Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant challenge for pediatric endocrinologists, as children with CKD may present a variety of endocrine complications. Growth failure is common in CKD, and its severity is correlated with the degree of renal insufficiency. Management strategies include addressing reversible comorbidities, optimizing nutrition, and ensuring metabolic control. Kidney replacement therapy, including transplantation, determines a significant improvement in growth. According to a recent Consensus Statement, children with CKD stage 3-or on dialysis older >6 months-are eligible for treatment with recombinant growth hormone (rGH) in the case of persistent growth failure. Treatment with rGH may be considered for those with height between the 3rd and 10th percentile and persistent growth deceleration. In children who received kidney transplantation but continue to experience growth failure, initiation of GH therapy is recommended one year post-transplantation if spontaneous catch-up growth does not occur and steroid-free immunosuppression is not an option. In children with CKD, due to nephropathic cystinosis and persistent growth failure, GH therapy should be considered at all stages of CKD. Potential adverse effects and benefits must be regularly assessed during therapy. Treatment with GH is safe in children with CKD. However, its general efficacy is still controversial. All possible problems with a negative impact on growth should be timely addressed and resolved, whenever possible with a personalized approach to the patient. GH therapy may be useful in promoting catch-up growth in children with residual growth potential. Future research should focus on refining effective therapeutic strategies and establishing consensus guidelines to optimize growth outcomes in this population.

Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) experience a several-fold increased risk of fracture. Despite the high incidence and the associated excess morbidity and premature mortality, bone fragility in CKD, or CKD-associated osteoporosis, remains a blind spot in nephrology with an immense treatment gap. Defining the bone phenotype is a prerequisite for the appropriate therapy of CKD-associated osteoporosis at the patient level. In the present review, we suggest 10 practical 'tips and tricks' for the assessment of bone health in patients with CKD. We describe the clinical, biochemical, and radiological evaluation of bone health, alongside the benefits and limitations of the available diagnostics. A bone biopsy, the gold standard for diagnosing renal bone disease, is invasive and not widely available; although useful in complex cases, we do not consider it an essential component of bone assessment in patients with CKD-associated osteoporosis. Furthermore, we advocate for the deployment of multidisciplinary expert teams at local, national, and potentially international level. Finally, we address the knowledge gaps in the diagnosis, particularly early detection, appropriate "real-time" monitoring of bone health in this highly vulnerable population, and emerging diagnostic tools, currently primarily used in research, that may be on the horizon of clinical practice.

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
Maturation defects are intrinsic features of osteoblast lineage cells in CKD patients. These defects persist ex vivo, suggesting that CKD induces epigenetic changes in bone cells. To gain insights into which signaling pathways contribute to CKD-mediated, epigenetically driven, impairments in osteoblast maturation, we characterized RNA expression and DNA methylation patterns by RNA-Seq and MethylationEpic in primary osteoblasts from nine adolescent and young adult dialysis patients with end-stage kidney disease and three healthy references. ATAC-Seq was also performed on a subset of osteoblasts. Bone matrix protein expression was extracted from the iliac crest and evaluated by proteomics. Gene set enrichment analysis was used to establish signaling pathways consistently altered in chromatin accessibility, DNA methylation, and RNA expression patterns. Single genes were suppressed in primary osteoblasts using shRNA and mineralization characterized in vitro. The effect of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) signaling suppression was also assessed using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) incorporation. We found that signaling pathways critical for osteoblast differentiation were strongly downregulated in CKD osteoblasts. Gene set enrichment analysis identified highly significant methylation changes, differential chromatin accessibility, and altered RNA expression in NFAT signaling targets. NFAT inhibition reduced osteoblast proliferation. Combined analysis of osteoblast RNA expression and whole bone matrix composition identified 13 potential ligand-receptor pairs. In summary, epigenetic changes in CKD osteoblasts associate with altered expression of multiple osteoblast genes and signaling pathways. An increase in NFAT signaling may play a role in impaired CKD osteoblast maturation. Epigenetic changes also associate with an altered bone matrix, which may contribute to bone fragility. Further studies are necessary to elucidate the pathways affected by these genetic alterations since elucidating these pathways will be vital to correcting the underlying biology of bone disease in the CKD population.

Abstract
Osteocytes are the most abundant type of bone cell and play crucial roles in bone health. Osteocytes sense mechanical stress and orchestrate osteoblasts and osteoclasts to maintain bone density and strength. Beyond this, osteocytes have also emerged as key regulators of organ crosstalk, and they function as endocrine organs via their roles in secreting factors that mediate signaling within their neighboring bone cells and in distant tissues. As such, osteocyte dysfunction has been associated with the bone abnormalities seen across a spectrum of chronic kidney disease. Specifically, dysregulated osteocyte morphology and signaling have been observed in the earliest stages of chronic kidney disease and have been suggested to contribute to kidney disease progression. More important, US Food and Drug Administration-approved inhibitors of osteocytic secreted proteins, such as fibroblast growth factor 23 and sclerostin, have been used to treat bone diseases. The present mini review highlights new research that links dysfunctional osteocytes to the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease mineral and bone disorder.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is not well understood. Specific factors secreted by osteocytes are elevated in the serum of adults and pediatric patients with CKD-MBD, including FGF-23 and sclerostin, a known inhibitor of the Wnt signaling pathway. The molecular mechanisms that promote bone disease during the progression of CKD are incompletely understood. In this study, we performed a cross-sectional analysis of 87 pediatric patients with pre-dialysis CKD and post-dialysis (CKD 5D). We assessed the associations between serum and bone sclerostin levels and biomarkers of bone turnover and bone histomorphometry. We report that serum sclerostin levels were elevated in both early and late CKD. Higher circulating and bone sclerostin levels were associated with histomorphometric parameters of bone turnover and mineralization. Immunofluorescence analyses of bone biopsies evaluated osteocyte staining of antibodies towards the canonical Wnt target, β-catenin, in the phosphorylated (inhibited) or unphosphorylated (active) forms. Bone sclerostin was found to be colocalized with phosphorylated β-catenin, which suggests that Wnt signaling was inhibited. In patients with low serum sclerostin levels, increased unphosphorylated "active" β-catenin staining was observed in osteocytes. These data provide new mechanistic insight into the pathogenesis of CKD-MBD and suggest that sclerostin may offer a potential biomarker or therapeutic target in pediatric renal osteodystrophy.

Abstract
Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) is a disorder of bone metabolism that affects virtually all patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes including fractures, cardiovascular events, and death. In this study, we showed that hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α (HNF4α), a transcription factor mostly expressed in the liver, is also expressed in bone, and that osseous HNF4α expression was dramatically reduced in patients and mice with ROD. Osteoblast-specific deletion of Hnf4α resulted in impaired osteogenesis in cells and mice. Using multi-omics analyses of bones and cells lacking or overexpressing Hnf4α1 and Hnf4α2, we showed that HNF4α2 is the main osseous Hnf4α isoform that regulates osteogenesis, cell metabolism, and cell death. As a result, osteoblast-specific overexpression of Hnf4α2 prevented bone loss in mice with CKD. Our results showed that HNF4α2 is a transcriptional regulator of osteogenesis, implicated in the development of ROD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We sought to use deep learning to extract anatomic features from postnatal kidney ultrasounds and evaluate their performance in predicting the risk and timing of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression for boys with posterior urethral valves (PUV). We hypothesized that these features would predict CKD progression better than clinical characteristics such as nadir creatinine alone. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of boys with PUV treated at two pediatric health systems from 1990 to 2021. Features of kidneys were extracted from initial postnatal kidney ultrasound images using a deep learning model. Three time-to-event prediction models were built using random survival forests. The Imaging Model included deep learning imaging features, the Clinical Model included clinical data, and the Ensemble Model combined imaging features and clinical data. Separate models were built to include time-dependent clinical data that were available at 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years. RESULTS Two-hundred and twenty-five patients were included in the analysis. All models performed well with C-indices of 0.7 or greater. The Clinical Model outperformed the Imaging Model at all time points with nadir creatinine driving the performance of the Clinical Model. Combining the 6-month Imaging Model (C-index 0.7; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.6, 0.79) with the 6-month Clinical Model (C-index 0.79; 95% CI 0.71, 0.86) resulted in a 6-month Ensemble Model that performed better (C-index 0.82; 95% CI 0.77, 0.88) than either model alone. CONCLUSIONS Deep learning imaging features extracted from initial postnatal kidney ultrasounds may improve early prediction of CKD progression among children with PUV.

