Activin A: a marker of mineral bone disorder in children with chronic kidney disease?
Background Activin A has been shown to enhance osteoclast activity and its inhibition results in bone growth. The potential role of activin A as a marker of chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disease (CKD-MBD) and its relationship with other markers has not been studied in children with CKD. Method...

Zusammenfassung: | Background
Activin A has been shown to enhance osteoclast activity and its inhibition results in bone growth. The potential role of activin A as a marker of chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disease (CKD-MBD) and its relationship with other markers has not been studied in children with CKD.
Methods
A cross sectional study was conducted among 40 children aged 2 to 18 years with CKD (Stage 2 to 5; 10 in each stage) and 40 matched controls. Activin A, cathepsin K, FGF-23, PTH, serum calcium, phosphorous and alkaline phosphatase in both groups were measured and compared. The correlation of activin A and markers of CKD-MBD was studied.
