Bone mineral density in patients on maintenance hemodialysis and effect of chronic hepatitis C virus infection.

Abstract：

OBJECTIVE:To determine the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in HD patients at our center; to investigate whether HCV infection affects BMD in hemodialysis patients; to test for correlations between bone mineral density (BMD) and clinical and laboratory parameters in this population. SUBJECTS AND METHODS:The study involved 76 end-stage renal disease patients. Forty-three (56.6%) patients were tested negative for anti-HCV antibodies and HCV-RNA. Thirty-three (43.4%) of them had positivity of anti-HCV antibodies and permanent or intermittent HCV-RNA positivity at least for two years. Mean HD duration was 86.4 months. Patients completed a standard questionnaire that listed age, sex, occupation, education level; cause of renal failure, smoking history, dialysis duration, and sports activities engaged in during life, and pathologic bone fractures. The women answered additional items about age at menarche, number of pregnancies and menopausal status. Each subject underwent a baseline physical examination, including measurement of body weight and height for calculation of body mass index. The results of laboratory tests that had been done at monthly visits in the previous year were retrospectively evaluated, and mean levels for the year were used for correlation testing. Bone mineral density was measured in the spine, femoral neck and forearm. Relationships between BMD values and chronic HCV infection, laboratory results and clinical parameters were analyzed. RESULTS:In the 43 patients who were negative for anti-HCV antibodies and HCV-RNA, spine BMD testing showed osteopenia in 16 (37.2%) cases and osteoporosis in 7 (16.3%) cases. The corresponding values for the neck of the femur were 14 (32.6%) and 6 (14.0%), and for the forearm were 19 (44.2%) and 15 (34.9%). In the 33 anti-HCV antibodies and HCV-RNA positive patients; spine BMD testing showed osteopenia in 10 (30.3%) cases and osteoporosis in 7 (21.2%) cases. The corresponding values for the neck of the femur were 17 (51.5%) and 4 (12.1%), and for the forearm were 4 (12.1%) and 25 (75.8%). Bone mineral density decreased as dialysis duration increased (p<0.05). There was no statistical difference between BMD measurements of chronic HCV infection positive and negative group. CONCLUSION:However the mean BMD values for all three sites in the 76 HD patients were low HCV infection may not be a risk factor for low BMD in this population.