Abstract
Congenital diseases of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) and glomerulonephritis are the main causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children. Although renal osteodystrophy (ROD) and indices of mineral metabolism have been characterized in dialyzed children, the impact of primary kidney disease on ROD is unknown. We performed a cross‐sectional study of bone biopsies performed in 189 pediatric dialysis patients aged 12.6 ± 5.4 years. Patients were classified into three groups according to primary kidney disease: CAKUT (n = 82), hereditary (n = 22), or glomerular disease (n = 85). Serum concentrations of calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), parathyroid hormone (PTH), and 25(OH) vitamin D were measured at the time of biopsy. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels were measured in a subset of 59 patients. Levels of calcium, phosphate, PTH, and 25(OH) vitamin D were similar across groups. CAKUT patients had higher serum ALP and lower C‐terminal FGF23 levels. Bone turnover and bone volume parameters did not differ across groups. However, osteoid volume (OV/BV), osteoid surface (OS/BS), and osteoid maturation time (OMT) were highest in the CAKUT group and lowest in the hereditary group. Multiple regression analysis revealed that calcium, phosphate, ALP, and PTH were independently associated with OV/BV and osteoid thickness (O.Th). PTH was an independent factor affecting bone formation rate. The relationship between CKD etiology and bone histomorphometric variables was abrogated after adjustment for biochemical parameters in the multivariable models. Overall, bone histology differed according to CKD etiology in the unadjusted analysis; however, this association could not be confirmed independently of biochemical parameters. Although CAKUT patients had a greater mineralization defect with elevated serum ALP levels, longitudinal studies will be needed to elucidate mediation pathways that might be involved in the complex interplay of CKD‐mineral bone disease (MBD). © 2022 The Authors.

Abstract
Background Patients on dialysis have a high burden of bone-related comorbidities, including fractures. We report a post hoc analysis of the prospective cohort study HDF, Hearts and Heights (3H) to determine the prevalence and risk factors for chronic kidney disease-related bone disease in children on hemodiafiltration (HDF) and conventional hemodialysis (HD). Methods The baseline cross-sectional analysis included 144 children, of which 103 (61 HD, 42 HDF) completed 12-month follow-up. Circulating biomarkers of bone formation and resorption, inflammatory markers, fibroblast growth factor-23, and klotho were measured. Results Inflammatory markers interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein were lower in HDF than in HD cohorts at baseline and at 12 months (P < .001). Concentrations of bone formation (bone-specific alkaline phosphatase) and resorption (tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b) markers were comparable between cohorts at baseline, but after 12-months the bone-specific alkaline phosphatase/tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b ratio increased in HDF (P = .004) and was unchanged in HD (P = .44). On adjusted analysis, the bone-specific alkaline phosphatase/tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b ratio was 2.66-fold lower (95% confidence interval, −3.91 to −1.41; P < .0001) in HD compared with HDF. Fibroblast growth factor-23 was comparable between groups at baseline (P = .52) but increased in HD (P < .0001) and remained unchanged in HDF (P = .34) at 12 months. Klotho levels were similar between groups and unchanged during follow-up. The fibroblast growth factor-23/klotho ratio was 3.86-fold higher (95% confidence interval, 2.15–6.93; P < .0001) after 12 months of HD compared with HDF. Conclusion Children on HDF have an attenuated inflammatory profile, increased bone formation, and lower fibroblast growth factor-23/klotho ratios compared with those on HD. Long-term studies are required to determine the effects of an improved bone biomarker profile on fracture risk and cardiovascular health.

Reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease in children with chronic kidney disease: prevention vs. damage limitation. Pediatr Nephrol 2021; 36:2537-2544.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a life-limiting condition in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is rapidly progressive, especially in those with stage 5 CKD and on dialysis. Cardiovascular mortality, although reducing, remains at least 30 times higher than in the general pediatric population. The American Heart Association guidelines for cardiovascular risk reduction in high-risk pediatric patients has stratified pediatric CKD patients in the "high risk" category for the development of CVD, with associated pathological and/or clinical evidence for manifest coronary disease before 30 years of age. While improving patient survival is a key priority, other patient-related outcomes, such as psychosocial development, quality of life and growth are of major importance to children and their caregivers. Once vascular damage or calcification has developed, there are no data to suggest that they can be reversed. Treatments such as intensified dialysis and transplantation may attenuate the progression of subclinical cardiovascular disease, but no treatment to date has shown that the inexorable progression of CVD in CKD can be reversed. Thus, our management must focus on early diagnosis and robust preventative strategies to give our patients the best chance of optimal cardiovascular health and survival. In this review, the pathophysiology and importance of preventing the development of CVD in CKD is discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Metabolomics facilitates the discovery of biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for CKD progression. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS We evaluated an untargeted metabolomics quantification of stored plasma samples from 645 Chronic Kidney Disease in Children (CKiD) participants. Metabolites were standardized and logarithmically transformed. Cox proportional hazards regression examined the association between 825 nondrug metabolites and progression to the composite outcome of KRT or 50% reduction of eGFR, adjusting for age, sex, race, body mass index, hypertension, glomerular versus nonglomerular diagnosis, proteinuria, and baseline eGFR. Stratified analyses were performed within subgroups of glomerular/nonglomerular diagnosis and baseline eGFR. RESULTS Baseline characteristics were 391 (61%) male; median age 12 years; median eGFR 54 ml/min per 1.73 m2; 448 (69%) nonglomerular diagnosis. Over a median follow-up of 4.8 years, 209 (32%) participants developed the composite outcome. Unique association signals were identified in subgroups of baseline eGFR. Among participants with baseline eGFR ≥60 ml/min per 1.73 m2, two-fold higher levels of seven metabolites were significantly associated with higher hazards of KRT/halving of eGFR events: three involved in purine and pyrimidine metabolism (N6-carbamoylthreonyladenosine, hazard ratio, 16; 95% confidence interval, 4 to 60; 5,6-dihydrouridine, hazard ratio, 17; 95% confidence interval, 5 to 55; pseudouridine, hazard ratio, 39; 95% confidence interval, 8 to 200); two amino acids, C-glycosyltryptophan, hazard ratio, 24; 95% confidence interval 6 to 95 and lanthionine, hazard ratio, 3; 95% confidence interval, 2 to 5; the tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediate 2-methylcitrate/homocitrate, hazard ratio, 4; 95% confidence interval, 2 to 7; and gulonate, hazard ratio, 10; 95% confidence interval, 3 to 29. Among those with baseline eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2, a higher level of tetrahydrocortisol sulfate was associated with lower risk of progression (hazard ratio, 0.8; 95% confidence interval, 0.7 to 0.9). CONCLUSIONS Untargeted plasma metabolomic profiling facilitated discovery of novel metabolite associations with CKD progression in children that were independent of established clinical predictors and highlight the role of select biologic pathways.

Abstract
Mineral and bone disorder (MBD) is widely prevalent in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with significant morbidity. CKD may cause disturbances in bone remodelling/modelling, which are more pronounced in the growing skeleton, manifesting as short stature, bone pain and deformities, fractures, slipped epiphyses and ectopic calcifications. Although assessment of bone health is a key element in the clinical care of children with CKD, it remains a major challenge for physicians. On the one hand, bone biopsy with histomorphometry is the gold standard for assessing bone health, but it is expensive, invasive and requires expertise in the interpretation of bone histology. On the other hand, currently available non-invasive measures, including dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and biomarkers of bone formation/resorption, are affected by growth and pubertal status and have limited sensitivity and specificity in predicting changes in bone turnover and mineralization. In the absence of high-quality evidence, there are wide variations in clinical practice in the diagnosis and management of CKD-MBD in childhood. We present clinical practice points (CPPs) on the assessment of bone disease in children with CKD Stages 2-5 and on dialysis based on the best available evidence and consensus of experts from the CKD-MBD and Dialysis working groups of the European Society for Paediatric Nephrology and the CKD-MBD working group of the European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplant Association. These CPPs should be carefully considered by treating physicians and adapted to individual patients' needs as appropriate. Further areas for research are suggested.

