Assessment of Serum Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Iron, and Zinc in Osteoporosis Postmenopausal Women

Abstract

Objectives: The present study aims to show:1- Evaluation of serum (Phosphorus, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, and Iron)  in patients under study and compare with controls group. 2- Radiological finding and its significance in diagnosing of osteoporosis. DEXA is the essential indicative decision by which to screen women >50 years of age for osteoporosis; Evaluation variation of T-scores.

Methods: Serum Calcium and other measured were compared between the patients group (122) and controls (32), The patients were determined to have osteoporosis as DEXA check.

Results: Comparison between patients and controls group; Serum calcium was a significant decrease in postmenopausal women (osteoporosis) when compared to postmenopausal women (healthy) ; Serum phosphorus, serum magnesium, serum iron,  and serum zinc between two groups were a significant decrease in postmenopausal women (osteoporosis); T-scores were a significant decrease in postmenopausal women osteoporosis group, compared to controls group.

Conclusions: Serum calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron and zinc levels in postmenopausal women, these metals were found to have a significant relationship with the controls group and were almost as low or normal. It was considered to be essential in diagnosis and detection. Diagnosis of osteoporosis disease in postmenopausal women by DEXA is the right choice for detection by using as T-scores.
