Prevalence of Vertebral Fractures and Their Prognostic Significance in the Survival in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Stages 3‒5 Not on Dialysis

Background: The prevalence of vertebral fractures (VF) and their association with clinical risk factors and outcomes are poorly documented in chronic kidney disease (CKD) cohorts. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of VF in patients with non-dialysis dependent CKD (NDD-CKD), their value in predicting mortality and its correlation with parameters of bone mineral metabolism and vascular calcification. Materials and Methods: 612 NDD 3‒5 stage CKD patients participating in the OSERCE-2 study, a prospective, multicenter, cohort study, were prospectively evaluated and categorized into two groups according to presence or absence of VF at enrollment. VF were assessed with lateral r…

Osteoporosis, densidad mineral ósea y complejo CKD-MBD (I): consideraciones diagnósticas

Resumen: Osteoporosis (OP) y enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) influyen de manera independiente en la salud ósea y cardiovascular. Un número significativo de pacientes con ERC, especialmente desde estadios 3a a 5D, presentan una disminución significativa de la densidad mineral ósea condicionando un alto riesgo de fractura y un incremento importante de la morbimortalidad asociada. Independientemente de la OP clásica asociada a edad y/o sexo, las propiedades mecánicas del hueso se encuentran afectadas adicionalmente por factores intrínsecos a la ERC («OP urémica»). En la primera parte de esta revisión, analizaremos conceptos generales sobre densidad mineral ósea, OP y fracturas, en gran parte in…

Osteoporosis, densidad mineral ósea y complejo CKD-MBD (II): implicaciones terapéuticas

Resumen: La osteoporosis (OP) y la enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) influyen independientemente en la salud ósea. Numerosos pacientes con ERC presentan una disminución de densidad mineral ósea (DMO), un elevado riesgo de fracturas por fragilidad ósea y un incremento de su morbimortalidad. Con el envejecimiento de la población estos hechos no son dependientes solo de la «osteodistrofia renal» sino también de la OP asociada. Dado que la DMO tiene capacidad predictiva en pacientes con ERC (parte I), ahora analizaremos las implicaciones terapéuticas derivadas. Análisis post hoc de estudios aleatorizados han mostrado que fármacos como alendronato, risedronato, raloxifeno, teriparatida o denosumab …

The effect of high-volume online haemodiafiltration on nutritional status and body composition: the ProtEin Stores prEservaTion (PESET) study

Background Compared with conventional haemodialysis (HD), online haemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) achieves a more efficient removal of uraemic toxins and reduces inflammation, which could favourably affect nutritional status. We evaluate the effect of OL-HDF on body composition and nutritional status in prevalent high-flux HD (HF-HD) patients. Methods In all, 33 adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stage 5 undergoing maintenance HF-HD were assigned to post-dilution OL-HDF (n = 17) or to remain on HF-HD (n = 16, control group) for 12 months. The primary outcome was the change in lean tissue mass (LTM), intracellular water (ICW) and body cell mass (BCM) assessed by multifrequency bioimpedance …
