Screening with bone mineral density scanning may detect early osteopenia and/ or osteoporosis. No guidelines have been established regarding the age at which this should begin.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Patients with generalized forms of JEB and RDEB need to be monitored by serial DEXA scans for possible osteoporosis or osteopenia, and in selected EB subsets other laboratory parameters (hematological; renal) or diagnostic tests (echocardiogram) should[ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
Keeping these differentials in mind further workup was done. Laboratory examination revealed leukocytosis, hyponatremia, and hypokalemia. Blood culture was negative.[ijpd.in]
An important part of the preoperative workup consists of assessing potential venous accesses, which may also be compromised due to the patient’s skin condition.[scielo.org.co]

Because skin blisters are the initial manifestation of epidermolysis bullosa (EB), patients invariably present to the dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.[books.google.com]
Is there a cure or treatment? Sadly at present there is no cure for EB. Research is progressing towards finding treatments to correct the faulty proteins responsible, but present treatment is to manage the symptoms.[gosh.nhs.uk]
CONCLUSIONS: The poor prognosis of this condition must be considered when decisions are made regarding surgical correction.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Moreover, regular follow-up is needed because of the poor prognosis of this disease and the possibility of urologic complications such as ureterovesical obstruction.[synapse.koreamed.org]
