Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Defining the optimal parathyroid hormone (PTH) target in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is challenging, especially for bone outcomes, due to the substantial variability in the skeleton's response to PTH. Although PTH hyporesponsiveness is as integral a component of CKD-mineral bone disorder as elevated PTH levels, clinical awareness of this condition is limited. In this review, we will discuss factors and mechanisms contributing to PTH hyporesponsiveness in CKD. This knowledge may provide clues towards a personalized approach to treating secondary hyperparathyroidism in CKD. RECENT FINDINGS Indicates a link between disturbed phosphate metabolism and impaired skeletal calcium sensing receptor signaling as an important mediator of PTH hyporesponsiveness in CKD. Further, cohort studies with diverse populations point towards differences in mineral metabolism control, rather than genetic or environmental factors, as drivers of the variability of PTH responsiveness. IN SUMMARY Skeletal PTH hyporesponsiveness in CKD has a multifactorial origin, shows important interindividual variability, and is challenging to estimate in clinical practice. The variability in skeletal responsiveness compromises PTH as a biomarker of bone turnover, especially when considering populations that are heterogeneous in ethnicity, demography, kidney function, primary kidney disease and mineral metabolism control, and in patients treated with bone targeting drugs.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has emerged as one of the leading noncommunicable diseases affecting >10% of the population worldwide. Bone and mineral disorders are a common complication among patients with CKD resulting in a poor life quality, high fracture risk, increased morbidity and cardiovascular mortality. According to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes, renal osteodystrophy refers to changes in bone morphology found in bone biopsy, whereas CKD-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) defines a complex of disturbances including biochemical and hormonal alterations, disorders of bone and mineral metabolism and extraskeletal calcification. As a result, the management of CKD-MBD should focus on the aforementioned parameters, including the treatment of hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, abnormal PTH and vitamin D levels. Regarding the bone fragility fractures, osteoporosis and renal osteodystrophy, which constitute the bone component of CKD-MBD, anti-osteoporotic agents constitute the mainstay of treatment. However, a thorough elucidation of the CKD-MBD pathogenesis is crucial for the ideal personalized treatment approach. In this paper, we review the pathology and management of CKD-MBD based on the current literature with special attention to recent advances.

Abstract
PURPOSE In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), renal osteodystrophy may be associated with a progressive bone mass loss that increases fracture risk. Denosumab, a monoclonal antibody inhibiting osteoclast activity, is an antiresorptive medication used for the treatment osteoporosis. METHODS Its efficacy and safety were initially established in the FREEDOM study, showing a significant reduction in incident fractures in osteoporotic women treated with denosumab. Subsequent post hoc analyses showed its efficacy in patients stratified by kidney function, but these analyses did not include patients with advanced stages of CKD. The capability of denosumab in improving bone mineral density in uremic patients was evaluated in 12 studies including 461 dialysis patients with low bone mineral density. The improvement of bone mineral density was the final end point in these studies assessed during a follow-up of 6-60 months. Nine of these studies did not have hyperparathyroidism among criteria for patient inclusion and their participants may have low-turnover bone disease. Despite current recommendations, no patients underwent bone biopsy before denosumab therapy. RESULTS Overall, findings in these studies suggest that denosumab is a viable option for promoting bone mass recovery in patients with advanced stages of CKD having either high or low serum levels of PTH. However, the increase of bone mineral density was lower in patients with low serum markers of bone turnover at baseline. These studies also highlighted the need for calcium and vitamin D supplementation to prevent hypocalcemia that remains a serious concern. CONCLUSIONS Denosumab emerges as a potentially safe and effective option for enhancing bone health in CKD patients.

Abstract
The global derangement of mineral metabolism that accompanies chronic kidney disease (CKD-MBD) is a major driver of the accelerated mortality for individuals with kidney disease. Advances in the delivery of dialysis, in the composition of phosphate binders, and in the therapies directed towards secondary hyperparathyroidism have failed to improve the cardiovascular event profile in this population. Many obstacles have prevented progress in this field including the incomplete understanding of pathophysiology, the lack of clinical targets for early stages of chronic kidney disease, and the remarkably wide diversity in clinical manifestations. We describe in this review a novel approach to CKD-MBD combining mathematical modelling of biologic processes with machine learning artificial intelligence techniques as a tool for the generation of new hypotheses and for the development of innovative therapeutic approaches to this syndrome. Clinicians need alternative targets of therapy, tools for risk profile assessment, and new therapies to address complications early in the course of disease and to personalize therapy to each individual. The complexity of CKD-MBD suggests that incorporating artificial intelligence techniques into the diagnostic, therapeutic, and research armamentarium could accelerate the achievement of these goals.

Abstract
Arterial media calcification or pathological deposition of calcium-phosphate crystals in the vessel wall contributes significantly to the high mortality rate observed in patients with CKD. Extracellular nucleotides (ie, ATP or UTP) regulate the arterial calcification process by interacting with (1) purinergic receptors and (2) breakdown via ecto-nucleotidases, such as ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase NPP1 or NPP3, affecting the local levels of calcification inhibitor, pyrophosphate, and stimulator inorganic phosphate (PPi/Pi ratio). Also, it has been shown that ATP analogs (ie, β,γ-methylene-ATP [β,γ-meATP]) inhibit vascular smooth muscle cell calcification in vitro. In the first experiment, daily dosing of β,γ-meATP (2 mg/kg) was investigated in rats fed a warfarin diet to trigger the development of non-CKD-related arterial medial calcifications. This study showed that β,γ-meATP significantly lowered the calcium scores in the aorta and peripheral vessels in warfarin-exposed rats. In a second experiment, daily dosing of 4 mg/kg β,γ-meATP and its metabolite medronic acid (MDP) was analyzed in rats fed an adenine diet to promote the development of CKD-related arterial medial calcification. Administration of β,γ-meATP and MDP did not significantly decrease aortic calcification scores in this model. Moreover, both compounds induced deleterious effects on physiological bone mineralization, causing an imminent risk for worsening the already compromised bone status in CKD. Due to this, it was not possible to raise the dosage of both compounds to tackle CKD-related arterial calcification. Again, this points out the difficult task of targeting solely ectopic calcifications without negatively affecting physiological bone mineralization. On the other hand, aortic mRNA expression of Enpp1 and Enpp3 was significantly and positively associated with aortic calcification scores, suggesting that normalizing the aortic NPP1/3 activity to control values might be a possible target to treat (CKD-induced) arterial media calcifications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) refers to a group of bone morphological patterns that derive from distinct pathophysiological mechanisms. Whether the ROD subtypes influence long-term outcomes is unknown. Our objective was to explore the relationship between ROD and clinical outcomes. METHODS This study is a subanalysis of the Brazilian Registry of Bone Biopsies (REBRABO). Samples from individual patients were classified as having osteitis fibrosa (OF), mixed uremic osteodystrophy (MUO), adynamic bone disease (ABD), osteomalacia (OM), normal/minor alterations, and according to turnover/mineralization/volume (TMV) system. Patients were followed for 3.4 yrs. Clinical outcomes were: bone fractures, hospitalization, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and death. RESULTS We enrolled 275 participants, of which 248 (90%) were on dialysis. At follow-up, 28 bone fractures, 97 hospitalizations, 44 MACE, and 70 deaths were recorded. ROD subtypes were not related to outcomes. CONCLUSION The incidence of clinical outcomes did not differ between the types of ROD.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) mineral and bone disorder (MBD) comprises a triad of biochemical abnormalities (of calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone and vitamin D), bone abnormalities (turnover, mineralization and growth) and extra-skeletal calcification. Mineral dysregulation leads to bone demineralization causing bone pain and an increased fracture risk compared to healthy peers. Vascular calcification, with hydroxyapatite deposition in the vessel wall, is a part of the CKD-MBD spectrum and, in turn, leads to vascular stiffness, left ventricular hypertrophy and a very high cardiovascular mortality risk. While the growing bone requires calcium, excess calcium can deposit in the vessels, such that the intake of calcium, calcium- containing medications and high calcium dialysate need to be carefully regulated. Normal physiological bone mineralization continues into the third decade of life, many years beyond the rapid growth in childhood and adolescence, implying that skeletal calcium requirements are much higher in younger people compared to the elderly. Much of the research into the link between bone (de)mineralization and vascular calcification in CKD has been performed in older adults and these data must not be extrapolated to children or younger adults. In this article, we explore the physiological changes in bone turnover and mineralization in children and young adults, the pathophysiology of mineral bone disease in CKD and a potential link between bone demineralization and vascular calcification.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is among the leading causes of death and disability, affecting an estimated 800 million adults globally. The underlying pathophysiology of CKD is complex creating challenges to its management. Primary risk factors for the development and progression of CKD include diabetes mellitus, hypertension, age, obesity, diet, inflammation, and physical inactivity. The high prevalence of diabetes and hypertension in patients with CKD increases the risk for secondary consequences such as cardiovascular disease and peripheral neuropathy. Moreover, the increased prevalence of obesity and chronic levels of systemic inflammation in CKD have downstream effects on critical cellular functions regulating homeostasis. The combination of these factors results in the deterioration of health and functional capacity in those living with CKD. Exercise offers protective benefits for the maintenance of health and function with age, even in the presence of CKD. Despite accumulating data supporting the implementation of exercise for the promotion of health and function in patients with CKD, a thorough description of the responses and adaptations to exercise at the cellular, system, and whole body levels is currently lacking. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to provide an up-to-date comprehensive review of the effects of exercise training on vascular endothelial progenitor cells at the cellular level; cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and neural factors at the system level; and physical function, frailty, and fatigability at the whole body level in patients with CKD.