Abstract
Studies in healthy children have shown racial-ethnic differences in bone markers and bone outcomes including fractures. At present, limited studies have evaluated the impact of race and ethnicity on bone markers and fractures within the pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD) population. In a cohort study of 762 children between the ages of 1.5 years and 18 years, with CKD stages 1 to 4 from the CKD in children (CKiD) cohort, the relationship between racial-ethnic group and bone markers (parathyroid hormone [PTH], 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25-OHD], 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2 D], and C-terminal fibroblast growth factor [FGF23]) was determined using linear mixed models. Additionally, logistic regression was used to evaluate racial-ethnic differences in prevalent fracture upon study entry. Black race was associated with 23% higher PTH levels (confidence interval [CI], 2.5% to 47.7%; p = .03), 33.1% lower 25-OHD levels (CI, -39.7% to -25.7%; p < .0001), and no difference in C-terminal FGF23 or 1,25(OH)2 D levels when compared to whites. Hispanic ethnicity was associated with 15.9% lower C-terminal FGF23 levels (CI, -28.3% to -1.5%; p = .03) and 13.8% lower 25-OHD levels (CI, -22.2% to -4.5%; p = .005) when compared to whites. Black and Hispanic children had 74% (odds ratio [OR] 0.26; CI, 0.14 to 0.49; p = .001) and 66% (OR 0.34; CI, 0.17 to 0.65; p < .0001) lower odds of any fracture than white children at study entry, respectively. Race and ethnicity are associated with differences in bone markers and despite lower 25-OHD levels, both black and Hispanic children with CKD reported a lower prevalent fracture history than white children. The current findings in the CKD population are similar to racial-ethnic differences described in healthy children. Additional studies are needed to better understand how these differences might impact the management of pediatric CKD-MBD. © 2020 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
Abstract
Background. Biomarkers and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) are thought to be poor predictors of bone mineral density (BMD). The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes guidelines suggest using DXA if the results will affect patient management, but this has not been studied in children or young adults in whom bone mineral accretion continues to 30 years of age. We studied the clinical utility of DXA and serum biomarkers against tibial cortical BMD (CortBMD) measured by peripheral quantitative computed tomography, expressed as Z-score CortBMD, which predicts fracture risk.
Methods. This was a cross-sectional multicentre study in 26 patients with CKD4 and 5 and 77 on dialysis.
Results. Significant bone pain that hindered activities of daily living was present in 58%, and 10% had at least one low-trauma fracture. CortBMD and cortical mineral content Z-scores were lower in dialysis compared with CKD patients (P = 0.004 and P = 0.02). DXA BMD hip and lumbar spine Z-scores did not correlate with CortBMD or biomarkers. CortBMD was negatively associated with parathyroid hormone (PTH; r = −0.44, P < 0.0001) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP; r = −0.22, P = 0.03) and positively with calcium (Ca; r = 0.33, P = 0.001). At PTH <3 times upper limit of normal, none of the patients had a CortBMD below −2 SD (odds ratio 95% confidence interval 7.331 to infinity). On multivariable linear regression PTH (β = −0.43 , P < 0.0001), ALP (β = −0.36, P < 0.0001) and Ca (β = 0.21, P = 0.005) together predicted 57% of variability in CortBMD. DXA measures did not improve this model.
Conclusions. Taken together, routinely used biomarkers, PTH, ALP and Ca, but not DXA, are moderate predictors of cortical BMD. DXA is not clinically useful and should not be routinely performed in children and young adults with CKD 4–5D.

Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21093109.

Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) display significant mineral and bone disorders (CKD-MBD) that induce significant cardiovascular, growth and bone comorbidities. Nephropathic cystinosis is an inherited metabolic disorder caused by the lysosomal accumulation of cystine due to mutations in the CTNS gene encoding cystinosin, and leads to end-stage renal disease within the second decade. The cornerstone of management relies on cysteamine therapy to decrease lysosomal cystine accumulation in target organs. However, despite cysteamine therapy, patients display severe bone symptoms, and the concept of “cystinosis metabolic bone disease” is currently emerging. Even though its exact pathophysiology remains unclear, at least five distinct but complementary entities can explain bone impairment in addition to CKD-MBD: long-term consequences of renal Fanconi syndrome, malnutrition and copper deficiency, hormonal disturbances, myopathy, and intrinsic/iatrogenic bone defects. Direct effects of both CTNS mutation and cysteamine on osteoblasts and osteoclasts are described. Thus, the main objective of this manuscript is not only to provide a clinical update on bone disease in cystinosis, but also to summarize the current experimental evidence demonstrating a functional impairment of bone cells in this disease and to discuss new working hypotheses that deserve future research in the field.

Abstract
In children with chronic kidney disease (CKD), optimal control of bone and mineral homeostasis is essential, not only for the prevention of debilitating skeletal complications and achieving adequate growth but also for preventing vascular calcification and cardiovascular disease. Complications of mineral bone disease (MBD) are common and contribute to the high morbidity and mortality seen in children with CKD. Although several studies describe the prevalence of abnormal calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone, and vitamin D levels as well as associated clinical and radiological complications and their medical management, little is known about the dietary requirements and management of calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) in children with CKD. The Pediatric Renal Nutrition Taskforce (PRNT) is an international team of pediatric renal dietitians and pediatric nephrologists, who develop clinical practice recommendations (CPRs) for the nutritional management of various aspects of renal disease management in children. We present CPRs for the dietary intake of Ca and P in children with CKD stages 2-5 and on dialysis (CKD2-5D), describing the common Ca- and P-containing foods, the assessment of dietary Ca and P intake, requirements for Ca and P in healthy children and necessary modifications for children with CKD2-5D, and dietary management of hypo- and hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. The statements have been graded, and statements with a low grade or those that are opinion-based must be carefully considered and adapted to individual patient needs based on the clinical judgment of the treating physician and dietitian. These CPRs will be regularly audited and updated by the PRNT.

Abstract
The prevalence of suboptimal Vitamin D levels is higher in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) than in the general population. Recent findings suggest that progression of CKD is linked to a suboptimal Vitamin D level. A high percentage of CKD patients have severe Vitamin D deficiency. These patients also have a low level of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D [25(OH)D] and consequently, a reduced ability to form active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. Various factors underlie the low level of 25(OH)D, including a sedentary lifestyle, decreased intake of Vitamin D due to CKD-related dietary restrictions, and decreased synthesis of Vitamin D in skin due to uremia. All these factors may be particularly influential in patients with progressively worsening CKD, including those receiving chronic dialysis. The objective of our study is to determine the prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency in children with CKD stages three to five and those receiving chronic dialysis, to ascertain whether there is a relationship between Vitamin D deficiency and the stage of CKD, and to identify any clinical correlates associated with the Vitamin D status. A single-center, retrospective review was conducted of 46 children (younger than 18 years) with CKD stages 3-5D who attended the renal clinic of the Red Cross Children's Hospital between October 2013 and November 2014. In total, 73.9% of the study population had suboptimal Vitamin D levels (43.5% and 30.4% had Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency, respectively). The prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency was significantly higher in older children (≥10 years of age) than in younger children (P = 0.000) but did not significantly differ between males and females (P = 0.693). In total, 12 of 15 black children (80%), 19 of 26 colored children (73.1%), two of four white children (50%), and one Asian child (100%) had suboptimal Vitamin D levels. Neither white nor Asian child had Vitamin D deficiency. In addition, 90% of patients undergoing chronic dialysis, 80% of whom were receiving peritoneal dialysis, had suboptimal Vitamin D levels. Age, weight, height, and the albumin concentration were significantly associated with the Vitamin D level. There was a positive linear relationship between the Vitamin D level and the serum albumin concentration (Spearman's rho correlation coefficient = 0.397, P = 0.007). In total, 87.5% of patients with nephrotic-range proteinuria had suboptimal Vitamin D levels, and 80% were Vitamin D deficient (P = 0.004). A higher percentage of Vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency cases was documented during the winter (24/34, 70.6%) than during the summer (10/34, 29.4%); however, this difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.685). Sub-optimal Vitamin D is high among children with moderate to severe CKD and significantly higher in those undergoing chronic dialysis. The emerging evidence of the role of Vitamin D in slowing progression of CKD highlights the need for monitoring and correction of Vitamin D levels in predialysis children.

