Abstract

Summary

Early renal dysfunction is associated with a 38% increased fracture risk in individuals aged 65 years and older. In men but not women, early renal dysfunction is associated with decreased femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) which can be partially explained by increased parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentrations.

Introduction

It is uncertain whether early renal dysfunction is associated with osteoporosis and increased fracture risk. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of decreased renal function with BMD and fracture risk and the role of PTH therein.

Methods

We analyzed data of participants aged 65 years and older from the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam. A 6-year fracture follow-up was obtained in 1477 participants. BMD was measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (n = 535) and vertebral fractures by lateral spinal radiograph (n = 527) in a subsample at baseline. Glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was estimated according to the modification of diet in renal disease equation and assessed by the five stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Results

In men and women, eGFR < 57 ml/min/1.73 m² (lowest quartile) compared to eGFR > 74 ml/min/1.73 m² (highest quartile) was associated with a 38% increase in fracture risk after adjustment for relevant confounders [hazard ratio (95%CI): 1.38 (1.17 to 1.61)]. Also, CKD stages 3a and 3b were associated to a 28 and 46% increase in fracture risk, respectively, as compared to CKD stages 1 and 2 together (eGFR > 60 ml/min/1.73 m²) after adjustment for confounders. Renal function was not associated with prevalent vertebral fractures. In men, but not women, lowest quartile of eGFR was related to lower femoral neck BMD as compared to the highest quartile eGFR [unstandardized B (95%CI) − 0.052 g/cm² (− 0.098 to − 0.006)], after adjustment for relevant confounders. Further adjustment for PTH attenuated this relationship by 27%.

Conclusions

In men and women, early decreased renal function (eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m²) was related to increased incident any fracture risk but not with increased prevalence of vertebral fractures. In men, but not women, early renal dysfunction was related to lower femoral neck BMD which could statistically be partially explained by increased PTH concentrations.
