Retrospective chart review observes metabolic markers and CT-measured bone mineral density in hepatocellular carcinoma patients under 65, highlighting metabolic impacts on bone health.
Metabolic conditions such as diabetes, and dyslipidemia are prevalent in the United States (US), serving as potential risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to examine the association between various metabolic markers and Hounsfield Units (HU) from L1 vertebral CT scans as indicators of bone mineral density (BMD) in HCC patients under age 65.
