Background
Because the preferred bisphosphonate regimen for kidney transplantation (KT) patients is still controversial, we aimed to compare different bisphosphonate treatments.
Methods
We searched PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL and reference lists of relevant articles up to April 1, 2017. We included RCTs comparing bisphosphonates in adult KT patients. The primary outcome was BMD change at the lumber spine and femoral neck. We performed pairwise meta-analyses by random effect model and network meta-analysis (NMA) by Bayesian model. We used the GRADE framework to assess the quality of evidence.
Results
A total of 21 RCTs involving 1332 patients with 6 bisphosphonate regimens were included in the NMA. At the lumber spine (Figure 1A), calcium alone showed significantly lower percent change in BMD compared to combination with vitamin D analogs or other bisphosphonates except clodronate. Pamidronate with calcium and vitamin D analogs showed improvemed BMD in comparison to clodronate with calcium. The combination of calcium and vitamin D analogs had a significantly lower influence than adding pamidronate or alendronate. Considering absolute terms (Figure 1B), zoledronic acid and calcium outperformed calcium alone. In terms of percent change in BMD at femoral neck (Figure 1C), both pamidronate and ibandronate combined with calcium revealed a remarkable gain compared with calcium. In absolue terms (Figure 1D), alendronate with or without vitamin D analogs, displayed a significant increase compared to calcium alone. Ibandronate with calcium demonstrated advantages than any other treatments.
Conclusion
New generation bisphosphonates were more favorable in KT patients to improve BMD. Bisphosphonate therapy was well-tolerated without increasing the frequency of adverse events and graft loss.
