Abstract
AIM Kidney transplant recipients are at high risk of fracture due to many factors such as nutritional status, hyperparathyroidism, acidosis and steroid administration. The current meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively analyse the incidence and risk factors of fracture in kidney transplant recipients. METHODS A systematic search on Embase, Web of Science, PubMed and Cochrane Library until November 2023 was performed. RStudio software was used to analyse data. RESULTS Twenty-eight eligible studies containing 310 530 kidney transplant recipients were included in the analysis. The pooled incidence of fracture was 10% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 7%-13%) generally. When divided by regions, it was further observed that the pooled incidence of fracture was 13% (95% CI: 9%-17%) in Europe, 11% (95% CI: 6%-16%) in North America, 7% (95% CI: 3%-11%) in Asia. Regarding the risk factors, pooled analysis revealed that age of recipient (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.50, 95% CI: 1.17-1.91), female sex (HR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.36-1.53), pretransplantation diabetes (HR = 1.76, 95% CI: 1.58-1.97), pretransplantation fracture history (HR = 2.28, 95% CI: 1.86-2.78), dialysis duration (HR = 1.09, 95% CI: 1.01-1.17) and deceased donor (HR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.05-1.39) related to higher risk of fracture. The general quality of included studies was acceptable, and no publication bias existed except for the analysis between age of recipient and fracture incidence; further trim and fill method indicated age of recipient showed a correlation trend with the fracture incidence without the statistical significance. CONCLUSION The pooled incidence of fracture reaches 10% in kidney transplant recipients, which relates to age of recipient, female sex, pretransplantation diabetes or fracture history, dialysis duration and decease donor.

Impact of hyperparathyroidism on allograft histology and function after kidney transplantation: Rethinking its causal role in graft dysfunction. Clin Transplant 2024; 38:e15322. [PMID: 38678589 DOI: 10.1111/ctr.15322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The causal relationship between hyperparathyroidism and kidney graft dysfunction remains inconclusive. Applying Bradford-Hill's temporality and consistency causation principles, we assessed the effect of parathyroid hormone (iPTH) on graft histology and eGFR trajectory on kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) with normal time-zero graft biopsies. METHODS Retrospective cohort study evaluating the effect of hyperparathyroidism on interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IF/TA) development in 1232 graft biopsies. Pre-transplant hyperparathyroidism was categorized by KDIGO or KDOQI criteria, and post-transplant hyperparathyroidism by iPTH >1× and >2× the URL 1 year after transplantation. RESULTS We included 325 KTRs (56% female, age 38 ± 13 years, follow-up 4.2 years [IQR: 2.7-5.8]). Based on pre-transplant iPTH levels, 26% and 66% exceeded the KDIGO and KDOQI targets, respectively. There were no significant differences in the development of >25% IF/TA between KTRs with pre-transplant iPTH levels above and within target range according to KDIGO (53% vs. 62%, P = .16, HR.94 [95% CI:.67-1.32]) and KDOQI (60% vs. 60%, P = 1.0, HR 1.19 [95% CI:.88-1.60]) criteria. Similarly, there were no differences when using 1 year post-transplant iPTH cut-offs > 88 pg/mL (58% vs. 64%, P = .33) and > 176 pg/mL (55% vs. 62%, P = .19). After adjusting for confounders, no significant differences were observed in eGFR trajectories among the iPTH strata. CONCLUSION In young KTRs who received a healthy graft, no association was found between increased pre- and post-transplant iPTH levels and graft dysfunction, as assessed histologically and through eGFR trajectory. The concept of hyperparathyroidism as a risk factor for graft dysfunction in recipients at low risk requires reevaluation.

Abstract
Introduction Musculoskeletal disorders could be associated with metabolic disorders that are common after kidney transplantation, which could reduce the quality of life of patients. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of both musculoskeletal and metabolic disorders in kidney transplant patients. Methods MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMBASE and Web of Science were searched from their inception up to June 2023. DerSimonian and Laird random-effects method was used to calculate pooled prevalence estimates and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results 21,879 kidney transplant recipients from 38 studies were analysed. The overall proportion of kidney transplant patients with musculoskeletal disorders was 27.2% (95% CI: 18.4-36.0), with low muscle strength (64.5%; 95% CI: 43.1-81.3) being the most common disorder. Otherwise, the overall proportion of kidney transplant patients with metabolic disorders was 37.6% (95% CI: 21.9-53.2), with hypovitaminosis D (81.8%; 95% CI: 67.2-90.8) being the most prevalent disorder. Conclusion The most common musculoskeletal disorders were low muscle strength, femoral osteopenia, and low muscle mass. Hypovitaminosis D, hyperparathyroidism, and hyperuricemia were also the most common metabolic disorders. These disorders could be associated with poorer quality of life in kidney transplant recipients. Systematic Review Registration https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier [CRD42023449171].

