Popis: Objective We investigated whether treatment with calcium carbonate and vitamin D3 can improve the bone mineral content of patients with ileal reservoirs for continent urinary diversion and a reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Material and methods Twenty-six patients with Kock reservoirs were included in the study. Bone mineralization was determined using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Kidney function was estimated from Cr–EDTA clearance and serum cystatin C concentration. Osteocalcin and parathyroid hormone in serum were also measured. Patients with reduced GFR were treated with calcium carbonate and vitamin D3 perorally. Results Bone mineral density in the femur neck and hip increased in the treatment group, as reflected by an improved T score. Conclusion Patients with ileal reservoirs for continent urinary diversion and reduced kidney function should be supplemented with calcium carbonate and vitamin D3 in order to reduce the long-term risk of osteoporosis.
