| Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) has well-defined renal complications, but urolithiasis has not been studied in detail. We aimed to evaluate the relation between AS and urolithiasis presence and the effect of this coexistence on the bone mineral status of patients. By dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry measurements at the femoral neck and lumbar vertebrae, we assessed the influence of urolithiasis, disease activity, and duration on bone mineral density (BMD) at different sites. Fifty-three AS patients and 25 control subjects were enrolled in the study. Mean age was 39.49±13.01 years for the AS group and 43.80±10.69 years for the control group, with no statistically significant difference. Patients were accepted as having active disease if two of the following were present: (1) symptomatic peripheral arthritis, (2) erythrocyte sedimentation rate greater than 30 mm/h, (3) C-reactive protein greater than 5 mg/L, and (4) dorsal … |
