Osteoporosis and long-term corticosteroid therapy
British Medical Journal
|July 21, 1973
Abstract:
Sequential measurements of total body calcium by in-vivo neutron activation analysis were made in five patients treated with corticosteroid drugs for severe inflammatory disease. No evidence of osteoporosis was seen to develop during the course of 20-33 months of study. In one case a substantial rise in total body calcium was found.
