Abstract

Summary

Rationale: This study evaluates TBS for estimating bone microarchitecture in ESRD patients using HR-pQCT as the reference technique. Main results: TBS correlates significantly with vBMD and bone microarchitecture, unlike aBMD. Significance: TBS may complement bone health assessment in ESRD patients by offering additional information alongside aBMD.

Purpose

Given the high fracture risk, non-invasive techniques for assessing bone fragility in chronic kidney disease (CKD) remain important. Trabecular bone score (TBS) may provide additional information that could help guide treatment and follow-up decisions. The aim of this study is to investigate whether TBS reflects bone microarchitecture in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) as the reference technique. Additionally, we aim to identify parameters associated with a low TBS.

Methods

Seventy-five ESRD patients were included at the time of kidney transplantation (KTx). Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) was analyzed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). TBS was assessed from the L1-L4 area during DXA. Volumetric BMD (vBMD) and bone microarchitecture at tibia and radius sites were analyzed using HR-pQCT.

Results

In ESRD patients, those with TBS < 1.370 were older and had a higher body mass index (BMI). In contrast to T-score-based classification (≤ -2.5 or > -2.5), low TBS was linked to significantly lower trabecular and cortical vBMD, reduced trabecular bone volume fraction (BV/TV) and trabecular number (Tb.N), and increased trabecular separation (Tb.Sp). In multivariate analysis, older age, higher BMI, and lower Tb.N remained independently associated with low TBS, while no HR-pQCT parameters were linked to low aBMD (T-score ≤ -2.5).

Conclusion

TBS correlates with both trabecular and cortical parameters measured by HR-pQCT, potentially offering a complementary perspective on bone microstructure compared to aBMD. At the time of KTx, a low TBS appears to better discriminate patients with significantly lower vBMD than aBMD alone.

摘要 理论依据:本研究以 HR-pQCT 为参考技术,评估了 TBS 对 ESRD 患者骨微结构的估算。主要结果:与 aBMD 不同,TBS 与 vBMD 和骨微结构有明显相关性。意义重大:目的鉴于慢性肾脏病(CKD)患者骨折风险高,评估其骨质脆性的无创技术仍然非常重要。骨小梁评分(TBS)可提供有助于指导治疗和随访决策的额外信息。本研究旨在使用高分辨率外周定量计算机断层扫描(HR-pQCT)作为参考技术,研究 TBS 是否能反映终末期肾病(ESRD)患者的骨微结构。此外,我们还旨在确定与低 TBS 相关的参数。方法纳入了肾移植(KTx)时的 75 名 ESRD 患者。采用双能 X 射线吸收测定法(DXA)对骨矿物质密度(aBMD)进行分析。在 DXA 过程中,对 L1-L4 区域的 TBS 进行了评估。结果在 ESRD 患者中,TBS 为 1.370 的患者年龄较大,体重指数(BMI)较高。与基于 T 评分的分类(≤ -2.5 或 > -2.5)不同,低 TBS 与骨小梁和皮质 vBMD 显著降低、骨小梁骨量分数 (BV/TV) 和骨小梁数量 (Tb.N) 减少以及骨小梁分离度 (Tb.Sp) 增加有关。结论TBS与HR-pQCT测量的骨小梁和皮质参数相关,与aBMD相比,TBS可能为骨微观结构提供了一个补充视角。在进行 KTx 时,低 TBS 似乎比单纯的 aBMD 更能区分 vBMD 明显较低的患者。