Abstract
Kidney transplant recipients are at high risk for fractures, primarily due to post-transplant bone disease. This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service, including 10 083 kidney transplant recipients examined from 2009 to 2017. We assessed fracture incidence, emphasizing vertebral and hip fractures, and the association of physical activity and traditional risk factors with fracture risk. Kidney transplant recipients were categorized into three groups according to physical activity levels: non-activity, metabolic equivalent of task (MET) 1-499, and MET ≥500. Physical activity was associated with a decreased risk of all types of fractures: any (MET 1-499: adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) .75; 95% confidence interval (CI) .62-.92, MET ≥500: aHR .84; 95% CI .70-1.00), vertebral (MET 1-499: aHR .69; 95% CI .49-.98, MET ≥500: aHR .67; 95% CI .49-.91), and hip (MET 1-499: aHR .43; 95% CI .23-.81) fractures. Additionally, older age, female sex, and diabetes were associated with an increased fracture risk. The assessment of physical activity and traditional risk factors could improve fracture risk prediction. Our findings emphasize the need for further research to establish optimal physical activity recommendations for fracture prevention in kidney transplant recipients.

Abstract
Magnesium-based coatings have attracted great attention in surface modification of titanium implants due to their superior angiogenic and osteogenic properties. However, their biological effects as a carbonate-based constituent remain unrevealed. In this study, magnesium carbonate coatings were prepared on titanium surfaces under hydrothermal conditions and subsequently treated with hydrogen peroxide. Also, their antibacterial activity and in vitro cell biocompatibility were evaluated. The obtained coatings consisted of nanoparticles without cracks and exhibited excellent adhesion to the substrate. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated pure magnesium carbonate coatings formed on the Ti surface after hydrothermal treatment. After hydrogen peroxide treatment, the phase composition of the coatings had no obvious change. Compared to the untreated coatings, the hydrogen peroxide-treated coatings showed increased surface roughness and hydrophilicity. Co-culture with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) demonstrated that the obtained coatings had good antibacterial activity. In vitro cell culture results showed that the hydrogen peroxide-treated coatings enhanced the viability, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). These findings suggest that this MgCO3-based coating exhibits excellent antibacterial performance and osteogenic potential. Based on the above, this study provides a simple method for preparing titanium implants with dual antibacterial and osteogenic capabilities, holding great promise in clinical applications.

Abstract
Patients with kidney transplants have a significant co-morbidity index, due to a high number of pre-existing conditions and use of immunosuppression medications. These patients are at higher risk of developing conditions such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, post-transplant diabetes, cardiovascular events, and anemia. Moreover, they are particularly susceptible to infections such as urinary tract infections or pyelonephritis, cancers, and gastrointestinal complications such as diarrhea, which in turn may be attributed to medication adverse effects or infectious causes. Along with these concerns, meticulous management of electrolytes and allograft function is essential. Prior to prescribing any new medications, it is imperative to exercise caution in identifying potential interactions with immunosuppression drugs. This review aims to equip primary care practitioners to address these complex issues and appropriate methods of delivering care to this rapidly growing highly susceptible group.

Abstract
Kidney transplantation is the preferred gold standard modality of treatment for kidney failure. Bone disease after kidney transplantation is highly prevalent in patients living with a kidney transplant and is associated with high rates of hip fractures. Fractures are associated with increased healthcare costs, morbidity and mortality. Post-transplant bone disease (PTBD) includes renal osteodystrophy, osteoporosis, osteonecrosis and bone fractures. PTBD is complex as it encompasses pre-existing chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disease and compounding factors after transplantation, including the use of immunosuppression and the development of de novo bone disease. After transplantation, the persistence of secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism, renal osteodystrophy, relative vitamin D deficiency and high levels of fibroblast growth factor-23 contribute to post-transplant bone disease. Risk assessment includes identifying both general risk factors and kidney-specific risk factors. Diagnosis is complex as the gold standard bone biopsy with double-tetracycline labelling to diagnose the PTBD subtype is not always readily available. Therefore, alternative diagnostic tools may be used to aid its diagnosis. Both non-pharmacological and pharmacological therapy can be employed to treat PTBD. In this review, we will discuss pathophysiology, risk assessment, diagnosis and management strategies to manage PTBD after kidney transplantation.