Abstract
A major complication of chronic kidney disease is the derangement of mineral metabolism, leading to increased risk of fractures and cardiovascular mortality. Current therapeutic regimens are focused on reducing parathyroid hormone levels caused by secondary hyperparathyroidism, and the active vitamin D metabolite l,25(OH)2D, with limited success. It may be a more effective approach, however, if we could target the delayed response of parathyroid hormone in the early retention of phosphate following loss of renal function.We propose intermittent administration (even in stage 2 chronic kidney disease) of parathyroid hormone, known for its bone anabolic effects compared to the catabolic effects of the continuously elevated parathyroid hormone associated with the hyperparathyroid state, to mitigate the retention of phosphate. This approach may prevent the compensatory responses of the other two major calcium- and phosphate-regulating hormones (FGF-23 and l,25(OH)2D) that lead to further worsening of the derangement of mineral metabolism.In addition to its strong theoretical basis, there are data supporting the need for further research focused on the use of intermittent parathyroid hormone in the management of chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder.

Abstract
Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) starts early and progresses with further loss of kidney function in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). There are four distinct types of ROD based on undecalcified bone biopsy results. Adynamic bone disease and osteomalacia are the predominant forms of low bone turnover, while hyperparathyroid bone disease and mixed uremic osteodystrophy (MUO) are typically associated with high bone turnover. MUO is a prevalent but poorly described pathology that demonstrates evidence of osteomalacia on top of the high bone formation/resorption. The prevalence of MUO ranges from 5 to 63% among different studies. The pathogenesis of MUO is multi-factorial. Altered phosphate homeostasis, hypocalcemia, vitamin D deficiency, increased FGF-23, interleukins 1 and 6, TNF-α, amyloid, and heavy metal accumulation are the main inducers of MUO. The clinical findings of MUO are usually non-specific. The use of non-invasive testing such as bone turnover markers and imaging techniques might help to suspect MUO. However, it is usually impossible to precisely diagnose this condition without performing bone biopsy. The principal management of MUO is to control the maladaptive hyperparathyroidism along with correcting any nutritional mineral deficiencies that may induce mineralization defect. MUO is a common but still poorly understood bone pathology category; it demonstrates the complexity and difficulty in understanding ROD. A large prospective bone biopsy-based studies are needed for better identification as proper diagnosis and management would improve the outcome of patients with MUO.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES As the impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD) severity on different bone types remains unclear, we induced increasing levels of CKD severity in a rat model and investigated hormone and mineral levels as well as alveolar and tibia bone histomorphology. METHODS Rats were divided into sham operation (sham), 4/6 nephrectomy (4/6Nx), 5/6Nx, and 4/6Nx with hyperphosphorous (HP) diet (4/6NxHP). At week 20, BUN, FGF23, PTH, and P were estimated in plasma. Bone parameters were evaluated by microCT, and osteoclasts and osteoid areas were evaluated by TRAP and H&E stains, respectively. RESULTS The 4/6NxHP and 5/6Nx groups had elevated PTH, and the 4/6NxHP group alone had elevated P. Compared to the 4/6Nx group, the 4/6NxHP group demonstrated increased FGF23 and P. In the alveolar bone, the 4/6NxHP group had reduced bone volume and BMD compared to the sham and 4/6Nx groups. In the tibia cortical bone, bone surface density was higher in the 4/6NxHP group compared to the sham group. Tibia cortical bone volume was negatively correlated with FGF23 and P. Moreover, alveolar bone volume was negatively correlated with FGF23, PTH, and P. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate that hormone and mineral levels vary with CKD severity, and alveolar bone loss strongly correlates with these hormone and mineral alterations.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant public health concern associated with significant morbidity and has become one of the foremost global causes of death in recent years. A frequent comorbidity of CKD is secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), exemplified by high serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. The mineral metabolism disturbances resulting from CKD and progression to SHPT are currently considered part of the definition of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). However, CKD-MBD does not only include abnormalities in laboratory-measured parameters; it is a complex condition characterized by dysregulation of bone turnover, mineralization, growth and strength, accompanied by vascular or another soft-tissue calcification. Together, this increases the risk of bone fractures, cardiovascular disease, and overall mortality in CKD-MBD patients. Monitoring serum markers is essential in diagnosing SHPT and CKD-MBD, and there are several recognized indicators for prognosis, optimal clinical management and treatment response in late-stage kidney disease patients receiving dialysis. However, far fewer markers have been established for patients with non-dialysis CKD. This review provides an overview of current and emerging markers and tools used in the diagnosis and management of CKD-MBD in non-dialysis adult patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Osteoporosis is a systemic disease characterized by decreased bone strength and an increased risk of fracture in old age. Age and pathologic renal failure are independent risk factors for osteoporosis. However, it is not determined whether age-related decreased renal function, in the context of senescence, can be considered as an independent risk factor for osteoporosis. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of senescence-induced renal failure on bone quality and trabecular bone score. METHODS This study used a cross-sectional design and was carried out based on data collected during the Bushehr Elderly Health (BEH) program, Phase II. A total of 2,125 elderly participants aged over 60 years old entered the study after meeting the inclusion criteria and providing informed consent. They underwent examinations for weight, height, abdominal and hip circumference, as well as blood pressure measurement. All participants also underwent DXA to assess bone mass density (BMD). Trabecular bone score (TBS) was calculated using the DXA apparatus software output. Univariate and adjusted multivariate linear regression analyses were used to evaluate the associations. RESULTS In the univariate linear regression analysis, there was a direct correlation between age-related renal failure and TBS (β = 0.038, p < 0.0001), neck of femur BMD (β = 0.047, p < 0.0001), and lumbar BMD (β = 0.055, p < 0.0001). However, after adjusting for BMI, age, sex, smoking, and physical activity, no significant association was observed for these variables. CONCLUSION It is hypothesized that age-related renal failure cannot be considered as an independent risk factor for osteoporosis in elderly individuals aged over 60 years old.

