    Liver-bone relationships: integrative pathophysiology, diagnostic, prognostic, preventive and therapeutic considerations
    Fisher, Leon (2019)
    Over the last 10 years we examined complex multidirectional interactions between the digestive system and osteoporotic fractures focusing on pathophysiological and clinical issues of liver-bone relationships. These included: vitamin D, vitamin K and parathyroid hormone in chronic liver and pancreatic diseases (2 papers: [1, 2]); associations between liver function, bone-mineral biomarkers, indices of iron metabolism and adipokines (leptin, adiponectin, resistin) in orthogeriatric patients (3 papers: [3-5]); diagnostic and prognostic indicators of osteoporosis, fractures, and in- hospital outcomes (5 papers: [6-10]). A shortened overview of our main findings is presented.
