodenal ulcer clinical course.
