Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects> 37 million individuals in the USA and> 850million individuals worldwide [1, 2]. CKD is associated with a number of major complications, including bone disease [3]. CKD–mineral and bone disease (MBD) is common in patients with early CKD and is universally present in patients with advanced CKD and on dialysis [3]. Parathyroid hormone, fibroblast growth factor 23, 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D and o-klotho regulate calcium and phosphorus levels, ensuring the availability of these minerals for bone remodeling. Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) refers to the bone histological lesions that affect patients whose kidneys are unable to maintain mineral metabolite and vitamin D homeostasis [3]. In early CKD, MBD and the accompanying ROD often go unrecognized since the disease is asymptomatic. As CKD progresses, bone loss and fractures occur and increase in severity with more severe degrees of kidney dysfunction [4]. Studies in patients with CKD and in patients on dialysis [5–10] all demonstrate that patients with kidney disease have a 2-to 100-fold increase in fracture risk compared with individuals without CKD. Data from the US Renal Data System between 1989 and 1996 reported that the relative risk of hip fractures in males and females on dialysis was, respectively, 4.0 and 4.44 times higher than that in the general population [5]. Alarmingly, despite improvements in the treatment of MBD, the risk for hip fractures increased considerably over the consequent years [11]. Hip fracture risk peaked in 2004 and was 43% higher than that in dialysis patients in 1996. The risk decreased by 2009 but remained 27% higher compared with 1996. Furthermore, the incidence of peripheral fractures, which are linked to defects in cortical bone, doubled over the same time interval [11]. Fractures are debilitating and result in excess mortality and healthcare-associated costs. The 30-day and 1-year mortality rates are as high as 16%[11] and 64%[7], respectively. To put this into perspective, the 1-year mortality rate following hip fracture in the general population is 20%—while this is high, it remains remarkably lower than for patients with CKD [7]. Dialysis patients who sustain a hip fracture were reported to have a median survival time of 289days as compared with 714 days in age-, cardiovascular disease–and dialysis duration–matched controls without a hip fracture [12]. In addition to high mortality, fractures are debilitating and associated with prolonged rehabilitation and long-term pain. Of those who survived a hip fracture, only half regained their mobility and attained their prefracture level of independence [13]. The annual cost for management of fractures in patients with CKD Grades 3–5D is estimated to be as high as US $556 million [3]. A notable knowledge gap is our understanding of bone disease when CKD is mild. In this issue of Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, Desbiens et al.[14] used the CARTaGENE study, a prospective population-based survey of middle-aged to older individuals, to identify associations between early CKD and fracture risk. The authors included 19 391 of 19 990 individuals who were originally recruited in the CARTaGENE study. They applied the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation to a single creatinine measurement and stratified patients into CKD categories. Of those participants included in this investigation, 9114 had CKD Grade 2 and 756 had CKD Grade 3. Four hundred of the 9114 (4.4%) participants with CKD Grade 2 and 49 of the 756 (6.5%) participants with CKD Grade 3 sustained a fracture. The categorical analysis suggested that fracture risk was increased for CKD …
