- Parathyroidectomy Improves Restless Leg Syndrome in Patients on Hemodialysis(2016) SANTOS, Roberto Savio Silva; COELHO, Fernando Morgadinho Santos; SILVA, Bruno Caldin da; GRACIOLLI, Fabiana Giorgeti; DOMINGUEZ, Wagner Velasquez; MONTENEGRO, Fabio Luiz de Menezes; JORGETTI, Vanda; MOYSES, Rosa Maria Affonso; ELIAS, Rosilene MottaBackground Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a sleep disorder with high prevalence among patients on hemodialysis. It has been postulated that high phosphate and high parathyroid hormone may be implicated in its pathogenesis. Standard international criteria and face-to-face interview are not always applied. Methods this was an interventional prospective study in which 19 patients (6 men, aged 48+/-11 years) with severe hyperparathyroidism were evaluated. RLS diagnosis and rating scale were accessed based on the International RLS Study Group pre- and post-parathyroidectomy. Patients also underwent standard polysomnography. Results At baseline, RLS was present in 10 patients (52.6%), and pain was the most reported symptom associated with the diagnosis. Patients with RLS had higher serum phosphate (p = 0.008) that remained independently associated with RLS in a logistic regression model, adjusted for hemoglobin, age and gender (HR = 7.28; CI = 1.14-46.3, p = 0.035). After parathyroidectomy, there was a reduction of serum parathyroid hormone, phosphate, calcium and alkaline phosphatase, and an increase of 25(OH)-vitamin D, and Fetuin-A. Parathyroidectomy alleviated RLS (from 52% to 21%; p = 0.04), which was accompanied by a decrease in severity scale, in association with relief of pain and pruritus. Polysomnography in these patients showed an improvement of sleep parameters as measured by sleep efficiency, sleep latency and percentage of REM sleep. Conclusion RLS is associated with high levels of phosphate in patients with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism on hemodialysis. Pain is most reported complain in these patients. Parathyroidectomy provided an opportunity to relief RLS. Whether the reduction of serum phosphorus or parathyroid hormone contributed to this improvement merits further investigation.

- Restless legs syndrome in patients on hemodialysis: Polysomnography findings(2019) BAMBINI, Beatriz B. M.; MOYSES, Rosa M. A.; BATISTA, Luci C. D.; COELHO, Brunelle B. S. S.; TUFIK, Sergio; ELIAS, Rosilene M.; COELHO, Fernando M.Introduction: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a highly prevalent sleep movement disorder usually accompanied by periodic limb movements of sleep (PLMS). The incidence of RLS and PLMS in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis is much higher. Clinically, RLS and PLMS can co-occur. We hypothesized that patients with ESRD on dialysis would have a distinct presentation of RLS, with a higher prevalence of PLMS. Methods: We examined clinical, demographic, biochemical, and polysomnographic characteristics of RLS in patients on dialysis matched to control subjects with normal renal function based on age, sex, body mass index, and frequency of apneas and hypopneas per hour of sleep, defined by the apnea and hypopnea index (AHI), in a proportion of 3:1. Patients with ESRD were on hemodialysis three times per week. Polysomnography was performed overnight in the sleep laboratory. Findings: Patients on dialysis compared to control subjects had a lower amount of N3 sleep (77.6 +/- 39.9 minutes vs. 94.8 +/- 33.7 minutes, p = 0.037) and REM sleep (55.6 +/- 27.5 minutes vs. 74.1 +/- 28.4 minutes, p = 0.006), regardless of the presence of RLS. Among the patients on dialysis, those with RLS had higher PLMS. In the control group, patients with RLS had a lower ferritin level, which was not observed in the dialysis group. There was a significant interaction between PLMS and ESRD (p = 0.001), with a higher prevalence of PLMS in patients with ESRD on dialysis in a model adjusted for AHI, sex, arousals, and age. Factors that were associated with PLMS were RLS (p = 0.003), ESRD (p = 0.0001), and AHI (p = 0.041), with an adjusted R-2 of 0.321. Conclusion: RLS in patients with ESRD on dialysis is independently associated with PLMS, regardless of the severity of sleep apnea, arousals, and age.
