Abstract

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially those on dialysis treatment, are at high risk of bone fracture. In CKD-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD), secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with advanced CKD induces bone abnormalities, and skeletal resistance to parathyroid hormone (PTH) starts in the early stages of kidney disease. Uremic toxins such as indoxyl sulfate and p-cresyl sulfate reduce the expression of PTH receptor as well as PTH-induced cyclic adenosine 3',5' monophosphate production in osteoblasts. CKD also impairs bone strength, especially quality. In a rat model, kidney damage reduces the bone-storage modulus and changes the cortical bone chemical composition with or without hyperparathyroidism. The oral charcoal adsorbent AST-120 improves CKD-induced bone abnormalities as blood levels of indoxyl sulfate decrease. Uremic osteoporosis, a new concept of CKD-related bone fragility, is a main cause of CKD-induced bone abnormalities, particularly impaired bone quality. There is limited information about the effect and safety of anti-osteoporotic drugs for patients with CKD, especially those on dialysis, but the use of AST-120 and renin-angiotensin system inhibitors may modulate bone quality and decrease the incidence of fracture. Thus, the management of CKD-MBD plus use of other therapeutic interventions for uremic osteoporosis is necessary to prevent bone fragility in patients with CKD.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 June 2019.
All research outputs
#16,291,311
of 23,999,200 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Nephrology
#623
of 1,003 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#202,911
of 319,782 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Nephrology
#12
of 18 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,999,200 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,003 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.9. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 319,782 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 18 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
