Abstract

Objectives: Investigation of bone density by dual-energy X-ray (DEXA) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus who have been receiving long-term corticosteroid therapy. Subjects and methods: Cross-sectional study of 83 patients diagnosed with lupus nephritis. All patients were measured bone density to evaluate bone deficiency, osteoporosis by DEXA method. Results: The mean age of patients with lupus nephritis was 28.13 ± 9.21, the rate of male was 13.3%, female accounted for 86.7%. The mean duration of steroid treatment was 39.44 ± 43.74 months. The average value of bone density at the femoral neck is 0.72 ± 0.15 g/cm2; in the pelvis area is 0.82 ± 0.17 g/cm2. The percentage of patients with osteoporosis accounted for 38.55%, osteoporosis accounted for 8.44%. Conclusion: Decreased bone density is a common in patients with lupus nephritis.
