    Summary

    Long-term treatment with ketoanalogues (KA) alongside vitamin D improved renal osteopathy in patients with kidney insufficiency. This combination therapy positively impacted bone health markers and histological findings.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Endocrinology
    • Bone Metabolism

    Background:

    • Renal osteopathy is a common complication of chronic kidney disease.
    • Traditional treatments include vitamin D and phosphate binders.
    • The role of essential amino acids, specifically ketoanalogues (KA), in managing renal osteopathy requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the long-term influence of essential amino acids (KA) combined with vitamin D on renal osteopathy.
    • To compare the efficacy of vitamin D monotherapy versus combined KA and vitamin D therapy in patients with renal insufficiency.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative study involving three groups: patients treated with KA and vitamin D, patients treated with vitamin D alone, and a control group without adequate conservative therapy.
    • Serum levels of calcium, phosphate, 25-OH-D, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and creatinine were monitored.
    • Bone mineral content and histological findings from bone biopsies were assessed.

    Main Results:

    • Combined KA and vitamin D therapy led to significant improvements in serum calcium, 25-OH-D, and CT levels, and decreased PTH and phosphate levels.
    • Bone mineral content was normal in both therapy groups.
    • Histological improvement of renal osteopathy was significantly higher in the group receiving additional KA therapy (51.9%) compared to vitamin D alone (20.5%).

    Conclusions:

    • Long-term treatment with essential amino acids (KA) demonstrates a favorable influence on renal osteopathy.
    • Combination therapy with KA and vitamin D offers superior benefits for bone health in patients with renal insufficiency compared to vitamin D alone.
