It is well known that insulin resistance affects osteodystrophy, and there is an important relationship between insulin resistance and hepato-biliary disease. It is also well known that hepato-biliary and pancreatic disease is associated with osteodystrophy. In the present review, we describe the mechanism of diabetes and osteodystrophy due to hepato-biliary and pancreatic disease. Hepatic osteodystrophy is associated with malabsorption, abnormalities of vitamin D metabolism, inflammatory cytokines, receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand, and insulin-like growth factor-1. In particular, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and malabsorption are important factors for viral and alcoholic hepatitis, respectively. Malabsorption due to steatorrhea is important for cholestatic disease and chronic pancreatitis. A greater focus on non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and further investigations to clarify the relationship between osteodystrophy and NASH are needed.
