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
Mineral and bone disorders (MBD) are common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. For several decades, the first-line approach to controlling hyperparathyroidism in CKD was by exogenous calcium loading. Since the turn of the millennium, however, a growing awareness of vascular calcification risk has led to a paradigm shift in management and a move away from calcium-based phosphate binders. As a consequence, contemporary CKD patients may be at risk of a negative calcium balance, which, in turn, may compromise bone health, contributing to renal bone disease and increased fracture risk. A calcium intake below a certain threshold may be as problematic as a high intake, worsening the MBD syndrome of CKD, but is not addressed in current clinical practice guidelines. The CKD-MBD and European Renal Nutrition working groups of the European Renal Association (ERA), together with the CKD-MBD and Dialysis working groups of the European Society for Pediatric Nephrology (ESPN), developed key evidence points and clinical practice points on calcium management in children and adults with CKD across stages of disease. These were reviewed by a Delphi panel consisting of ERA and ESPN working groups members. The main clinical practice points include a suggested total calcium intake from diet and medications of 800-1000 mg/day and not exceeding 1500 mg/day to maintain a neutral calcium balance in adults with CKD. In children with CKD, total calcium intake should be kept within the age-appropriate normal range. These statements provide information and may assist in decision-making, but in the absence of high-level evidence must be carefully considered and adapted to individual patient needs.

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
BACKGROUND Infants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) form a vulnerable population who are highly prone to mineral and bone disorders (MBD) including biochemical abnormalities, growth retardation, bone deformities, and fractures. We present a position paper on the diagnosis and management of CKD-MBD in infants based on available evidence and the opinion of experts from the European Society for Paediatric Nephrology (ESPN) CKD-MBD and Dialysis working groups and the Pediatric Renal Nutrition Taskforce. METHODS PICO (Patient, Intervention, Comparator, Outcomes) questions were generated, and relevant literature searches performed covering a population of infants below 2 years of age with CKD stages 2-5 or on dialysis. Clinical practice points (CPPs) were developed and leveled using the American Academy of Pediatrics grading matrix. A Delphi consensus approach was followed. RESULTS We present 34 CPPs for diagnosis and management of CKD-MBD in infants, including dietary control of calcium and phosphate, and medications to prevent and treat CKD-MBD (native and active vitamin D, calcium supplementation, phosphate binders). CONCLUSION As there are few high-quality studies in this field, the strength of most statements is weak to moderate, and may need to be adapted to individual patient needs by the treating physician. Research recommendations to study key outcome measures in this unique population are suggested. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

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

Abstract
Introduction Older adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) can have low bone mineral density (BMD) with concurrent vascular calcification. Mineral accrual by the growing skeleton may protect young people with CKD from extraosseous calcification. Our hypothesis was that children and young adults with increasing BMD do not develop vascular calcification. Methods This was a multicenter longitudinal study in children and young people (5-30 years) with CKD stages 4 to 5 or on dialysis. BMD was assessed by tibial peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) and lumbar spine dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The following cardiovascular imaging tests were undertaken: cardiac computed tomography for coronary artery calcification (CAC), ultrasound for carotid intima media thickness z-score (cIMTz), pulse wave velocity z-score (PWVz), and carotid distensibility for arterial stiffness. All measures are presented as age-adjusted and sex-adjusted z-scores. Results One hundred participants (median age 13.82 years) were assessed at baseline and 57 followed up after a median of 1.45 years. Trabecular BMD z-score (TrabBMDz) decreased (P = 0.01), and there was a nonsignificant decrease in cortical BMD z-score (CortBMDz) (P = 0.09). Median cIMTz and PWVz showed nonsignificant increase (P = 0.23 and P = 0.19, respectively). The annualized increase in TrabBMDz (ΔTrabBMDz) was an independent predictor of cIMTz increase (R 2 = 0.48, β = 0.40, P = 0.03). Young people who demonstrated statural growth (n = 33) had lower ΔTrabBMDz and also attenuated vascular changes compared with those with static growth (n = 24). Conclusion This hypothesis-generating study suggests that children and young adults with CKD or on dialysis may develop vascular calcification even as their BMD increases. A presumed buffering capacity of the growing skeleton may offer some protection against extraosseous calcification.

Abstract
The effects of bone and mineral metabolism on skeletal formation, as well as vascular and soft tissue calcifications, define chronic kidney disease-metabolic bone disease (CKD-MBD). Treatment recommendations center on establishing adequate vitamin D status, phosphate control through diet restriction and phosphate binders, and the use of vitamin D analogs for specific indications. Several emerging bone-promoting therapies have now been studied in adults with CKD, including bisphosphonates and denosumab. These approaches are associated with improved bone mass and, in some cases, decreased fracture rates in adults with CKD-MBD and are of potential interest for some children with CKD-MBD. In children with CKD and immobilization and/or muscle weakness, bisphosphonates appear to be an effective treatment to increase bone mass; baseline assessment and careful monitoring of bone density and/or bone biopsy findings are important in consideration of any new bone therapies for children with CKD-MBD.

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
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) mineral bone disorder has long-term effects on skeletal integrity and growth. Abnormalities in serum markers of mineral metabolism are evident early in pediatric CKD. Bone deformities, poor linear growth, and high rates of fractures are common in children with CKD. Newer imaging modalities such as high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography shows promise in assessing bone mineral density more comprehensively and predicting incident fractures. A lack of large-scale studies that provide a comprehensive assessment of bone histology and correlations with serum biomarkers has contributed to the absence of evidence-based guidelines and suboptimal management of CKD mineral bone disorder in children with CKD.

