Abstract
Increasing evidence indicates that exercise has beneficial effects on chronic inflammation, cardiorespiratory function, muscle and bone strength and metabolic markers in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney failure or kidney transplants. However, the mechanisms that underlie these benefits have received little attention, and the available clinical evidence is mainly from small, short-duration (<12 weeks) exercise intervention studies. The available data, mainly from patients with CKD or on dialysis, suggest that exercise-mediated shifts towards a less inflammatory immune cell profile, enhanced activity of the NRF2 pathway and reduced monocyte infiltration into adipose tissue may underlie improvements in inflammatory biomarkers. Exercise-mediated increases in nitric oxide release and bioavailability, reduced angiotensin II accumulation in the heart, left ventricular remodelling and reductions in myocardial fibrosis may contribute to improvements in left ventricular hypertrophy. Exercise stimulates an anabolic response in skeletal muscle in CKD, but increases in mitochondrial mass and satellite cell activation seem to be impaired in this population. Exercise-mediated activation of the canonical wnt pathway may lead to bone formation and improvements in the levels of the bone-derived hormones klotho and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). Longer duration studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm these mechanisms in CKD, kidney failure and kidney transplant populations and provide evidence for targeted exercise interventions.

Abstract
Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) is the bone component of chronic kidney disease mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). ROD affects bone quality and strength through the numerous hormonal and metabolic disturbances that occur in patients with kidney disease. Collectively these disorders in bone quality increase fracture risk in CKD patients compared with the general population. Fractures are a serious complication of kidney disease and are associated with higher morbidity and mortality compared with the general population. Furthermore, at a population level, fractures are at historically high levels in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), whereas in contrast the general population has experienced a steady decline in fracture incidence rates. Based on these findings, it is clear that a paradigm shift is needed in our approach to diagnosing and managing ROD. In clinical practice, our ability to diagnose ROD and initiate antifracture treatments is impeded by the lack of accurate noninvasive methods that identify ROD type. The past decade has seen advances in the noninvasive measurement of bone quality and strength that have been studied in kidney disease patients. Below we review the current literature pertaining to the epidemiology, pathology, diagnosis, and management of ROD. We aim to highlight the pressing need for a greater awareness of this condition and the need for the implementation of strategies that prevent fractures in kidney disease patients. Research is needed for more accurate noninvasive assessment of ROD type, clinical studies of existing osteoporosis therapies in patients across the spectrum of kidney disease, and the development of CKD-specific treatments. © 2018 The Authors.

Abstract
The WNT signalling pathway is a key regulator of bone metabolism, particularly bone formation, which has helped to define the role of osteocytes - the most abundant bone cells - as orchestrators of bone remodelling. Several molecules involved in the control of the WNT signalling pathway have been identified as potential targets for the development of bone-building therapeutics for patients with osteoporosis. Several of these molecules have been investigated in animal models, but only inhibitors of sclerostin (which is produced by osteocytes) have been investigated in phase III clinical studies. Here, we review the rationale for these developments and the specificity and potential off-target actions of WNT-based therapeutics. We also describe the available preclinical and clinical studies and discuss the benefits and risks of using sclerostin inhibitors for the management of patients with osteoporosis.

The role of bone biopsy for the diagnosis of renal osteodystrophy: a short overview and future perspectives. J Nephrol 2016; 29:617-26. [PMID: 27473148 DOI: 10.1007/s40620-016-0339-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2016] [Accepted: 07/18/2016] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients present specific bone and mineral metabolism disturbances, which account for important morbidity and mortality. The term renal osteodystrophy, classically used for the nomination of CKD-associated bone disorder, has been limited to the histologic description of bone lesions, requiring the use of bone biopsy. Biochemical markers and imaging tools do not adequately predict the complex bone changes that are observed in renal osteodystrophy. Parathyroid hormone, which is a universally used biomarker of bone turnover in clinical practice, lacks specificity and sensitivity. Therefore, tetracycline double-labelled transiliac bone biopsy, with bone histology and histomorphometric evaluation, remains the best clinical tool to discriminate bone turnover and to evaluate the other dimensions of renal osteodystrophy. This review will focus on the value of classic bone histomorphometric analysis of trabecular bone in CKD patients and unfold new perspectives of this diagnostic tool, including cortical bone evaluation and bone tissue immunohistochemistry.
