About
Use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) has increased in recent years. There are concerns that PPIs have possible negative effects on bone metabolism. It has been suggested that PPIs may reduce the absorption of calcium from the small intestine and lead to bone resorption by affecting osteoclastic activity. In this study, it is planned to investigate the effects of lansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, on bone turnover markers in pediatric patients with gastroesophageal reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Full description
This study is planned to be conducted with children who are diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease aged 2-18 years and healthy volunteers. The diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux will be made in accordance with the guidelines of North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) and European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (ESPGHAN). Written and verbal consent will be obtained from patients/healthy volunteers and/or parents who want to participate in the study. Serum calcium, magnesium, alkaline phosphatase, parathormone, 25-OH vitamin D and osteocalcin and urine calcium, creatinine, deoxypyridinoline, C-terminal telopeptides type-1 collagen and N- terminal telopeptides type-1 collagen levels will be measured at baseline and second month in study group and once in control groups.