Biomedicines 2023; 11:2076. [PMID: 37509715 PMCID: PMC10377042 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11072076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 07/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) often experience a high accumulation of protein-bound uremic toxins (PBUTs), specifically indoxyl sulfate (IS) and p-cresyl sulfate (pCS). In the early stages of CKD, the buildup of PBUTs inhibits bone and muscle function. As CKD progresses, elevated PBUT levels further hinder bone turnover and exacerbate muscle wasting. In the late stage of CKD, hyperparathyroidism worsens PBUT-induced muscle damage but can improve low bone turnover. PBUTs play a significant role in reducing both the quantity and quality of bone by affecting osteoblast and osteoclast lineage. IS, in particular, interferes with osteoblastogenesis by activating aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) signaling, which reduces the expression of Runx2 and impedes osteoblast differentiation. High PBUT levels can also reduce calcitriol production, increase the expression of Wnt antagonists (SOST, DKK1), and decrease klotho expression, all of which contribute to low bone turnover disorders. Furthermore, PBUT accumulation leads to continuous muscle protein breakdown through the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory cytokines. Interactions between muscles and bones, mediated by various factors released from individual tissues, play a crucial role in the mutual modulation of bone and muscle in CKD. Exercise and nutritional therapy have the potential to yield favorable outcomes. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of bone and muscle loss in CKD can aid in developing new therapies for musculoskeletal diseases, particularly those related to bone loss and muscle wasting.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a highly prevalent disease that has become a public health problem. Progression of CKD is associated with serious complications, including the systemic CKD-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). Laboratory, bone and vascular abnormalities define this condition, and all have been independently related to cardiovascular disease and high mortality rates. The "old" cross-talk between kidney and bone (classically known as "renal osteodystrophies") has been recently expanded to the cardiovascular system, emphasizing the importance of the bone component of CKD-MBD. Moreover, a recently recognized higher susceptibility of patients with CKD to falls and bone fractures led to important paradigm changes in the new CKD-MBD guidelines. Evaluation of bone mineral density and the diagnosis of "osteoporosis" emerges in nephrology as a new possibility "if results will impact clinical decisions". Obviously, it is still reasonable to perform a bone biopsy if knowledge of the type of renal osteodystrophy will be clinically useful (low versus high turnover-bone disease). However, it is now considered that the inability to perform a bone biopsy may not justify withholding antiresorptive therapies to patients with high risk of fracture. This view adds to the effects of parathyroid hormone in CKD patients and the classical treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism. The availability of new antiosteoporotic treatments bring the opportunity to come back to the basics, and the knowledge of new pathophysiological pathways [OPG/RANKL (LGR4); Wnt-ß-catenin pathway], also affected in CKD, offers great opportunities to further unravel the complex physiopathology of CKD-MBD and to improve outcomes.

Early renal impairment affects hormonal regulators of calcium and bone metabolism and Wnt signalling and the response to vitamin D supplementation in healthy older adults. J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol 2023; 229:106267. [PMID: 36739953 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsbmb.2023.106267] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2022] [Revised: 01/28/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
Bone and renal metabolism are regulated by common factors and there is extensive cross-talk between these organs (the 'renal-bone-axis'). Ageing is associated with physiological changes including reduced bone mass, renal function and tissue sensitivity to regulatory hormones, impacting the renal-bone axis. We aimed to investigate the influence of estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) on plasma concentrations of vitamin D metabolites, Wnt signalling and bone metabolism in a dose ranging vitamin D3 RCT (12,000 IU, 24,000 IU, 48,000 IU/month for 1 year; n = 379, >70 y) with a baseline eGFR > 30 mL/min/1.73 m2. Participants were categorised on basis of eGFR (≥60 or mL/min/1.73 m2) based on 5 commonly used algorithms for eGFR. Differences between eGFR categories were tested with ANCOVA. Before supplementation commenced, a lower eGFR was associated with significantly higher concentrations of c-terminal and intact Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 (cFGF23; iFGF23), intact Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH) and Sclerostin (SOST) and lower Klotho, 1,25-dihydroxy Vitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) and Dickkopf-related Protein 1 (DKK1) concentrations. Differences between eGFR groups in 25-hydroxy Vitamin D (25(OH)D), 24,25-dihydroxy Vitamin D (24,25(OH)2D) and iPTH were only detected with eGFR based on Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) and Modification in Diet for Renal Disease (MDRD-4) algorithms. Differences in Bone Mineral Density and Content (BMD; BMC) and bone turnover markers were detected only with Cockcroft-Gault (CG). Pre- and post- supplementation comparisons showed differences in the response to supplementation by eGFR group. Plasma 25(OH)D, 24,25(OH)2D, 1,25(OH)2D and DKK1 increased and iPTH and C-terminal telopeptide (CTX) decreased in both groups. Plasma iFGF23, bone specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) and Procollagen 1 intact N-terminal Propeptide (PINP) increased and phosphate decreased only in the group with eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Findings were largely consistent across all eGFR algorithms. Post-supplementation, cFGF23, iFGF23, iPTH and SOST remained significantly higher in the lower eGFR group. Plasma 1,25(OH)2D and Klotho did no longer differ between eGFR groups. This was found for all eGFR algorithms, with the exception of iPTH and iFGF23, which were not significantly different with eGFR based on CG. Differences in BMD and BMC were detected with CKD-EPI-creatinine and MDRD-4 but not GC. This study showed that even a moderate decline in eGFR is associated with alterations in vitamin D metabolism, Wnt signalling and bone turnover markers. Renal function influenced the response to vitamin D supplementation. Supplementation increased Vitamin D metabolites in the group with moderate renal impairment to concentrations comparable to those found in the group with normal renal function. However, although CTX decreased, an increase in bone formation markers was not found in the group with eGFR 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. In conclusion, vitamin D supplementation had beneficial effects on markers of the renal-bone axis in older people with both normal and impaired renal function.

Abstract
The initial phases of molecular and cellular maladaptive bone responses in early chronic kidney disease (CKD) remain mostly unknown. We induced mild CKD in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) by either causing arterial hypertension lasting six months (sham-operated rats, SO6) or in its' combination with 3/4 nephrectomy lasting two and six months (Nx2 and Nx6, respectively). Sham-operated SHRs (SO2) and Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY2) with a two-month follow-up served as controls. Animals were fed standard chow containing 0.6% phosphate. Upon follow-up completion in each animal, we measured creatinine clearance, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio, renal interstitial fibrosis, inorganic phosphate (Pi) exchange, intact parathyroid hormone (PTH), fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), Klotho, Dickkopf-1, sclerostin, and assessed bone response by static histomorphometry and gene expression profiles. The mild CKD groups had no increase in renal Pi excretion, FGF23, or PTH levels. Serum Pi, Dickkopf-1, and sclerostin were higher in Nx6. A decrease in trabecular bone area and osteocyte number was obvious in SO6. Nx2 and Nx6 had additionally lower osteoblast numbers. The decline in eroded perimeter, a resorption index, was only apparent in Nx6. Significant downregulation of genes related to Pi transport, MAPK, WNT, and BMP signaling accompanied histological alterations in Nx2 and Nx6. We found an association between mild CKD and histological and molecular features suggesting lower bone turnover, which occurred at normal levels of systemic Pi-regulating factors.

Abstract
This year marks the 63rd anniversary of the International Society of Nephrology, which signaled nephrology's emergence as a modern medical discipline. In this article, we briefly trace the course of nephrology's history to show a clear arc in its evolution-of increasing resolution in nephrological data-an arc that is converging with computational capabilities to enable precision nephrology. In general, precision medicine refers to tailoring treatment to the individual characteristics of patients. For an operational definition, this tailoring takes the form of an optimization, in which treatments are selected to maximize a patient's expected health with respect to all available data. Because modern health data are large and high resolution, this optimization process requires computational intervention, and it must be tuned to the contours of specific medical disciplines. An advantage of this operational definition for precision medicine is that it allows us to better understand what precision medicine means in the context of a specific medical discipline. The goal of this article was to demonstrate how to instantiate this definition of precision medicine for the field of nephrology. Correspondingly, the goal of precision nephrology was to answer two related questions: ( 1 ) How do we optimize kidney health with respect to all available data? and ( 2 ) How do we optimize general health with respect to kidney data?

Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) inevitably develop mineral and bone disorders (CKD–MBD), which negatively impact their survival and quality of life. For a better understanding of underlying pathophysiology and identification of novel therapeutic approaches, mouse models are essential. CKD can be induced by surgical reduction of a functional kidney mass, by nephrotoxic compounds and by genetic engineering specifically interfering with kidney development. These models develop a large range of bone diseases, recapitulating different types of human CKD–MBD and associated sequelae, including vascular calcifications. Bones are usually studied by quantitative histomorphometry, immunohistochemistry and micro-CT, but alternative strategies have emerged, such as longitudinal in vivo osteoblast activity quantification by tracer scintigraphy. The results gained from the CKD–MBD mouse models are consistent with clinical observations and have provided significant knowledge on specific pathomechanisms, bone properties and potential novel therapeutic strategies. This review discusses available mouse models to study bone disease in CKD.

