    Long-term anticonvulsant use, particularly diphenylhydantoin (DPH) and phenobarbital (PB), is linked to bone changes in patients. Monitoring bone health and biochemistry is crucial during such treatments.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Pharmacology
    • Bone Metabolism

    Background:

    • Long-term anticonvulsant therapy is common for neurological disorders.
    • Potential adverse effects on bone health require investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of long-term anticonvulsant use on bone changes.
    • To correlate laboratory findings with the severity of bone abnormalities.

    Main Methods:

    • Microdensitometric (MD) method used to assess bone changes in 221 outpatients.
    • Serum calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), and alkaline phosphatase (Al-p) levels were analyzed.
    • Correlation analysis between drug dosage, serum drug concentrations, duration of use, and bone changes.

    Main Results:

    • 72% of patients had normal bone density; 28% showed abnormalities.
    • Incidence of bone abnormalities was higher in patients aged 26-35 and over 56.
    • Positive correlation found between diphenylhydantoin (DPH) and phenobarbital (PB) parameters (dose, serum concentration, duration for PB) and bone change severity.
    • Serum calcium levels correlated with bone changes, but P and Al-p did not.
    • Most bone abnormalities were osteoporotic in type.

    Conclusions:

    • Long-term anticonvulsant therapy, especially with DPH and PB, can lead to osteopathy.
    • Roentgenologic and biochemical monitoring is recommended for patients on long-term anticonvulsants.
