Objective To study the changes of the bone density and metabolic makers in patients with lupus nephritis (LN) after long time prednisone treatment.Methods All patients were women.The healthy controls (group A, n =20),the patients with normal renal function (group B, n =25) were studied before and after 2 and 4 month prednisone treatment.Dual energy X ray absorptiometry was used to measure bone mineral density (BMD) in the lumbar spine at L2~L4,femoral neck,Ward′s triangle,great trochanter (GT) and ultradis (ULT).Simultaneously,the serum calcium,phosphate,alkaline phosphate enzyme,PTH M,BGP,24 hour urine calcium,creatinine and other biochemical indices were examined in all of them.Results ① There were no significant differences in BMD between both groups ( P
