Prevalence of Musculoskeletal and Metabolic Disorders in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Transpl Int 2024; 37:12312. [PMID: 38720821 PMCID: PMC11076774 DOI: 10.3389/ti.2024.12312] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
Introduction Musculoskeletal disorders could be associated with metabolic disorders that are common after kidney transplantation, which could reduce the quality of life of patients. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of both musculoskeletal and metabolic disorders in kidney transplant patients. Methods MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMBASE and Web of Science were searched from their inception up to June 2023. DerSimonian and Laird random-effects method was used to calculate pooled prevalence estimates and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results 21,879 kidney transplant recipients from 38 studies were analysed. The overall proportion of kidney transplant patients with musculoskeletal disorders was 27.2% (95% CI: 18.4-36.0), with low muscle strength (64.5%; 95% CI: 43.1-81.3) being the most common disorder. Otherwise, the overall proportion of kidney transplant patients with metabolic disorders was 37.6% (95% CI: 21.9-53.2), with hypovitaminosis D (81.8%; 95% CI: 67.2-90.8) being the most prevalent disorder. Conclusion The most common musculoskeletal disorders were low muscle strength, femoral osteopenia, and low muscle mass. Hypovitaminosis D, hyperparathyroidism, and hyperuricemia were also the most common metabolic disorders. These disorders could be associated with poorer quality of life in kidney transplant recipients. Systematic Review Registration https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier [CRD42023449171].

Abstract
As the number of patients living with kidney failure grows, the need also grows for kidney transplantation, the gold standard kidney replacement therapy that provides a survival advantage. This may result in an increased rate of transplantation from HLA-mismatched donors that increases the rate of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR), which already is the leading cause of allograft failure. Plasmapheresis, intravenous immunoglobulin therapy, anti-CD20 therapies (i.e., rituximab), bortezomib and splenectomy have been used over the years to treat AMR as well as to prevent AMR in high-risk sensitized kidney transplant recipients. Eculizumab and ravulizumab are monoclonal antibodies targeting the C5 protein of the complement pathway and part of the expanding field of anticomplement therapies, which is not limited to kidney transplant recipients, and also includes complement-mediated microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, and ANCA-vasculitis. In this narrative review, we summarize the current knowledge concerning the pathophysiological background and use of anti-C5 strategies (eculizumab and ravulizumab) and C1-esterase inhibitor in AMR, either to prevent AMR in high-risk desensitized patients or to treat AMR as first-line or rescue therapy and also to treat de novo thrombotic microangiopathy in kidney transplant recipients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) are at an increased risk of fractures. Total urinary hydroxyproline excretion served as marker for bone resorption (BR) but was replaced by β-CrossLaps (CTX), a C-terminal collagen α-1(I) chain (COL1A1) telopeptide. We investigated the low-molecular-weight urinary proteome for peptides associated with changes in bone metabolism after kidney transplantation. METHODS Clinical and laboratory data including serum levels of CTX in 96 KTR from two nephrology centers were correlated with signal intensities of urinary peptides identified by capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry. RESULTS Eighty-two urinary peptides were significantly correlated with serum CTX levels. COL1A1 was the predominant peptide source. Oral bisphosphonates were administered for decreased bone density in an independent group of 11 KTR and their effect was evaluated on the aforementioned peptides. Study of the peptides cleavage sites revealed a signature of Cathepsin K and MMP9. Seventeen of these peptides were significantly associated with bisphosphonate treatment, all showing a marked reduction in their excretion levels compared to baseline. DISCUSSION This study provides strong evidence for the presence of collagen peptides in the urine of KTR that are associated with BR and that are sensitive to bisphosphonate treatment. Their assessment might become a valuable tool to monitor bone status in KTR.

