Systemic steroid is required for the exacerbation of ulcerative colitis (UC), although its administration should be avoided in patients with a low bone mineral density (BMD) exacerbated by side effects of steroids. We herein report the successful induction of remission in an UC case with a low BMD due to Fanconi-Bickel syndrome-or glycogen storage disease type XI-using granulocyte and monocyte adsorptive apheresis (GMA). For a 43-year-old woman with a BMD of 50% the young adult mean, GMA was performed 2 times a week for a total of 10 times. GMA might be a steroid-free treatment option for UC patients with a low BMD.
系统性类固醇是溃疡性结肠炎(UC)恶化所必需的,尽管对于因类固醇副作用而导致骨密度(BMD)降低的患者,应避免使用类固醇。我们在此报告了一例由于范可尼-比克尔综合征或糖原贮积病 XI 型导致低 BMD 的 UC 病例,使用粒细胞和单核细胞吸附性血浆分离术(GMA)成功诱导缓解。对于一名 43 岁的女性,其 BMD 为年轻人平均值的 50%,每周进行 2 次 GMA,共进行 10 次。GMA 可能是 BMD 降低的 UC 患者的一种无类固醇治疗选择。
