Skeletal and lean body mass in alcoholics with and without cirrhosis
Copyright policy )Skeletal and lean body mass in alcoholics with and without cirrhosis
The state of the skeleton has not been carefully studied in chronic alcoholism. A decrease in bone mass has been reported in both chronic alcoholics and in patients with cirrhosis. Although this decrease has been attributed to osteoporosis, the recent discovery of the importance of the liver in the metabolic transformation of vitamin D, makes increasingly possible a role for vitamin D defiency in this effect of alcohol and liver disease on the bone.
