Serum osteoprotegerin, RANKL and fibroblast growth factor-23 in children with chronic kidney disease

Osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of the nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) play a central role in renal osteodystrophy. We evaluated OPG/RANKL and FGF-23 levels in 51 children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) [ n  = 26 stage 3 or 4 (CKD3–4) and n  = 2...

Zusammenfassung:Osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of the nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) play a central role in renal osteodystrophy. We evaluated OPG/RANKL and FGF-23 levels in 51 children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) [ n  = 26 stage 3 or 4 (CKD3–4) and n  = 25 stage 5 (CKD5)] and 61 controls. Any possible association with intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and bone turnover markers was also investigated. The OPG levels were lower in the CKD3–4 group ( p
