Summary: | ABSTRACT
Background
The longitudinal changes in hip-bone microstructures and estimated bone strength in dialysis patients, and the impact of chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) biomarkers on these changes, remain insufficiently explored.
Methods
This retrospective study examined changes in cortical and trabecular bone compartments and estimated bone-strength indices, obtained by using 3D-SHAPER software, in the hip regions of 276 dialysis patients over up to 2.5 years. We used multivariate mixed models to investigate the associations between time-dependent CKD-MBD biomarkers and bone health metrics.
Results
There was a significant decrease in areal bone mineral density (aBMD), integral volumetric BMD (vBMD), trabecular vBMD, cortical thickness and cortical surface BMD (sBMD). Similar deteriorations were found in estimated bone-strength indices [cross-sectional area (CSA), cross-sectional moment of inertia (CSMI), section modulus (SM) and buckling ratio]. Neither serum calcium nor phosphate levels were significantly associated with changes in three-dimensional parameters or estimated bone-strength indices. In contrast, serum alkaline phosphatase levels showed a significant inverse correlation with aBMD and CSA. The intact-parathyroid hormone (i-PTH) was significantly inversely correlated with aBMD, integral vBMD, trabecular vBMD, cortical thickness, cortical vBMD, CSA, CSMI and SM. When applying the KDIGO criteria as a sensitivity analysis, the higher PTH group had significant negative associations with aBMD, integral vBMD, cortical vBMD, cortical thickness and cortical sBMD. Notably, the lower PTH group showed a positive significant correlation with integral vBMD and trabecular vBMD.
Conclusions
Elevated PTH, not low PTH, was associated with deterioration of hip-bone microstructures. Better management of PTH levels may play a crucial role in the hip-bone microstructure in dialysis patients.
