Mineral homeostasis and bone mass at diagnosis in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the osteopenia and unusual fractures observed in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) were related to the disease rather than to its treatment.
DESIGN: Prospective analysis of the bone and mineral status in 40 consecutive children with ALL seen in a pediatric tertiary-care referral center.
