Abstract
Bone turnover markers (BTMs) are used widely, in both research and clinical practice. In the last 20 years, much experience has been gained in measurement and interpretation of these markers, which include commonly used bone formation markers bone alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, and procollagen I N-propeptide; and commonly used resorption markers serum C-telopeptides of type I collagen, urinary N-telopeptides of type I collagen and tartrate resistant acid phosphatase type 5b. BTMs are usually measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or automated immunoassay. Sources contributing to BTM variability include uncontrollable components (e.g., age, gender, ethnicity) and controllable components, particularly relating to collection conditions (e.g., fasting/feeding state, and timing relative to circadian rhythms, menstrual cycling, and exercise). Pregnancy, season, drugs, and recent fracture(s) can also affect BTMs. BTMs correlate with other methods of assessing bone turnover, such as bone biopsies and radiotracer kinetics; and can usefully contribute to diagnosis and management of several diseases such as osteoporosis, osteomalacia, Paget's disease, fibrous dysplasia, hypophosphatasia, primary hyperparathyroidism, and chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder.

Abstract
The physiological process of biomineralization is complex and deviation from it leads to a variety of diseases. Progress in the past 10 years has enhanced understanding of the genetic, molecular and cellular pathophysiology underlying these disorders; sometimes, this knowledge has both facilitated restoration of health and clarified the very nature of biomineralization as it occurs in humans. In this Review, we consider the principal regulators of mineralization and crystallization, and how dysregulation of these processes can lead to human disease. The knowledge acquired to date and gaps still to be filled are highlighted. The disorders of mineralization discussed comprise a broad spectrum of conditions that encompass bone disorders associated with alterations of mineral quantity and quality, as well as disorders of extraskeletal mineralization (hyperphosphataemic familial tumoural calcinosis). Included are disorders of alkaline phosphatase (hypophosphatasia) and phosphate homeostasis (X-linked hypophosphataemic rickets, fluorosis, rickets and osteomalacia). Furthermore, crystallopathies are covered as well as arterial and renal calcification. This Review discusses the current knowledge of biomineralization derived from basic and clinical research and points to future studies that will lead to new therapeutic approaches for biomineralization disorders.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) both influence blood phosphate levels by regulating urinary phosphate reabsorption. Clinical data suggest that adequate renal phosphate handling requires the presence of both FGF23 and PTH, but robust evidence is lacking. To investigate whether the phosphaturic effects of PTH and FGF23 are interdependent, 11 patients with hypoparathyroidism, which features high blood phosphate in spite of concomitant FGF23 elevation, and 1 patient with hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis (HFTC), characterized by deficient intact FGF23 action and resulting hyperphosphatemia, were treated with synthetic human PTH 1-34 (hPTH 1-34). Biochemical parameters, including blood phosphate, calcium, intact FGF23 (iFGF23), nephrogenic cAMP, 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D (1,25D), and tubular reabsorption of phosphate (TRP), were measured at baseline and after hPTH 1-34 treatment. In patients with hypoparathyroidism, administration of hPTH 1-34 increased nephrogenic cAMP, which resulted in serum phosphate normalization followed by a significant decrease in iFGF23. TRP initially decreased and returned to baseline. In the patient with HFTC, hPTH 1-34 administration also increased nephrogenic cAMP, but this did not produce changes in phosphate or TRP. No changes in calcium were observed in any of the studied patients, although prolonged hPTH 1-34 treatment did induce supraphysiologic 1,25D levels in the patient with HFTC. Our results indicate that PTH and FGF23 effects on phosphate regulation are interdependent and both are required to adequately regulate renal phosphate handling. Published 2021.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is the most prevalent type of heritable fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23)-related hypophosphatemic rickets. Recently, anti-FGF23 antibody, burosumab, has become clinically available. We herein report a patient with adult XLH and tertiary hyperparathyroidism. CASE PRESENTATION The serum phosphate level and tubular maximum reabsorption of phosphate per glomerular filtration rate (TmP/GFR) remained low, despite burosumab treatment. While the influence of the relationship between FGF23 and parathyroid hormone (PTH) on the phosphaturic effect is unclear, it was considered that a high level of PTH due to tertiary hyperparathyroidism remains to suppress renal phosphate reabsorption. A calcimimetic, evocalcet, increased the serum phosphate level and TmP/GFR. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Therefore, it is important to evaluate the presence of secondary-tertiary hyperparathyroidism in patients whose serum phosphate level does not increase with burosumab treatment.

