Abstract

Using dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry (DEXA), the lumbar spinal bone mineral density (BMD) in 49 Japanese children with or without metabolic bone disease (MBD) was determined. The following results were obtained: (a) The normal data for healthy Caucasians (J Clin Endocrinol Metab 1990; 70: 1330‐1333) appear to be applicable to Japanese children; (b) BMD was normal in patients with congenital hydronephrosis with normal renal function; (c) One patient with congenital renal failure and one with Lowe syndrome had low BMD, but the MBD in the former improved markedly with peritoneal dialysis; (d) A reduced BMD was found in patients treated with long‐term steroids, probably because of decreased turnover of bone; (e) A reduction in BMD was pronounced in preterm infants during the first few months of life. In conclusion, DEXA is a useful method of bone densitometry in MBD in children.