Abstract
Mineral and bone disorder in chronic kidney disease (CKD-MBD) is a triad of biochemical imbalances of calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone and vitamin D, bone abnormalities and soft tissue calcification. Maintaining optimal bone health in children with CKD is important to prevent long-term complications, such as fractures, to optimise growth and possibly also to prevent extra-osseous calcification, especially vascular calcification. In this review, we discuss normal bone mineralisation, the pathophysiology of dysregulated homeostasis leading to mineralisation defects in CKD and its clinical consequences. Bone mineralisation is best assessed on bone histology and histomorphometry, but given the rarity with which this is performed, we present an overview of the tools available to clinicians to assess bone mineral density, including serum biomarkers and imaging such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and peripheral quantitative computed tomography. We discuss key studies that have used these techniques, their advantages and disadvantages in childhood CKD and their relationship to biomarkers and bone histomorphometry. Finally, we present recommendations from relevant guidelines-Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes and the International Society of Clinical Densitometry-on the use of imaging, biomarkers and bone biopsy in assessing bone mineral density. Given low-level evidence from most paediatric studies, bone imaging and histology remain largely research tools, and current clinical management is guided by serum calcium, phosphate, PTH, vitamin D and alkaline phosphatase levels only.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize the literature regarding alterations in bone health in patients with glomerular kidney disease and highlight areas in need of additional investigation. RECENT FINDINGS There is mounting evidence that children and adults with glomerular conditions, with or without compromised kidney function, comprise a distinct subgroup of patients with unique risk factors for altered bone health. Patients with glomerular kidney disease are exposed to both disease-related and treatment-related factors that affect bone structure and function. In addition to chronic kidney disease-related risk factors for impaired bone health, high rates of exposure to osteotoxic medications, varying degrees of systemic inflammation, and altered vitamin D metabolism may contribute to compromised bone health in individuals with glomerular disease. Further study is needed to better understand these risk factors and the complex interaction between the immune system and bone cells in glomerular disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Healthy African-Americans are known to have greater bone mineral density and decreased risk of fracture when compared to Caucasians. In fact, comparisons of bone histomorphometry in healthy South African children and adults reveal greater cortical thickness in Black subjects as compared to White. How these differences are reflected in the bone of American children and young adults on dialysis is unknown. METHODS Using tetracycline-labeled, iliac crest bone biopsies obtained in prior research protocols in pediatric and young adult dialysis patients, we compared trabecular and cortical parameters between non-Hispanic African-American subjects and non-Hispanic Caucasian subjects matched by age and gender. A linear regression model controlled for trabecular turnover and mineralization was used to further investigate the association of race with cortical thickness. RESULTS The matched cohort consisted of 52 subjects-26 African-American and 26 Caucasian. Turnover, mineralization and volume parameters in trabecular bone did not show significant differences between racial groups. Characterizing subjects by renal osteodystrophy type did not show a statistically significant difference although Caucasian patients had double the prevalence of mineralization defects. Consistent with this was a trend toward better mineralization parameters in African-Americans including shorter osteoid maturation time and lower osteoid volume. A sub-cohort of patients with cortical measures demonstrated greater median (IQR) cortical thickness in African-Americans (541 μm [354, 694]) than in Caucasians (371 μm [336, 446], p = 0.08). In a linear regression model controlling for trabecular turnover and mineralization, African-American subjects had 36.2% (95% CI 0.28 to 85.1%, p = 0.048) greater cortical thickness as compared to White subjects. There was no significant difference in cortical porosity. CONCLUSIONS Although likely limited by sample size, our findings suggest that, similar to findings in populations of normal children, African-American race in pediatric and young adults on dialysis is associated with greater cortical thickness. Additionally, there was a trend toward greater mineralization defects in Caucasian children. Both findings require further exploration with larger patient samples in order to thoroughly explore these racial differences and the implications on CKD-MBD treatment.

Abstract
Few data exist on the prospects in adulthood for children on chronic renal replacement therapy (RRT). This article summarizes the results of a comprehensive Dutch long-term follow-up study performed in 2000 and 2010 of patients with RRT onset at age <15 years between 1972 and 1992. After a median of 25.5 RRT years, patients had stayed 23% of RRT time on dialysis. We observed a 30 times greater mortality risk compared with age-matched peers with cardiovascular disease (CVD) as the main cause of death during 1972-2000 and infections during 2000-10. The observed shift towards infections was associated with more RRT time with a graft and receiving a stricter CVD protective treatment. For patients >40 years of age, motor disabilities affecting routine activities, skin cancer and severe fatigue were the most disabling sequelae. After 30 years of transplantation, 41% of the survivors had developed cancer, a life-threatening form of squamous cell skin carcinoma being most prevalent. Important delays in autonomy development and educational attainment and a relatively high level of unemployment were observed. Transplanted patients reported a good mental and physical quality of life, but the latter tended to decrease over time. A long period of dialysis was associated with all adverse somatic and psychosocial outcomes. Paediatric nephrologists should aim for transplantation at the earliest possible time and focus on autonomy and educational attainment. Nephrologists should focus on strict CVD prevention, adjustment of immunosuppression to the lowest possible dose and surveillance of malignancy-associated viral infections in patients with childhood end-stage renal disease.

Abstract
Pediatric renal osteodystrophy is characterized by skeletal mineralization defects, but the role of osteoblast and osteocyte maturation in the pathogenesis of these defects is unknown. We evaluated markers of osteocyte maturation and programmed cell death in iliac crest biopsy samples from pediatric dialysis patients and healthy controls. We evaluated the relationship between numbers of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23)-expressing osteocytes and histomorphometric parameters of skeletal mineralization. We confirmed that chronic kidney disease (CKD) causes intrinsic changes in bone cell maturation using an in vitro model of primary osteoblasts from patients with CKD and healthy controls. FGF23 co-localized with the early osteocyte marker E11/gp38, suggesting that FGF23 is a marker of early osteocyte maturation. Increased numbers of early osteocytes and decreased osteocyte apoptosis characterized CKD bone. Numbers of FGF23-expressing osteocytes were highest in patients with preserved skeletal mineralization indices, and packets of matrix surrounding FGF23-expressing osteocytes appeared to have entered secondary mineralization. Primary osteoblasts from patients with CKD retained impaired maturation and mineralization characteristics in vitro. Addition of FGF23 did not affect primary osteoblast mineralization. Thus, CKD is associated with intrinsic changes in osteoblast and osteocyte maturation, and FGF23 appears to mark a relatively early stage in osteocyte maturation. Improved control of renal osteodystrophy and FGF23 excess will require further investigation into the pathogenesis of CKD-mediated osteoblast and osteocyte maturation failure.

Abstract
AIMS The aims of this study were to develop a pharmacokinetic (PK) and PK-pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model of cinacalcet in adults and paediatrics with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) on dialysis, to test covariates of interest, and to perform simulations to inform dosing in paediatrics with SHPT. METHODS Cinacalcet PK, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and corrected calcium (cCa) time courses following multiple daily oral doses (1-300 mg) were modelled using a nonlinear mixed effects modelling approach using data from eight clinical studies. Model-based trial simulations, using adult or paediatric titration schemas, predicted efficacy (iPTH change from baseline and proportion achieving iPTH decrease ≥30%) and safety (cCa change from baseline and proportion achieving cCa ≤8.4 mg/dL) endpoints at 24 weeks. RESULTS Cinacalcet PK parameters were described by a two-compartment linear model with delayed first-order absorption-elimination (apparent clearance = 287.74 L h-1 ). Simulations suggested that paediatric starting doses (1, 2.5, 5, 10 and 15 mg) would provide PK exposures less than or similar to a 30 mg adult dose. The titrated dose simulations suggested that the mean (prediction interval) proportion of paediatric and adult subjects achieving ≥30% reduction in iPTH from baseline at Week 24 was 49% (36%, 62%), and 70.1% (62.5%, 77%), respectively. Additionally, the mean (confidence interval) proportion of paediatric and adult subjects achieving cCa ≤8.4 mg dL-1 at Week 24 was 8% (2%, 18%) and 23.6% (17.5%, 30.5%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Model-based simulations showed that the paediatric cinacalcet starting dose (0.2 mg kg-1 ), titrated to effect, would provide the desired PD efficacy (PTH suppression <30%) while minimizing safety concerns (hypocalcaemia).

