GoalsT i b i b bi l• To review basic bone biology

• To understand the principles of DXA and its pitfalls

• To examine how IBD subverts normal bone function

• To review therapeutic options to increase BMD in patients with IBD

Bone And IBD

• Decreased bone mineral density– Males = Females– CD = UC (?)

• Fracture risk?– Vertebral fractures

Bone Remodeling

• Osteoclasts followed by osteoblasts• Act on the same bone surface

Abnormal Bone Remodeling: Osteoporosis

• Reduced bone mass• Architectural deterioration of the skeleton• Increased risk of fracture

Goal

To understand the principles of DXA and its pitfalls

DXA Technology

Patient

Detector (detects 2 tissue types - bone and soft tissue)

Photons

Patient

X-ray Source (produces 2 photon energies with different attenuation profiles)

Definition of Osteoporosis

WHO d fi iti (2000) b d T• WHO definitions (2000) based on T-score– > -1 = Normal– < -1 but > -2.5 = Osteopenia– < -2.5 = Osteoporosis

• Only applicable to post-menopausal women

• Not intended as thresholds for treatment

• Not validated in patients with IBD

Goal

To examine how IBD subverts normal bone function

Axis?

Gut – Bone Axis Candidates

• Immunological factors– Soluble factors– Cells (circulating/local)

• Nutritional deficiencies– Direct effects– Indirect effects

• Body compositionBody composition• Hormonal axes

The Future

Take Home Points

• Bone mass deficits occur in patients with IBD

Ri k f f t ildl i d• Risk of fractures mildly increased– Vertebral fracture prevalence?

M ltif t i l th i• Multifactorial pathogenesis

Take Home Points

• Bone mass can be measured by DXA– Be aware of pitfalls

Id tif d dd difi bl i k f t• Identify and address modifiable risk factors

• Control of inflammation, calcium/vitamin D, activity may increase bone massactivity may increase bone mass