Abstract
Background Osteoporosis and fractures increase morbidity and mortality rates after solid organ transplantation (SOT), but few studies have analyzed the risk of osteoporosis and related fractures after SOT. In this retrospective cohort study, we investigated the risk of osteoporosis and fractures in different SOT recipients. Methods This study was a retrospective cohort study using a nationally representative database in Taiwan. We collected the data of SOT recipients and used the propensity score matching method to obtain a comparison cohort. To reduce bias, we excluded patients who had been diagnosed with osteoporosis or fracture before inclusion. All participants were followed up until the date of diagnosis as having a pathological fracture, death, or the end of 2018, whichever occurred first. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to investigate the risk of osteoporosis and pathological fracture in SOT recipients. Results After adjustment for the aforementioned variables, SOT recipients were observed to have a higher risk of osteoporosis (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.46, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.29-1.65) and fracture (HR: 1.19, 95% CI: 1.01-1.39) than the general individuals. Among the different SOT recipients, the highest risk of fractures was noted in heart or lung transplant recipients, with a HR of 4.62 (95% CI: 2.05-10.44). Among the age groups, patients aged >61 years had the highest HRs for osteoporosis (HR: 11.51; 95% CI, 9.10-14.56) and fracture (HR: 11.75, 95% CI: 8.97-15.40). Conclusion SOT recipients had a higher risk of osteoporosis and related fractures than the general population, with the highest risks observed in patients receiving heart or lung transplants, older patients, and patients with CCI scores of >3.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop evidence-based recommendations for safe, effective, and appropriate treatment of secondary (SHPT) and tertiary (THPT) renal hyperparathyroidism. BACKGROUND Hyperparathyroidism is common among patients with chronic kidney disease, end-stage kidney disease, and kidney transplant. The surgical management of SHPT and THPT is nuanced and requires a multidisciplinary approach. There are currently no clinical practice guidelines that address the surgical treatment of SHPT and THPT. METHODS Medical literature was reviewed from January 1, 1985 to present January 1, 2021 by a panel of 10 experts in SHPT and THPT. Recommendations using the best available evidence was constructed. The American College of Physicians grading system was used to determine levels of evidence. Recommendations were discussed to consensus. The American Association of Endocrine Surgeons membership reviewed and commented on preliminary drafts of the content. RESULTS These clinical guidelines present the epidemiology and pathophysiology of SHPT and THPT and provide recommendations for work-up and management of SHPT and THPT for all involved clinicians. It outlines the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative management of SHPT and THPT, as well as related definitions, operative techniques, morbidity, and outcomes. Specific topics include Pathogenesis and Epidemiology, Initial Evaluation, Imaging, Preoperative and Perioperative Care, Surgical Planning and Parathyroidectomy, Adjuncts and Approaches, Outcomes, and Reoperation. CONCLUSIONS Evidence-based guidelines were created to assist clinicians in the optimal management of secondary and tertiary renal hyperparathyroidism.

Abstract
PURPOSE Kidney transplant recipients are prone to metabolic bone diseases and consequent fractures. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of incipient vertebral fractures, osteopenia, osteoporosis, and the clinical factors associated with incipient vertebral fractures in a group of kidney transplant patients. METHODS Two hundred sixty-four patients (F/M 124/140, 45.3 ± 13 years) who had undergone kidney transplantation in tertiary care centers were included. Vertebral fractures were assessed semiquantitatively using conventional thoracolumbar lateral radiography in 202 of the patients. RESULTS Vertebral fractures were observed in 56.4% (n = 114) of the study group. The frequency of osteoporosis was 20.0% (53 of 264 patients), and osteopenia was 35.6% (94 of 264 patients). Bone mineral density (BMD) levels were in the normal range in 40.3% (n = 46) of the subjects with vertebral fractures. It was in the osteoporotic range in 20.1% (n = 23) and the osteopenic range in 40.3% (n = 46). Vertebral fractures were associated with age, duration of hemodialysis, BMI, and femoral neck Z score (R2 37.8%, p = 0.027). CONCLUSION As incipient vertebral fractures can be observed in patients with normal BMD levels in kidney transplant recipients, conventional X-ray screening for vertebral fractures may be beneficial for a proper therapy decision of metabolic bone disease in kidney transplant recipients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Osteoporosis and osteopenia occur frequently in renal transplant recipients due to long-term use of immune-suppressants including corticosteroids. Previous treatment options like bisphosphonates had acceptable but rather unsatisfactory results after transplant. The aim of the current study is to directly compare the efficacy of denosumab and oral ibandronate in late RTR with low bone mineral density.
Results
The study was conducted Iin Hamed Al-Essa Kidney transplant center, Kuwait, in 2020. The data of 52 denosumab and 48 ibandronate patients were collected at the baseline and after one year of treatment. Spine and hip T-score readings, side effects, and other laboratory results were analyzed to evaluate the use of both medications. The mean number of months after transplant was 25 (± 13.9) months. After one year of treatment, denosumab alleviated both spinal osteoporosis and osteopenia T-score values from −3.13 to −2.4 (p = 0.008) and from −1.9 to −1.5 (p = 0.015), respectively. Besides, it reduced hip osteoporosis and osteopenia insignificantly from −3.45 to −3.1 and from −1.5 to −1.3, respectively (p > 0.05). Ibandronate improved spinal osteopenia from −1.6 to −1.55 (p = 0.97) and failed to show any positive impact on other sites; the spinal osteoporosis changed from −2.8 to −3 and hip osteoporosis and osteopenia changed from −3.1 to −3.12 and from −1.4 to −1.45, respectively (p > 0.05). The use of ibandronate was more associated with gastrointestinal tract (GIT) side effects, while hypocalcemia episodes were significantly higher in the denosumab group.
Conclusion
Denosumab improved both spinal and hip T-score values in comparison with ibandronate in RTR. Close monitoring is required for denosumab patients to prevent the associated hypocalcemia.