An open-label, single-dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of cinacalcet in pediatric subjects aged 28 days to < 6 years with chronic kidney disease receiving dialysis. Pediatr Nephrol 2019; 34:145-154. [PMID: 30141180 PMCID: PMC6244811 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-018-4054-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2018] [Revised: 08/07/2018] [Accepted: 08/10/2018] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Calcimimetics, shown to control biochemical parameters of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), have well-established safety and pharmacokinetic profiles in adult end-stage renal disease subjects treated with dialysis; however, such studies are limited in pediatric subjects. METHODS In this study, the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of cinacalcet were evaluated in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and SHPT receiving dialysis. Twelve subjects received a single dose of cinacalcet (0.25 mg/kg) orally or by nasogastric or gastric tube. Subjects were randomized to one of two parathyroid hormone (PTH) and serum calcium sampling sequences: [(1) 2, 8, 48 h; or (2) 2, 12, 48 h] and assessed for 72 h after dosing. RESULTS Median plasma cinacalcet tmax was 1 h (range 0.5-4.0 h); mean (SD) Cmax and AUClast were 2.83 (1.98) ng/mL and 11.8 (8.74) h*ng/mL, respectively; mean (SD) half-life (t1/2) was 3.70 (2.57) h. Dose adjustments, based upon body weight (mg/kg), minimized the effects of age, body weight, body surface area, and body mass index on cinacalcet PK. Reductions in serum PTH levels from baseline were observed at 2 to 8 h post-dose (median 10.8 and 29.6%, respectively), returned towards baseline by 12-72 h and were inversely related to changes in the plasma cinacalcet PK profile. Single-dose cinacalcet was well-tolerated with no unexpected safety findings and a PK/PD, safety profile similar to adults. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, a single 0.25 mg/kg dose of cinacalcet was evaluated to be a safe starting dose in these children aged < 6 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone impairment appears to be a novel complication of nephropathic cystinosis despite cysteamine therapy. Its exact underlying pathophysiology is nevertheless unclear. The objective of this study was to evaluate bone status among patients included in the French Crystobs study. METHODS In addition to clinical data, bone status was evaluated using biomarkers (ALP, PTH, 25-D, 1-25D, FGF23), DXA (spine and total body), and high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) at the tibia and radius. Results were compared to age- and gender-matched healthy controls (1:2 basis) from the local reference cohorts. RESULTS At a median age of 22.5 (10.2-34.6) years, 10 patients with nephropathic cystinosis were included (2 receiving conservative therapies, 2 undergoing hemodialysis, 6 with a past of renal transplantation); 7 out of 10 patients complained of a bone symptom (past of fracture, bone deformations, and/or bone pain). Biochemicals and spine DXA did not show any significant abnormalities. Using HR-pQCT, significant decreases in cortical parameters (e.g., cortical thickness 850 (520-1100) versus 1225 (480-1680) μm; p < 0.05) and total volumetric bone mineral density (290 (233-360) versus 323 (232-406) mg/cm3; p < 0.05) were observed in cystinotic patients in comparison to controls at the tibia. There were no differences for trabecular parameters. Similar results were observed at the radius. CONCLUSIONS In this pilot study, bone impairment (rather cortical than trabecular) is a significant clinical problem in nephropathic cystinosis; 70% of patients displayed significant bone symptoms, during teenage or young adulthood. This new complication should be known by physicians because of its potential dramatic impact on quality of life.

Children on dialysis as well as renal transplanted children report severely impaired health-related quality of life. Qual Life Res 2018; 27:1445-1454.

Abstract
Objectives To assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) across three renal replacement therapy modalities (preemptive transplant, non-preemptive transplant, and dialysis) in comparison with the healthy norm and other chronic health conditions, and to explore related patient factors. Study design All prevalent end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients aged 8–18 years who spent at least 6 months on their current treatment modality in the Netherlands, Belgium, and part of Germany were approached to complete the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 (PedsQL™) questionnaire. We determined the differences between groups on PedsQL™ mean scores, the proportion of children with an impaired HRQoL (≥ 1 SD lower than the healthy norm), the proportion of problems on individual items of the PedsQL™, and the effect of time on current treatment. Linear regression models were used to explore determinants of HRQoL. Results 192 out of 278 patients (20% preemptive transplant, 58% non-preemptive transplant, 22% dialysis) filled in the PedsQL™ (response rate 69%). Independent of treatment modality, patients had significantly lower mean scores and consequently higher proportions of impaired HRQoL on almost all domains compared to the healthy norm and other chronic health conditions. Patients with a preemptive transplant only reported higher scores on physical health compared to the other treatment modalities. Having comorbidities was the most important determinant associated with lower HRQoL scores. Conclusion Dialysis and renal transplantation both have a severe impact on the HRQoL of children with ESRD. Physicians should be aware of this continuous burden. Furthermore, to develop tailored interventions for children with ESRD, qualitative studies are needed to gain more insight in the determinants of HRQoL in the different treatment modalities.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review summarizes recent findings on musculoskeletal health in three chronic renal conditions of childhood: chronic kidney disease stages 2-5D, nephrotic syndrome, and urolithiasis. Findings with important clinical implications warranting further investigation are highlighted. RECENT FINDINGS Recent cohort studies have demonstrated a high burden of fracture and progressive deficits of cortical bone in children with chronic kidney disease. Lower cortical density is associated with incident fracture and may be an important therapeutic target. Parathyroid hormone and calcium are independent correlates of cortical density, and modifiable factors for fracture include parathyroid hormone and phosphate binder use. Children with nephrotic syndrome, even with normal renal function, have evidence of abnormal bone metabolism and structure, and vitamin D deficiency may be an important modifiable risk factor in this population. Urolithiasis has been associated with reduced bone mineral density and is increasingly common in children and adolescents. Population-based data found a significantly increased risk of fracture in adolescent males and young women. SUMMARY Recent findings substantiate concern regarding the particular vulnerability of the growing skeleton to chronic renal disease. Studies are needed to determine how to optimize assessment and management of bone health in children with these conditions, particularly in terms of calcium and vitamin D requirements, with the goal of improving childhood bone accrual for lifelong fracture prevention.

Abstract
Peak bone mass is the maximum bone mass that accrues during growth and development. Consolidation of peak bone mass normally occurs during early adulthood. Low peak bone mass results from failure to achieve peak bone mass genetic potential, primarily due to bone loss caused by a variety of conditions or processes occurring at younger ages than usual. Recognized causes of low peak bone mass include genetic causes, endocrine disorders, nutritional disorders, chronic diseases of childhood or adolescence, medications, and idiopathic factors.

Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency is widely prevalent and often severe in children and adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although native vitamin D {25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]} is thought to have pleiotropic effects on many organ systems, its skeletal effects have been most widely studied. The 25(OH)D deficiency is causally linked with rickets and fractures in healthy children and those with CKD, contributing to the CKD-mineral and bone disorder (MBD) complex. There are few studies to provide evidence for vitamin D therapy or guidelines for its use in CKD. A core working group (WG) of the European Society for Paediatric Nephrology (ESPN) CKD-MBD and Dialysis WGs have developed recommendations for the evaluation, treatment and prevention of vitamin D deficiency in children with CKD. We present clinical practice recommendations for the use of ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) in children with CKD Stages 2-5 and on dialysis. A parallel document addresses treatment recommendations for active vitamin D analogue therapy. The WG has performed an extensive literature review to include meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials in healthy children as well as children and adults with CKD, and prospective observational studies in children with CKD. The Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system has been used to develop and grade the recommendations. In the absence of applicable study data, the opinion of experts from the ESPN CKD-MBD and Dialysis WGs is provided, but clearly GRADE-ed as such and must be carefully considered by the treating physician, and adapted to individual patient needs as appropriate.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In this paper, we review the pathogenesis and treatment of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD), especially as it relates to pediatric CKD patients. RECENT FINDINGS Disordered regulation of bone and mineral metabolism in CKD may result in fractures, skeletal deformities, and poor growth, which is especially relevant for pediatric CKD patients. Moreover, CKD-MBD may result in extra-skeletal calcification and cardiovascular morbidity. Early increases in fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels play a key, primary role in CKD-MBD pathogenesis. Therapeutic approaches in pediatric CKD-MBD aim to minimize complications to the growing skeleton and prevent extra-skeletal calcifications, mainly by addressing hyperphosphatemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Ongoing clinical trials are focused on assessing the benefit of FGF23 reduction in CKD. CKD-MBD is a systemic disorder that has significant clinical implications. Treatment of CKD-MBD in children requires special consideration in order to maximize growth, optimize skeletal health, and prevent cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) may cause severe lower limb deformities in children. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the temporary hemiepiphysiodesis for the correction of lower limb deformities in children with ROD. METHODS Guided growth correction by hemiepiphysiodesis has been performed in skeletally immature patients with deformities of the lower limbs caused by ROD. The correction of the mechanical axes of the lower limbs and its correction speed have been evaluated. RESULTS A total of seven patients with ROD, five males and two females, were treated with the above technique. The average age of the patients at their first surgery was 7.8 years (2.9 to 13.6). The average follow-up time 5.2 years (2.3 to 8). There were 13 valgus deformities and one varus deformity of the knee. The measure of the lower limb angular deformity was in the range of 10° to 47°. Restoration of normal mechanical axis was achieved in all patients at the final follow-up. Three patients relapsed and required further hemiepiphysiodesis. The average time for correction was 20 months (7 to 30). The average speed of correction was 0.49° per month for a tibia and 1.73° per month for a femur. There were two minor complications: a screw mobilisation and a screw breakage occurred during removal. CONCLUSION Guided growth technique by hemiepiphysiodesis is a mini-invasive surgical procedure that has been found to be effective for the correction of misalignment due to ROD in skeletally immature patients. The method has allowed progressive correction of the deformities at any age in childhood. These patients are predisposed to relapse to their deformities, thus a strict follow-up is required.

The Association between Elevated Levels of Peripheral Serotonin and Its Metabolite - 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic Acid and Bone Strength and Metabolism in Growing Rats with Mild Experimental Chronic Kidney Disease. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0163526. [PMID: 27711209 PMCID: PMC5053519 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0163526] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2015] [Accepted: 09/09/2016] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with disturbances in bone strength and metabolism. The alterations of the serotonergic system are also observed in CKD. We used the 5/6 nephrectomy model of CKD to assess the impact of peripheral serotonin and its metabolite– 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid on bone biomechanical properties and metabolism in growing rats. The animals were sacrificed one and three months after nephrectomy. Biomechanical properties were determined on two different bone types: the cortical bone of the femoral diaphysis using three-point bending test and the mixed cortico-trabecular bone by the bending test of the femoral neck. Biomechanical tests revealed preserved cortical bone strength, whereas work to fracture (W) and yield load (Fy) of mixed cortico-trabecular bone were significantly lower in CKD compared to controls. Serum activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), a bone formation marker, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP 5b) reflecting bone resorption, were similar in CKD and controls. ALP was associated with lower femoral stiffness and strength, and higher displacements and W. TRACP 5b was inversely associated with cortical Fu and W. The elevated peripheral serotonergic system in CKD was: inversely associated with stiffness but positively related to the displacements and W; inversely associated with cortical Fy but positively correlated with this parameter in cortico-trabecular bone; inversely associated with ALP in controls but positively correlated with this biomarker in CKD animals. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the distinct effect of mild degree of CKD on bone strength in rapidly growing rats. The impaired renal function affects the peripheral serotonin metabolism, which in turn may influence the strength and metabolism of bones in these rats. This relationship seems to be beneficial on the biomechanical properties of the cortico-trabecular bone, whereas the cortical bone strength can be potentially reduced.

Abstract
Introduction: Although some descriptive and cross-sectional studies have been reported about bone mass in chronic kidney disease (CKD) children, only a few studies investigated markers of bone turnover and the bone mass measurements.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between bone mineral density (BMD) and biochemical markers of bone turnover in hemodialysis (HD) children.
Patients and Methods: The children who had received dialysis for at least the preceding 6‐month were included. BMD was measured for total body, the lumbar spine and the femoral neck and the blood samples were tested to assess biochemical bone turnover markers.
Results: The study group was comprised of 27 patients with CKD, 9 males (33%) and 18 females (67%) with the mean±SD age of the subjects 14.9±4.5 years. Positive significant correlations of parathyroid hormone (PTH) with total body bone densitometry Z-score, lumbar spine and femoral neck Z-score(r=0.43, P=0.06; r=0.41, P=0.08 and r=0.45, P=0.05, respectively) was noted. In addition, positive significant correlations calcium and total body, lumbar spine and femoral neck Z-score (r=0.52, P=0.02; r=0.28, P=0.23 and r=0.36, P=0.12, respectively) was seen. Interestingly, a positive significant correlation between alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and lumbar spine Z-score was found (r=0.46, P=0.04), while the correlation of this parameter with total body and femoral neck Z-score was not significant (P>0.05).
Conclusion: In our study, majority of patients with CKD had low level of BMD. In addition, lower levels of calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), PTH and 25 (OH) vitamins D in patients with abnormal BMD Z-scores were detected.

