Circulating Osteoprotegerin Levels Independently Predict All-cause Mortality in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: a Meta-analysis

Abstract: Background: Studies have shown inconsistent results regarding the association between circulating osteoprotegerin (OPG) levels and all-cause mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of this meta-analysis is to investigate the association between circulating OPG levels and all-cause mortality in patients with CKD.Methods: The PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases were searched for eligible studies investigating the association between circulating OPG levels and all-cause mortalit… Show more

“…In the current study ,OPG levels increase in CKD Patients with highly significant differences (P≤0.01). OPG is also implicated in metabolic bone disease and may patients control have a role in CKD prognosis (14). OPG levels are higher in patients with chronic renal disease (15).…”

“…The OPG level signals an independent risk of coronary calcification 23 and of all-cause mortality. 24 Genetically, OPG/RANKL polymorphism in hemodialysis and its association with aortic calcification have been proposed. 25 High-level serum RANKL expression stimulated by PTH is also inferred to occur in patients undergoing hemodialysis.…”

“…Despite the debate on the role of circulating OPG in atherosclerotic disease [ 31 ], as an experimental study reported that exogenous OPG treatment lead to endothelial and vascular smooth cell dysfunction by promoting the production of reactive oxygen species, which may underlie vascular injurious effects in conditions such as hypertension [ 32 ], the phenotype of OPG-knockout mice ultimately indicates circulating OPG as a biomarker, rather than a mediator, of atherosclerosis, as OPG-deficient mice develop early onset arterial calcification [ 33 ]. In this context, the association of high serum OPG level with coronary artery calcification [ 15 , 16 ], and cardiovascular [ 17 , 18 ] and all-cause mortality [ 19 , 20 ] in patients with CKD has been suggested. The association between serum OPG level with long-term visit-to-visit BPV presented in this study highlights a novel role of circulating OPG as a biomarker that predict a surrogate of CV events.…”

“…Previous studies demonstrated that high serum OPG level is associated with the presence [ 15 ] and severity [ 16 ] of coronary artery calcification in patients with CKD. In this regard, elevated circulating OPG level has been proposed as a predictor of cardiovascular [ 17 , 18 ] and all-cause [ 19 , 20 ] mortality in patients with CKD. Serum OPG level is positively associated with peripheral artery disease, arterial stiffness, and arterial calcification in patients with end-stage renal disease [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ].…”
