Persistent changes in calcium-regulating hormones and bone turnover markers in living kidney donors more than 20 years after donation. JBMR Plus 2024; 8:ziae067. [PMID: 38868597 PMCID: PMC11166890 DOI: 10.1093/jbmrpl/ziae067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
In a previous study, we observed decreased 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and increased bone turnover markers in living kidney donors (LKDs) at 3 months and 36 months after kidney donation. In our recent survey-based study, we found no increased risk of fractures of all types but observed significantly more vertebral fractures in LKDs compared with matched controls. To elucidate the long-term effects of kidney donation on bone health, we recruited 139 LKDs and 139 age and sex matched controls from the survey-based participants for further mechanistic analyses. Specifically, we assessed whether LKDs had persistent abnormalities in calcium- and phosphorus-regulating hormones and related factors, in bone formation and resorption markers, and in density and microstructure of bone compared with controls. We measured serum markers, bone mineral density (BMD), bone microstructure and strength (via high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography and micro-finite element analysis [HRpQCT]), and advanced glycation end-products in donors and controls. LKDs had decreased 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D concentrations (donors mean 33.89 pg/mL vs. controls 38.79 pg/mL, percent difference = -12.6%; P < .001), increases in both parathyroid hormone (when corrected for ionized calcium; donors mean 52.98 pg/mL vs. controls 46.89 pg/mL,% difference 13%; P = .03) and ionized calcium levels (donors mean 5.13 mg/dL vs. controls 5.04 mg/dL; P < .001), and increases in several bone resorption and formation markers versus controls. LKDs and controls had similar measures of BMD; however, HRpQCT suggested that LKDs have a statistically insignificant tendency toward thinner cortical bone and lower failure loads as measured by micro-finite element analysis. Our findings suggest that changes in the hormonal mileu after kidney donation and the long-term cumulative effects of these changes on bone health persist for decades after kidney donation and may explain later-life increased rates of vertebral fractures.

Lee H, Eum SH, Ko EJ, Cho HJ, Yang CW, Chung BH. Alterations in the Mineral Bone Metabolism of Living Kidney Donors After Uni-Nephrectomy: Prospective Observational Study. Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:741944. [PMID: 34722580 PMCID: PMC8554047 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.741944] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2021] [Accepted: 09/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
We investigated the dynamic change of mineral bone metabolism and explored factors associated with the alteration of mineral bone metabolism in the living kidney donors (LKDs) after uni-nephrectomy. One-hundred forty-four prospective LKDs who underwent kidney donation between May 2016 and September 2018 were enrolled. Laboratory evaluation regarding mineral bone metabolism including intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), renal fractional excretion of phosphate (FEPi), and technetium-99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetate (99mTc-DTPA) scan was performed predonation and 6 months after donation. We divided donors into two groups, the low ΔFEPi and high ΔFEPi groups, according to the change of FEPi after donation, and investigated significant risk factors associated with high ΔFEPi. At 6 months after uni-nephrectomy, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) significantly declined by 30.95 ml/min/1.73 m2 (p < 0.001), but the measured GFR (mGFR) of the remaining kidney by 99mTc-DTPA scan showed significant increase. Serum phosphorus decreased (p < 0.001), whereas FEPi (13.34–20.23%, p < 0.001) and serum iPTH (38.70–52.20 pg/ml, p < 0.001) showed significant increase. In the high ΔFEPi group, the proportion of preexisting hypertension (HTN) was higher, the baseline FEPi was lower, and the percent decline in eGFR was greater. Moreover, all of these factors were independently associated with high ΔFEPi upon multivariable logistic regression analysis. LKDs showed a significant change in mineral bone metabolism after uni-nephrectomy, especially when the donors had preexisting HTN, lower baseline FEPi, and showed greater loss of kidney function. Hence, strict monitoring of the mineral bone metabolism parameters and bone health may be required for these donors.