Bone and muscle tissue are developed hand-in-hand during childhood and adolescence and interact through mechanical loads and biochemical pathways forming the musculoskeletal system. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is widely considered as both a bone and muscle-weakening disease, eventually leading to frailty phenotype, with detrimental effects on overall morbidity. CKD also interferes in the biomechanical communication between two tissues. Pathogenetic mechanisms including systemic inflammation, anorexia, physical inactivity, vitamin D deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism, metabolic acidosis, impaired growth hormone/insulin growth factor 1 axis, insulin resistance, and activation of renin-angiotensin system are incriminated for longitudinal uncoordinated loss of bone mineral content, bone strength, muscle mass, and muscle strength, leading to mechanical impairment of the functional muscle-bone unit. At the same time, CKD may also interfere in the biochemical crosstalk between the two organs, through inhibiting or stimulating the expression of certain osteokines and myokines. This review focuses on presenting current knowledge, according to in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies, concerning the pathogenetic pathways involved in the muscle-bone axis, and suggests approaches aimed at preventing bone loss and muscle wasting in the pediatric population. Novel therapeutic targets for preserving musculoskeletal health in the context of CKD are also discussed.

Serum PTH, PTH1R/ATF4 pathway, and the sRANKL/OPG system in bone as a new link between bone growth, cross-sectional geometry, and strength in young rats with experimental chronic kidney disease. Cytokine 2021; 148:155685. [PMID: 34411988 DOI: 10.1016/j.cyto.2021.155685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2020] [Revised: 07/21/2021] [Accepted: 08/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children is associated with deregulated parathyroid hormone (PTH), growth retardation, and low bone accrual. PTH can cause both catabolic and anabolic impact on bone, and the activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), a downstream target gene of PTH, is related to its anabolic effect. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) are PTH-dependent cytokines, which may play an important role in the regulation of bone remodeling. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of endogenous PTH and the bone RANKL/OPG system on bone growth, cross-sectional geometry and strength utilizing young, nephrectomized rats. The parameters of cross-sectional geometry were significantly elevated in rats with CKD during the three-month experimental period compared with the controls, and they were strongly associated with serum PTH levels and the expression of parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH1R)/ATF4 genes in bone. Low bone soluble RANKL (sRANKL) levels and sRANKL/OPG ratios were also positively correlated with cross-sectional bone geometry and femoral length. Moreover, the analyzed geometric parameters were strongly related to the biomechanical properties of femoral diaphysis. In summary, the mild increase in endogenous PTH, its anabolic PTH1R/ATF4 axis and PTH-dependent alterations in the bone RANKL/OPG system may be one of the possible mechanisms responsible for the favorable impact on bone growth, cross-sectional geometry and strength in young rats with experimental CKD.

Bone marrow adiposity inversely correlates with bone turnover in pediatric renal osteodystrophy. Bone Rep 2021; 15:101104. [PMID: 34337113 PMCID: PMC8318854 DOI: 10.1016/j.bonr.2021.101104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2021] [Revised: 06/30/2021] [Accepted: 07/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Bone marrow adiposity is associated with bone disease in the general population. Although chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased bone fragility, the correlation between marrow adiposity and bone health in CKD is unknown. We evaluated the relationship between bone marrow adipocytes and bone histomorphometry in 32 pediatric patients. We also evaluated the effects of growth hormone and calcitriol (1,25(OH)2D3)—two therapies commonly prescribed for pediatric bone disease—on marrow adiposity and bone histomorphometry. Finally, the adipogenic potential of primary human osteoblasts from CKD patients was assessed in vitro, both alone and in the presence of 1,25(OH)2D3. In cross-sectional analysis, marrow adipocyte number per tissue area (Adi.N/T.Ar) correlated with bone formation rate/bone surface (BFR/BS) in patients with high bone turnover (r = −0.55, p = 0.01) but not in those with low/normal bone turnover. Changes in bone formation rate correlated with changes Adi.N/T.Ar on repeat bone biopsy(r = −0.48, p = 0.02). In vitro, CKD and control osteoblasts had a similar propensity to transition into an adipocyte-like phenotype; 1,25(OH)2D3 had very little effect on this propensity. In conclusion, marrow adiposity correlates inversely with bone turnover in pediatric patients with high turnover renal osteodystrophy. The range of adiposity observed in pediatric patients with low/normal bone turnover is not explained by intrinsic changes to precursor cells or by therapies but may reflect the effects of circulating factors on bone cell health in this population. Marrow adipocyte numbers correlate with bone formation in high turnover renal osteodystrophy. Marrow adipocyte numbers do not correlate with osteoid accumulation in CKD. Circulating toxins may impair adipogenesis in low turnover osteodystrophy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This cohort study investigates the association between insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1), bone mineral density, and frailty phenotype in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS Forty-six patients (median age 14.5 years) were prospectively enrolled. Frailty phenotype was defined as the presence ≥ 3 of the following indicators: suboptimal growth/weight gain (body mass index height age < 5th percentile or height < 3rd percentile or loss of ≥ 10 percentiles/year in at least one parameter), low muscle mass (lean tissue mass height age < 5th percentile or loss of ≥ 10 percentiles/year), general fatigue reported by parent or child, and C-reactive protein > 3 mg/l. Lumbar bone mineral apparent density (LBMAD) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, body composition by bioimpedance spectroscopy, and IGF-1 by enzyme-labeled chemiluminescent immunometric assay. RESULTS Frailty phenotype (seven patients) was more frequent in advanced CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 ml/min/1.73m2) (p = 0.014). IGF-1 and LBMAD z-scores were lower in patients with suboptimal growth/weight gain (14 patients) (p = 0.013, p = 0.012), low muscle mass (nine patients) (p = 0.001, p = 0.009), and general fatigue (eight patients) (p < 0.001, p = 0.004). IFG-1 and LBMAD z-scores were associated with frailty phenotype (OR 0.109, 95% CI 0.015-0.798 and OR 0.277, 95% CI 0.085-0.903) after adjustment for CKD stage. IGF-1 z-score was associated with LBMAD < 5th percentile (six patients) (OR 0.020, 95% CI 0.001-0.450) after adjustment for CKD stage. The association between LBMAD and frailty phenotype lost significance after adjustment for IGF-1. CONCLUSION Frailty phenotype is more frequent in advanced pediatric CKD. IGF-1 is negatively associated with frailty phenotype and interferes in the association between frailty and LBMAD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hypervitaminosis A is well-described but overlooked in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and has been associated with hypercalcemia, contributing to mineral bone disease. Our objective is to assess prevalence of hypervitaminosis A and its association with bone health in an advanced-CKD population. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of 58 children with CKD 4-5 to examine the association between vitamin A levels and bone health and compared these values between a primarily formula-fed (FF) and nonprimarily formula-fed cohort (NFF). RESULTS Fifty-six of 58 patients (97%) had hypervitaminosis A with a mean vitamin A level of 1,475 ± 597 mcg/dL. When compared with the upper limit of normal vitamin A level for age, the FF group's vitamin A level was 2.9x upper limit of normal and the NFF group's vitamin A level was 2.2x upper limit of normal (P = .02). The mean calcium level was 10.3 mg/dL in the FF group and 9.8 mg/dL in the NFF group (P = .057). Percent of patients lower than, within, or greater than goal parathyroid hormone range was statistically significant with 15 (62%) of the FF group lower than goal and 16 (72%) of the NFF cohort greater than goal (P = .006). CONCLUSIONS We concluded vitamin A and calcium levels are higher in the FF versus the NFF population. FF patients are more likely to have parathyroid hormone levels lower than the goal range, placing them at risk for adynamic bone disease. We recommend monitoring vitamin A levels as part of routine nutritional assessments and dietary interventions to prevent hypervitaminosis A to improve bone health in late CKD.