Trabecular Bone Score Improves Early After Successful Kidney Transplantation Irrespective of Antiresorptive Therapy and Changes in Bone Mineral Density. Transplant Direct 2024; 10:e1566.

Abstract
Background Trabecular bone score (TBS) is a new tool to assess trabecular bone microarchitecture based on standard dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of lumbar spine images. TBS may be important to assess bone quality and fracture susceptibility in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). This study aimed to investigate the effect of different bone therapies on TBS in KTRs. Methods We reanalyzed DXA scans to assess TBS in 121 de novo KTRs at baseline, 10 wk, and 1 y. This cohort, between 2007 and 2009, participated in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the effect of ibandronate versus placebo in addition to vitamin D and calcium. Results Although bone mineral density (BMD) Z scores showed a subtle decrease in the first weeks, TBS Z scores increased from baseline to 10 wk for both treatment groups, followed by a slight decline at 12 mo. When comparing treatment groups and adjusting for baseline TBS, there were no differences found in TBS at 12 mo (P = 0.419). Correlation between TBS and BMD at baseline was weak (Spearman's ρ = 0.234, P = 0.010), and change in TBS was not correlated with changes in lumbar spine BMD in either of the groups (ρ = 0.003, P = 0.973). Conclusions Treatment with ibandronate or vitamin D and calcium did not affect bone quality as measured by TBS in de novo KTRs, but TBS increased early, irrespective of intervention. Changes in TBS and BMD during the study period were not correlated, indicating that these measurements reflect different aspects of bone integrity. TBS may complement BMD assessment in identifying KTRs with a high fracture risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-transplant bone disease (PTBD) is a common complication in kidney transplant recipients. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the efficiency and safety of denosumab for the treatment of PTBD in kidney transplant recipients. METHODS Comprehensive search of PubMed Central, SCOPUS, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane trial registry, Google Scholar, and Clinicaltrials.gov databases was done for studies, published until April 2023. Primary outcomes included changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and T-scores. Secondary outcomes included incidence of fractures, alterations in bone turnover markers, and the incidence of adverse events. RESULTS Eleven studies with a total of 511 participants that underwent kidney transplant were included. Denosumab treatment resulted in a significant improvement in lumbar spine BMD (SMD: -0.31, 95% CI: -0.56 to -0.06) and T-score (SMD: -1.07, 95% CI: -1.51 to -0.64), while no differences were detected in hip/femoral neck BMD and the T-score. There was no marked change in the fracture incidence (OR: 0.42, 95% CI: 0.06 to 3.07). However, patients who received denosumab treatment had an increased incidence rate of hypocalcemia (OR: 9.98, 95% CI: 1.72 to 57.88). CONCLUSIONS Denosumab treatment may improve lumbar spine BMD and T-scores in patients with PTBD. However, it does not significantly affect fracture incidence and may increase the risk of hypocalcemia. These findings underline the necessity for well-powered, randomized controlled trials to further clarify the role of denosumab in managing PTBD.

Abstract
Most patients with end-stage kidney disease undergoing kidney transplantation are affected by the chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder. This entity encompasses laboratory abnormalities, calcification of soft tissues, and the bone abnormalities of renal osteodystrophy that together result in an increased risk of fracture, cardiovascular events, and mortality. Although many biochemical disturbances associated with end-stage kidney disease improve in the first year after transplantation, hyperparathyroidism commonly persists, and residual changes of renal osteodystrophy are slow to resolve. When superimposed on common, traditional risk factors, post-transplant glucocorticoid treatment, the possibility of tubular disturbances and post-transplant chronic kidney disease, rates of incident fracture remain high. This review examines hormonal and biochemical changes before and after kidney transplantation, fracture risk assessment tools and imaging modalities, a staged approach to management and concerns associated with antiresorptive and anabolic therapies. A multidisciplinary approach is proposed as the best means to improve patient-level outcomes.

