Lupus nephritis and U1-RNP-antibodies are associated with low bone mineral density and osteoporosis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: baseline findings in a sub-cohort of patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are at higher risk for osteoporosis and fragility fractures. Our study aimed to identify disease-specific factors with impact on bone mineral density (BMD) and the risk of osteoporosis, and to evaluate the effectiveness of DXA-derived 3D femur parameters versus BMD and trabecular bone score (TBS) in discriminating pre-existent fragility fractures. We analyzed baseline data of a consecutive subcohort of patients with SLE with current or past GC treatment, fulfilling the EULAR/ACR 2019 SLE classification criteria. We used multivariable linear and logistic regression models to identify BMD- and osteoporosis-related factors. DXA-derived 3D measurements of the femur were performed with 3D-Shaper software. Discriminatory performance of BMD, TBS and 3D femoral parameters for fragility fractures was assessed by AUC values. Forty-one percent of 110 patients with SLE had osteoporosis. Lupus nephritis (LN) was present in 35% of cases, with 61% (23/38) of these being predominantly classified as classes IV and V. Factors significantly associated with lower BMD included LN classes III and IV, U1-RNP antibodies, higher C-reactive protein, and longer disease duration. Clinical remission, higher Siglec-1 levels, higher body mass index, and higher health assessment questionnaire (HAQ) scores correlated positively with BMD. Osteoporosis was linked to LN, higher age, HAQ, and complement factor 3 levels. Our findings suggest that 3D bone structure analysis may be helpful in discriminating past vertebral fractures. Disease severity indicated by LN, high CRP, presence of U1-RNP antibodies, and extended disease duration are detrimental to bone health. Moreover, 3D-DXA parameters can be integrated in clinical practise to assess bone health.
期刊介绍:
Established in 1999, Arthritis Research and Therapy is an international, open access, peer-reviewed journal, publishing original articles in the area of musculoskeletal research and therapy as well as, reviews, commentaries and reports. A major focus of the journal is on the immunologic processes leading to inflammation, damage and repair as they relate to autoimmune rheumatic and musculoskeletal conditions, and which inform the translation of this knowledge into advances in clinical care. Original basic, translational and clinical research is considered for publication along with results of early and late phase therapeutic trials, especially as they pertain to the underpinning science that informs clinical observations in interventional studies.