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
Objective: This single center cross-sectional study aims to investigate the association between secondary hyperparathyroidism and body composition in pediatric patients with moderate (stage 3) and advanced (stage 4-5) chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: 61 patients (median age: 13.4 years) were included. Body composition indices, including lean tissue index (LTI) and fat tissue index (FTI), were measured using multi-frequency bio-impedance spectroscopy. Muscle wasting was defined as LTI adjusted to height-age (HA) z-score < -1.65 SD and high adiposity as FTI z-score > 1.65 SD. Serum mineral metabolism parameters, including serum intact parathormone (iPTH), calcium, phosphorus and 25-hydroxyvitamin D, as well as serum leptin were measured in each patient. In advanced CKD patients, the mean values of serum mineral laboratory parameters of the 6 months prior to body composition assessment were recorded, and alfacalcidol index, defined as weekly alfacalcidol dose (mcg/week) per pg/ml of iPTH × 1,000, was calculated. Results: In moderate CKD (31 patients), high iPTH (>90 ng/ml) was observed in 10 (32.3%) patients and was associated with higher FTI z-score (p = 0.022). Moreover, serum iPTH was negatively correlated to LTI HA z-score (rs = -0.486, p = 0.006), and positively correlated to serum leptin levels (rs = 0.369, p = 0.041). The positive correlation between FTI z-score and iPTH (rs = 0.393, p = 0.039) lost significance after adjustment for serum leptin. iPTH was positively associated with high adiposity (12 patients, 38.7%) after adjustment for the other mineral metabolism parameters (OR 1.023, 95% CI 1.002-1.045, p = 0.028). In advanced CKD (30 patients), no significant correlation was observed between iPTH and body composition indices and serum leptin levels. Eleven (36.7%) patients with muscle wasting presented lower alfacalcidol index (p = 0.017). Alfacalcidol index ≤ 24 was strongly associated with muscle wasting after adjustment for CKD stage and other mineral metabolism parameters (OR 7.226, 95% CI 1.150-45.384, p = 0.035). Conclusion: Secondary hyperparathyroidism is associated with high adiposity in moderate but not in advanced CKD, with leptin acting as a potential contributive factor. In advanced CKD, targeting higher alfacalcidol weekly dose per each unit of serum PTH seems beneficial for preventing muscle wasting.

Abstract
Complications of chronic kidney disease-associated mineral and bone disorders (CKD-MBD) are frequently observed in pediatric kidney transplant recipients and are associated with high morbidity, including growth failure, leg deformities, bone pain, fractures, osteonecrosis, and vascular calcification. Post-transplant CKD-MBD is mainly due to preexisting renal osteodystrophy and cardiovascular changes at the time of transplantation, glucocorticoid treatment, and reduced graft function. In addition, persistent elevated levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and fibroblast growth factor 23 may cause hypophosphatemia, resulting in impaired bone mineralization. Patient monitoring should include assessment of growth, leg deformities, and serum levels of calcium, phosphate, magnesium, alkaline phosphatase, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and PTH. Therapy should primarily focus on regular physical activity, preservation of transplant function, and steroid-sparing immunosuppressive protocols. In addition, adequate monitoring and treatment of vitamin D and mineral metabolism including vitamin D supplementation, oral phosphate, and/or magnesium supplementation, in case of persistent hypophosphatemia/hypomagnesemia, and treatment with active vitamin D in cases of persistent secondary hyperparathyroidism. The latter should be done using the minimum PTH-suppressive dosages aiming at the recommended CKD stage-dependent PTH target range. Finally, treatment with recombinant human growth hormone should be considered in patients lacking catch-up growth within the first year after transplantation.

