IntroductionIntroduction
• Osteoporosis is a common complication of chronic liver disease.
• Like senile osteoporosis, liver-diseaseassociated osteoporosis results from an imbalance between bone formation& resorption that leads to a net decrease in bone mass.
• The factors responsible for reduced bone formation and/or increased bone resorption in liver-disease-associated osteoporosis remain incompletely understood.
• Advances shed some light on the potential pathogenic mechanisms involved in this process.
