The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of hypovitaminosis D and low bone mineral density in a sample of patients within our HIV cohort.
A random sample of 16 HIV-infected patients was selected for evaluation of levels of Vitamin D and bone mineral density with dual X ray absorptiometry.
Within this sample of patients, 94% had low levels of vitamin D. Among them, eight had insufficient levels (10-30 ng/mL) and seven had deficient levels (less than 10 ng/mL) of this vitamin. Ten out of sixteen (63%) had an abnormal dual X ray absorptiometry (osteopenia or osteoporosis). All patients with osteopenia or osteoporosis had low levels of vitamin D, were on CDC stage A, had a CD4+ count greater than 350 cells/mm³ and HIV viral load less than 50 copies/mL.
Low bone mineral density and hypovitaminosis D is highly frequent in this sample of HIV-infected patients in Chile.
本研究的目的是确定我们艾滋病毒队列中患者样本中维生素D缺乏症和低骨矿物质密度的发生率。
随机抽取16例感染艾滋病毒的患者,用双能X线吸收法评估维生素D水平和骨矿物质密度。
在该患者样本中,94%的患者维生素D水平较低。其中,8例维生素水平不足(10 - 30 ng/mL),7例维生素水平缺乏(低于10 ng/mL)。16例中有10例(63%)双能X线吸收法结果异常(骨质减少或骨质疏松)。所有骨质减少或骨质疏松的患者维生素D水平均较低,处于疾病控制中心A期,CD4 + 细胞计数大于350个细胞/mm³,艾滋病毒载量低于50拷贝/mL。
在智利的这个艾滋病毒感染患者样本中,低骨矿物质密度和维生素D缺乏症非常常见。