Enteral Ca-Intake May Be Low and Affects Serum-PTH-Levels in Pre-school Children With Chronic Kidney Disease. Front Pediatr 2021; 9:666101.

Abstract
Treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) mineral bone disorder (MBD) is challenging in growing children due to the high amount of calcium needed for normal bone mineralization and the required dietary phosphate restriction, which often includes intake of calcium-rich products such as milk. Therefore, enteral calcium-intake (Ca-I) was calculated. Patients: We looked at pediatric CKD-Patients aged 0-6 years. Design: We used a retrospective analysis of Ca-I from dietary data collections. Ca-I below 60% or above 100% of the D-A-CH and the KDOQI reference values were considered as severe Ca deficiency or Ca overload, respectively. Results: We had 41 children, median age 1.1 (range 0-5.8) years, body weight 7.3 (2.4-19.9) kg, and length 68 (48-105) cm at the time of first dietary data collection. Renal function was classified as CKD stage III in 20, IV in 28, V in 44, and VD in 142 dietary data collections. At the first dietary data collection, 5 children were in the CKD stage III, 10 in IV, 9 in V, and 17 were on dialysis. Only one child progressed to a higher CKD stage. In total, 234 dietary data collections were analyzed, and 65 follow-up collections were available from 33 children after a time interval of 26 (1-372) days. The median caloric intake was 120 (47-217)% of D-A-CH RDI. In 149 (63.6%) of the dietary data collections, enteral Ca-I was below the target (<100% of the D-A-CH and KDOQI RDI). Severe Ca-deficiency was found in 11 (26%) and 4 (12%) of the children at the first and second dietary data collection, respectively. In total, 11 children were on Ca-containing phosphate binders. In dietary data collection 1 and 2, there were seven children. From these, 4/7 and 4/7 patients had an enteral total Ca-I above the 100% D-A-CH-limit or above the KDOQI limit, respectively. Absolute dietary Ca-I and Ca-I normalized to body weight correlated negatively with PTH (r = -0.196, p < 0.005 and r = -0.13, p < 0.05). Conclusion: Enteral Ca-I should repeatedly be monitored in CKD children because many may may otherwise be underexposed to enteral calcium and overexposed when calcium-containing phosphate binders are given. Our findings suggest a major impact of dietary calcium supply on bone health in pediatric CKD.

Abstract
Hyperphosphatemia is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Often seen as the "silent killer" because of its dramatic effect on vascular calcifications, hyperphosphatemia explains, at least partly, the onset of the complex mineral and bone disorders associated with CKD (CKD-MBD), together with hypocalcemia and decreased 1-25(OH)2 vitamin D levels. The impact of CKD-MBD may be immediate with abnormalities of bone and mineral metabolism with secondary hyperparathyroidism and increased FGF23 levels, or delayed with poor growth, bone deformities, fractures, and vascular calcifications, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. The global management of CKD-MBD has been detailed in international guidelines for adults and children, however, with difficulties to obtain an agreement on the ideal PTH targets. The clinical management of hyperphosphatemia is a daily challenge for nephrologists and pediatric nephrologists, notably because of the phosphate overload in occidental diets that is mainly due to the phosphate "hidden" in food additives. The management begins with a dietary restriction of phosphate intake, and is followed by the use of calcium-based and non-calcium-based phosphate binders, and/or the intensification of dialysis. The objective of this review is to provide an overview of the pathophysiology of hyperphosphatemia in CKD, with a focus on its deleterious effects and a description of the clinical management of hyperphosphatemia in a more global setting of CKD-MBD.

Abstract
Background Sclerostin and osteoprotegerin (OPG) are new markers of chronic kidney disease (CKD) mediated mineral bone disease (CKD-MBD) which were extensively evaluated in adult population. We aimed to evaluate the associations between serum levels of sclerostin/OPG and parameters of bone turnover and compare the serum levels of sclerostin/OPG in different stages of CKD in children. Methods 70 children with CKD stage 1-5, aged 2-21 years were examined. Serum levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), creatinine, total calcium, phosphorus , intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and vitamin D were measured. Serum sclerostin and OPG levels were measured in children with different levels of CKD stage and their association with bone turnover parameters were noted. Results We did not observe any significant correlation between serum levels of sclerostin and OPG and stages of CKD. A negative relationship was present between serum sclerostin and 25-OH vitamin D levels. Osteoprotegerin was positively and significantly correlated with ALP but serum sclerostin was negatively correlated with ALP. Conclusion Our study, which includes only children and adolescents with a growing skeleton under uremic conditions and excluding diabetes and atherosclerosis interference, is very valuable. We couldn't find any significant relationship between either sclerostin or OPG levels among different stages of CKD. Also our study demonstared a strong negative relationship between ALP and sclerostin levels and a strong positive relationship between ALP and OPG levels, reminding the importance of ALP levels to predict the bone-mineral status of the children with CKD.

Routine serum biomarkers, but not dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, correlate with cortical bone mineral density in children and young adults with chronic kidney disease.

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.

Abstract
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is an important complication of advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children, which is often difficult to treat with conventional therapy. The calcimimetic cinacalcet is an allosteric modulator of the calcium-sensing receptor. It has proven to be effective and safe in adults to suppress parathyroid hormone (PTH), but data on its use in children are limited. To date, studies in children only consist of two randomized controlled trials, nine uncontrolled interventional or observational studies, and case reports that report the efficacy of cinacalcet as a PTH-lowering compound. In 2017, the European Medical Agency approved the use of cinacalcet for the treatment of SHPT in children on dialysis in whom SHPT is not adequately controlled with standard therapy. Since evidence-based guidelines are so far lacking, we present a position statement on the use of cinacalcet in paediatric dialysis patients based on the available evidence and opinion of experts from the European Society for Paediatric Nephrology, Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder and Dialysis Working Groups, and the ERA-EDTA. Given the limited available evidence the strength of these statements are weak to moderate, and must be carefully considered by the treating physician and adapted to individual patient needs as appropriate. Audit and research recommendations to study key outcome measures in paediatric dialysis patients receiving cinacalcet are suggested.

