Osteoporosis and Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD): Back to Basics.
American Journal of Kidney Diseases 2021 October
Osteoporosis is defined as a skeletal disorder of compromised bone strength predisposing those affected to an elevated risk of fracture. However, based on bone histology, osteoporosis is only part of a spectrum of skeletal complications that includes osteomalacia and the various forms of renal osteodystrophy of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). In addition, the label "kidney-induced osteoporosis" has been proposed, even though the changes caused by CKD do not qualify as osteoporosis by the histological diagnosis. It is clear, therefore, that such terminology may not be helpful diagnostically or in making treatment decisions. A new label, "CKD-MBD/osteoporosis" could be a more appropriate term because it brings osteoporosis under the official label of CKD-MBD. Neither laboratory nor noninvasive diagnostic investigations can discriminate osteoporosis from the several forms of renal osteodystrophy. Transiliac crest bone biopsy can make the diagnosis of osteoporosis by exclusion of other kidney-associated bone diseases, but its availability is limited. Recently, a classification of metabolic bone diseases based on bone turnover, from low to high, together with mineralization and bone volume, has been proposed. Therapeutically, no antifracture treatments have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for patients with kidney-associated bone disease. Agents that suppress parathyroid hormone (vitamin D analogues and calcimimetics) are used to treat hyperparathyroid bone disease. Antiresorptive and osteoanabolic agents approved for osteoporosis are being used off-label to treat CKD stages 3b-5 in high-risk patients. It has now been suggested that intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone as early as CKD stage 2 could be an effective management strategy. If confirmed in clinical trials, it could mitigate the retention of phosphorus and subsequently the rise in fibroblast growth factor 23 and may be beneficial for coexisting osteoporosis.
