Assessment of the Relationship Between Bone Mineral Density and Disease Activity in Ankylosing Spondylitis Patients with Osteopenia

Assessment of the Relationship Between Bone Mineral Density and Disease Activity in Ankylosing Spondylitis Patients with Osteopenia

Summary Aim: Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease. Spinal osteopenia is common in AS, probably due to immobility and local cytokine release. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between bone mineral density and disease activity in Ankylosing Spondylitis patients w...
