Elevated pro-BNP and low-grade inflammation are associated with low bone mineral density in systemic sclerosis, a case control study
Bone mineral density (BMD) is compromised in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) compared to the background population, yet the underlying disease related factors are less known. This study evaluates SSc disease-related features and predictability for BMD along with established risk factors for low BMD in SSc patien...
