Bone disease after renal transplantation

Abstract: In light of greatly improved long-term patient and graft survival after renal transplantation, improving other clinical outcomes such as risk of fracture and cardiovascular disease is of paramount importance. After renal transplantation, a large percentage of patients lose bone. This loss of bone results from a combination of factors that include pre-existing renal osteodystrophy, immunosuppressive therapy, and the effects of chronically reduced renal function after transplantation. In addition to low bone vol… Show more

“…More recent publications of prospective trials that included patients managed with contemporary immunosuppression protocols have reported bone loss of only 0.1%-5.7% in the lumbar spine (4). After 1 year, BMD remains relatively stable with no further decline but at significantly lower levels than healthy controls (2). This reduction in BMD contributes to an increased risk of fractures.…”

“…In bone tissue, unlike calcineurin, sirolimus may inhibits osteoclasts differentiation and thus may be considered a bone-sparing immunosuppressive agent (8).…”

“…Pyridinoline, deoxypryridinoline, crosslinked N-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen and C-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen are markers used to evaluate bone resorption (Kusec and Smalcelj, 2004). BAP reflects an increase in bone turnover and is useful for monitoring bone formation (Malluche and Claude, 2010). However, BAP is thought to be an unpredictable marker because heterogeneous factors, such as the duration of dialysis, secondary hyperparathyroidism, aluminum osteomalacia and postoperative glucocorticoid therapy, influence bone metabolism (Rix and Andreassen, 1999).…”
