Methods: In this prospective, one-centre study, we assessed bone mineral and vitamin D alterations in 187 IBD patients (119 with Crohn\u2019s disease (CD) and 68 with ulcerative colitis (UC)). Results: While 81.3% of the patients had vitamin D deficiency, 14.2% of them had a severe deficiency. Elevated serum PTH concentrations were found in 14.9% of the patients. Only in 4.1% of cases was there an elevated level of a serum marker for bone formation (osteocalcin), whereas in 14.4% of cases, the bone resorption marker (CTX) was raised. The concentration of phosphate in urine was higher in the CD than in the UC group (51.20 vs. 31.25; p = 0.003). PTH was negatively associated with vitamin D level. Among the patients receiving corticosteroids, the CTX and CRP median levels were higher (0.49 vs. 0.38; p = 0.013 and 6.45 vs. 2.2; p = 0.029, respectively) compared with the group who did not receive them. Urine phosphate levels were lower (48.60 vs. 26.00; p = 0.005), as were osteocalcin (15.50 vs. 23.80; p &lt; 0.001), and PTH (29.05 vs. 36.05; p = 0.018). Conclusions: Bone mineral alterations were common in patients with IBD, mostly in the CD patients. This may be associated with poor absorption, making CD patients vulnerable to changes in bone mineralization. Vitamin D supplementation remains crucial, especially when taking corticosteroids.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11144138","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,17]],"date-time":"2022-07-17T22:57:06Z","timestamp":1658098626000},"page":"4138","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Bone Metabolism Alteration in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9301-9995","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Edyta Maria","family":"Tulewicz-Marti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Subdivision, Central Clinical Hospital of the Ministry of Interior and Administration, 02-507 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3866-4905","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Konrad","family":"Lewandowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Subdivision, Central Clinical Hospital of the Ministry of Interior and Administration, 02-507 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1267-7620","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gra\u017cyna","family":"Rydzewska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Subdivision, Central Clinical Hospital of the Ministry of Interior and Administration, 02-507 Warsaw, Poland"},{"name":"Collegium Medicum, Jan Kochanowski University, 25-317 Kielce, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S6","DOI":"10.1093\/jcag\/gwy054","article-title":"The Impact of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Canada 2018: Epidemiology","volume":"2","author":"Kaplan","year":"2019","journal-title":"J.
