title: [THE ROLE OF NUTRITION IN THE GENESIS OF-HEPATIC OSTEODYSTROPHY IN PRIMARY BILIARY CIRRHOSIS].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the effect of diet on the development of hepatic osteodystrophy in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  In 24 women with PBC, including signs of autoimmune hepatitis (PBC/AIH)--9 persons and 19 women in the control group were analyzed the daily diet, body composition, as well as bone mineral density in the lumbar spine and femur by dual-energy X-ray adsorbtsiometrii (DEXA).
  
  
  RESULTS
  In PBC incidence of osteoporosis and severe osteoporosis was 22.7% and 9.1%, respectively, and osteopenia--59.1%, with a lesion predominantly lumbar spine. Inadequate intake of calcium in patients with PBC is associated with lower density of the femur. The high protein content in the diet has a protective effect on bone mineral density, associating with the development of osteopenia.