Abstract
The ideal immunosuppressive regimen should provide for excellent immunosuppression with no side effects. Yet, current immunosuppressive therapy regimens commonly used in clinical applications fail to meet this criterion. One of the complications caused by immunosuppressive drugs is mineralization disorders in hard tissues. In this study, we evaluated the effects of three immunosuppressive therapies used after transplantation on the levels of potassium, iron, chromium, zinc, aluminum, sodium and molybdenum in the bones and teeth of female rats and their offspring. The study was conducted on 32 female Wistar rats, subjected to immunosuppressive regimens (cyclosporine A, mycophenolate mofetil and prednisone; tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil and prednisone; and cyclosporine A, everolimus and prednisone). The hard tissues of rats were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES, ICAP 7400 Duo, Thermo Scientific) equipped with a concentric nebulizer and a cyclonic spray chamber. All the immunosuppressive regimens included in the study affected the concentrations of the studied minerals in hard tissues of female rats and their offspring. The therapy based on cyclosporine A, everolimus and prednisone led to a decline in the levels of iron in bone, zinc in teeth, and molybdenum in the bone and teeth of mothers, while in the offspring, it caused a decline of bone potassium, with a decrease in iron and increase of molybdenum in teeth. Moreover, the regimen caused an increase in aluminum and chromium in the teeth and aluminum in the bones of the offspring, and consequently, it seems to be the therapy with the most negative impact on the mineral metabolism in hard tissues.

Abstract
Soon after kidney transplant (KT), a decrease in parathormone and bone mineral density (BMD) occur, but little is known on the impact of KT on novel bone quality parameters including trabecular bone score (TBS) and bone material strength index (BMSi). We aimed to study BMD, TBS and BMSi in the first year after KT, in patients not treated with any bone therapy. A cohort including 36 patients underwent KT on a low-glucocorticoid-dose protocol (5 mg daily-prednisone from post-operative-day 42 onwards) and was observed for 12 months prospectively. At 3 months, phosphorus and parathormone decreased, while calcium increased. We also observed at 3 months a transient mild 2.9% bone loss at femoral neck (BMD change 0.752 ± 0.15 vs 0.730 ± 0.15; p = 0.004), but no change at either spine or total hip. Both TBS and BMSi remained stable. At 12 months, lumbar (but not total hip or femoral neck) BMD slightly decreased by 2.1% vs baseline (0.950 ± 0.15 vs 0.930 ± 0.5; p = 0.046), while TBS and BMSi remained unmodified. In KT patients on low-dose glucocorticoids and no bone therapy, there were small BMD decreases at femoral neck (at 3 months) and lumbar spine (at 12 months), but no change in either TBS or BMSi. Low-dose post-KT glucocorticoid treatment shows limited impact on bone, supporting steroid-restrictive protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory activity of the artery can be assessed by measuring 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake with positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET/CT). Improvement in vascular function after renal transplantation has been reported, but no studies have used 18F-FDG PET/CT to examine the changes in vascular inflammation. This study investigated the changes in the inflammatory activity in the carotid artery after renal transplantation in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). MATERIAL AND METHODS 18F-FDG PET/CT was performed before and at 4 months after transplantation. We quantified 18F-FDG uptake as the target-to-background ratio (TBR) in the carotid artery in 10 CKD patients. TBR was evaluated in the whole carotid artery (WH) and most-diseased segment (MDS), and the mean and maximum values were analyzed. The concentrations of inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, and endothelin-1, were measured. RESULTS Eight patients showed a decrease in mean or maximum TBR. The average mean or maximum TBRs in the WH and MDS of the right and left arteries were all reduced after transplantation. The average mean TBR for the right WH decreased significantly (% reduction [95% CI]) by -5.74% [-15.37, -0.02] (p=0.047). TBRs did not correlate significantly with cytokine concentrations. The changes in cytokine concentrations after transplantation varied. CONCLUSIONS 18F-FDG uptake by the WH and MDS tended to reduce after renal transplantation. Therefore, renal transplantation may confer an anti-inflammatory effect on carotid atherosclerosis in patients with CKD; however, this effect is not large enough to be demonstrated in this study with small sample size.

