Detailed Description
Bone diseases have been recognized recently as complications of genetic hemochromatosis. Further studies are needed to describe the role of iron in bone injuries. The purpose of this study is to describe bone status on patients with genetical hemochromatosis, at diagnostic time and his evolution under treatment.
Study Design
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Bone mineral density [Change from baseline in bone mineral density at three years]
Vertebral and hips Dual energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Predictive value of iron overload on Bone Mineral Density [1 day]
- Number of vertebral fractures [3 years]
- Number of peripheral fractures [3 years]
- Number and location of joint lesions detected by the examination (pain and swelling) [3 years]
- Determination of genetic polymorphism of BMP 2 and 4 [Baseline]