Abstract
Purpose of review: (1) To provide commentary on the 2017 update to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) 2017 Clinical Practice Guideline Update for the Diagnosis, Evaluation, Prevention, and Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD); (2) to apply the evidence-based guideline update for implementation within the Canadian health care system; (3) to provide comment on the care of children with chronic kidney disease (CKD); and (4) to identify research priorities for Canadian patients. Sources of information: The KDIGO 2017 Clinical Practice Guideline Update for the Diagnosis, Evaluation, Prevention, and Treatment of CKD-MBD. Methods: The commentary committee co-chairs selected potential members based on their knowledge of the Canadian kidney community, aiming for wide representation from relevant disciplines, academic and community centers, and different geographical regions. Key findings: We agreed with many of the recommendations in the clinical practice guideline on the diagnosis, evaluation, prevention, and treatment of CKD-MBD. However, based on the uncommon occurrence of abnormalities in calcium and phosphate and the low likelihood of severe abnormalities in parathyroid hormone (PTH), we recommend against screening and monitoring levels of calcium, phosphate, PTH, and alkaline phosphatase in adults with CKD G3. We suggest and recommend monitoring these parameters in adults with CKD G4 and G5, respectively. In children, we agree that monitoring for CKD-MBD should begin in CKD G2, but we suggest measuring ionized calcium, rather than total calcium or calcium adjusted for albumin. With regard to vitamin D, we suggest against routine screening for vitamin D deficiency in adults with CKD G3-G5 and G1T-G5T and suggest following population health recommendations for adequate vitamin D intake. We recommend that the measurement and management of bone mineral density (BMD) be according to general population guidelines in CKD G3 and G3T, but we suggest against routine BMD testing in CKD G4-G5, CKD G4T-5T, and in children with CKD. Based on insufficient data, we also recommend against routine bone biopsy in clinical practice for adults with CKD or CKD-T, or in children with CKD, although we consider it an important research tool. Limitations: The committee relied on the evidence summaries produced by KDIGO. The CSN committee did not replicate or update the systematic reviews.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies investigating bone histology in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are scarce. METHODS Forty-two patients, mean age 11.3 ± 4.3 years with stage 5 CKD on dialysis, underwent double tetracycline labeling bone biopsy and the relationship between clinical features, biochemical markers, and bone densitometry (DXA) was investigated. RESULTS Low bone turnover was present in 59% of patients, abnormal mineralization in 29%, and low bone volume in 7%. Higher bone formation rate was found in non-Caucasian patients, whereas abnormal mineralization occurred in older and shorter children. We found no impact of gender and etiology of renal disease in our population. Parathormone (PTH) and alkaline phosphatase (AP) showed positive associations with bone turnover. ROC curve analysis showed a fair performance of biomarkers to predict TMV status. PTH < 2 times ULN independently associated with low bone turnover (RR 5.62, 95% CI 1.01-31.24; p = 0.049), in a model adjusted for race, calcitriol dosage, and calcium. It was also associated with abnormal mineralization (RR 1.35, 95% CI 1.04-1.75; p = 0.025), in a model adjusted for BMD scores, AP, age, and calcitriol. PTH and AP significantly predicted turnover and mineralization defect, although with low specificity and sensitivity, reaching a maximum value of 64% and 67%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS While PTH and AP were associated with turnover and mineralization, we recognize the limitation of their performance to clearly distinguish high from low/normal bone turnover and normal from abnormal mineralization. Our results reinforce the need to expand knowledge about renal osteodystrophy in pediatric population through prospective bone biopsy studies. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
The control of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in pediatric chronic kidney disease is of utmost importance. Even though parathyroid hormone (PTH) is an important biomarker of mineral and bone disorders associated to CKD (CKD-MBD), calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, and vitamin D are also crucial and should be assessed together. In pediatric dialysis, high PTH levels have been associated with impaired longitudinal growth, bone disease, cardiovascular comorbidities, left ventricular hypertrophy, anemia, and even mortality (when PTH levels were above 500 pg/mL, i.e., 8.3-fold the upper normal limit (UNL)). As such, high PTH levels are for sure deleterious, but too low PTH levels have also been shown to impair growth and to promote vascular calcifications because of the underlying adynamic bone. This manuscript is part of a pros and cons debate for keeping PTH levels within the normal range in pediatric CKD, focusing on the pros. High bone turnover lesions can occur at lower PTH levels than "current" guidelines would suggest; thus, PTH alone is not a good predictor of the underlying osteodystrophy. PTH results can vary locally depending on the assay. Existing guidelines for PTH targets are conflicting and based on a very little evidence. However, the 120-180 pg/mL (2- to 3-fold the UNL) range is common to most of the guidelines; it seems to be a reasonable target in children undergoing dialysis, even though it does not correspond to "normal" PTH levels. As always, the philosophy of PTH levels in pediatric dialysis may be balanced, i.e., "not too low, not too high, and keep phosphate under control."