Abstract
Phosphorus is an essential micromineral with a key role in cellular metabolism and tissue structure. Serum phosphorus is maintained in a homeostatic range by the intestines, bones, and kidneys. This process is coordinated by the endocrine system through the highly integrated actions of several hormones, including FGF23, PTH, Klotho, and 1,25D. The excretion kinetics of the kidney after diet phosphorus load or the serum phosphorus kinetics during hemodialysis support that there is a "pool" for temporary phosphorus storage, leading to the maintenance of stable serum phosphorus levels. Phosphorus overload refers to a state where the phosphorus load is higher than is physiologically necessary. It can be caused by a persistently high-phosphorus diet, renal function decline, bone disease, insufficient dialysis, and inappropriate medications, and includes but is not limited to hyperphosphatemia. Serum phosphorus is still the most commonly used indicator of phosphorus overload. Trending phosphorus levels to see if they are chronically elevated is recommended instead of a single test when judging phosphorus overload. Future studies are needed to validate the prognostic role of a new marker or markers of phosphorus overload.

Zhang X, Li T, Wang L, Li Y, Ruan T, Guo X, Wang Q, Meng X. Relative comparison of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder rat models. Front Physiol 2023; 14:1083725. [PMID: 36818435 PMCID: PMC9936098 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2023.1083725] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/18/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to establish a suitable animal model of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) by comparing CKD-MBD rat models induced by 5/6 Nx, AN, and UUO, accompanied by a low-calcium and high-phosphorus diet. Methods: Sprague‒Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group, 5/6 nephrectomy (5/6 Nx) group, Adriamycin nephropathy (AN) group, and unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) group. Serum biochemical indices were measured to evaluate renal function, mineral and bone metabolism, the severity of CKD-MBD, and the status of bone transformation. Hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE) and Masson's trichrome (Masson) staining were used for histopathological analysis of the kidney. Goldner's trichrome (Goldner) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining were utilized to observe bone mineralization and osteoclasts in the femur, respectively. Micro-CT images were applied to study the structure of the femur. The expression levels of osterix and cathepsin K in the femur were measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC) to confirm the status of bone transformation. Results: The levels of serum creatinine (Scr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in the 5/6 Nx and AN group rats were significantly higher than those in the control rats, and this change was accompanied by marked changes in the levels of calcium (Ca), phosphate (Pi), intact parathyroid hormone (i-PTH), fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), osteocalcin (OC), and cross-linked C-telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX-1); UUO group rats exhibited slight and inconsistent variations in the levels of Scr, BUN, Ca, Pi, i-PTH, FGF23, OC, and CTX-1 in serum. Histopathological analysis of the kidney showed that the UUO group rats suffered serious fibrosis and 5/6 Nx group rats exhibited severe focal calcification. Histopathological analysis of the femur showed that the AN group rats had minimal bone mineralization and that the 5/6 Nx group rats had overactive osteoclasts. Micro-CT revealed that the AN model had the most severe bone destruction and that the 5/6 Nx model had the least severe bone loss among the three models. The expression of cathepsin K in the femur was significantly increased in all models, while the expression of osterix in the femur was only significantly increased in the 5/6 Nx model. Conclusion: 5/6 Nx, AN, and UUO accompanied by a low-calcium and high-phosphorus diet successfully induced CKD-MBD in rats. The 5/6 NX model presented the progression of high-turnover bone disease, with consistency between biochemical indices in serum and histomorphometric analysis of the femur, and the AN and UUO models developed a severe deterioration in bone quantity and severe bone resorption; however, the changes in biochemical indices were subtle in the UUO model, and liver injury was obvious in the AN model.

Abstract
Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) comprises alterations in calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone (PTH), Vitamin D, and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) metabolism, abnormalities in bone turnover, mineralization, volume, linear growth or strength, and vascular calcification leading to an increase in bone fractures and vascular disease, which ultimately result in high morbidity and mortality. The bone component of CKD-MBD, referred to as renal osteodystrophy, starts early during the course of CKD as a result of the effects of progressive reduction in kidney function which modify the tight interaction between mineral, hormonal, and other biochemical mediators of cell function that ultimately lead to bone disease. In addition, other factors, such as osteoporosis not apparently dependent on the typical pathophysiologic abnormalities resulting from altered kidney function, may accompany the different varieties of renal osteodystrophy leading to an increment in the risk of bone fracture. After kidney transplantation, these bone alterations and others directly associated or not with changes in kidney function may persist, progress or transform into a different entity due to new pathogenetic mechanisms. With time, these alterations may improve or worsen depending to a large extent on the restoration of kidney function and correction of the metabolic abnormalities developed during the course of CKD. In this paper, we review the bone lesions that occur during both CKD progression and after kidney transplant and analyze the factors involved in their pathogenesis as a means to raise awareness of their complexity and interrelationship.

Abstract
Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) is a common complication of end-stage kidney disease that often starts early with loss of kidney function, and it is considered an integral part in management of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Adynamic bone (ADB) is characterized by suppressed bone formation, low cellularity, and thin osteoid seams. There is accumulating evidence supporting increasing prevalence of ADB, particularly in early CKD. Contemporarily, it is not very clear whether it represents a true disease, an adaptive mechanism to prevent bone resorption, or just a transitional stage. Several co-players are incriminated in its pathogenesis, such as age, diabetes mellitus, malnutrition, uremic milieu, and iatrogenic factors. In the present review, we will discuss the up-to-date knowledge of the ADB and focus on its impact on bone health, fracture risk, vascular calcification, and long-term survival. Moreover, we will emphasize the proper preventive and management strategies of ADB that are pivotal issues in managing patients with CKD. It is still unclear whether ADB is always a pathologic condition or whether it can represent an adaptive process to suppress bone resorption and further bone loss. In this article, we tried to discuss this hard topic based on the available limited information in patients with CKD. More studies are needed to be able to clearly address this frequent ROD finding.

Abstract
Patients with CKD have a 4-fivefold higher rate of fractures. The incidence of fractures increases with deterioration of kidney function. The process of skeletal changes in CKD patients is characterized by compromised bone strength because of deterioration of bone quantity and/or quality. The fractures lead to a deleterious effect on the quality of life and higher mortality in patients with CKD. The pathogenesis of bone loss and fracture is complex and multi-factorial. Renal osteodystrophy, uremic milieu, drugs, and systemic diseases that lead to renal failure all contribute to bone damage in CKD patients. There is no consensus on the optimal diagnostic method of compromised bone assessment in patients with CKD. Bone quantity and mass can be assessed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) or quantitative computed tomography (QCT). Bone quality on the other side can be assessed by non-invasive methods such as trabecular bone score (TBS), high-resolution bone imaging methods, and invasive bone biopsy. Bone turnover markers can reflect bone remodeling, but some of them are retained by kidneys. Understanding the mechanism of bone loss is pivotal in preventing fracture in patients with CKD. Several non-pharmacological and therapeutic interventions have been reported to improve bone health. Controlling laboratory abnormalities of CKD-MBD is crucial. Anti-resorptive therapies are effective in improving BMD and reducing fracture risk, but there are uncertainties about safety and efficacy especially in advanced CKD patients. Accepting the prevalent of low bone turnover in patients with advanced CKD, the osteo-anabolics are possibly promising. Parathyroidectomy should be considered a last resort for intractable cases of renal hyperparathyroidism. There is a wide unacceptable gap in osteoporosis management in patients with CKD. This article is focusing on the updated management of CKD-MBD and osteoporosis in CKD patients. Chronic kidney disease deteriorates bone quality and quantity. The mechanism of bone loss mainly determines pharmacological treatment. DXA and QCT provide information about bone quantity, but assessing bone quality, by TBS, high-resolution bone imaging, invasive bone biopsy, and bone turnover markers, can guide us about the mechanism of bone loss.

