Bone Mineral Density Is Not Significantly Reduced in Adult Patients on Low-Dose Glucocorticoid Replacement Therapy

Abstract

Adult PAI and CAH patients on low glucocorticoid doses showed normal BMD within the normal reference range. The use of longer acting prednisolone resulted in significantly lower BMD in PAI. In addition, DHEA treatment may have a beneficial effect on bone in Addison's women.
