Objective To observe the changes in bone density and calcium and phosphorus metabolism indicators in elderly patients with advanced schistosomiasis liver disease after splenectomy. Method: 118 patients with advanced schistosomiasis liver disease who were hospitalized at the Third People's Hospital of Kunshan City from January 2017 to July 2018 were included in the study group. 81 patients who underwent splenectomy were included in the observation group, and 37 patients who did not undergo splenectomy were included in the control group. Compare the differences in B-ultrasound bone density values, Asian Osteoporosis Self Screening Tool (OSTA) scores, and indicators such as aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), serum albumin (ALB), fibrinogen (FBG), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and 25-hydroxyvitamin D between two groups of patients. The results showed that the B-ultrasound velocity (SOS) and T-values of the observation group were (3926.6 ± 143.4) m/s and (-2.12 ± 1.35), respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the control group (3832.0 ± 151.4) m/s and (-3.12 ± 1.33) (t=3.27 and 3.78, both P 0.05). The AST and ALT levels in the observation group were (34.04 ± 11.81) U/L and (21.53 ± 8.73) U/L, respectively, significantly higher than those in the control group (26.19 ± 5.78) U/L and (14.00 ± 4.89) U/L (t=3.83, 4.90, P 0.05). Observation group 25 hydroxyvitamin D [(24.06 ± 6.99) μ G/L] significantly higher than the control group [(21.36 ± 6.50) μ G/L] (t=1.99, P<0.05). Conclusion: Elderly patients with advanced schistosomiasis liver disease lack vitamin D, and their bone density after splenectomy is significantly higher than that of patients without splenectomy. There is no significant change in calcium and phosphorus metabolism indicators.