Abstract
Introduction Little is known about the consequences of deranged chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) parameters on kidney allograft function in children. We examined a relationship between these parameters over time and allograft outcome. Methods This registry study from the Cooperative European Paediatric Renal Transplant Initiative (CERTAIN) collected data at baseline, months 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 after transplant; and every 6 months thereafter up to 5 years. Survival analysis for a composite end point of graft loss or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≤30 ml/min per 1.73 m2 or a ≥50% decline from eGFR at month 1 posttransplant was performed. Associations of parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium, phosphate, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) with allograft outcome were investigated using conventional stratified Cox proportional hazards models and further verified with marginal structural models with time-varying covariates. Results We report on 1210 patients (61% boys) from 16 European countries. The composite end point was reached in 250 grafts (21%), of which 11 (4%) were allograft losses. In the conventional Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for potential confounders, only hyperparathyroidism (hazard ratio [HR], 2.94; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.82-4.74) and hyperphosphatemia (HR, 1.94; 95% CI, 1.28-2.92) were associated with the composite end point. Marginal structural models showed similar results for hyperparathyroidism (HR, 2.74; 95% CI, 1.71-4.38), whereas hyperphosphatemia was no longer significant (HR, 1.35; 95% CI, 0.87-2.09), suggesting that its association with graft dysfunction can be ascribed to a decline in eGFR. Conclusion Hyperparathyroidism is a potential independent risk factor for allograft dysfunction in children.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorders (CKD-MBD) is a common complication of CKD Stages 3-5. Hyperphosphatemia is one of the major metabolic components of CKD-MBD, frequently resulting in vascular calcification (VC) in advanced-stage patients. Also, a long duration of renal replacement therapy can cause the worsening of VC, leading to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Vascular smooth muscle cells play an important role in the development of VC through osteochondrogenic transformation and the apoptotic process. It has been shown that mitochondrial dysfunction is involved with CKD progression, and excessive oxidative stress can aggravate osteoblastic transformation and VC. Currently, novel interventions targeting mitochondrial function and dynamics, in addition to mitochondrial antioxidants, have been studied with the aim of attenuating VC. This review aims to comprehensively summarize and discuss the experimental and clinical reports concerning mitochondrial studies, along with the purpose of interventions that can improve the outcomes of VC among CKD patients.

Increased PHOSPHO1 expression mediates cortical bone mineral density in renal osteodystrophy. J Endocrinol 2022; 254:153-167.

Abstract
Patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) often present with skeletal abnormalities, a condition known as renal osteodystrophy (ROD). While tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) and PHOSPHO1 are critical for bone mineralization, their role in the etiology of ROD is unclear. To address this, ROD was induced in both WT and Phospho1 knockout (P1KO) mice through dietary adenine supplementation. The mice presented with hyperphosphatemia, hyperparathyroidism, and elevated levels of FGF23 and bone turnover markers. In particular, we noted that in CKD mice, bone mineral density (BMD) was increased in cortical bone (P < 0.05) but decreased in trabecular bone (P < 0.05). These changes were accompanied by decreased TNAP (P < 0.01) and increased PHOSPHO1 (P < 0.001) expression in WT CKD bones. In P1KO CKD mice, the cortical BMD phenotype was rescued, suggesting that the increased cortical BMD of CKD mice was driven by increased PHOSPHO1 expression. Other structural parameters were also improved in P1KO CKD mice. We further investigated the driver of the mineralization defects, by studying the effects of FGF23, PTH, and phosphate administration on PHOSPHO1 and TNAP expression by primary murine osteoblasts. We found both PHOSPHO1 and TNAP expressions to be downregulated in response to phosphate and PTH. The in vitro data suggest that the TNAP reduction in CKD-MBD is driven by the hyperphosphatemia and/or hyperparathyroidism noted in these mice, while the higher PHOSPHO1 expression may be a compensatory mechanism. Increased PHOSPHO1 expression in ROD may contribute to the disordered skeletal mineralization characteristic of this progressive disorder.

Abstract
Renal osteodystrophy is common in patients with chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease and leads to the risks of fracture and extraosseous vascular calcification. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is characterized by a compensatory increase in parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion in response to decreased renal phosphate excretion, resulting in potentiating bone resorption and decreased bone quantity and quality. Calcium-sensing receptors (CaSRs) are group C G-proteins and negatively regulate the parathyroid glands through (1) increasing CaSR insertion within the plasma membrane, (2) increasing 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 within the kidney and parathyroid glands, (3) inhibiting fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in osteocytes, and (4) attenuating intestinal calcium absorption through Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid subfamily member 6 (TRPV6). Calcimimetics (CaMs) decrease PTH concentrations without elevating the serum calcium levels or extraosseous calcification through direct interaction with cell membrane CaSRs. CaMs reduce osteoclast activity by reducing stress-induced oxidative autophagy and improving Wnt-10b release, which promotes the growth of osteoblasts and subsequent mineralization. CaMs also directly promote osteoblast proliferation and survival. Consequently, bone quality may improve due to decreased bone resorption and improved bone formation. CaMs modulate cardiovascular fibrosis, calcification, and renal fibrosis through different mechanisms. Therefore, CaMs assist in treating SHPT. This narrative review focuses on the role of CaMs in renal osteodystrophy, including their mechanisms and clinical efficacy.

Inactivation of Osteoblast PKC Signaling Reduces Cortical Bone Mass and Density and Aggravates Renal Osteodystrophy in Mice with Chronic Kidney Disease on High Phosphate Diet. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23126404. [PMID: 35742850 PMCID: PMC9223847 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23126404] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2022] [Revised: 06/01/2022] [Accepted: 06/06/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) frequently leads to hyperphosphatemia and hyperparathyroidism, mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD), ectopic calcifications and cardiovascular mortality. PTH activates the osteoanabolic Gαs/PKA and the Gαq/11/PKC pathways in osteoblasts, the specific impact of the latter in CKD-MBD is unknown. We generated osteoblast specific Gαq/11 knockout (KO) mice and established CKD-MBD by subtotal nephrectomy and dietary phosphate load. Bone morphology was assessed by micro-CT, osteoblast function by bone planar scintigraphy at week 10 and 22 and by histomorphometry. Osteoblasts isolated from Gαq/11 KO mice increased cAMP but not IP3 in response to PTH 1-34, demonstrating the specific KO of the PKC signaling pathway. Osteoblast specific Gαq/11 KO mice exhibited increased serum calcium and reduced bone cortical thickness and mineral density at 24 weeks. CKD Gαq/11 KO mice had similar bone morphology compared to WT, while CKD Gαq/11-KO on high phosphate diet developed decreased metaphyseal and diaphyseal cortical thickness and area, as well as a reduction in trabecular number. Gαq/11-KO increased bone scintigraphic tracer uptake at week 10 and mitigated tracer uptake in CKD mice at week 22. Histological bone parameters indicated similar trends. Gαq/11-KO in osteoblast modulates calcium homeostasis, bone formation rate, bone morphometry, and bone mineral density. In CKD and high dietary phosphate intake, osteoblast Gαq/11/PKC KO further aggravates mineral bone disease.

Abstract
Hyperparathyroidism is one of the most common endocrine disorders worldwide. In countries where routine biochemical screening is not common, symptomatic hyperparathyroidism predominates. Its manifestations include skeletal alterations, calcification of soft tissues, kidney stones, and functional alterations in other systems. Notably, jaw alterations can be the first clinical sign of hyperparathyroidism, including brown tumor, renal osteodystrophy, osteitis fibrosa, and leontiasis ossea, and knowing such conditions is of core importance for the multidisciplinary diagnosis and management of hyperparathyroidism. We aimed to perform a concise review, systematizing the concepts and mechanisms underlying hyperparathyroidism and associated gnathic alterations. In addition, a detailed description of the clinical aspects of the jaw manifestations is presented.