High bone turnover and hyperparathyroidism after surgery for tumor-induced osteomalacia: A case series. Bone Rep 2021; 15:101142. [PMID: 34901333 PMCID: PMC8640873 DOI: 10.1016/j.bonr.2021.101142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2021] [Revised: 10/04/2021] [Accepted: 10/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is an ultrarare disorder that is caused by renal phosphate wasting due to uncontrolled tumoral production of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) from phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors. Surgical removal of the tumor is curative. There is limited information on the biochemical changes in mineral metabolism and bone remodeling activity after surgery, but it is reported that surgery is followed by a hungry bone syndrome (HBS) with hypocalcemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism. We report the biochemical response to surgery in two patients, who presented with severe TIO, as manifested by proximal myopathy, multiple stress fractures, high FGF23, low serum phosphate, low maximum renal phosphate reabsorption threshold (TmP/GFR), and low 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D (1,25(OH)2D). Prior to surgery, both patients developed secondary hyperparathyroidism and one case had progressed to tertiary hyperparathyroidism. After surgery there was normalization of FGF23, TmP/GFR, and phosphate. High 1,25(OH)2D was recorded. One patient had hypocalcaemia and worsening secondary hyperparathyroidism consistent with HBS; the other patient did not have hypocalcemia but had worsening tertiary hyperparathyroidism that only resolved with cinacalcet. There was a marked increase in bone remodeling markers, both resorption and formation, consistent with a high bone turnover state. There was a different pattern of change in bone specific alkaline phosphatase, reflecting healing of osteomalacia. Biochemical monitoring in the post-surgical management of TIO is warranted for guiding adjustments in medical intervention, both short-term and long-term. Future use of burosumab prior to surgery for TIO may ameliorate the immediate post-surgery effects.

Abstract
Excess fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), excess PTH, and an increase in extracellular calcium cause hypophosphatemia by lowering the maximum renal phosphate reabsorption threshold (TmP/GFR). We recently reported two cases of X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) with severe tertiary hyperparathyroidism who had normalization of TmP/GFR upon being rendered hypoparathyroid following total parathyroidectomy, despite marked excess in both C-terminal FGF23 (cFGF23) and intact FGF23 (iFGF23). We explored the effects of FGF23, PTH, and calcium on TmP/GFR in a cross-sectional study (n = 74) across a spectrum of clinical cases with abnormalities in TmP/GFR, PTH, and FGF23. This comprised three groups: FGF23-dependent hypophosphatemia (n = 27), hypoparathyroidism (HOPT; n = 17), and chronic kidney disease (n = 30). Measurements included TmP/GFR, cFGF23, PTH, ionized calcium, vitamin D metabolites, and bone turnover markers. The combined effect of cFGF23, PTH, and ionized calcium on TmP/GFR was modeled using hierarchical multiple regression and was probed by moderation analysis with PROCESS. Modeling analysis showed independent effects on TmP/GFR by cFGF23, PTH, and ionized calcium in conjunction with a weak but significant effect of the interaction term for PTH and FGF23; probing showed that the effect was most prominent during PTH deficiency. Teriparatide 20 μg daily was self-administered for 28 days by one case of X-linked hypophosphatemia with hypoparathyroidism (XLH-HOPT) to assess the response of TmP/GFR, cFGF23, iFGF23, nephrogenous cyclic adenosine monophosphate (NcAMP), vitamin D metabolites, and bone turnover markers. After 28 days, TmP/GFR was lowered from 1.10 mmol/L to 0.48 mmol/L; this was accompanied by increases in NcAMP, ionized calcium, and bone turnover markers. In conclusion, the effect of FGF23 excess on TmP/GFR is altered by PTH such that the effect is ameliorated by hypoparathyroidism and the effect is augmented by hyperparathyroidism. © 2020 The Authors.

