Purpose The purpose of this paper was to review the literature concerning the treatment of chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) in the elderly peritoneal dialysis (PD) patient. Results Chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder is a major problem in the elderly PD patient, with its associated increased fracture risk, vascular calcification, and accelerated mortality fracture risk. Peritoneal dialysis, however, bears a lower risk than hemodialysis (HD). The approach to CKD-MBD prophylaxis and treatment in the elderly PD patient is similar to other CKD patients, with some important differences. Avoidance of hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and hyperparathyroidism is important, as in other CKD groups, and is generally easier to attain. Calcium-free phosphate binders are recommended for normocalcemic and hypercalcemic patients. Normalization of vitamin D levels to > 75 nmol/L (> 30 pg/L) and low-dose active vitamin D therapy is recommended for all patients. Hyperparathryoidism is to be avoided by using active vitamin D and cinacalcet. Particular attention should be paid to treating protein malnutrition. Fracture prophylaxis (exercise, use of walkers, dwelling modifications) are important. Hypomagnesemia is common in PD and can be treated with magnesium supplements. Vitamin K deficiency is also common and has been identified as a cause of vascular calcification. Accordingly, warfarin treatment for this age group is problematic. Conclusion While treatment principles are similar to other dialysis patient groups, physicians should be aware of the special problems of the elderly group.

Active Vitamin D sterols such as calcitriol and alfacalcidol are quite effective in the treatment of mineral bone disease secondary to chronic kidney disease. However, some children on peritoneal dialysis (PD) are resistant to oral formulations of active Vitamin D, and use of an intravenous formulation in such patients is inconvenient. In these children, intraperitoneal (IP) calcitriol has been shown to be effective in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism. However, its use has declined. We report 2 children, aged 1 and 9.5 years, on chronic cycler PD with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism refractory to oral active Vitamin D who were successfully treated with IP calcitriol for a period of 12 and 4 months, respectively. We also discuss the published literature on the efficacy of IP calcitriol for treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism and specific considerations for its use in PD patients.

Abstract Background Uraemic cardiac remodelling is associated with vitamin D and Klotho deficiency, elevated fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and activation of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS). The cardioprotective properties of active vitamin D analogues in this setting are unclear. Methods In rats with 5/6 nephrectomy (5/6Nx) treated with calcitriol, the cardiac phenotype and local RAS activation were investigated compared with controls. A nested case–control study was performed within the Cardiovascular Comorbidity in Children with Chronic Kidney Disease (4C) study, including children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stages 3–5 [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 25 mL/min/1.73 m2] treated with and without active vitamin D. Echocardiograms, plasma FGF23 and soluble Klotho (sKlotho) were assessed at baseline and after 9 months. Results In rats with 5/6Nx, left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, LV fibrosis and upregulated cardiac RAS were dose-dependently attenuated by calcitriol. Calcitriol further stimulated FGF23 synthesis in bone but not in the heart, and normalized suppressed renal Klotho expression. In the 4C study cohort, treatment over a mean period of 9 months with active vitamin D was associated with increased FGF23 and phosphate and decreased sKlotho and eGFR compared with vitamin D naïve controls, whereas LV mass index did not differ between groups. Conclusions Active vitamin D ameliorates cardiac remodelling and normalizes renal Klotho expression in 5/6Nx rats but does not improve the cardiac phenotype in children with CKD Stages 3–5. This discrepancy may be due to further enhancement of circulating FGF23 and faster progression of CKD associated with reduced sKlotho and higher serum phosphate in vitamin D-treated patients.

Abstract Background and Aims The mineral bone disorder is an essential problem in chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is an independent modifiable risk factor for renal damage progression and CKD related mortality. Therefore, it is important to treat chronic kidney disease mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) according to international guidelines. Data on the management of mineral bone disorders in predialysis patients is scarce. We aimed to investigate the proportion of CKD-MBD patients reaching targets suggested by the updated 2017 KDIGO guidelines. Method We performed a multicenter cross-sectional study. We recruited consecutive adult (>18 years of age) CKD 3-5 patients who were on regular nephrology outpatient clinic follow up. Patients who have GFR loss over 30% in the last six months, patients with malignancy, and decreased life expectancy due to severe comorbid disease and patients on renal replacement therapy were excluded. Data were collected in two-time points: one during the recruitment (second data point) and one, three to six months prior to the current visit (first data point). Persistent laboratory abnormalities were defined by out of normal range values in both time points. Therapeutic inertia was calculated for hyperphosphatemia. It was defined as a lack of using phosphate binders despite hyperphosphatemia. Results We examined a total of 213 patients for 3 different nephrology outpatient clinics. Of these patients, 49.5 % were male, with a mean age of 64,9 ± 12,0 years. 51.7 % of the patients were diabetic, 78 % were hypertensive, and 20.1 % had a history of coronary artery disease. Laboratory values related to MBD are shown in Table 1. KDIGO guideline targets were not reached in 14.8%, 18.4%, 59.0%, 71.0% patients regarding Ca, P, PTH, and vitamin D in the first visit. The targets were not reached in 15.0%, 19,2%, 61,2%, 81% patients regarding Ca, P, PTH, and vitamin D in the second visit. Persistence of out of target values were observed in 5.8%, 9.9%, 49.2% and 65.4% of the patients for Ca,P, PTH and Vitamin D respectively. The prevalence of therapeutic inertia for hyperphosphatemia was 34,4 % in the second visit Conclusion Regarding KDIGO guidelines, MBD is not optimally managed in predialysis CKD patients. Clinicians should have an active attitude regarding the correction of MBD even at the earlier stages of CKD.

