Calcium physiology, metabolism and supplementation: a glance at patients with ankylosing spondylitis

The aim of this review is to describe the metabolism of calcium in ankylosing spondylitis compared to physiologic conditions, and to present the current evidence on the benefits and disadvantages of calcium supplementation in these patients. A narrative review of the literature was conducted using t...