Abstract
Pediatric renal osteodystrophy (ROD) is characterized by changes in bone turnover, mineralization, and volume that are brought about by alterations in bone resorption and formation. The resorptive and formative surfaces on the cancellous bone are separated from the marrow cavity by canopies consisting of a layer of flat osteoblastic cells. These canopies have been suggested to play a key role in the recruitment of osteoprogenitors during the process of bone remodeling. This study was performed to address the characteristics of the canopies above bone formation and resorption sites and their association with biochemical and bone histomorphometric parameters in 106 pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients (stage 2-5) across the spectrum of ROD. Canopies in CKD patients often appeared as thickened multilayered canopies, similar to previous reports in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. This finding contrasts with the thin appearance reported in healthy individuals with normal kidney function. Furthermore, canopies in pediatric CKD patients showed immunoreactivity to the PTH receptor (PTHR1) as well as to the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL). The number of surfaces with visible canopy coverage was associated with plasma parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, bone formation rate, and the extent of remodeling surfaces. Collectively, these data support the conclusion that canopies respond to the elevated PTH levels in CKD and that they possess the molecular machinery necessary to respond to PTH signaling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Computed tomography (CT) measurements can distinguish between cortical and trabecular bone density in vivo. High-resolution CTs assess both bone volume and density in the same compartment, thus potentially yielding information regarding bone mineralization as well. The relationship between bone histomorphometric parameters of skeletal mineralization and bone density from microcomputed tomography (μCT) measurements of bone cores from patients on dialysis has not been assessed. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Bone cores from 68 patients with ESRD (age =13.9±0.5 years old; 50% men) and 14 controls (age =15.3±3.8 years old; 50% men) obtained as part of research protocols between 1983 and 2006 were analyzed by bone histomorphometry and μCT. RESULTS Bone histomorphometric diagnoses in the patients were normal to high bone turnover in 76%, adynamic bone in 13%, and osteomalacia in 11%. Bone formation rate did not correlate with any μCT determinations. Bone volume measurements were highly correlated between bone histomorphometry and μCT (bone volume/tissue volume between the two techniques: r=0.70; P<0.001, trabecular thickness and trabecular separation: r=0.71; P<0.001, and r=0.56; P<0.001, respectively). Osteoid accumulation as determined by bone histomorphometry correlated inversely with bone mineral density as assessed by μCT (osteoid thickness: r=-0.32; P=0.01 and osteoid volume: r=-0.28; P=0.05). By multivariable analysis, the combination of bone mineral density and bone volume (as assessed by μCT) along with parathyroid hormone and calcium levels accounted for 38% of the variability in osteoid volume (by histomorphometry). CONCLUSIONS Measures of bone volume can be accurately assessed with μCT. Bone mineral density is lower in patients with excessive osteoid accumulation and higher in patients with adynamic, well mineralized bone. Thus, bone mineralization may be accurately assessed by μCT of bone biopsy cores. Additional studies are warranted to define the value of high-resolution CT in the prediction of bone mineralization in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the improvements in diagnosis and management of posterior urethral valves (PUVs), about one third of patients develop chronic kidney disease (CKD). Children with PUVs might have abnormal calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D and parathyroid hormone levels, which could affect their bone growth and overall health. OBJECTIVE The aim was to determine the relationship between kidney function, vitamin D deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism in children with PUVs. PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty-four children with PUVs were followed for a period of 3.64 ± 2.50 years after their initial presentation and management. Their laboratory parameters were compared with 20 age-, gender- and race-matched children in a control group, including: serum calcium, phosphorus, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, and kidney function. RESULTS Children with PUVs had significantly lower estimated kidney function (P = 0.006) and vitamin D levels (P < 0.001) and higher iPTH levels (P = 0.042). There were no significant between-group differences in serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, sodium, potassium, and bicarbonate levels. There was a strong correlation between the degree of vitamin D deficiency and hyperparathyroidism and the degree of kidney dysfunction (r = 0.52 and -0.52, respectively) in the PUV group. On a multivariate analysis, the kidney dysfunction was the only independent predictor of vitamin D deficiency (ρ = 0.271, P < 0.001), while kidney dysfunction, serum calcium and alkaline phosphatase were independent predictors for hyperparathyroidism (ρ = 0.925, P<0.001, ρ = 0.933, P<0.001 and ρ = 0.913, P < 0.001, respectively). DISCUSSION The prevalence of CKD in children with PUVs ranges from 30 to 60%. Patients with CKD are more likely to have vitamin D deficiency and display more-prominent hyperparathyroidism. Compared with a control group with normal kidney function, the present cohort had lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D and higher iPTH serum levels. Abnormal kidney function was a major predictor for both serum levels. In this cohort, there were no significant differences in serum calcium and phosphorus between children with PUVs and the control group, and also between those with and without CKD. On the contrary, vitamin D level decreased early in the disease and progressively declined thereafter, while iPTH was the opposite. These findings were comparable to previous studies. This study had some limitations because it was a single center cross-sectional non-randomized study. However, the findings in this study can be extrapolated to children with PUVs and CKD from other origins because the unit is considered as a referral center in the Middle East region. CONCLUSION Abnormal kidney function, vitamin D deficiency, and secondary hyperparathyroidism are prevalent in children with PUVs. Kidney function is the main determinant of vitamin D and parathyroid hormone levels. Efforts should be directed toward managing CKD, and controlling vitamin D deficiency and hyperparathyroidism in children after ablation of PUV.

Fracture Burden and Risk Factors in Childhood CKD: Results from the CKiD Cohort Study. J Am Soc Nephrol 2015; 27:543-50. [PMID: 26139439 DOI: 10.1681/asn.2015020152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 83] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2015] [Accepted: 04/29/2015] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Childhood chronic kidney disease (CHD) poses multiple threats to bone accrual; however, the associated fracture risk is not well characterized. This prospective cohort study included 537 CKD in Children (CKiD) participants. Fracture histories were obtained at baseline, at years 1, 3, and 5 through November 1, 2009, and annually thereafter. We used Cox regression analysis of first incident fracture to evaluate potential correlates of fracture risk. At enrollment, median age was 11 years, and 16% of patients reported a prior fracture. Over a median of 3.9 years, 43 males and 24 females sustained incident fractures, corresponding to 395 (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 293-533) and 323 (95% CI, 216-481) fractures per 10,000 person-years, respectively. These rates were 2- to 3-fold higher than published general population rates. The only gender difference in fracture risk was a 2.6-fold higher risk in males aged ≥15 years (570/10,000 person-years, adjusted P=0.04). In multivariable analysis, advanced pubertal stage, greater height Z-score, difficulty walking, and higher average log-transformed parathyroid hormone level were independently associated with greater fracture risk (all P≤0.04). Phosphate binder treatment (predominantly calcium-based) was associated with lower fracture risk (hazard ratio, 0.37; 95% CI, 0.15-0.91; P=0.03). Participation in more than one team sport was associated with higher risk (hazard ratio, 4.87; 95% CI, 2.21-10.75; P<0.001). In conclusion, children with CKD have a high burden of fracture. Regarding modifiable factors, higher average parathyroid hormone level was associated with greater risk of fracture, whereas phosphate binder use was protective in this cohort.

Abstract
Children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at high risk of developing impaired bone quality. Our aim was to investigate changes of bone quality in children with CKD in relation to their treatmant using two imaging techniques-dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and quantitative ultraSonography (QUS). Thirty-three patients with CKD (18 boys and 15 girls, mean age 10.37 ± 3.37 years) were evaluated with bone mineral density (BMD) measured by DXA at the lumbar spine and hip and with speed of sound (SOS) measured by QUS at the radius and tibia at the beginning and at the end of the study. The patient cohort consisted of 14 patients with CKD stage 3-4 not treated with dialysis (CKD group), 5 patients on peritoneal dialysis treatment (PD group) and 14 patients after kidney transplantation (RTx group). BMD measurements did not show any significant changes in CKD and PD patients during the study. There was a reduction in BMD measured at the lumbar spine, femoral neck and total hip in RTx patients that was approaching significance. During the 2-year follow-up, SOS measurements at the radius decreased significantly in PD patients, whereas SOS measurements at the tibia significantly improved in RTx patients. No significant changes in QUS parameters were recorded for patients in the CKD group. In conclusion, our study shows that QUS parameters seem to better reflect the state of hyperparathyroidism of renal osteodystrophy as they deteriorate significantly in patients on dialysis and improve after renal transplantation.

Abstract
Although traditional diagnosis and treatment of renal osteodystrophy focused on changes in bone turnover, current data demonstrate that abnormalities in skeletal mineralization are also prevalent in pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD) and likely contribute to skeletal morbidities that continue to plague this population. It is now clear that alterations in osteocyte biology, manifested by changes in osteocytic protein expression, occur in early CKD before abnormalities in traditional measures of mineral metabolism are apparent and may contribute to defective skeletal mineralization. Current treatment paradigms advocate the use of 1,25(OH)2vitamin D for the control of secondary hyperparathyroidism; however, these agents fail to correct defective skeletal mineralization and may exacerbate already altered osteocyte biology. Further studies are critically needed to identify the initial trigger for abnormalities of skeletal mineralization as well as the potential effects that current therapeutic options may have on osteocyte biology and bone mineralization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cortical bone represents nearly 80 % of human bone mass and is the major determinant of bone strength; however, cortical bone parameters and their relationship to trabecular bone in the pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD) population have not been evaluated. METHODS Biochemical values and cortical and trabecular bone parameters were assessed in 22 pediatric dialysis patients: 12 with high and 10 with normal to low trabecular bone turnover. RESULTS Trabecular bone turnover and osteoid volume correlated with parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels (r = 0.86, p < 0.01 and r = 0.93, p < 0.01, respectively). Internal cortical osteonal bone formation rate was directly related to alkaline phosphatase (r = 0.45, p < 0.05) and inversely related to insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 values (r = -0.55, p < 0.01), and internal cortical porosity was also related to serum alkaline phosphatase levels (r = 0.57, p < 0.01). A similar relationship was not found between external cortical bone formation rate and parameters of bone turnover and porosity, however. No relationship was found between trabecular and cortical bone formation rates. CONCLUSIONS Secondary hyperparathyroidism was associated with increased external cortical, relative to internal cortical, osteonal activity in pediatric dialysis patients. The clinical consequences of these changes and their response to therapy for secondary hyperparathyroidism remain to be defined.