Abstract
Secondary hyperparathyroidism is part of the complex of chronic kidney disease-associated mineral and bone disorders (CKD-MBD) and is linked with high bone turnover, ectopic calcification, and increased cardiovascular mortality. Therefore, measures for CKD-MBD aim at lowering PTH levels, but there is no general consensus on optimal PTH target values. This manuscript is part of a pros and cons debate for keeping PTH levels within the normal range in children with CKD, focusing on the cons. We conclude that a modest increase in PTH most likely represents an appropriate adaptive response to declining kidney function in patients with CKD stages 2-5D, due to phosphaturic effects and increasing bone resistance. There is no evidence for strictly keeping PTH levels within the normal range in CKD patients with respect to bone health and cardiovascular outcome. In addition, the potentially adverse effects of PTH-lowering measures, such as active vitamin D and calcimimetics, must be taken into account. We suggest that PTH values of 1-2 times the upper normal limit (ULN) may be acceptable in children with CKD stage 2-3, and that PTH levels of 1.7-5 times UNL may be optimal in patients with CKD stage 4-5D. However, standard care of CKD-MBD in children relies on a combination of different measures in which the observation of PTH levels is only a small part of, and trends in PTH levels rather than absolute target values should determine treatment decisions in patients with CKD as recommended by the 2017 KDIGO guidelines.

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
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
Impaired osteoblast and osteocyte maturation contribute to mineralization defects and excess FGF23 expression in CKD bone. Vitamin D sterols decrease osteoid accumulation and increase FGF23 expression; these agents also increase osteoblast maturation in vitro but a link between changes in bone cell maturation, bone mineralization, and FGF23 expression in response to vitamin D sterols has not been established. We evaluated unmineralized osteoid accumulation, osteocyte maturity markers (FGF23: early osteocytes; sclerostin: late osteocytes), and osteocyte apoptosis in iliac crest of 11 pediatric dialysis patients before and after 8 months of doxercalciferol therapy. We then evaluated the effect of 1,25(OH)2vitamin D on in vitro maturation and mineralization of primary osteoblasts from dialysis patients. Unmineralized osteoid accumulation decreased while numbers of early (FGF23-expressing) increased in response to doxercalciferol. Osteocyte apoptosis was low but increased with doxercalciferol. Bone FGF23 expression correlated with numbers of early, FGF23-expressing, osteocytes (r = 0.83, p < 0.001). In vitro, 1,25(OH)2vitamin D increased expression of the mature osteoblast marker osteocalcin (BGLAP) but only very high (100 nM) concentrations affected in vitro osteoblast mineralization. High doses (10 and 100 nM) of 1,25(OH)2vitamin D also increased the ratio of RANKL/OPG expression in CKD osteoblasts. Vitamin D sterols directly stimulate osteoblast maturation. They also increase osteocyte turnover and increase osteoblast expression of osteoclast differentiation factors, thus likely modulating osteoblast/osteoclast/osteocyte coupling. By increasing numbers of early osteocytes, vitamin D sterols increase FGF23 expression in CKD bone.

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
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
Purpose of review This review discusses the complications of nutrition, growth, neurocognitive function and mineral and bone disorder in pediatric chronic kidney disease. We discuss the most recent evidence-based methods for evaluation and prevention of these complications in addition to treatment strategies to address the complications and mitigate adverse effects. Recent findings Frequent nutritional assessment is important, particularly for infants and young children. Due to anorexia, oral aversion and dietary restrictions, weight gain may be difficult to achieve. Adequate nutrition is important for growth. Children with CKD tend to be short, which can impact quality of life and social achievements. Once nutrition is optimized, growth hormone is an effective, but underutilized strategy to improving terminal height. Mineral and bone disorder is a difficult but common complication of CKD which may present with and be driven by abnormalities in calcium, phosphorus and parathyroid hormone levels. Treatment strategies include dietary phosphorus restriction, phosphorus binders, and inactive vitamin D and active vitamin D sterols. Effective treatment may reduce the risk for bone deformities, growth abnormalities, fractures, cardiovascular disease and mortality. Children with CKD also suffer from cognitive difficulties. Control of anemia, aggressive childhood nutrition, and decreased exposure to heavy metals (via dialysate and dietary binding agents) has provided substantial improvement to the more profound neurocognitive sequelae observed prior to the 1990s. Current prevention of cognitive sequelae may best be directed at improved blood pressure control and augmented school support. Summary Pediatric CKD has systemic ramifications and can impact all aspects of normal development, including nutrition, growth, bone and mineral metabolism and neurocognitive function. Regular evaluation for disease complications and prompt treatment can reduce the untoward effects of CKD thereby improving the quality and duration of life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mineral and bone disorders associated to chronic kidney disease (CKD-MBD) are a daily challenge for pediatric nephrologists, with a significant risk of long-term bone and vascular comorbidities. METHODS This single-center study is a prospective transversal evaluation of pediatric CKD patients of our center, part of the European 4C study. In addition to clinical and biochemical data, vascular and bone evaluation was performed: 24-h blood pressure assessment, carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), pulse wave velocity (PWV), and high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) at the ultra-distal tibia. Results are presented as median (range). RESULTS At a median age of 12.9 years (10.2-17.9), SDS height of - 1.0 (- 3.3-1.2) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 33 mL/min/1.73m2 (11-72), 32 patients (8 girls) were evaluated. Median calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and 25 OHD3 levels were 2.44 mmol/L (2.24-2.78), 1.43 mmol/L (1.0-2.7), 80 pg/mL (9-359), and 70 nmol/L (32-116), respectively. Bivariate Spearman and backward multivariable analyses showed that calcium and bone trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), were positively associated with diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure (both for the 24 h, day and night assessment), whereas PTH and vitamin D did not predict blood pressure. CONCLUSIONS We show that the greater the serum levels of calcium, the greater the (diastolic and mean) blood pressure; moreover, the greater the Tb. Th, the greater the (diastolic and mean) blood pressure. The role of calcium supplements to explain such findings in early pediatric CKD can be discussed.

