| Popis: | Here, it was aimed to investigate whether the frequency of osteoporosis in patients with liver cirrhosis increases compared to the healthy population. DEXA (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry) test was applied to 50 patients with liver cirrhosis and 50 healthy people of similar age who were followed in the Gastroenterology Clinic of Atatürk University Medical Faculty Hospital. L1-L4 T scores were determined from the DEXA test results. In addition, age, gender, disease etiology, complications, Child-Pugh score, sodium-corrected MELD (Model for End-stage Liver Disease) score, serum vitamin D and corrected serum calcium levels were obtained from all patients. The mean age of the patient group with liver cirrhosis was 58,18±10,67 years. The mean age of the control group was 59,82±11,54. When compared in terms of age distribution, no statistically significant difference was found between the two groups (p>0,05). The mean DEXA test T scores of the patient group with liver cirrhosis was -1,58±1,44 SD and the mean of the DEXA test T scores of the control group was calculated as -1,01±1,32 SD. When compared in terms of T scores, a statistically significant decrease was found in the patients with liver cirrhosis compared to the control group (p |
