Background
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25D) >20ng/mL to optimize bone quality for the general population. In contrast, optimal 25D levels in adults and children with pre-dialysis CKD have not been established. We used bone-tissue level data to investigate the 25D level that is associated with optimal turnover and mineralization in adult and pediatric patients with pre-dialysis CKD.
Methods
From Columbia University, Montefiore Medical Center, NorthShore University and UCLA, we pooled iliac crest bone biopsies with tetracycline double labeling and quantified relationships between 25D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D) and histomorphometry in 25 adults and 31 children with CKD. Spearmen correlations were adjusted for kidney function (CKD-EPI in adults; Schwartz Formula in children). To determine 25D levels that optimized bone formation and mineralization we used receiver operator curve (ROC) analysis and defined high turnover renal osteodystrophy (ROD) as bone formation or mineralization in the upper tertile of respective adult and pediatric populations.
Results
In adults, mean±SD age and GFR were 63±14yrs and 27±18mL/min, respectively, and levels of 25D and 1,25D were 28±17ng/mL and 34±20pg/mL, respectively. 25D was inversely correlated with bone formation rate (BFR; r -0.47, p0.02) and mineralizing surface (r -0.48, p0.02), and 1,25D was inversely correlated with osteoid surface (r -0.54, p0.006). In ROC analysis, 25D levels ≥35ng/mL provided 100% specificity of both non-high turnover and normal mineralization rates and no patient had high turnover ROD. In contrast, >60% of patients with 25D <35ng/mL had high turnover ROD. In children, age and GFR were 14±4yrs and 50±21mL/min respectively and levels of 25D and 1,25D were 27±7ng/mL and 33±14pg/mL, respectively. 25D did not correlate with histomorphometry, but 1,25D was positively correlated with BFR (r 0.41, p0.02) and mineral apposition rate (r 0.46, p0.01).
Conclusion
Relationships between 25D and 1,25D and bone differ in adult and pediatric CKD patients. In adults, 25D levels that are greater than the IOM recommendations may be needed to optimize bone quality. In children, 1,25D may have more of an effect on bone quality than 25D. Larger studies will further explore these findings.
