ΜΕΤΑΒΟΛΙΣΜΟΣ ΤΟΥ ΑΣΒΕΣΤΙΟΥ ΚΑΙ ΟΣΤΕΟΠΑΘΕΙΑ ΣΕ ΧΡΟΝΙΟΥΣ ΑΛΚΟΟΛΙΚΟΥΣ

IN ORDER TO DELINEATE THE PATHOGENESIS OF THE ALCOHOLIC BONE 15 CHRONIC ALCOHOLIC MEN, AGED 29-55 YEARS WERE STUDIED. VARIOUS BIOCHEMICAL, RADIOLOGICAL, HISTOLOGICAL AND RADIO-IMMUNOLOGIC PARAMETERS WERE USED. THE PATIENTS WERE FOUND TO HAVE A HIGH (66,6%) PREVALENCE OF OSTEOPENIA AND BONE DEMINERALIZATION, IN THE ABSENCE OF ALCOHOL-INDUCED HEPATITIS OR CIRRHOSIS. LOW DIETARY CALCIUM ANDHIGH URINARY CALCIUM EXCRETION, CORRELATED WITH OSTEOPENIA AND BONE DEMINERALIZATION, SUGGESTING BOTH FACTORS CONTRIBUTE TO THE BONE DISEASE OBSERVED IN ALCOHOLIC POPULATIONS. PLASMA 25-OH-D3 CONCENTRATIONS WERE LOW BUT DID NOT CORRELATE WITH INDICES OF OSTEOPENIA. AN ADDITIONAL, CONTRIBUTING TO THE ALCOHOLICBONE DISEASE FACTOR, APPEARS TO BE CIGARETTE SMOKING WHICH IS VERY COMMON AMONG CHRONIC ALCOHOLICS.
