High-Dose Intravenous Methylprednisolone Therapy Associated with Osteonecrosis in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Abstract: Osteonecrosis is related to the use of steroids in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE); its association with the use of 'pulses' of methylprednisolone (PMP) is not clear at present. In a retrospective analysis of 190 patients with SLE we found that 19% of 36 patients treated with PMP had osteonecrosis compared with 6% of 154 patients without that treatment (P < 0.04). Risk factors associated with osteonecrosis were PMP treatment, cushingoid appearance, steroid doses > or = 40 mg/day during the fir… Show more

“…Four conclusions may be drawn: firstly, advanced stage, steroid therapy, regular alcohol intake and cigarette smoking are important risk factors for the outcome after CD [6,7,9,19,32,33]. Regular alcohol intake was only a significant risk factor when combined with smoking.…”

“…На данный момент не выявлено конкретных связей этого осложнения с каким-либо специфическим проявлением СКВ, степенью активности заболевания или уровнем антикардиолипино-вых антител [58]. Результаты многих исследований свиде тельствуют о значительной роли ГК в развитии АВН [39,40,45,46,49]. Однако характер этой зависимости оцени вается по-разному.…”

“…Нет единого мнения по поводу влияния пульс-терапии ме-тилпреднизолоном на возникновение этого осложнения. Ряд авторов сообщают, что данный вид интенсивной тера пии предшествовал развитию АВН [39,47]. Однако в других исследованиях не удалось установить взаимосвязи между пульс-терапией ГК и развитием АВН [40,43,49,63].…”

“…Several studies investigating the association of ION with steroid treatment have yielded conlicting results with regard to the cumulative dosage, maximum dose, route of administration, and duration of treatment. Glucocorticoid dose and duration seem to be important factors related to ION, but there is considerable controversy about this issue [3,[15][16][17][18][19][20]. ION may develop in patients who have received high-dose, short-term, or long-term steroid.…”
