Abstract:
Because of improved treatment of cirrhosis, patients are living longer and bone disesae such as osteoporosis is found in an increasing proportion of patients with cirrhosis. As the causes for bone diseases in cirrhosis, inhibition of vitamin D hydration and inhibition of vitamin D absorption due to decreased secretion of cholic acid have been reported, and various other causes are concerned. These bone diseases have been treated with bisphosphonates, but no definite opinion has been obtained in relation to therapeutic effects. In recent years, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH)is increasing in prevalence. Relation of these deseases with osteoporosis, however, is not well known and further investigation is needed.
