title: [Bone mineral density in patients with liver cirrhosis].
abstract: The article represents BMD (bone mineral density) study of 75 patients with a cirrhosis of liver. Main group of patients under study was represented by alcoholic cirrhosis patients - 45%, and primary biliary cirrhosis - 36%. 72% of patients were established BMD deficit, 25% on osteoporosis level. Influence of disease etiology on osteopenia frequency and/or osteoporosis localization was diagnosed. Dependence of osteopenia frequency and/or osteoporosis from population risk factors, duration of disease, hepatic insufficiency class under Child-Pugh score was analyzed.