Abstract
PURPOSE Osteoblasts and adipocytes are derived from mesenchymal stem cells. An imbalance in the differentiation of these lineages could affect the preservation of bone integrity. Several studies have suggested the importance of this imbalance in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis after kidney transplant (KT), but the role of bone marrow adiposity in this process is not well known, and if the treatment with the anti-absorptive (zoledronic acid-ZA) drugs could attenuate bone loss. Thus, our objective was compare bone marrow adiposity, osteoblasts and osteocytes before and after KT, verify an association between bone remodeling process (Turnover, Volume, and Mineralization-TMV classification), the osteocyte sclerostin expression to evaluate if there is a role of Wnt pathway, as well as the effect of ZA on these cells. METHODS We studied 29 new living-donor KT patients. One group received ZA at the time of KT plus cholecalciferol for twelve months, and the other group received only cholecalciferol. Bone biopsies were performed at baseline and after 12 months of treatment. Histomorphometric evaluation was performed in bone and bone marrow adipocytes. Sclerostin (Scl) expression in osteocytes was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Some bone marrow adiposity parameters were increased before KT. After KT, some of them remained increased and they worsened with the use of ZA. In the baseline, lower bone Volume and Turnover, were associated with increased bone marrow adiposity parameters (some of them). After KT, both groups showed the same associations. Osteocyte Scl expression after KT decreased with the use of ZA. We observed also an inverse association between bone adiposity parameters and lower osteocyte sclerostin expression 12 months after KT. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the present study suggests that KT fails to normalize bone marrow adiposity, and it even gets worse with the use of ZA. Moreover, bone marrow adiposity is inversely associated with bone Volume and Turnover, which seems to be accentuated by the antiresorptive therapy.

Abstract
The use of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) and vitamin D deficiency may contribute to the pathogenesis of post-transplant bone disease. CNIs and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃ (1,25(OH)2D3) are substrates of the drug-metabolizing enzyme CYP3A4. This review summarizes the indications for the use of activated vitamin D analogs in post-transplant care and the current knowledge on the impact of CNIs on bone. We searched for clinical evidence of the interaction between CNIs and 1,25(OH)2D3. We also provide an overview of the literature on the interplay between vitamin D metabolism and CYP3A4 in experimental and clinical settings and discuss its possible implications for solid organ transplant recipients. In conclusion, there is a body of evidence on the interplay between vitamin D and the drug-metabolizing enzyme CYP3A4, which may have therapeutic implications.

Abstract
Patients with CKD are at increased risk for cardiovascular events, hospitalizations, and mortality. Kidney transplantation (KTx) is the preferred treatment for end-stage kidney disease. Although comorbidities including anemia and bone and mineral disease improve or are even halted after KTx, kidney transplant recipients carry higher cardiovascular mortality risk than the general population, as well as an increased risk of infections, malignancies, fractures, and obesity. When comparing CKD with CKD after transplantation (CKD-T), the rate of decline of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is significantly lower in CKD-T. Higher rate of decline of eGFR has been associated with increased risk of mortality. However, due to the significant increased risk of mortality due to cardiovascular events, infections, and malignancies, many kidney transplant recipients may not benefit of decline in the rate of eGFR. Patients with CKD-T are a unique subset of patients with multiple traditional and transplant-specific risk factors. Proper management and appropriate preventive health measures may improve long-term patient and allograft survival in patients with CKD-T.

Effect of Twice-Yearly Denosumab on Prevention of Bone Mineral Density Loss in De Novo Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Randomized Controlled Trial. Am J Transplant 2016; 16:1882-91.

Abstract
We conducted an open-label, prospective, randomized trial to assess the efficacy and safety of RANKL inhibition with denosumab to prevent the loss of bone mineral density (BMD) in the first year after kidney transplantation. Ninety kidney transplant recipients were randomized 1:1 2 weeks after surgery to receive denosumab (60 mg at baseline and 6 months) or no treatment. After 12 months, total lumbar spine areal BMD (aBMD) increased by 4.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.3-5.9%) in 46 patients in the denosumab group and decreased by -0.5% (95% CI -1.8% to 0.9%) in 44 patients in the control group (between-group difference 5.1% [95% CI 3.1-7.0%], p < 0.0001). Denosumab also increased aBMD at the total hip by 1.9% (95% CI, 0.1-3.7%; p = 0.035) over that in the control group at 12 months. High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography in a subgroup of 24 patients showed that denosumab increased volumetric BMD at the distal tibia and radius (all p < 0.05). Biomarkers of bone turnover (C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide) markedly decreased with denosumab (all p < 0.0001). Episodes of cystitis and asymptomatic hypocalcemia occurred more often with denosumab, whereas graft function, rate of rejections, and incidence of opportunistic infections were similar. In conclusion, denosumab increased BMD in the first year after kidney transplantation but was associated with more frequent episodes of urinary tract infection.