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

The Impact of Cholecaciferol Supplementation on Bone Mineral Density in Long-Term Kidney Transplant Recipients. Biomolecules 2023; 13:biom13040629. [PMID: 37189376 DOI: 10.3390/biom13040629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2023] [Revised: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Although reduced bone mineral density (BMD) is associated with a higher risk of fractures, morbidity, and mortality in kidney transplant patients (KTRs), there is no consensus on optimal treatment for the alterations of BMD in this population. This study aims at assessing the effect of cholecalciferol supplementation on BMD over a follow-up period of 2 years in a cohort of long-term KTRs. Patients with age ≥ 18 years were included and divided into two subgroups based on treatment with bisphosphonate and/or calcimimetics and/or active vitamin D sterols (KTRs-treated) or never treated with the above medications (KTRs-free). BMD was evaluated at lumbar vertebral bodies (LV) and right femoral neck (FN) with standard DEXA at the beginning and end of the study. According to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, results were expressed as T-score and Z-score. Osteoporosis and osteopenia were defined as T score ≤ −2.5 SD and T score < −1 and >−2.5 SD, respectively. Cholecalciferol was supplemented at a dose of 25,000 IU/week over 12 weeks followed by 1500 IU/day. KTRs-free (n. 69) and KTRs-treated (n. 49) consecutive outpatients entered the study. KTRs-free were younger (p < 0.05), with a lower prevalence of diabetes (p < 0.05) and of osteopenia at FN (46.3 % vs. 61.2 %) compared to KTRs-treated. At the entry none of the study subjects had a sufficient level of cholecalciferol; Z-score and T-score at LV and FN were not different between groups. At the end of the study period, serum cholecalciferol concentration was significantly increased in both groups (p < 0.001); the KTRs-free group presented an improvement in both T-score and Z-score at LV (p < 0.05) as well as a lower prevalence of osteoporotic cases (21.7% vs. 15.9%); in contrast, no changes were recorded in KTR-treated individuals. In conclusion, supplementation with cholecalciferol ameliorated Z-score and T-score at LV in long-term KTRs who had been never treated with active or inactive vitamin D sterols, bisphosphonates, and calcimimetics. Future endeavours are needed to confirm these preliminary findings.

Abstract
Rates of late allograft loss have improved slowly in the last decades. Well described traditional risk factors that influence allograft survival include cardiovascular events, rejection, infections and post-transplant neoplasia. Here, we critically evaluate the influence of several non-immunological, non-traditional risk factors and describe their impact on allograft survival and cardiovascular health of kidney transplant recipients. We assessed the following risk factors: arterial stiffness, persistent arteriovenous access, mineral bone disease, immunosuppressive drugs residual levels variability, hypomagnesemia, glomerular pathological alterations not included in Banff criteria, persistent inflammation and metabolic acidosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND hypovitaminosis D is frequent in kidney transplant recipient (KTR) patients and is associated with deleterious effects both at the bone and extraosseous levels. Treatment with cholecalciferol is effective for the normalization of 25(OH)D, demonstrating a beneficial effect on the calcium-tropic axis in other populations; however, its effect on the PTH/vitamin D/calcium and FGF23/klotho/phosphorus axis in RTR has not been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of normalization of serum 25(OH)D concentrations on the PTH/vitamin D/calcium-FGF23/klotho/phosphorus axis in KTR treated with cholecalciferol, as well as the association between the components of this axis. METHODS a prospective study in 23 KTR with hypovitaminosis D, with evolution from 1 to 12 months post-transplantation, an estimated glomerular filtration rate > 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and a history of primary nephropathy treated with cholecalciferol, in whom the PTH/vitamin D/calcium and FGF23/klotho/phosphorus axis was evaluated during the state of hypovitaminosis D and at normalization of 25(OH)D. RESULTS at the normalization of 25(OH)D, a reduction in PTH [103 (58.5-123.9) vs 45.6 (30.1-65.1) pg/mL; p = 0.002] and an increase in serum phosphorus [3.1 (2.3-3.5) vs 3.3 (3-3.6) mg/dL; p = 0.01] were evident, with no differences in calcium, klotho and FGF23 concentrations. The time to achieve normalization of 25(OH)D was 12 weeks (RIC, 4-12), with a dose of 5000 IU/day (RIC, 4000-6000). A positive association between klotho and PTH was corroborated (r = 0.54; p = 0.008; linear regression, b = 0.421; B = 0.004; 95 % CI, 0.003-0.007; p = 0.045). CONCLUSIONS treatment with cholecalciferol is effective for the normalization of 25(OH)D, with a beneficial effect on calcium-phosphotropic metabolism characterized by a reduction in PTH concentration, without significant changes in calcemia or calciuria, as well as an increase in phosphatemia, without modifications in FGF23 or klotho concentrations.

