AbstractBackgroundWe aimed to examine the association of three mineral metabolism markers, including serum calcium, inorganic phosphorus, and intact parathyroid hormone with the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) at all stages.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study involved 3563 participants, including 3274 CKD patients and 289 healthy controls. CKD is diagnosed according to clinical guidelines from the 2012 KDIGO. Effect sizes are expressed odds ratio (OR) and 95 confidence interval (CI).ResultsAfter propensity score matching, per 0.5 mg/dL increment of inorganic phosphorus was significantly associated with 1.33-, 1.61-, and 2.85-fold increased risk of CKD at stages 1–2, 4, and 5, respectively. Regarding per 8 pg/mL increment of intact parathyroid hormone, significance was only noted for stage 5. In subsidiary analyses, the risk prediction of mineral metabolism markers under study was more evident in males and hypertensive subjects. A nomogram prediction model was constructed based on age, sex, and three mineral metabolism markers for CKD, with decent accuracy.ConclusionsOur findings indicate that serum calcium was associated with all-stage CKD risk, whereas the association for inorganic phosphorus and intact parathyroid hormone was significant at advanced stages.

Abstract Background: Disorders of mineral metabolism occur in most patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of this work was to correlate serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels with urinary magnesium excretion in patients with non-dialysis CKD.Methods: Cross-sectional study with patients with CKD undergoing non-dialysis treatment in stages 3A, 3B and 4. Concentrations of creatinine, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone (PTH), 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were determined in blood samples. The assessment of urinary magnesium levels was performed by means of total daily excretion and by the excretion fraction (FEMg). Results: The study evaluated 163 patients with a mean age of 60.7 ± 11.7 years and 51.0% were male. In the highest quartile of PTH (> 89.5pg / ml), the mean levels of FEMg and ALP were higher (p <0.05), as well as the levels of serum calcium and eGFR were lower (p <0.05). In the unadjusted regression analysis, the following variables were related to serum PTH levels: FEMg (odds ratio (OR) = 1.12; 95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.02–1.23), Calcium (OR = 0.45; 95% CI: 0.22-0.90), ALP (OR = 1.02; 95% CI: 1.00-1.03) and eTFG (OR = 0.92; 95% CI: 1.00-1.03). After an adjusted analysis, only one FEMg and ALP will remain correlated with PTH. Conclusion: In patients with non-dialysis CKD, with higher levels of PTH, higher mean columns of ALP and FEMg, and lower levels of serum calcium and eGFR. FEMg and ALP were some variables that remained associated with PTH.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to complex metabolic changes and an increased risk of fracture. Currently, calcitriol is the standard of care as it effectively suppresses parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in CKD patients. While calcitriol and its analogs improve BMD and reduce fractures in the general population, the extension of these benefits to patients with advanced kidney disease is unclear. Here, the impact of calcitriol on the skeleton was examined in the setting of reduction in PTH. Methods: Male Cy/+ rats, a PKD-like CKD model, were treated with either vehicle or calcitriol for 5 weeks. Their normal littermates served as controls. Animals were assessed for changes in mineral metabolism and skeletal parameters (microCT, histology, whole bone mechanics and bone quality). Results: PTH levels were significantly higher (12-fold) in animals with CKD compared to normal controls. CKD animals also exhibited negative changes in bone structural and mechanical properties. Calcitriol treatment resulted in a 60% suppression of PTH levels in animals with CKD. Despite these changes, it had no impact on bone volume (cortical or cancellous), bone turnover, osteoclast number or whole bone mechanical properties. Conclusions: These data indicate that while calcitriol effectively lowered PTH in rats with CKD, it did little to prevent the negative effects of secondary hyperparathyroidism on the skeleton.

Chronic kidney disease stage 5 (CKD5) marks the fifth stage of renal failure, frequently causing dysregulation of bone and mineral metabolism. Challenges exist in evaluating and managing chronic kidney disease–mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) with the standard panel of biomarkers. Our objective was to profile osteopontin (OPN) in patients with CKD5 on maintenance hemodialysis (CKD5-HD) and elucidate its relationship to phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca2+), alkaline phosphatase (AP), and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) to improve understanding of the present model of CKD-MBD. Elevation of plasma OPN was seen in the CKD5-HD cohort (n = 92; median: 240.25 ng/mL, interquartile range [IQR]: 169.85 ng/mL) compared to a normal group (n = 49; median: 63.30 ng/mL, IQR: 19.20 ng/mL; p < .0001). Spearman correlation tests revealed significant positive correlations of OPN with iPTH ( p < .0001; r = 0.561, 95% confidence interval = 0.397-0.690) and OPN with AP ( p < .0001; r = 0.444, 95% confidence interval = 0.245-0.590) in CKD5-HD patients. Ultimately, OPN may play an integral role in the MBD axis, suggesting that it may be important to actively monitor OPN when managing CKD5-HD.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is frequently observed in cats and it is characterized as a multisystemic illness, caused by several underlying metabolic changes, and secondary renal hyperparathyroidism (SRHPT) is relatively common; usually it is associated with the progression of renal disease and poor prognosis. This study aimed at determining the frequency of SRHPT, and discussing possible mechanisms that could contribute to the development of SRHPT in cats at different stages of CKD through the evaluation of calcium and phosphorus metabolism, as well as acid-base status. Forty owned cats with CKD were included and divided into three groups, according to the stages of the disease, classified according to the International Renal Interest Society (IRIS) as Stage II (n=12), Stage III (n=22) and Stage IV (n=6). Control group was composed of 21 clinically healthy cats. Increased serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) concentrations were observed in most CKD cats in all stages, and mainly in Stage IV, which hyperphosphatemia and ionized hypocalcemia were detected and associated to the cause for the development of SRHPT. In Stages II and III, however, ionized hypercalcemia was noticed suggesting that the development of SRHPT might be associated with other factors, and metabolic acidosis could be involved to the increase of serum ionized calcium. Therefore, causes for the development of SRHPT seem to be multifactorial and they must be further investigated, mainly in the early stages of CKD in cats, as hyperphosphatemia and ionized hypocalcemia could not be the only factors involved.