Abstract
Post-transplant bone disease contributes significantly to patients' morbidity and mortality after transplantation and has an impact on their quality of life. This article discusses the major contributors to mechanisms causing bone loss, highlighting the role of preexisting disease in both kidney and liver failure and contributions from glucocorticoids and calcineurin inhibitors. Suggested monitoring and investigations are reviewed as well as treatment as far as the current literature supports, emphasizing the difference between kidney and liver recipients.

Abstract
Improved survival following organ transplantation has brought to the forefront some long-term complications, among which osteoporosis and associated fractures are the major ones that adversely affect the quality of life in recipients. The pathogenesis of osteoporosis in transplant recipients is complex and multifactorial which may be related to increased bone resorption, decreased bone formation, or both. Studies have shown that the preexisting underlying metabolic bone disorders and the use of immunosuppressive agents are the major risk factors for osteoporosis and fractures after organ transplantation. And rapid bone loss usually occurs in the first 6–12 months with a significant increase in fracture risk. This paper will provide an updated review on the possible pathogenesis of posttransplant osteoporosis and fractures, the natural history, and the current prevention and treatment strategies concerning different types of organ transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The role of reversibility of nontraditional risk factors, like inflammation and CKD-mineral bone disorder, in the reduction of cardiovascular risk after renal transplantation is still scarcely defined. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, AND MEASUREMENTS The longitudinal relationship between C-reactive protein, CKD-mineral bone disorder biomarkers, and intima media thickness was investigated in a series of 178 patients (age=32±10 years) with stage 5 CKD maintained on chronic dialysis who underwent echo-color Doppler studies of the carotid arteries before and after renal transplantation. Smokers and patients with diabetes were excluded from the study. In all patients, immunosuppression was performed by a standard regimen on the basis of calcineurin inhibitors. Healthy controls were specifically selected to match the age and sex distribution of the patients. Biochemical and intima media thickness assessments were repeated 6 months after transplantation. RESULTS Before transplantation, intima media thickness in patients with stage 5 CKD on dialysis (average=0.9±0.2 mm) was higher (P<0.001) than in well matched healthy controls (0.6±0.1 mm) and reduced substantially (-22%; 95% confidence interval, -24% to -20%) after transplantation (P=0.001). GFR (multivariable-adjusted β=0.23; P<0.001), C-reactive protein (β=0.15; P<0.001), and fibroblast growth factor 23 (β=0.28; P<0.001) were the strongest independent correlates of intima media thickness before transplantation. Similarly, longitudinal changes in the same biomarkers were the sole independent correlates of simultaneous changes in intima media thickness (C-reactive protein: β=0.25; fibroblast growth factor 23: β=0.26; P<0.001 for both) after renal transplantation. The evolution of intima media thickness after transplantation was largely independent of classic risk factors, including BP, LDL cholesterol, and insulin resistance, as measured by homeostatic model assessment. CONCLUSIONS Intima media thickness improves after renal transplantation. Such an improvement associates with parallel changes in serum C-reactive protein and fibroblast growth factor 23. These observations are in keeping with the hypothesis that the decline in cardiovascular risk after transplantation, in part, depends on partial resolution of nontraditional cardiovascular risk factors, like inflammation and CKD-mineral bone disorder.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS To assess the relationship between bone and vascular disease and its changes over time after renal transplantation. Metabolic bone disease (MBD) is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with cardiovascular (CV) disease. Following transplantation (Tx), improvement in CV disease has been reported; however, data regarding changes in bone disease remain controversial. METHODS Bone turnover and arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity (PWV)) were assessed in 47 Tx patients (38 (3-191) months after Tx). RESULTS Bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP), osteocalcin (OC) and beta-crosslaps were significantly higher in Tx patients, and decreased significantly after one year. There was a negative correlation between BALP, OC and steroid administered (r = -0.35; r = -0.36 respectively). PWV increased in the Tx group (1.15 SD). In patients with a follow up of <24 months, PWV was correlated with BALP and beta-crosslaps (r=0.53; r = 0.69 respectively) while in the ≥24 months group, PWV was correlated with cholesterol (r=0.38). CONCLUSIONS Increased bone turnover and arterial stiffness are present following kidney transplantation. While bone turnover decreases with time, arterial stiffness correlates initially with bone turnover, after which the influence of cholesterol becomes significant. Non-invasive estimation of bone metabolism and arterial stiffness may help to assess CKD-MBD following renal transplantation.