- Vitamin D Deficiency Aggravates Chronic Kidney Disease Progression after Ischemic Acute Kidney Injury(2014) GONCALVES, Janaina Garcia; BRAGANCA, Ana Carolina de; CANALE, Daniele; SHIMIZU, Maria Heloisa Massola; SANCHES, Talita Rojas; MOYSES, Rosa Maria Affonso; ANDRADE, Lucia; SEGURO, Antonio Carlos; VOLPINI, Rildo AparecidoBackground: Despite a significant improvement in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD), its incidence and prevalence has been increasing over the years. Progressive renal fibrosis is present in CKD and involves the participation of several cytokines, including Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1). Besides cardiovascular diseases and infections, several studies show that Vitamin D status has been considered as a non-traditional risk factor for the progression of CKD. Given the importance of vitamin D in the maintenance of essential physiological functions, we studied the events involved in the chronic kidney disease progression in rats submitted to ischemia/reperfusion injury under vitamin D deficiency (VDD). Methods: Rats were randomized into four groups: Control; VDD; ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI); and VDD+IRI. At the 62 day after sham or IRI surgery, we measured inulin clearance, biochemical variables and hemodynamic parameters. In kidney tissue, we performed immunoblotting to quantify expression of Klotho, TGF-beta, and vitamin D receptor (VDR); gene expression to evaluate renin, angiotensinogen, and angiotensin-converting enzyme; and immunohistochemical staining for ED1 (macrophages), type IV collagen, fibronectin, vimentin, and alpha-smooth mucle actin. Histomorphometric studies were performed to evaluate fractional interstitial area. Results: IRI animals presented renal hypertrophy, increased levels of mean blood pressure and plasma PTH. Furthermore, expansion of the interstitial area, increased infiltration of ED1 cells, increased expression of collagen IV, fibronectin, vimentin and alpha-actin, and reduced expression of Klotho protein were observed. VDD deficiency contributed to increased levels of plasma PTH as well as for important chronic tubulointerstitial changes (fibrosis, inflammatory infiltration, tubular dilation and atrophy), increased expression of TGF-beta 1 and decreased expression of VDR and Klotho protein observed in VDD+IRI animals. Conclusion: Through inflammatory pathways and involvement of TGF-beta 1 growth factor, VDD could be considered as an aggravating factor for tubulointerstitial damage and fibrosis progression following acute kidney injury induced by ischemia/reperfusion.
- Chronic kidney disease mineral bone disorder in childhood and young adulthood: a ′growing′ understanding(2024) LALAYIANNIS, Alexander D.; SOEIRO, Emilia M. D.; MOYSES, Rosa M. A.; SHROFF, RukshanaChronic kidney disease (CKD) mineral and bone disorder (MBD) comprises a triad of biochemical abnormalities (of calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone and vitamin D), bone abnormalities (turnover, mineralization and growth) and extra-skeletal calcification. Mineral dysregulation leads to bone demineralization causing bone pain and an increased fracture risk compared to healthy peers. Vascular calcification, with hydroxyapatite deposition in the vessel wall, is a part of the CKD-MBD spectrum and, in turn, leads to vascular stiffness, left ventricular hypertrophy and a very high cardiovascular mortality risk. While the growing bone requires calcium, excess calcium can deposit in the vessels, such that the intake of calcium, calcium-containing medications and high calcium dialysate need to be carefully regulated. Normal physiological bone mineralization continues into the third decade of life, many years beyond the rapid growth in childhood and adolescence, implying that skeletal calcium requirements are much higher in younger people compared to the elderly. Much of the research into the link between bone (de)mineralization and vascular calcification in CKD has been performed in older adults and these data must not be extrapolated to children or younger adults. In this article, we explore the physiological changes in bone turnover and mineralization in children and young adults, the pathophysiology of mineral bone disease in CKD and a potential link between bone demineralization and vascular calcification.
- Persistence of Bone and Mineral Disorders 2 Years After Successful Kidney Transplantation(2013) NEVES, Carolina L.; REIS, Luciene M. dos; BATISTA, Daniella G.; CUSTODIO, Melani R.; GRACIOLLI, Fabiana G.; MARTIN, Rita de Cassia T.; NEVES, Katia R.; DOMINGUEZ, Wagner V.; MOYSES, Rosa M.; JORGETTI, VandaBackground. Studies that have conducted bone biopsies after kidney transplantation are scarce, and the results are conflicting. Methods. We evaluate the bone histomorphometry, in vitro proliferation, and alkaline phosphatase expression in osteoblasts isolated from bone biopsies from 27 kidney transplant patients. The patients had preserved renal function and were treated with the same immunosuppressive therapy, receiving a minimum dose of corticosteroids. Results. The biochemical analysis revealed that 41% of the patients presented with hypercalcemia, 26% presented with hypophosphatemia, and hypovitaminosis D was detected in 63%. The histomorphometric analysis showed a reduced trabecular number and increased trabecular separation, mineral apposition rate, and mineralization lag time, as well as higher osteoid surface, osteoblastic surface, resorption surface, and osteoclastic surface and a lower mineralizing surface, compared with the controls. Based on the TMV classification, bone turnover was normal in 48%, high in 26%, and low in 26% of patients. Bone mineralization was delayed in 48% of the patients, and 58% of the patients with hypovitaminosis D presented with delayed bone mineralization. Bone volume was low in 37% of the patients. The osteoblasts from patients exhibited a higher degree of proliferation compared with those from controls. Conclusion. Eight-two percent of our patients presented with alterations in at least one of the TMV parameters. Persistence of hyperparathyroidism, hypovitaminosis D, and immunosuppressive drugs may have influenced osteoblast function, which would explain many of the bone alterations found in these patients.
