Abstract

Renal osteodystrophy is an important complication in patients with end-stage renal disease on maintenance dialysis. The aim of this study was to compare the biochemical markers of bone formation (serum collagen type I C-terminal propeptide) and resorption (serum deoxypyridinoline – DPD – and pyridinoline – PYR) with the bone mineral density (BMD) at lumbar spine, femoral neck, and forearm in patients with end-stage renal disease on haemodialysis (HD) versus continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Fifty-nine adult patients, 45 on CAPD (18 females, 27 males) and 14 on HD (2 females, 12 males), were studied. The mean age was 44 ± SEM 1.6 and 54.4 ± 4.8 years, respectively. No significant differences in serum calcium, phosphorus, creatinine, and parathyroid hormone were found between patients on HD and CAPD in predialysis samples. Serum urea was significantly lower (p = 0.02) in the CAPD group. Serum PYR (nmol/l) and DPD (nmol/l) were significantly higher in patients on HD as compared with those on CAPD: 105 ± 23.3 versus 43.7 ± 3.47 (p = 0.007) and 31.0 ± 2.4 versus 24.4 ± 1.4 (p = 0.027), respectively. The results were still significantly higher in the HD patients following correction for serum creatinine and body mass index. There was a close correlation between dialysate DPD and creatinine in both dialysis modalities (HD r = 0.9, CAPD r = 0.76). The clearance of DPD did not differ significantly between the CAPD membrane and the HD membrane (p = 0.22). Serum collagen type I C-terminal propeptide was not significantly different between the HD and CAPD patients. The results were unaffected following correction for age and gender. The BMD was measured in 38 (65%) of the patients (HD n = 8, CAPD n = 30) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and expressed as ‘Z’ scores. This was reduced at all sites in the patients with end-stage renal disease. The BMD was significantly lower at the ultradistal forearm (mostly trabecular bone) in HD patients as compared with CAPD patients (n = 0.02). A similar trend was observed at the lumbar spine, although the results failed to reach significance. In the whole population (n = 38), linear regression analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between BMD at the ultradistal forearm and serum PYR (r = –0.35, p = 0.04) and DPD (r = –0.33, p = 0.049). Combined measurements of BMD and biochemical markers of bone resorption may have potential in the identification of patients at high risk of bone loss who may require further evaluation of bone remodeling by bone histomorphometry.