Bone disease is one of the most challenging complications in patients with chronic kidney disease. Today, it is considered to be part of a complex systemic disorder manifested by disturbances of mineral metabolism and vascular calcifications called chronic kidney disease – mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD). The term renal osteodystrophy is reserved to define the specific bone lesion in CKD-MBD, whose spectrum ranges from high turnover to low turnover disease. Phosphate retention, decreased serum calcium, and 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D synthesis are involved in the pathogenesis of high bone turnover. However, the various therapeutic approaches (calcium supplements, phosphate binders, and vitamin D metabolites, among others), the renal replacement modality (hemodialysis or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis), and the types of patients to whom dialysis is offered (more patients who are diabetic or older, or both) may influence the evolution of the bone disorder. As a result, recent studies have reported a greater prevalence of adynamic forms of renal osteodystrophy, especially in diabetic and peritoneal dialysis patients. The present article reviews, for patients treated with peritoneal dialysis, the pathophysiologic mechanisms involved in the evolution and perpetuation of this bone disease and the therapeutic modalities for treating and preventing adynamic bone.

ObjectivesInsight in the prescribing quality for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in secondary care is limited. The aim of this study is to assess the prescribing quality in secondary care patients with CKD stages 3–5 and possible differences in quality between CKD stages.DesignThis was a retrospective cohort study.SettingData were collected at two university (n=569 and n=845) and one non-university nephrology outpatient clinic (n=1718) in the Netherlands.ParticipantsBetween March 2015 and August 2016, data were collected from patients with stages 3a–5 CKD seen at the clinics. Blood pressure measurements, laboratory measurements and prescription data were extracted from medical records. For each prescribing quality indicator, patients with incomplete data required for calculation were excluded.Outcome measuresPotentially appropriate prescribing of antihypertensives, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors, statins, phosphate binders and potentially inappropriate prescribing according to prevailing guidelines was assessed using prescribing quality indicators. Χ2or Fisher’s exact tests were used to test for differences in prescribing quality.ResultsRAAS inhibitors alone or in combination with diuretics (57% or 52%, respectively) and statins (42%) were prescribed less often than phosphate binders (72%) or antihypertensives (94%) when indicated. Active vitamin D was relatively often prescribed when potentially not indicated (19%). Patients with high CKD stages were less likely to receive RAAS inhibitors but more likely to receive statins when indicated than stage 3 CKD patients. They also received more active vitamin D and erythropoietin-stimulating agents when potentially not indicated.ConclusionsPriority areas for improvement of prescribing in CKD outpatients include potential underprescribing of RAAS inhibitors and statins, and potential overprescribing of active vitamin D. CKD stage should be taken into account when assessing prescribing quality.

Background: In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), impaired renal function leads to decreased vitamin D levels, which causes an increase in parathyroid hormone (PTH) production and contributes to the development of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). This may result in adverse clinical effects such as bone disorders, vascular calcification, cardiovascular disease, and increased mortality. Current treatment practices and associated outcomes with active vitamin D treatment in patients with CKD were reviewed with the objective to assess parameters (such as PTH and serum calcium levels) that may be used to define the failure of vitamin D treatment. Summary: Reports based on observational data have noted improved outcomes with active vitamin D treatment (calcitriol, paricalcitol, alfacalcidol, or doxercalciferol) in patients with CKD. Criteria for the identification of active vitamin D treatment failure are unclear from current guidelines, although up to 50% of patients may experience treatment failure eventually because of development of hypercalcemia or resistant SHPT, characterized by an elevated intact PTH (iPTH) level despite treatment. We propose a definition of vitamin D treatment failure as iPTH >600 pg/ml after 6 months of intravenous active vitamin D treatment and corrected total calcium serum levels >10.2 mg/dl, and review factors that may predict the response to vitamin D treatment. Key Message: Active vitamin D treatment failure is an important challenge in clinical practice. The aim of the proposed definition is to suggest a possible framework for hypothesis generation and to encourage further research into this common problem.

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGDer Begriff CKD-MBD (Chronic Kidney Disease – Mineral Bone Disorder) ist seit einigen Jahren für Störungen des Kalzium-Phosphat-Stoffwechsels und der damit verbundenen Risiken für das Mineral-Knochen- und Herz-Kreislauf-System bei chronischen Nierenerkrankungen bekannt. Die Bezeichnung entstand nach einem Paradigmenwechsel in der Pathophysiologie des sekundären Hyperparathyreoidismus und da neue Akteure wie FGF23 und Klotho gefunden wurden, die eine wichtige Rolle bei der Entstehung der Störungen spielen. Das wachsende Verständnis der Zusammenhänge zwischen den neuen Akteuren und Kalzium, Phosphat, Vitamin D und Vitamin K2 und der Verkalkung von Gefäßen und Weichteilen beeinflusste unweigerlich unsere Therapien. Dieser erste Teil des Beitrags verschafft einen Überblick über die neuesten Erkenntnisse zum Phosphat-Sensing, die Rolle von FGF23 und Klotho und die Besonderheiten des Vitamin-D- und Vitamin-K-Stoffwechsels bei Gesundheit und chronischer Nierenerkrankung.
