Circulating alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an independent cardiovascular risk marker. Serum bone ALP (BALP) isoforms indicate bone turnover and comprise approximately 50% of total circulating ALP. In chronic kidney disease (CKD), mortality is highest in patients with increased ALP and BALP and low bone turnover. However, not all low bone turnover states are associated with increased mortality. Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, features of protein energy wasting syndrome, induce cardiovascular BALP activity and fibro-calcification, while bone turnover is suppressed. Circulating BALP isoform B1x is associated with low ALP and low bone turnover and has been exclusively detected in CKD. We investigated the association of serum B1x with survival, abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) score, and aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) in CKD. Serum ALP, BALP isoforms, parathyroid hormone (PTH), PWV, and AAC were measured repeatedly over 2 years in 68 prevalent dialysis patients. Mortality was assessed after 5 years. B1x was detected in 53 patients. A competing risk analysis revealed an association of B1x with improved 5-year survival; whereas, baseline PWV, but not AAC score, predicted mortality. However, PWV improved in 26 patients (53%), and B1x was associated with variation of PWV over time (p = 0.03). Patients with B1x had lower PTH and total ALP, suggesting an association with lower bone turnover. In conclusion, B1x is associated with time-varying PWV, lower circulating ALP, and improved survival in CKD, and thus may be an indicator of a reduced cardiovascular risk profile among patients with low bone turnover.

Abstract Background We sought to identify biomarkers that indicate low turnover on bone histomorphometry in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, and subsequently determined whether this panel identified differential risk for fractures in community-dwelling older adults. Methods Among CKD patients who underwent iliac crest bone biopsies and histomorphometry, we evaluated candidate biomarkers to differentiate low turnover from other bone disease. We applied this biomarker panel to 641 participants in the Health Aging and Body Composition Study (Health ABC) study with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 who were followed for fracture. Cox proportional hazards models evaluated the association of bone mineral density (BMD) with fracture risk and determined whether biomarker-defined low bone turnover modified fracture risk at any level of BMD. Results In 39 CKD patients age 64 ± 13 years, 85% female, with mean eGFR 37 ± 14 mL/min/1.73 m2 who underwent bone biopsy, lower fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23, higher ɑ-Klotho, and lower parathyroid hormone (PTH) indicated low bone turnover in accordance with bone histomorphometry parameters (individual area under the curve = 0.62, 0.73, and 0.55 respectively; sensitivity = 22%, specificity = 100%). In Health ABC, 641 participants with CKD were age 75 ± 3 years , 49% female, with mean eGFR 48 ± 10 mL/min/1.73 m2. For every SD lower hip BMD at baseline, there was an 8-fold higher fracture risk in individuals with biomarker-defined low turnover (hazard ratio 8.10 [95% CI, 3.40-19.30]) vs a 2-fold higher risk in the remaining individuals (hazard ratio 2.28 [95% CI, 1.69-3.08]) (Pinteraction = .082). Conclusions In CKD patients who underwent bone biopsy, lower FGF-23, higher ɑ-Klotho, and lower PTH together had high specificity for identifying low bone turnover. When applied to older individuals with CKD, BMD was more strongly associated with fracture risk in those with biomarker-defined low turnover.

In chronic kidney disease (CKD), progressive decline in kidney function leads to disorders of mineral metabolism, which are usually called secondary hyperparathyroidism. An increase in the serum concentration of the parathyroid hormone is associ­ated with a decrease in the level of calcium and calcitriol and/or an increase in the level of fibroblast growth factor-23 and inorganic phosphate in serum. CKD-related disorders of mineral and bone metabolism are associated with other metabolic disorders, such as acidosis, protein-energy wasting, inflammation, and accumulation of uremic toxins. This contributes to vascular calcification, which is a consequence of an imbalance between numerous inhibitors and promoters of soft tissue min­eralization. Vascular calcification is a degenerative process characterized by the accumulation of calcium and phosphate salts in the artery wall. This is observed in almost all vascular areas and can develop in the media, intima, or both vascular layers of the arteries. Calcification of the intima usually occurs due to atherosclerosis and may be responsible for coronary ischemic events. Conversely, media calcification is non-exclusive and predominantly develops along elastic fibers. As a result, media calcification increases vascular stiffness, aortic pulse wave velocity, systolic and pulse blood pressure, contributing to the de­velopment of left ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure. This review examines the current understanding of the mechanisms that lead to the development of vascular calcification in CKD. The participation of factors such as inflammation, age glycation end products, indoxyl sulfate, and others in calcification processes is discussed. Promising therapeutic goals associated with a new understanding of the mechanisms of cardiovascular calcification in CKD are identified.
