Bone Microstructure by Using HR-pQCT in Long Courses After Gastrectomy

January 8, 2018 updated by: Kobayashi Shinichiro

Assessment of Bone Microstructure by Using High-resolution Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography in Long Courses After Gastrectomy : a Prospective Observational Study

Osteoporosis after gastrectomy, which is characterized by both the loss of bone mass and the deterioration of bone architecture, is a serious complication in the long course after gastrectomy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate osteoporosis by using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) in the long course after gastrectomy. In total gastrectomy and distal gastrectomy groups, at least 5 years should have elapsed since gastrectomy.

Detailed Description

The patients after gastrectomy loss appetite and decrease the weight. Total gastrectomy especially cause severe sarcopenia and metabolic change. Osteoporosis after gastrectomy, which is characterized by both the loss of bone mass and the deterioration of bone architecture, is a serious complication in the long course after gastrectomy. The primary tools for assessing volumetric density and bone structure are quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and more recently, high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). However the validation of osteoporosis with HR-pQCT in the long course after gastrectomy remain elusive. The aim of the present study was to evaluate osteoporosis by using HR-pQCT in the long course after gastrectomy. In total gastrectomy and distal gastrectomy groups, at least 5 years should have elapsed since gastrectomy.
