Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to integrate bone measurements (including bone turnover markers (BTM), bone mineral density (BMD) measurement, vertebral fracture assessment (VFA), trabecular bone score (TBS) ) commonly used in the general population for primary osteoporosis evaluation to enhance the assessment of CKD-MBD.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Prospective observational study that will evaluate differences in bone (BMD, TBS, VFA and BTMs, serum calcium and phosphate) parameters in hemodialysis (HD) patients and kidney transplant recipients (KTR), compared to general population osteopenia/osteoporosis patients, at baseline and after one year of monitoring, with or without therapeutic intervention for CKD-MBD (KTR and HD groups).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Hemodialysis group

Patients undergoing HD for at least 12 months, aged 20-70 years, after signing an informed consent.

No interventions assigned to this group

Kidney transplant group

Patients with successful KTx performed at least 12 months prior to their enrollment, aged 20-70 years old, after signing an informed consent. Subjects will be eligible for inclusion regardless of KTx immunosuppression regimen, pre-transplantation history, history of pre-transplant dialysis, or whether the kidney donation was from a living or deceased donor.

No interventions assigned to this group

General population osteoporosis/osteopenia

Men and postmenopausal women diagnosed with primary osteopenia or osteoporosis, aged 50-70 years old, after signing an informed consent.

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. HD group: Patients undergoing HD for at least 12 months, aged 20-70 years, after signing an informed consent.
2. KTR group: Patients with successful KTx performed at least 12 months prior to their enrollment, aged 20-70 years old, after signing an informed consent. Subjects will be eligible for inclusion regardless of KTx immunosuppression regimen, pre-transplantation history, history of pre-transplant dialysis, or whether the kidney donation was from a living or deceased donor.
3. GPO group: men and postmenopausal women diagnosed with primary osteopenia or osteoporosis, aged 50-70 years old, after signing an informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

1. HD group: Treatment with active bone therapies (excluding calcium and vitamin D); ongoing cancer treatment or recent history of malignancy, cirrhosis, recent major fractures, patients who have received transplants other than kidney, secondary causes of osteoporosis (other than CKD or transplant-related: primary hyperparathyroidism, hyperthyroidism, congenital bone disorders, sarcoidosis, severe bone trauma, malignant tumors, inflammatory bowel disease, endogenous Cushing syndrome, anti-estrogen/anti-androgen therapy, and anorexia nervosa), pregnancy and breast-feeding.
2. KTR group: The same as for HD + return to dialysis + acute graft rejection.
3. GPO group: The same as for HD + diabetes mellitus + prolonged glucocorticoid therapy (\>7.5 mg Prednisone or equivalent for at least 3 months).
