[PMID: 34372813 PMCID: PMC8353797 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-021-02482-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2021] [Accepted: 07/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Parathyroid hormone (PTH) acts on bone to indirectly increase the number and activity of osteoclasts. Thus, PTH has a stimulatory effect on bone resorption and upregulates bone turnover. However, the responsiveness of bone to PTH varies widely among patients receiving dialysis. In fact, relative to the serum PTH level, the level of serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-5b (TRACP-5b), a bone resorption marker derived from osteoclasts, varies as well. This study aimed to examine factors related to bone responsiveness to PTH in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis (HD). METHODS This study included patients receiving chronic HD in Kawasaki Municipal Tama Hospital (Kanagawa, Japan) and Yonaha Medical Clinic (Okinawa, Japan) and excluded patients who received HD for less than 6 months, those who received a combination of HD and peritoneal dialysis, and those who had cancer bone metastases or myeloma. The TRACP-5b/intact PTH (iPTH) ratio was created as an index of bone responsiveness to PTH, categorized into tertiles (low, medium, and high), and a cross-sectional study was conducted. P < 0.05 indicated statistically significant differences. RESULTS One hundred and six patients were analyzed. Age (P = 0.010), body mass index (BMI) (P = 0.003), use of calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) agonists (P = 0.008), use of vitamin D receptor activators (VDRAs) (P = 0.012), plasma iPTH level (P < 0.001), serum 1,25(OH)2D level (P = 0.003), and serum TRACP-5b level (P < 0.001) were significantly different among the three categories. In the single linear regression analysis, age (P = 0.016), corrected serum calcium level (P = 0.007), and ln [1,25(OH)2D] (P = 0.044) showed a significant positive correlation with ln [TRACP-5b/iPTH], whereas BMI (P = 0.026), use of CaSR agonists (P = 0.001), use of VDRAs (P = 0.009), and serum phosphorus level (P = 0.018) showed a significant negative correlation. Upon conducting multiple linear regression analysis incorporating significant variables in the single linear regression analysis, a significant negative correlation was observed between the TRACP-5b/iPTH ratio and intravenous administration of a CaSR agonist (etelcalcetide) and/or a VDRA (calcitriol or maxacalcitol) in all the adjusted models. CONCLUSIONS Bone responsiveness to PTH is negatively correlated with the intravenous administration of a CaSR agonist and/or a VDRA in patients undergoing chronic HD.

Abstract
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common and serious complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). It affects more than 300,000 end-stage renal disease patients treated by dialysis and probably more than 3 million patients with CKD worldwide. For a long time, traditional therapies for SHPT had consisted of correcting the hypocalcemia using calcium salts and vitamin D derivatives, preventing the hyperphosphatemia by calcium- or aluminum-containing intestinal phosphate binders, and recently by using no metal-containing intestinal phosphate binders; however, these therapies are limited by the occurrence of hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and the lack of specificity and long-term efficacy. Moreover, surgical parathyroidectomy (PTX), which remains the gold standard therapy, is not exempt from risk. PTX exposes patients to anesthesia risks, presurgical and postsurgical complications, and in many cases a permanent state of hypoparathyroidism. Thus, the medical treatment of SHPT became an ideal target for the development of new therapies and strategies. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of these new therapies, including vitamin D analogs, intestinal phosphate binders, calcimimetics, parathyroidectomies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, azydothymidine, anticalcineurins, N-terminal truncated parathyroid hormone fragments, bisphosphonates, calcitonin, osteoprotegerin, and others. The use of these new therapies alone or in combination may help to optimize the future treatment of SHPT in CKD patients.