Background: Secondary hyperparathyroidism is present in majority of patients with estimated glomerular filtrate rate less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Sustained elevated parathyroid hormone level can cause osteitis-fibrosa-cystica, fracture, hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and calciphylaxis. Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome guidelines for Chronic Kidney Disease Mineral and Bone Disorder 2017 recommends treatment with calcitriol or vitamin D analogue if parathyroid hormone level is progressively increasing and remains persistently above the upper limit despite correction of modifiable factors. Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the mean change in intact parathyroid hormone aftercalcitriol supplementation in patients with chronic kidney disease (stage 3 to 5). Methodology: This prospective observational study enrolled 92 patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3 to 5, not under maintenance hemodialysis. Patients who had intact parathyroid hormone level more than 200 pg/ml, serum phosphate level less than 4.5 mg/dl and corrected serum calcium less than 9.5 mg/dl were selected for the study. They were supplemented with oral calcitriol 0.25μg thrice weekly for three months and intact parathyroid hormone level was measured after three months. Results: Mean intact parathyroid hormone level before supplementation was 332.91 ± 96.046pg/ml and after three months of supplementation with calcitriol was 176.49 ±53.764pg/ml. This finding was statistically significant (Correlation: 0.471, p-value less than 0.05). Thus, supplementation of calcitriol reduced the mean intact parathyroid hormone level in the chronic kidney disease patients in our study. Conclusion: Calcitriol supplementation seems to be an effective measure to reduce intact parathyroid hormone level in chronic kidney disease patients when it remains persistently high despite correction of modifiable factors.

Aims: We aimed to assess the association between dietary inflammation index (DII) with parathyroid hormone (PTH) and hyperparathyroidism (HP) in adults with/without chronic kidney disease (CKD).Methods: Data were obtained from the 2003–2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The participants who were &lt;18 years old, pregnant, or missing the data of DII, PTH, and CKD were excluded. DII was calculated based on a 24-h dietary recall interview for each participant. Weighted multivariable regression analysis and subgroup analysis were conducted to estimate the independent relationship between DII with PTH and the HP in the population with CKD/non-CKD.Results: A total of 7,679 participants were included with the median DII of −0.24 (−2.20 to 1.80) and a mean PTH level of 43.42 ± 23.21 pg/ml. The average PTH was 45.53 ± 26.63 pg/ml for the participants in the highest tertile group compared with 41.42 ± 19.74 pg/ml in the lowest tertile group (P &lt; 0.0001). The rate of HP was 11.15% overall, while the rate in the highest DII tertile was 13.28 and 8.60% in the lowest DII tertile (P &lt; 0.0001). The participants with CKD tended to have higher PTH levels compared with their counterparts (61.23 ± 45.62 vs. 41.80 ± 19.16 pg/ml, P &lt; 0.0001). A positive association between DII scores and PTH was observed (β = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.25, 0.66, P ≤ 0.0001), and higher DII was associated with an increased risk of HP (OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.08, P = 0.0023). The results from subgroup analysis indicated that this association was similar in the participants with different renal function, gender, age, BMI, hypertension, and diabetes statuses and could also be appropriate for the population with CKD.Conclusions: Higher consumption of a pro-inflammatory diet appeared to cause a higher PTH level and an increased risk of HP. Anti-inflammatory dietary management may be beneficial to reduce the risk of HP both in the population with and without CKD.

Abstract BACKGROUND Increases in cardiac and stress biomarkers may be associated with loss of kidney function through shared mechanisms involving cardiac and kidney injury. We evaluated the associations of cardiac and stress biomarkers [N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT), growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15), soluble ST-2 (sST-2)] with progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS We included 3664 participants with CKD from the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort study. All biomarkers were measured at entry. The primary outcome was CKD progression, defined as progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or 50% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Cox models tested the association of each biomarker with CKD progression, adjusting for demographics, site, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, eGFR, urine proteinuria, blood pressure, body mass index, cholesterol, medication use, and mineral metabolism. RESULTS There were 1221 participants who had CKD progression over a median (interquartile range) follow-up of 5.8 (2.4–8.6) years. GDF-15, but not sST2, was significantly associated with an increased risk of CKD progression [hazard ratios (HRs) are per SD increase in log-transformed biomarker]: GDF-15 (HR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.35–1.67) and sST2 (HR, 1.07; 95% CI, 0.99–1.14). NT-proBNP and hsTnT were also associated with increased risk of CKD progression, but weaker than GDF-15: NT-proBNP (HR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.13–1.36) and hsTnT (HR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.01–1.22). CONCLUSIONS Increases in GDF-15, NT-proBNP, and hsTnT are associated with greater risk for CKD progression. These biomarkers may inform mechanisms underlying kidney injury.