Abstract
Bone biopsy is currently the only means to accurately assess renal osteodystrophy and responses to therapeutic interventions. With sedation, the technique is relatively painless, and complications are uncommon. Bone biopsy should be considered when the aetiology of symptoms or biochemical abnormalities is in question, and results may lead to changes in therapy. Although it remains prudent to use antiresorptive drugs cautiously in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3a-4 and low bone mineral density, bone biopsy may not be warranted before commencing therapy in these patients. Histomorphometric indices adopted for bone biopsy assessment are turnover (T), mineralisation (M) and volume (V). Often, only measurements of trabecular bone are reported; however, marked cortical changes are common in CKD and may be critical to bone structure and integrity. MicroCT of bone biopsies can rapidly assess static parameters and provides information on the cortical and trabecular compartments that may influence management. Limitations of bone biopsy include the time required for pre-biopsy tetracycline labelling and sample processing, and a paucity of facilities to process and report samples. Patients with CKD may not respond predictably to treatments, and because the biopsy sample is illustrative of activity at only one skeletal site and one point in time, assessment of real-time laboratory trends is always required. Optimally, we need a non-invasive 'virtual bone biopsy' that provides information for initiating and monitoring therapy. However, bone biopsy is the current standard by which the accuracy of investigational imaging techniques, hormonal values and biochemical turnover markers are judged.

Abstract
Optimal care of the pediatric end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patient on chronic dialysis is complex and requires multidisciplinary care as well as patient/caregiver involvement. The dialysis team, along with the family and patient, should all play a role in choosing the dialysis modality which best meets the patient's needs, taking into account special considerations and management issues that may be particularly pertinent to children who receive peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis. Meticulous attention to dialysis adequacy in terms of solute and fluid removal, as well as to a variety of clinical manifestations of ESRD, including anemia, growth and nutrition, chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder, cardiovascular health, and neurocognitive development, is essential. This review highlights current recommendations and advances in the care of children on dialysis with a particular focus on preventive measures to minimize ESRD-associated morbidity and mortality. Advances in dialysis care and prevention of complications related to ESRD and dialysis have led to better survival for pediatric patients on dialysis.

Abstract
Chronic dialysis is rarely required during childhood. Despite technical advances that have facilitated the treatment of even the youngest children, morbidity and mortality remain higher with chronic dialysis than after renal transplantation. The cost of equipment and skilled personnel to provide the service compromises the availability of such dialysis in parts of the world where financial resources are constrained. This Review describes the incidence and causes of end-stage kidney disease in children on long-term dialysis, and highlights management issues, including dialysis modality selection, complications, and patient outcome data.

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.

Clinical practice recommendations for treatment with active vitamin D analogues in children with chronic kidney disease Stages 2-5 and on dialysis. Nephrol Dial Transplant 2017; 32:1114-1127.

Abstract
In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), renal synthesis of active vitamin D [1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D)] declines and is associated with hypocalcaemia, secondary hyperparathyroidism and the spectrum of CKD-mineral and bone disorder (MBD). In advanced CKD, active vitamin D analogues, including alfacalcidol, calcitriol and paricalcitol, are routinely administered. There are few studies on the use of vitamin D analogues in children with CKD and on dialysis. It is difficult to define bone-specific outcomes that can guide treatment with active vitamin D analogues in children with CKD-MBD. A core working group (WG) of the European Society for Paediatric Nephrology (ESPN) CKD-MBD and Dialysis WGs has developed recommendations for the use of active vitamin D therapy in children with CKD and on dialysis. A second document in parallel with this one covers treatment recommendations for native vitamin D therapy. The WGs have performed an extensive literature review to include systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials in adults and children with CKD and prospective observational studies in children with CKD. The Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system was 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.

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 Bone disease is common in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and when untreated may result in bone deformities, bone pain, fractures and reduced growth rates. This is an update of a review first published in 2010. OBJECTIVES This review aimed to examine the benefits (improved growth rates, reduced risk of bone fractures and deformities, reduction in PTH levels) and harms (hypercalcaemia, blood vessel calcification, deterioration in kidney function) of interventions (including vitamin D preparations and phosphate binders) for the prevention and treatment of metabolic bone disease in children with CKD. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Kidney and Transplant Specialised Register to 8 September 2015 through contact with the Trial's Search Co-ordinator using search terms relevant for this review. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing different interventions used to prevent or treat bone disease in children with CKD stages 2 to 5D. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Data were assessed for study eligibility, risk of bias and extracted independently by two authors. Results were reported as risk ratios (RR) or risk differences (RD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for dichotomous outcomes. For continuous outcomes the mean difference (MD) or standardised mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was used. Statistical analyses were performed using the random-effects model. MAIN RESULTS This review included 18 studies (576 children); three new studies were added for this update. Adequate sequence generation and allocation concealment were reported in 12 and 11 studies respectively. Only four studies reported blinding of children, investigators or outcome assessors. Nine studies were at low risk of attrition bias and 12 studies were at low risk of selective reporting bias.Eight different interventions were compared. Two studies compared intraperitoneal (IP) with oral calcitriol. PTH levels were significantly lower with IP compared with oral calcitriol (1 study: MD -501.00 pg/mL, 95% CI -721.54 to -280.46) but the number of children with abnormal bone histology did not differ between treatments. Three studies compared intermittent with daily oral calcitriol. The change in mean height SDS (1 study: MD 0.13, 95% CI -0.22 to 0.48) and the percentage fall in parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels at eight weeks (1 study: MD -5.50%, 95% CI -32.37 to 21.37) and 12 months (1 study: MD -6.00% 95% CI -25.27 to 13.27) did not differ between treatments.Four studies compared active vitamin D preparations (calcitriol, paricalcitol, 1α-hydroxyvitamin D) with placebo or no specific treatment. One study reported vitamin D preparations significantly reduced PTH levels (-55.00 pmol/L, 95% CI -83.03 to -26.97). There was no significant difference in hypercalcaemia risk with vitamin D preparations compared with placebo or no specific treatment (4 studies, 103 children: RD 0.08 mg/dL, 95% CI -0.08 to 0.24). However, there was heterogeneity (I(2) = 55%) with one study showing a significantly greater risk of hypercalcaemia with intravenous (IV) calcitriol administration. Two studies (97 children) compared calcitriol with other vitamin D preparations and both found no significant differences in growth between preparations.Two studies compared ergocalciferol in patients with CKD and vitamin D deficiency. Elevated PTH levels developed significantly later in ergocalciferol treated children (1 study: hazard ratio 0.30, 95% CI 0.09 to 0.93) though the number with elevated PTH levels did not differ between groups (1 study, 40 children: RR 0.33, 95% CI 0.11 to 1.05).Two studies compared calcium carbonate with aluminium hydroxide as phosphate binders. One study (17 children: MD -0.86 SDS, 95% CI -2.24 to 0.52) reported no significant difference in mean final height SDS between treatments. Three studies compared sevelamer with calcium-containing phosphate binders. There were no significant differences in the final calcium, phosphorus or PTH levels between binders. More episodes of hypercalcaemia occurred with calcium-containing binders. One study reported no significant differences between calcitriol and doxercalciferol in bone histology or biochemical parameters. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Bone disease, assessed by changes in PTH levels, is improved by all vitamin D preparations. However, no consistent differences between routes of administration, frequencies of dosing or vitamin D preparations were demonstrated. Although fewer episodes of high calcium levels occurred with the non-calcium-containing phosphate binder, sevelamer, compared with calcium-containing binders, there were no differences in serum phosphorus and calcium overall and phosphorus values were reduced to similar extents. All studies were small with few data available on patient-centred outcomes (growth, bone deformities) and limited data on biochemical parameters or bone histology resulting in considerable imprecision of results thus limiting the applicability to the care of children with CKD.

