AbstractBone histomorphometric analysis is the most accurate method for the evaluation of bone turnover, but non-invasive tools are also required. We studied whether bone biomarkers can predict high bone turnover determined by bone histomorphometry after kidney transplantation. We retrospectively evaluated the results of bone biopsy specimens obtained from kidney transplant recipients due to the clinical suspicion of high bone turnover between 2000 and 2015. Bone biomarkers were acquired concurrently. Of 813 kidney transplant recipients, 154 (19%) biopsies were taken at a median of 28 (interquartile range, 18–70) months after engraftment. Of 114 patients included in the statistical analysis, 80 (70%) presented with high bone turnover. Normal or low bone turnover was detected in 34 patients (30%). For discriminating high bone turnover from non-high, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone, and ionized calcium had the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCs) of 0.704, 0.661, and 0.619, respectively. The combination of these markers performed better with an AUC of 0.775. The positive predictive value for high turnover at a predicted probability cutoff of 90% was 95% while the negative predictive value was 35%. This study concurs with previous observations that hyperparathyroidism with or without hypercalcemia does not necessarily imply high bone turnover in kidney transplant recipients. The prediction of high bone turnover can be improved by considering alkaline phosphatase levels, as presented in the logistic regression model. If bone biopsy is not readily available, this model may serve as clinically available tool in recognizing high turnover after engraftment.

Bone turnover markers [osteocalcin (OC), carboxyterminal procollagen I propeptide (PICP), bone alkaline phosphatase (bALP), deoxypyridinoline (DPD), β -crosslaps (CTX), bone acid phosphatase (bACP), parathyroid hormone (PTH)], day calcium excretion (uCaV) and lumbar and hip bone mineral content (BMC) were determined in 195 patients [78 women and 74 men with intact renal function as well as 11 women and 31 men with renal failure (RF)] 40±33 months following KT. KT recipients received triple immunosuppressive therapy (CysA, prednisolone and azathioprine). All groups showed bone remodeling dissociation namely bone resorption increase (high CTX, DPD, bACP) and bone formation retard (mild enhanced level OC, normal or low bALP) in association with high PTH, decreased uCaV and BMC levels. High bone turnover and low uCaV were much more high degree in RF. Vertebral and femur BMC decrease was mild (osteopenia) and only men with RF revealed peripheral osteoporosis. Hyperparathyroidism was associated with decreased transplant function and was main predictor of high bone turnover and bone loss after KT.

At denosumab discontinuation, an antiresorptive agent is prescribed to reduce the high bone turnover, the rapid bone loss, and the risk of spontaneous vertebral fractures. We report the case of a woman treated with aromatase inhibitors and denosumab for 5 years. Raloxifene was then prescribed to prevent the rebound effect. Raloxifene was ineffective to reduce the high bone turnover and to avoid spontaneous clinical vertebral fractures. We believe that among the antiresorptive treatments, the most powerful bisphosphonates should be favored, and their administration adapted according to the serial follow-up of bone markers.
