Abstract
This study aimed to examine the association between sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and osteoporosis through a cross-sectional study and a two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR). We used the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2014 and 2015-2016 data, with exposure as serum SHBG and outcome as osteoporosis and performed multivariate logistic regression to test the correlation between SHBG and osteoporosis. To determine the causal relationship between SHBG and osteoporosis, a two-sample bidirectional MR was employed. The genome-wide association study (GWAS) dataset for SHBG (n = 189,473) was obtained from the IEU database, and the GWAS dataset for osteoporosis (n = 212,778) was obtained from the FinnGen bioBank. The principal MR technique was inverse-variance weighting (IVW). In MR analyses, the MR-Egger intercept and Cochran Q test were used to detect multiple validity and horizontal heterogeneity. 1249 older adult participants (age ≥ 60) were involved in the cross-sectional study, including 113 osteoporosis cases. We identified a significant relationship between circulating SHBG concentration and osteoporosis risk [OR 3.963, 95% CI (2.095-7.495), P < 0.05]. Subgroup analysis indicated that SHBG was closely linked to the risk of osteoporosis in the female population [OR 1.008, 95% CI (1.002-1.013), P = 0.005] but not in males (P = 0.065). In addition, The IVW approach suggested a causal connection between SHBG and increased osteoporosis risk [OR 1.479, 95% CI (1.144-1.912), P = 0.003], and the MR-Egger intercept and the Cochran Q test validated the consistency of the MR results. Finally, the reverse MR analysis declined to identify a causal relation between SHBG and osteoporosis. Our research demonstrates a significant causal connection between circulating SHBG levels and increased osteoporosis risk. These results indicate that high SHBG may be associated with the risk of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, but more research is needed.

Abstract
Most patients with end-stage kidney disease undergoing kidney transplantation are affected by the chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder. This entity encompasses laboratory abnormalities, calcification of soft tissues, and the bone abnormalities of renal osteodystrophy that together result in an increased risk of fracture, cardiovascular events, and mortality. Although many biochemical disturbances associated with end-stage kidney disease improve in the first year after transplantation, hyperparathyroidism commonly persists, and residual changes of renal osteodystrophy are slow to resolve. When superimposed on common, traditional risk factors, post-transplant glucocorticoid treatment, the possibility of tubular disturbances and post-transplant chronic kidney disease, rates of incident fracture remain high. This review examines hormonal and biochemical changes before and after kidney transplantation, fracture risk assessment tools and imaging modalities, a staged approach to management and concerns associated with antiresorptive and anabolic therapies. A multidisciplinary approach is proposed as the best means to improve patient-level outcomes.

Patients with end-stage kidney disease have markedly abnormal cortical hip parameters by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Nephrol Dial Transplant 2021; 36:543-550. [PMID: 31697355 DOI: 10.1093/ndt/gfz195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2019] [Accepted: 08/01/2019] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) have higher fracture rates and post-fracture mortality than the general population, but bone mineral density by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is less predictive of fracture in this patient group. Bone biopsy and high-resolution imaging indicate that cortical thickness (CT) is reduced and cortical porosity is increased in ESKD. The aim of this study was to assess cortical parameters using DXA in patients with ESKD. It was hypothesized that these parameters would show deterioration and be associated with fracture. METHODS Using advanced hip analysis, normal age-related ranges were determined from 752 female and 861 male femur scans and were compared with scans of 226 patients with ESKD at the time of transplantation. RESULTS Compared with controls, female patients had lower mean±SD CT (mms) at the femoral neck (FN) (2.59 ± 1.42 versus 5.23 ± 1.85), calcar (3.46 ± 1.07 versus 5.09 ± 1.30) and shaft (4.42 ± 1.21 versus 7.44 ± 2.07; P < 0.001 for each), and buckling ratios were higher (8.21 ± 4.6 versus 3.63 ± 1.42; P < 0.001), indicating greater FN instability. All findings were similar for men. Prevalent fracture was documented in 28.8% of patients; 12.4% vertebral only, 8.4% non-vertebral only and 8% vertebral plus non-vertebral. In adjusted models, each 1 SD reduction in FN CT and increase in the buckling ratio was associated with a respective 1.73 (1.22-2.46)- and 1.82 (1.49-2.86)-fold increase in the risk of prevalent vertebral fracture. CONCLUSIONS In patients with ESKD, DXA-derived cortical parameters are markedly abnormal compared with age- and sex-matched controls. These parameters should be assessed for incident fracture prediction and targeting treatment.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a state of bone fragility with reduced skeletal resistance to trauma, and consequently increased risk of fracture. A wide range of conditions, including traditional risk factors, lifestyle choices, diseases and their treatments may contribute to bone fragility. It is therefore not surprising that the multi-morbid patient with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is at a particularly high risk. CKD is associated with reduced bone quantity, as well as impaired bone quality. Bone fragility in CKD is a composite of primary osteoporosis, accumulation of traditional and uremia-related risk factors, assaults brought on by systemic disease, and detrimental effects of drugs. Some risk factors are modifiable and represent potential targets for intervention. This review provides an overview of the heterogeneity of bone fragility in CKD.