Abstract
Sclerostin, a glycoprotein encoded by the SOST gene, is mainly produced by mature osteocytes and is a critical regulator of bone formation through its inhibitory effect on Wnt signaling. Osteocytes are differentiated osteoblasts that form a vast and highly complex communication network and orchestrate osteogenesis in response to both mechanical and hormonal cues. The three most commonly described pathways of SOST gene regulation are mechanotransduction, Wnt/β-catenin, and steroid signaling. Downregulation of SOST and thereby upregulation of local Wnt signaling is required for the osteogenic response to mechanical loading. This review covers recent findings concerning the identification of SOST, in vitro regulation of SOST gene expression, structural and functional properties of sclerostin, pathophysiology, biological variability, and recent assay developments for measuring circulating sclerostin. The three-dimensional structure of human sclerostin was generated with the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database applying a novel deep learning algorithm based on the amino acid sequence. The functional properties of the 3-loop conformation within the tertiary structure of sclerostin and molecular interaction with low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6) are also reviewed. Second-generation immunoassays for intact/biointact sclerostin have recently been developed, which might overcome some of the reported methodological obstacles. Sclerostin assay standardization would be a long-term objective to overcome some of the problems with assay discrepancies. Besides the use of age- and sex-specific reference intervals for sclerostin, it is also pivotal to use assay-specific reference intervals since available immunoassays vary widely in their methodological characteristics.

Abstract
Fragility fracture is a worldwide problem and a main cause of disability and impaired quality of life. It is primarily caused by osteoporosis, characterized by impaired bone quantity and or quality. Proper diagnosis of osteoporosis is essential for prevention of fragility fractures. Osteoporosis can be primary in postmenopausal women because of estrogen deficiency. Secondary forms of osteoporosis are not uncommon in both men and women. Most systemic illnesses and organ dysfunction can lead to osteoporosis. The kidney plays a crucial role in maintaining physiological bone homeostasis by controlling minerals, electrolytes, acid-base, vitamin D and parathyroid function. Chronic kidney disease with its uremic milieu disturbs this balance, leading to renal osteodystrophy. Diabetes mellitus represents the most common secondary cause of osteoporosis. Thyroid and parathyroid disorders can dysregulate the osteoblast/osteoclast functions. Gastrointestinal disorders, malnutrition and malabsorption can result in mineral and vitamin D deficiencies and bone loss. Patients with chronic liver disease have a higher risk of fracture due to hepatic osteodystrophy. Proinflammatory cytokines in infectious, autoimmune, and hematological disorders can stimulate osteoclastogenesis, leading to osteoporosis. Moreover, drug-induced osteoporosis is not uncommon. In this review, we focus on causes, pathogenesis, and management of secondary osteoporosis.

Abstract
Objective Using a newly released National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data of serum Klotho, this study aimed to explore the relationship between Klotho and specific cardiovascular diseases (CVD), as well as the mediation effect of renal function, among middle-aged and older individuals within the general population. Methods This nationally representative cross-sectional study analyzed data from the 2007–2016 NHANES. A total of 13,765 participants, who aged 40 years or older, from the general population were examined. Klotho were divided into four groups based on median and interquartile range. The associations among Klotho (exposure), congestive heart failure (CHF; outcome), and renal function markers [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), uric acid (UA), and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR); mediators] were investigated using mediation analysis. Results In comparison to the lowest quartile, Klotho in the highest quartile was independently associated with the prevalence of CHF (OR 0.59; 95% CI 0.46–0.77, p for trend = 0.001), but not with other individual CVDs. Klotho had a significant direct effect on the prevalence of CHF (all p < 0.001), while eGFR, BUN, UA, and UACR partly mediated the indirect effect of Klotho on the prevalence of CHF (all p < 0.05), explaining 19.51, 6.98, 13.93, and 0.71% of the association between Klotho and CHF, respectively. Additionally, restricted cubic spline regression demonstrated a linear association and negative correlation between Klotho level and CHF. Conclusion These findings suggest that Klotho is closely linked to CHF and renal function may be a key mediator of this association.

Abstract
Introduction Limited information is available on renal osteodystrophy (ROD) and vascular calcification (VC) during early chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study was designed to evaluate ROD and VC in 32 patients with CKD stages II to IV. Methods Patients underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for assessment of bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone score (TBS), thoracic computed tomography for VC scoring using the Agatston method, and anterior iliac crest bone biopsy for mineralized bone histology, histomorphometry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Classical and novel bone markers were determined in the blood. Results Mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 44 ± 16 ml/min per 1.73 m2. Of the patients, 84% had low bone turnover. In Whites, eGFR correlated negatively with the turnover parameter activation frequency (Ac.f) (r −0.48, P = 0.019) and with parameters of bone formation. Most patients had VC (>80%) which correlated positively with levels of phosphorus, c-terminal fibroblast growth factor-23, and activin. Aortic calcifications (ACs) correlated negatively with bone formation rate (BFR) and Ac.f (rho −0.62, −0.61, P < 0.001). TBS correlated negatively with coronary calcification (rho −0.42, P = 0.019) and AC (rho −0.57, P = 0.001). These relationships remained after adjustment of age. The mineral-to-matrix ratio, an FTIR metric reflecting bone quality, was negatively related to Ac.f and positively related to AC. Conclusion Low bone turnover and VC are predominant in early stages of CKD. This is the first study demonstrating mineral abnormalities indicating reduced bone quality in these stages of CKD.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and predictors of asymptomatic vertebral fracture in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis. Methods This cross-sectional study included 80 patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis. Medical history, Fracture Risk Assessment Tool and anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of the thoracolumbar and lumbosacral spine were obtained. Vertebral fractures were identified using the Genant semiquantitative assessment. Results Radiography demonstrated asymptomatic vertebral fracture in 22 patients (27.5%). FRAX® results for major osteoporotic fracture (area under the curve, 0.64) and hip fracture (area under the curve, 0.62) were able to discriminate patients with prevalent asymptomatic vertebral fracture. A multivariate analysis demonstrated that a 1-year average corrected calcium (odds ratio, 0.38), steroid use (odds ratio, 8.99), and a serum albumin concentration <25 g/dL (odds ratio, 28.82) significantly predicted prevalent asymptomatic vertebral fracture (clinical model; area under the curve, 0.82). Combining the 1-year average corrected calcium and serum albumin concentration <25 g/dL with FRAX® results for major osteoporotic fracture (area under the curve, 0.78) and FRAX® results for hip (area under the curve, 0.75) produced a significantly greater area under the curve value to predict fracture when compared with FRAX® result for major osteoporotic fracture and FRAX® result for hip (P = 0.022). Conclusion Asymptomatic vertebral fracture is prevalent. FRAX® results for major osteoporotic fracture and hip provided lower ability in predicting asymptomatic vertebral facture when compared to the clinical model. Combining a 1-year average corrected calcium and serum albumin concentration <25 g/dL with FRAX® result for major osteoporotic fracture or hip improved the model's performance and provided comparable area under the curve to the clinical model.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) negatively affects bone strength; however, the osteoporotic conditions in patients with CKD are not fully understood. Moreover, the changes in bone microstructure between pre-dialysis and dialysis are unknown. High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) reveals the three-dimensional microstructures of the bone. We aimed to evaluate bone microstructures in patients with different stages of CKD. This study included 119 healthy men and 40 men admitted to Nagasaki University Hospital for inpatient education or the initiation of hemodialysis. The distal radius and tibia were scanned with HR-pQCT. Patient clinical characteristics and bone microstructures were evaluated within 3 months of initiation of hemodialysis (in patients with CKD stage 5 D), patients with CKD stage 4–5, and healthy volunteers. Cortical bone parameters were lower in the CKD group than in healthy controls. Tibial cortical and trabecular bone parameters (cortical thickness, cortical area, trabecular volumetric bone mineral density, trabecular-bone volume fraction, and trabecular thickness) differed between patients with CKD stage 5 D and those with CKD stage 4–5 (p < 0.01). These differences were also observed between patients with CKD stage 5 and those with CKD stage 5 D (p < 0.017), but not between patients with CKD stage 4 and those with CKD stage 5, suggesting that the bone microstructure rapidly changed at the start of hemodialysis. Patients with CKD stage 5 D exhibited tibial microstructural impairment compared with those with CKD stage 4–5. HR-pQCT is useful for elucidation of the pathology of bone microstructures in patients with renal failure.

Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:822178. [PMID: 35222037 PMCID: PMC8873386 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.822178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2021] [Accepted: 01/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with bone and mineral metabolism. In this study we evaluated the comparative efficacies and safety of osteoporosis medications in patients with CKD or a history of kidney transplantation, and make recommendations for the best choice of osteoporosis treatment among patients with CKD or a history of kidney transplantation. Methods: We systemically searched for randomized controlled trials published in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases up to June 2020. Network-meta analysis was used to compare the relative effectiveness of different treatments. A random-effects model was used when heterogeneity was expected. The safety of different treatments was also evaluated in terms of reported major adverse events. Results: A total of 17 studies with data from 10,214 patients who had stage 2–5 CKD, were receiving dialysis, or had a history of kidney transplantation were included in the network meta-analysis. Treatment with teriparatide, denosumab, alendronate, and raloxifene were all associated with a significantly reduced risk of fractures compared to treatment with placebos [teriparatide: odds ratio (OR) = 0.19, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.10–0.35; denosumab: OR = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.27–0.58; alendronate: OR = 0.61, 95% CI: 0.40–0.92; raloxifene: OR = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.41–0.67]. The rank probability and the surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) values suggested that teriparatide ranked the highest for improvement in vertebral bone mineral density (BMD) (SUCRA = 97.8%), whereas denosumab ranked the highest for improvement in femoral neck BMD (SUCRA = 88.3%). Conclusion: Teriparatide and denosumab seem to be the most effective treatments for preventing bone loss and reducing the risk of fracture in our network comparison. However, because of the limitations and potential biases in the reviewed studies, there is still some uncertainty about the best treatment options for osteoporosis in patients with CKD or a history of kidney transplantation.

Abstract
Background Although it is well known that low bone mineral density (BMD) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality in the general population, the prognostic role of bone mineral density (BMD) has not been established in the chronic kidney disease (CKD) population. Therefore we aimed to evaluate the association between BMD and the risk of CVD and cardiovascular mortality in patients with predialysis CKD. Methods This prospective cohort study was conducted with 1957 patients with predialysis CKD Stages 1–5. BMD was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and coronary arterial calcification (CAC) scores were evaluated using coronary computed tomography. The primary outcome was a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE). Results When patients were classified based on total hip BMD T-score tertiles stratified by sex, the lowest BMD tertile was significantly associated with an increased risk of MACE {hazard ratio 2.16 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.25–3.74]; P = 0.006}. This association was also shown with BMD at the femur neck but not with BMD at lumbar spine. In the subgroup of 977 patients with follow-up CACs at their fourth year, 97 (9.9%) showed accelerated CAC progression (>50/year), and BMD was inversely associated with accelerated CAC progression even after adjusting for the baseline CAC score [odds ratio 0.75 (95% CI 0.58–0.99); P = 0.039]. In addition, baseline CAC was associated with an increased risk of MACEs after adjusting for total hip T-score. Conclusions Low BMD was significantly associated with CAC progression and MACEs in patients with predialysis CKD.

Abstract
Bone fragility fractures remain an important worldwide health and economic problem due to increased morbidity and mortality. The current methods for predicting fractures are largely based on the measurement of bone mineral density and the utilization of mathematical risk calculators based on clinical risk factors for bone fragility. Despite these approaches, many bone fractures remain undiagnosed. Therefore, current research is focused on the identification of new factors such as bone turnover markers (BTM) for risk calculation. BTM are a group of proteins and peptides released during bone remodeling that can be found in serum or urine. They derive from bone resorptive and formative processes mediated by osteoclasts and osteoblasts, respectively. Potential use of BTM in monitoring these phenomenon and therefore bone fracture risk is limited by physiologic and pathophysiologic factors that influence BTM. These limitations in predicting fractures explain why their inclusion in clinical guidelines remains limited despite the large number of studies examining BTM.

Abstract
Background Disordered mineral and bone metabolism is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Bone biopsy remains the gold standard tool for evaluating renal osteodystrophy (ROD), but it is an invasive procedure. Despite a growing interest in the ability of newer bone biomarkers to discriminate between different forms of ROD, data on pre-dialysis patients are scarce. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in a cohort of 56 patients with CKD Stages 3 and 4. Participants underwent a transiliac bone biopsy after a course of double tetracycline labelling. Circulating levels of Wnt signalling inhibitors sclerostin and Dickkopf-1 (DKK1), soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (sRANKL) and osteoprotegerin were measured and correlated with histomorphometric analysis results. Results Most patients had abnormal bone histology and low-turnover bone disease was the predominant form of ROD. Characteristics associated with high bone turnover were worse renal function, lower serum calcium and higher intact parathyroid hormone and fibroblast growth factor-23 levels. Patients with low bone turnover, on the other hand, presented with higher sclerostin along with lower DKK1 and sRANKL levels. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, sclerostin and DKK1 levels were independently associated with low-turnover bone disease. Conclusions Our results suggest that circulating levels of Wnt signalling inhibitors sclerostin and DKK1 are predictive of low-turnover bone disease in patients not yet on dialysis. Further research is needed to assess the performance of these bone turnover biomarkers, compared with histomorphometric analysis, in the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of ROD.

Clin Ther 2021; 43:2013-2023. [PMID: 34774334 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinthera.2021.09.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2021] [Revised: 08/26/2021] [Accepted: 09/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study reports data from the first evaluation of etelcalcetide treatment in Chinese adults with chronic kidney disease and secondary hyperparathyroidism. METHODS This phase I, randomized study compared thrice-weekly etelcalcetide (5 mg per dose intravenously) and placebo in 33 Chinese adults (aged 18-70 years) receiving hemodialysis. Patients in both treatment groups received standard-of-care treatment with a total of 12 doses of the investigational product during a 4-week treatment period, followed by 4 weeks of washout and follow-up. Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters (primary endpoint), tolerability (secondary endpoint), and changes in intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and corrected calcium (cCa) concentrations (exploratory endpoints) were assessed. PK parameters, ie, the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC0-last), assessed over the interdialytic interval following the first and last doses were evaluated. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) and anti-etelcalcetide antibodies was assessed. FINDINGS Etelcalcetide administered to 25 patients was compared with placebo administered to 8 patients. Etelcalcetide exposure, assessed by Cmax and AUC0-last, increased after multiple-dose administration of etelcalcetide through day 27, with a mean (SD) accumulation ratio of 3.02 (0.61) based on AUC. At least one AE was reported for all patients in the etelcalcetide group and for 87.5% of patients in the placebo group. Serious AEs were reported in 12% of patients in the etelcalcetide group only. No deaths occurred, and a single discontinuation because of patient withdrawal of consent was reported in the etelcalcetide group. Preexisting anti-etelcalcetide antibodies were detected in one patient. The mean serum cCa level for all patients was maintained at >1.75 mmol/L. The iPTH and cCa concentrations decreased as expected, and a maximum mean decrease from baseline of 35.13% in iPTH levels was detected on day 27. IMPLICATIONS Multiple doses of 5 mg etelcalcetide were well tolerated, and observed etelcalcetide PK and safety profiles were similar to those in reports in adults of ethnicities other than Chinese. Changes in serum iPTH and serum calcium levels were consistent with expected responses to etelcalcetide. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03283098.

Toxic Effects of Indoxyl Sulfate on Osteoclastogenesis and Osteoblastogenesis. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222011265.

Abstract
Uremic toxins, such as indoxyl sulfate (IS) and kynurenine, accumulate in the blood in the event of kidney failure and contribute to further bone damage. To maintain the homeostasis of the skeletal system, bone remodeling is a persistent process of bone formation and bone resorption that depends on a dynamic balance of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that regulates the toxic effects of uremic toxins. IS is an endogenous AhR ligand and is metabolized from tryptophan. In osteoclastogenesis, IS affects the expression of the osteoclast precursor nuclear factor of activated T cells, cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1) through AhR signaling. It is possible to increase osteoclast differentiation with short-term and low-dose IS exposure and to decrease differentiation with long-term and/or high-dose IS exposure. Coincidentally, during osteoblastogenesis, through the AhR signaling pathway, IS inhibits the phosphorylation of ERK, and p38 reduces the expression of the transcription factor 2 (Runx2), disturbing osteoblastogenesis. The AhR antagonist resveratrol has a protective effect on the IS/AhR pathway. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the multifaceted role of AhR in CKD, as knowledge of these transcription signals could provide a safe and effective method to prevent and treat CKD mineral bone disease.

