Abstract

Introduction: Bone disease associated with renal failure is termed renal osteodystrophy and is quite heterogeneous. Microscopic examination of a bone biopsy specimen is still considered the gold standard for diagnosis. Nevertheless, recent studies suggest that serum markers of bone formation and resorption may be of additional help in assessing bone turnover. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) and osteoprotegerin ligand (OPGL) constitute a complex mediator system involved in the regulation of the resorption process in bone. The present work aimed at studying the serum levels of osteoprotegerin and relation of osteoprotegerin to PTH and x-ray features of renal osteodystrophy has been studied. Subjects and methods: The present study was conducted on three groups Group I: 20 patients with chronic kidney disease( CKD) divided into two subgroups: Group Ia: 10 patients in stage 2 CKD (GFR of 60-89 ml/min) and stage 3 CKD (GFR of 30-59 ml/min).Group Ib: 10 patients in stage 4 CKD (GFR of 15-29 ml/min) and stage 5 CKD (GFR of <15 ml/min).Group II: 20 patients on maintenance hemodialysis for more than one year They were divided into two subgroups: Group IIa: 10 patients with intact PTH < 300 pg/ml.Group IIb: 10 patients with intact PTH > 300 pg/ml.Group III:10 age and sex matched healthy controls.Investigations will include measurements of Serum calcium,phosphorus, serum alkaline phosphatase,serum intact PTHand Assay of serum osteoprotegerin by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. Results: Serum levels of OPG were higher in patients with CKD and patients on maintenance hemodialysis than healthy control. Serum levels of OPG were significantly higher in stage 4 and 5 CKD than in stage 2 and 3 CKD. Conclusions: Serum OPG level could be of help in the non-invasive diagnosis and monitoring of bone turn over state in patients with CKD.
