Abstract

Long-term therapy with glucocorticosteroids (GC) is widely used in rheumatic and autoim mune diseases due to their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. However, GC therapy can also 
 cause a number of side effects, such as loss of muscle and bone mass, increased blood pressure, metabolic 
 disorders with the development of obesity. This review examines the available literature data in the field of 
 dietetics and nutritionology, which can be recommended to patients who are on long-term therapy with GCS 
 to reduce possible side effects.