Abstract
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is an integral component of the chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). Many factors have been associated with the development and progression of SHPT but the presence of skeletal or calcemic resistance to the action of PTH in CKD has often gone unnoticed. The term hyporesponsiveness to PTH is currently preferred and, in this chapter, we will not only review the scientific timeline but also some of the molecular mechanisms behind. Moreover, the presence of resistance to the biological action of PTH is not unique in CKD since resistance to other hormones has also been described ("uremia as a receptor disease"). This hyporesponsiveness carries out important clinical implications since it explains, at least partially, not only the progressive nature of the pathogenesis of CKD-related PTH hypersecretion and parathyroid hyperplasia but also the increasing prevalence of adynamic bone disease in the CKD population. Therefore, we underline the importance of PTH control in all CKD stages, but not aiming to completely normalize PTH levels since a certain degree of SHPT may represent an adaptive clinical response. Future studies at the molecular level, i.e. on uremia or the recent description of the calcium-sensing receptor as a phosphate sensor, may become of great value beyond their significance to explain just the hyporesponsiveness to PTH in CKD.

Abstract
Secondary hyperparathyroidism and abnormalities in tryptophan (TRP) metabolism are commonly observed in chronic kidney disease (CKD). The present study aimed to establish potential interactions between endogenous parathyroid hormone (PTH) and activation of the bone kynurenine (KYN) pathway in relation to bone turnover and strength in young rats after one month (CKD-1) and three months (CKD-3) of experimental CKD. TRP, KYN, KYN/TRP ratio and bone turnover markers (BTMs) were measured in trabecular and cortical bone tissue. Expression of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and the genes involved in osteogenesis was determined in femoral bone. Biomechanical testing of femoral diaphysis and femoral neck was also performed. Activation of the KYN pathway in trabecular bone during CKD development intensified the expression of genes related to osteogenesis, which led to a decrease in cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and BTMs levels, resulting in a stiffer and mechanically weaker femoral neck. In contrast, reduction of the KYN pathway in cortical bone allowed to unblock the PTH-dependent anabolic activating transcription factor 4/parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH1R/ATF4) axis, led to cAMP accumulation, better bone turnover and strength in the course of CKD development. In summary, the paracrine KYN pathway in bone can interfere with the anabolic effects of PTH on bone through disrupting PTH-dependent molecular signaling.

Abstract
Background Parathyroidectomy (PTx) reportedly increases bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). To date, however, there has not been sufficient evidence on predictors of BMD improvement post-PTx for SHPT, an issue the present retrospective cohort study aimed to address. Methods A total of 173 SHPT patients who underwent total PTx with forearm autograft between 2009 and 2017 were included in the present study. Demographic information, perioperative laboratory data and pre- and post-PTx BMD values (measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) were collected from their medical records. The change in BMD post-PTx in the lumbar spine was evaluated as the primary outcome. Then, a multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed for a ≥ 10% increase in BMD post-PTx. Results Overall, the median BMD in the lumbar spine was increased by 8.7% post-PTx. The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age ≥ 70 years (P = 0.005; odds ratio [OR], 0.138; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.034–0.555), serum Ca level (P = 0.017; OR, 0.598; 95% CI: 0.392–0.911) and pre-PTx BMD in the lumbar spine (P = 0.003; OR, 0.013; 95% CI: 0.001–0.229) were negatively associated with a ≥ 10% increase in BMD post-PTx. Conclusion Our study demonstrated that presurgical age, serum Ca levels and BMD values could better predict an improvement in BMD post-PTx in SHPT patients.

The Influence of Dietary Interventions on Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD). Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13062065. [PMID: 34208727 PMCID: PMC8235119 DOI: 10.3390/nu13062065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2021] [Revised: 06/06/2021] [Accepted: 06/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease is a health problem whose prevalence is increasing worldwide. The kidney plays an important role in the metabolism of minerals and bone health and therefore, even at the early stages of CKD, disturbances in bone metabolism are observed. In the course of CKD, various bone turnover or mineralization disturbances can develop including adynamic hyperparathyroid, mixed renal bone disease, osteomalacia. The increased risk of fragility fractures is present at any age in these patients. Nutritional treatment of patients with advanced stages of CKD is aiming at prevention or correction of signs, symptoms of renal failure, avoidance of protein-energy wasting (PEW), delaying or prevention of the occurrence of mineral/bone disturbances, and delaying the start of dialysis. The results of studies suggest that progressive protein restriction is beneficial with the progression of renal insufficiency; however, other aspects of dietary management of CKD patients, including changes in sodium, phosphorus, and energy intake, as well as the source of protein and lipids (animal or plant origin) should also be considered carefully. Energy intake must cover patients' energy requirement, in order to enable correct metabolic adaptation in the course of protein-restricted regimens and prevent negative nitrogen balance and protein-energy wasting.

Abstract
Introduction: Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) represents a complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Vitamin D system is altered since early CKD, and vitamin D deficiency is an established trigger of SHPT. Although untreated SHPT may degenerate into tertiary hyperparathyroidism with detrimental consequences in advanced CKD, best treatments for counteracting SHPT from stage 3 CKD are still debated. Enthusiasm on prescription of vitamin D receptor activators (VDRA) in non-dialysis renal patients, has been mitigated by the risk of low bone turnover and positive calcium-phosphate balance. Nutritional vitamin D is now suggested as first-line therapy to treat SHPT with low 25(OH)D insufficiency. However, no high-grade evidence supports the best choice between ergocalciferol, cholecalciferol, and calcifediol (in its immediate or extended-release formulation).Areas covered: The review discusses available data on safety and efficacy of nutritional vitamin D, VDRA and nutritional therapy in replenishing 25(OH)D deficiency and counteracting SHPT in non-dialysis CKD patients.Expert opinion: Best treatment for low 25(OH)D and SHPT remains unknown, due to incomplete understanding of the best homeostatic, as mutable, adaptation of mineral metabolism to CKD progression. Nutritional vitamin D and nutritional therapy appear safest interventions, whenever contextualized with single-patient characteristics. VDRA should be restricted to uncontrolled SHPT by first-line therapy.

Differentiating the causes of adynamic bone in advanced chronic kidney disease informs osteoporosis treatment. Kidney Int 2021; 100:546-558. [PMID: 34102219 DOI: 10.1016/j.kint.2021.04.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2020] [Revised: 04/15/2021] [Accepted: 04/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have an increased fracture risk because of impaired bone quality and quantity. Low bone mineral density predicts fracture risk in all CKD stages, including advanced CKD (CKD G4-5D). Pharmacological therapy improves bone mineral density and reduces fracture risk in moderate CKD. Its efficacy in advanced CKD remains to be determined, although pilot studies suggest a positive effect on bone mineral density. Currently, antiresorptive agents are the most commonly prescribed drugs for the prevention and therapy of osteoporosis. Their use in advanced CKD has been limited by the lack of large clinical trials and fear of causing kidney dysfunction and adynamic bone disease. In recent decades, adynamic bone disease has evolved as the most predominant form of renal osteodystrophy, commonly associated with poor outcomes, including premature mortality and progression of vascular calcification. Evolving evidence indicates that reduction of bone turnover by parathyroidectomy or pharmacological therapies, such as calcimimetics and antiresorptive agents, are not associated with premature mortality or accelerated vascular calcification in CKD. In contrast, chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, malnutrition, and diabetes can induce low bone turnover and associate with poor prognosis. Thus, the conditions causing suppression of bone turnover rather than the low bone turnover per se may account for the perceived association with outcomes. Anabolic treatment, in contrast, has been suggested to improve turnover and bone mass in patients with advanced CKD and low bone turnover; however, uncertainty about safety even exceeds that of antiresorptive agents. Here, we critically review the pathophysiological concept of adynamic bone disease and discuss the effect of low bone turnover on the safety and efficacy of anti-osteoporosis pharmacotherapy in advanced CKD.