Abstract
Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) comprises alterations in calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone (PTH), Vitamin D, and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) metabolism, abnormalities in bone turnover, mineralization, volume, linear growth or strength, and vascular calcification leading to an increase in bone fractures and vascular disease, which ultimately result in high morbidity and mortality. The bone component of CKD-MBD, referred to as renal osteodystrophy, starts early during the course of CKD as a result of the effects of progressive reduction in kidney function which modify the tight interaction between mineral, hormonal, and other biochemical mediators of cell function that ultimately lead to bone disease. In addition, other factors, such as osteoporosis not apparently dependent on the typical pathophysiologic abnormalities resulting from altered kidney function, may accompany the different varieties of renal osteodystrophy leading to an increment in the risk of bone fracture. After kidney transplantation, these bone alterations and others directly associated or not with changes in kidney function may persist, progress or transform into a different entity due to new pathogenetic mechanisms. With time, these alterations may improve or worsen depending to a large extent on the restoration of kidney function and correction of the metabolic abnormalities developed during the course of CKD. In this paper, we review the bone lesions that occur during both CKD progression and after kidney transplant and analyze the factors involved in their pathogenesis as a means to raise awareness of their complexity and interrelationship.

Abstract
Background The risk of fragility fractures is high in kidney transplant recipients, and steroids are reportedly a major cause. Other drugs known to induce fragility fractures have been studied in the general population but not in kidney transplant recipients. Here, we investigated the association between exposure over time to drugs that can injure bone (namely vitamin K antagonists, insulin, loop diuretics, proton pump inhibitors, opioids, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antiepileptics and benzodiazepines) and incident fractures and changes over time in T-scores in this population. Methods A total of 613 consecutive kidney transplant recipients were included between 2006 and 2019. Drug exposures and incident fractures during the study period were comprehensively documented, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was performed regularly. The data were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards models with time-dependent covariates and linear mixed models. Results Incident fractures occurred in 63 patients, giving a fracture incidence of 16.9 per 1000 person-years. Exposures to loop diuretics [hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) 2.11 (1.17-3.79)] and opioids [5.94 (2.14-16.52)] were associated with incident fractures. Exposure to loop diuretics was associated with a decrease over time in the T-score for the lumbar spine (P = .022) and for the wrist (P = .028). Conclusions This study suggests that the exposure to loop diuretics and opioids increases the risk of fracture in kidney transplant recipients.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease mineral and bone disorder may persist after successful kidney transplantation. Persistent hyperparathyroidism has been identified in up to 80% of patients throughout the first year after kidney transplantation. International guidelines lack strict recommendations about the management of persistent hyperparathyroidism. However, it is associated with adverse graft and patient outcomes, including higher fracture risk and an increased risk of all-cause mortality and allograft loss. Secondary hyperparathyroidism may be treated medically (vitamin D, phosphate binders and calcimimetics) or surgically (parathyroidectomy). Guideline recommendations suggest medical therapy first but do not clarify optimal parathyroid hormone targets or indications and timing of parathyroidectomy. There are no clear guidelines or long-term studies about the impact of hyperparathyroidism therapy. Parathyroidectomy is more effective than medical treatment, although it is associated with increased short-term risks. Ideally parathyroidectomy should be performed before kidney transplantation to prevent persistent hyperparathyroidism and improve graft outcomes. We now propose a roadmap for the management of secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients eligible for kidney transplantation that includes the indications and timing (pre- or post-kidney transplantation) of parathyroidectomy, the evaluation of parathyroid gland size and the integration of parathyroid gland size in the decision-making process by a multidisciplinary team of nephrologists, radiologists and surgeons.
