High bone turnover in fibromyalgia.
    Calcified tissue international, 1990, Volume: 46, Issue:5

    This paper seeks to determine if patients with a fibromyalgic syndrome have specific abnormalities of skeletal homeostasis. Radioisotopic evaluation of skeletal remodeling showed higher Fogelman index and increased 24-hour pyrophosphate retention in the group of fibromyalgics (n = 28) when compared to the control group (n = 16). Bone density (lumbar vertebrae and femoral neck) was not significantly different from control subjects. These data might suggest an accelerated bone metabolism in these patients.
