Effect of declining renal function on bone density in aging women

Abstract: The factors that are responsible for trabecular bone loss in aging women are not completely understood. To evaluate declining renal function as a possible factor, we studied 19 Caucasian women (average age 67) who were from 6 to 41 years postmenopausal. Trabecular bone density was quantitated by computerized tomography of the spine. Serum calcium, phosphorus, and creatinine were normal in all subjects. Creatinine clearance averaged 74 ml/min (range 38-122), decreased with age (r = -0.60, P = 0.003), and was in… Show more

“…While some studies report decreased circulating levels of 1,25(OH)2D3 with age (42)(43)(44), similar findings were not observed by others (45)(46)(47). Nevertheless, an impaired ability ofthe aging kidneys to convert 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 to 1,25-(OH)2 D3 may contribute to lower circulating levels with age (44,46,48). 1,25-(OH )2 D3 receptor levels in rats and in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of women are reduced with age (49,50).…”

“…Several factors could explain the association between CKD and osteoporosis and osteopenia. Patients with CKD are likely to be older and have lower levels of vitamin D. In addition, there is increasing evidence that CKD itself is a risk factor for low BMD [4][5][6][7]. Patients with impaired renal function have been found to have greater rates of bone loss [7,20].…”

“…More than half of individuals older than 70 years have a decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (<60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ) [3]. CKD is an independent risk factor for osteoporosis [4][5][6][7]. Individuals with CKD may have an increased risk for osteoporosis for several reasons, including shared risk factors for both conditions such as advanced age and female gender.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5] CKD may have an increased risk for osteoporosis for several reasons, including shared risk factors for both conditions such as advanced age and female gender. Alternatively, CKD may lead to metabolic abnormalities that accelerate bone loss, such as chronic metabolic acidosis, hypogonadism, hyperparathyroidism, and abnormalities with vitamin D metabolism.…”