Abstract
Background Bone fragility is common post solid organ transplantation but little is known about bone pathology on a tissue level. Abnormal osteocytic protein expression has been linked to compromised bone health in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and immunosuppressant medications may impact osteocyte function. Methods Transiliac bone biopsies were obtained from 22 pediatric solid organ allograft recipients (average age 15.6 years) an average of 6.3 ± 1.2 years after transplantation and from 12 pediatric pre-dialysis CKD patients (average age 13.2 years). Histomorphometry and immunohistochemistry for FGF23, DMP1, sclerostin, and osteopontin were performed on all biopsies. Results FGF23 and sclerostin were increased in transplant recipients relative to non-transplant CKD, regardless of the type of allograft received and despite, in the case of liver and heart recipients, a higher GFR. Bone DMP1 expression was higher in liver or heart than in kidney recipients, concomitant with higher serum phosphate values. Osteopontin expression was higher in CKD than in transplant recipients (p<0.01). Bone FGF23 and sclerostin correlated directly (r = 0.38, p<0.05); bone FGF23 expression and osteoid thickness correlated inversely (r = - 0.46, p<0.01). Conclusions Solid-organ transplantation is associated with increased FGF23 and sclerostin expression. The contribution of these findings to compromised bone health post transplantation warrants further evaluation.

Abstract
This study aims to evaluate BMD and bone biomarkers and to investigate the effects of immunosuppressives on bone disease after RTx. Thirty-three RTR aged 16.7 ± 3.7 yr and healthy controls (n = 32) were enrolled. There was no difference between pre-RTx BMD and BMD at the time of study (45.9 ± 30.9 months after RTx), while both values were lower than controls (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively). Worst BMD scores were obtained at sixth month after RTx (-0.2 ± 0.9) and best at fourth year (1.4 ± 1.3). 25-hydroxy-(OH) vitamin D and OPG were higher in RTR (p < 0.001). BMD z scores negatively correlated with OPG and cumulative CS doses at the time of study (r = -0.344, p < 0.05 and r = -0.371, p < 0.05, respectively). Regression analysis revealed OPG as the only predictor of BMD (β -0.78, 95% CI -0.004 to -0.013, p < 0.001). The increase in OPG, a significant predictor of BMD, could either be secondary to graft dysfunction or for protection against bone loss. CS doses should be minimized to avoid their untoward effects on bone metabolism.

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
Osteocytes regulate bone turnover and mineralization in chronic kidney disease. As osteocytes are derived from osteoblasts, alterations in osteoblast function may regulate osteoblast maturation, osteocytic transition, bone turnover, and skeletal mineralization. Thus, primary osteoblast-like cells were cultured from bone chips obtained from 24 pediatric ESKD patients. RNA expression in cultured cells was compared with RNA expression in cells from healthy individuals, to RNA expression in the bone core itself, and to parameters of bone histomorphometry. Proliferation and mineralization rates of patient cells were compared with rates in healthy control cells. Associations were observed between bone osteoid accumulation, as assessed by bone histomorphometry, and bone core RNA expression of osterix, matrix gla protein, parathyroid hormone receptor 1, and RANKL. Gene expression of osteoblast markers was increased in cells from ESKD patients and signaling genes including Cyp24A1, Cyp27B1, VDR, and NHERF1 correlated between cells and bone cores. Cells from patients with high turnover renal osteodystrophy proliferated more rapidly and mineralized more slowly than did cells from healthy controls. Thus, primary osteoblasts obtained from patients with ESKD retain changes in gene expression ex vivo that are also observed in bone core specimens. Evaluation of these cells in vitro may provide further insights into the abnormal bone biology that persists, despite current therapies, in patients with ESKD.