Abstract
The main congenital conditions of hypophosphatemia expressed in adulthood include several forms of hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets and a congenital disorder of vitamin D metabolism characterized by osteomalacia and hypophosphatemia in adult patients. Hypophosphatemia in adults is defined as serum phosphate concentration < 0.80 mmol/L. The principal regulators of phosphate homeostasis, as is well known, are parathyroid hormone (PTH), activated vitamin D, and Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF23). Differential diagnosis of hypophosphatemia is based on the evaluation of mechanisms leading to this alteration, such as high PTH activity, inadequate phosphate absorption from the gut, or renal phosphate wasting, either due to primary tubular defects or high FGF23 levels. The most common inherited form associated to hypophosphatemia is X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH), caused by PHEX gene mutations with enhanced secretion of the FGF23. Until now, the management of hypophosphatemia in adulthood has been poorly investigated. It is widely debated whether adult patients benefit from the conventional treatments normally used for pediatric patients. The new treatment for XLH with burosumab, a recombinant human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that binds to FGF23, blocking its activity, may change the pharmacological management of adult subjects with hypophosphatemia associated to FGF23-dependent mechanisms.

Abstract
We describe a unique case of hyperphosphatemia associated with a very high bone turnover rate in a 51-year-old postmenopausal woman with undiagnosed anorexia nervosa (AN) who presented with a low-trauma hip fracture. In view of her severely malnourished state, she was not fit for surgery. She was treated according to a refeeding protocol that mandated bed rest. Contrary to expectation, she developed sustained hyperphosphatemia and borderline hypercalcemia. Bone remodelling markers, both resorption and formation, were markedly elevated. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) was low-normal at 1.7 pmol/L, C-terminal fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) was high at 293 RU/ml, but tubular maximum reabsorption of phosphate (TmPO4/GFR) was elevated at 1.93 mmol/L. Denosumab 60 mg was administered that was followed by: rapid normalisation of serum phosphate; normalisation of resorption markers, transient hypocalcaemia with secondary hyperparathyroidism, and normalisation of both TmPO4/GFR and C-terminal FGF23. We speculate that prolonged immobilization as part of AN management led to a high remodelling state followed by hyperphosphatemia and high-normal calcium with appropriate suppression of PTH and that marked hyperphosphatemia and high TmP/GFR despite high FGF23 indicates the necessity of PTH adequacy for excess FGF23 to lower TmP/GFR.

Abstract
Phosphate metabolism is an evolving area of basic and clinical research. In the past 15 years, knowledge on disturbances of phosphate homoeostasis has expanded, as has the discovery of new targeted therapies. Hypophosphataemia might be the biochemical finding in several diseases, and its clinical evaluation should initially focus on the assessment of pathophysiological mechanisms leading to low serum phosphate concentrations. Clinical consequences of hypophosphataemia can involve multiple organ systems and vary depending on several factors, the most important being the underlying disorder. This Review focuses on the approach to patients with hypophosphataemia and how underlying pathophysiological mechanisms should be understood in the evaluation of differential diagnosis. We define an algorithm for the assessment of hypophosphataemia and review the most up-to-date literature on specific therapies. Continuous research in this area will result in a better understanding and management of patients with hypophosphataemia.

Abstract
Aspects of bone remodeling have only been scarcely studied in X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). In this cross-sectional controlled study, we assessed biochemical indices of bone remodeling and sclerostin in 27 adult patients (median age 47 [range 24-79] years, 19 women, 8 men) with XLH matched with 81 healthy control subjects (1:3) with respect to age-, sex-, and menopausal status. Markers of bone resorption (carboxyterminal cross-linked telopeptide of type 1 collagen, CTX) and formation (N-terminal propeptide of type 1 procollagen, P1NP) were higher in XLH patients compared to controls (median [IQR] 810 [500-1340] vs 485 [265-715] ng/l and 90 [57-136] vs 49 [39-65] ug/l, respectively, both p < 0.001) as well as sclerostin (0.81 [0.60-1.18] vs 0.54 [0.45-0.69] ng/ml, p < 0.001). Similar differences were found when comparing currently treated (with phosphate and alfacalcidol) (n = 11) and untreated (n = 16) XLH patients with their respective controls. We found no significant associations with treatment status and indices of bone remodeling or sclerostin although sclerostin tended to be increased in untreated versus treated (p = 0.06). In contrast to previous histomorphometric studies suggesting a low remodeling activity in XLH, these biochemical indices suggest high osteoblast and osteoclast activity. Further studies are needed to ascertain if the higher sclerostin level in XLH is related to osteocyte dysfunction or represents a secondary phenomenon.
