AbstractObjective. To study the effect of chronic steroid therapy on bone mineral density (BMD) in premenopausal women with normal menstrual cycles and its treatment. Methods. A double blind placebo controlled study to evaluate 81 premenopausal women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), aged 31.1 ± 6 years, taking chronic steroid therapy, with a mean cumulative prednisone dose of 28 ± 16.2 g. They were randomly allocated to 3 groups: Group 1:0.5 μg calcitriol and 1200 mg calcium daily; Group 2:1200 mg calcium and placebo calcitriol; and Group 3: both placebo calcitriol and placebo calcium. Results. Baseline T score at the lumbar spine was > -1 in 56.8% and < -2.5 in 3.7% of the patients. At the end of 2 years, patients in the calcitriol group exhibited a significant increase of 2.1 ± 2.4% in BMD at the lumbar spine compared to baseline value (p < 0.05). This change was not significantly different from the respective change in either calcium or placebo group (0.4 ± 2.9% and 0.3 ± 3.5%, respectively). No significant changes were observed in any treatment group in BMD at the hip or radius. Alkaline phosphatase increased both in the placebo (baseline: 57.5 ± 17.5 IU/l; year 2:60.9 ± 15.3 IU/l) and the calcium group (baseline: 53.6 ± 16.6 IU/l; year 2:59.0 ± 22.8 IU/l), but this increase reached statistical significance only in the calcium group, while the same variable remained stable in the calcitriol group (baseline: 53.9 ±14.1 IU/l; year 2:54.6 ± 12.3 IU/l). Conclusion. Premenopausal women with SLE taking prolonged steroid therapy had lower BMD but showed no significant bone loss over the 2 year study period. The beneficial effect of calcitriol treatment in these premenopausal women was small, at least when it was instituted late in the course of steroid therapy.