Abstract
In children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) optimal control of mineral and bone disorder (MBD) is essential not only for the prevention of debilitating skeletal complications and for achieving adequate growth, but also for preserving long-term cardiovascular health. The growing skeleton is particularly vulnerable to the effects of CKD, and bone pain, fractures and deformities are common in children on dialysis. Defective bone mineralisation has been linked with ectopic calcification, which in turn leads to significant morbidity and mortality. Despite national and international guidelines for the management of CKD-MBD, the management of mineral dysregulation in CKD can be extremely challenging, and a significant proportion of patients have calcium, phosphate or parathyroid hormone levels outside the normal ranges. Clinical and experimental studies have shown that, in the setting of CKD, low serum calcium levels are associated with poor bone mineralisation, whereas high serum calcium levels can lead to arterial calcification, even in children. The role of calcium in CKD-MBD is the focus of this review.

Abstract
The accrual of healthy bone during the critical period of childhood and adolescence sets the stage for lifelong skeletal health. However, in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD), disturbances in mineral metabolism and endocrine homeostasis begin early on, leading to alterations in bone turnover, mineralization, and volume, and impairing growth. Risk factors for CKD-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) include nutritional vitamin D deficiency, secondary hyperparathyroidism, increased fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23), altered growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 axis, delayed puberty, malnutrition, and metabolic acidosis. After kidney transplantation, nutritional vitamin D deficiency, persistent hyperparathyroidism, tertiary FGF-23 excess, hypophosphatemia, hypomagnesemia, immunosuppressive therapy, and alteration of sex hormones continue to impair bone health and growth. As function of the renal allograft declines over time, CKD-MBD associated changes are reactivated, further impairing bone health. Strategies to optimize bone health post-transplant include healthy diet, weight-bearing exercise, correction of vitamin D deficiency and acidosis, electrolyte abnormalities, steroid avoidance, and consideration of recombinant human growth hormone therapy. Other drug therapies have been used in adult transplant recipients, but there is insufficient evidence for use in the pediatric population at the present time. Future therapies to be explored include anti-FGF-23 antibodies, FGF-23 receptor blockers, and treatments targeting the colonic microbiota by reduction of generation of bacterial toxins and adsorption of toxic end products that affect bone mineralization.

Abstract
The deregulation of bone and mineral metabolism during chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a daily challenge for physicians, its management aiming at decreasing the risk of both fractures and vascular calcifications. Renal transplantation in the context of CKD, with pre-existing renal osteodystrophy as well as nutritional impairment, chronic inflammation, hypogonadism and corticosteroids exposure, represents a major risk factor for bone impairment in the post-transplant period. The aim of this review is therefore to provide an update on the pathophysiology of mineral and bone disorders after renal transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical practice guidelines aim to improve the quality of care, yet for users of guidelines it is often not clear how these guidelines were developed and whether the recommendations are robust. We aimed to identify all current published guidelines for the management of children on chronic dialysis, assess the quality of their development and evaluate consistency among their recommendations. METHODS We searched Medline (1948 to January 2012), and relevant websites of guideline development programmes. Three reviewers appraised all 17 identified guidelines with the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) II instrument. RESULTS The guidelines were developed by five different professional associations. The overall mean AGREE II score from seven Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiatives (KDOQI) guidelines was considered sufficient (mean scores 64-75%), and from all other 10 guidelines poor (29-44%). Five out of seven KDOQI guidelines scored weak on applicability. We found important inconsistencies between recommendations concerning initiation of renal replacement therapy, management of haemoglobin level and the use of mupirocin to prevent exit-site infections. CONCLUSIONS While the recently developed KDOQI guidelines meet the modern quality standards, advice for implementation of these recommendations is lacking. There is an urgent need for international collaboration and coordination to ensure that the management of children on chronic dialysis is informed by relevant and high-quality evidence.

Abstract
Childhood and adolescence are crucial times for the development of a healthy skeletal and cardiovascular system. Disordered mineral and bone metabolism accompany chronic kidney disease (CKD) and present significant obstacles to optimal bone strength, final adult height, and cardiovascular health. Early increases in bone and plasma fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) are associated with early defects in skeletal mineralization. Later in the course of CKD, secondary hyperparathyroidism--caused by a combination of declining calcitriol values and phosphate retention--results in high-turnover renal osteodystrophy whereas increased levels of both phosphate and FGF23 contribute to cardiovascular disease. Treatment of hyperphosphatemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism improves high-turnover bone disease but fails to correct defects in skeletal mineralization. Because overtreatment may result in adynamic bone disease, growth failure, hypercalcemia, and progression of cardiovascular calcifications, therapy therefore must be titrated carefully to maintain optimal serum biochemical parameters according to stage of CKD. Newer therapeutic agents and new treatment paradigms may suppress serum PTH levels effectively while limiting intestinal calcium absorption and skeletal FGF23 stimulation and may provide future therapeutic alternatives for children with CKD.

Abstract
The identification of elevated circulating levels of the osteocytic protein fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), along with recent data linking these values to the pathogenesis of secondary hyperparathyroidism and to systemic complications, has changed the approach to the pathophysiology and treatment of disordered bone and mineral metabolism in renal failure. It now appears that osteocyte biology is altered very early in the course of CKD and these changes have implications for bone biology, as well as for progressive cardiovascular and renal disease. Since circulating FGF23 values are influenced by therapies used to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism, the effects of different therapeutic paradigms on FGF23 have important implications for mineral metabolism as well as for morbidity and mortality. Further studies are critically needed to identify the initial trigger for abnormalities of skeletal mineralization and turnover as well as the potential effects that current therapeutic options may have on osteocyte biology.

Abstract
This study was designed to follow the evolving process of growth, bone modeling and remodeling in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are at risk of developing CKD-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD). Fifteen patients, 4-15 years, were included with a median glomerular filtration rate of 46 (range 12-74) mL/min/1.73 m(2). Growth, bone mineral density (BMD) and markers of bone and mineral metabolism were investigated over a 5-year period. The median height standard deviation score was -0.65 at the start and 0.1 after 5 years, with a range from -1.7 to 1.7, which implies that growth was acceptable. Total body, femoral neck, and lumbar spine BMD increased over the study period (p < 0.0001). None had total body BMD Z-scores and lumbar spine Z-scores below -2.0 at follow-up. Most bone markers were within the reference intervals, but the formation markers of alkaline phosphatase and type I procollagen intact amino-terminal propeptide (PINP) were slightly increased in about one-third of the patients after 5 years. Eleven out of 15 CKD patients had increased parathyroid hormone levels at baseline and 10 patients after 5 years had increased parathyroid hormone levels. Taken together, this is the first 5-year longitudinal study of skeletal effects, growth and bone turnover in children with CKD. Growth and BMD Z-scores were well preserved on a group basis; however, these parameters varied significantly on an individual basis. We suggest, therefore, that it is difficult to state an overall recommendation and growth, bone mass, and markers of bone and mineral metabolism should be monitored and treated individually in CKD children.

Abstract
Children with long-standing chronic kidney disease (CKD) display clinical symptoms of bone disease, including bony deformities and fractures, which contribute to long-standing disability. Abnormalities in skeletal mineralization occur in a substantial proportion of this population and may contribute to chronic morbidity. Underscoring the potential contribution of parameters other than bone turnover to bone disease in CKD, a new definition for renal osteodystrophy (ROD), emphasizing the assessment of three key histologic descriptors, i.e., bone turnover (T), mineralization (M), and volume (V) (TMV), has been recommended in the assessment of all patients with CKD. Although bone biopsy is the only available method for assessing all three recommended areas of bone histology, this invasive procedure is not routinely used in any clinical setting; thus, a true understanding of the prevalence of abnormal turnover, defective mineralization, and altered bone volume throughout the course of CKD is limited. Recent data, however, have shed light on the progression of renal ROD throughout the course of CKD, including its early stages, as well as on the alterations in cell biology that accompany ROD.
