[Bone complications in chronic liver disease(hepatic osteodystrophy)].

Bone complication occurs in patients with alcoholic hepatitis, chronic hepatitis C, primary biliary cirrhosis(PBC), primary sclerosing cholangitis(PSC)or post liver transplant. Prevalence of osteoporosis and fracture risk is high in these diseases. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH)is increasing in prevalence. Relation of NAFLD/NASH with osteoporosis, however, is not well known, and further investigation is needed.
