Abstract
Objective To investigate the relationship between renal damage and osteoporosis in male patients with type Ⅱ diabetes mellitus. Methods Dual energy X-ray absorptimmetry was used to measure the bone mineral density(BMD) of lumbar spines (L2-4),femoral neck,Ward's triangle and trochanter in 96 patients with type Ⅱdiabetes mellitus (including 44 cases of normoalbuminuria, 27 cases of microalbuminuria and 25 cases of clinical albuminuria)and 43 normal controls. Results The BMD of proximal femoral and lumbar spines in microalbuminuria group was lower than that in normal controls,but had no statistical differences( P 0.05) .The BMD of Lumbar spines and proximal femur in clinical albuminuria group was lower than that in normal conlrols ( P 0.01,0.05). Conclusions Renal damage is an important factor in aggravating OP in male patients with type Ⅱdiabetes mellitus.