- EVALUATION OF BONE MICROARCHITECTURE BY HIGH-RESOLUTION PERIPHERAL QUANTITATIVE COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE: COMPARISON WITH TRANSILIAC BONE BIOPSY(2015) MARQUES, Igor; ARAUJO, Maria Julia; GRACIOLLI, Fabiana; REIS, Luciene dos; CUSTODIO, Melani; PEREIRA, Rosa; JAMAL, Sophie; JORGETTI, Vanda; DAVID-NETO, Elias; MOYSES, Rosa
- Disturbances of Wnt/beta-catenin pathway and energy metabolism in early CKD: effect of phosphate binders(2013) OLIVEIRA, Rodrigo B. de; GRACIOLLI, Fabiana G.; REIS, Luciene M. dos; CANCELA, Ana L. E.; CUPPARI, Lilian; CANZIANI, Maria E.; CARVALHO, Aluizio B.; JORGETTI, Vanda; MOYSES, Rosa M. A.Mineral bone disorder (MBD) is an early complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD), with complex interactions in the bonekidneyenergy axis. These events lead to impaired bone remodelling, which in turn is associated with cardiovascular disease. Recently, we reported on a positive effect of phosphate binder treatment on bone remodelling markers and a reduction in serum FGF-23 levels in predialysis-CKD patients. The goal of the present study of this trial was to examine the effects of phosphate binders on energy-regulating hormones and Wnt pathway. In this present post hoc analysis of the above randomized, open-label, 8-week trial, which compared the effects of increasing doses of sevelamer-HCl or calcium acetate on various CKD-MBD parameters in 40 normophosphatemic CKD Stage 34 patients, we measured serum sclerostin, Dickkopf-1, leptin, adiponectin and serotonin concentrations. Serum sclerostin, Dickkopf-1 and leptin were elevated at baseline despite normal calcium, phosphorus levels and daily urinary phosphorus excretion. There were significant and positive correlations between sclerostin and FGF-23, as well between leptin and Dickkopf-1. Treatment with both phosphate binders led to a significant decrease in phosphate overload. However, sevelamer-HCl, but not with calcium acetate, led to a significant decrease in serum FGF-23, sclerostin and leptin, and to a significant increase in bone alkaline phosphatase levels. Early stages of CKD are associated with an impairment of the Wnt pathway, as reflected by elevated sclerostin, and a dysregulation of energy-regulating hormones. Many of these disturbances can be ameliorated by phosphate binder treatment, more with sevelamer-HCl than with calcium acetate.
- The unexpected presence of iron in bone biopsies of hemodialysis patients(2018) CUSTODIO, Melani R.; ELIAS, Rosilene M.; VELASQUEZ, Wagner D.; REIS, Luciene M. dos; OLIVEIRA, Ivone B.; MOYSES, Rosa M. A.; CARVALHO, Aluizio B.; JORGETTI, VandaPurpose Bone biopsy defines classical diseases that constitute the renal osteodystrophy. There is a recent concern regarding other histological findings that are not appreciated by using the turnover, mineralization, and volume (TMV) classification. Iron (Fe) overload has been considered a new challenge and the real significance of the presence of this metal in bones is not completely elucidated. Therefore, the main goal of the current study was to not only to identify bone Fe, but also correlate its presence with demographic, and biochemical characteristics. Methods This is a cross-sectional analysis of bone biopsies performed in 604 patients on dialysis from 2010 to 2014 in a tertiary academic Hospital. Results Histomorphometric findings revealed the presence of Fe in 29.1%. Fe was associated with higher levels of serum ferritin and serum calcium. No TMV status was related to Fe bone overload. Conclusion Our study has highlighted that the presence of Fe in one-third of bone samples has unknown clinical significance. The lack of other contemporary bone biopsy study reporting Fe prevents us from comparison. The findings presented here should be specifically addressed in a future research and will require attention prior to implementation of any clinical guideline. If any proposed treatment, however, would change the bone Fe-related morbidity is undetermined.
