Background: Marrow adipose tissue (MAT) is known to accumulate in patients with chronic kidney disease. This pilot study aimed to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD), MAT, visceral adipose tissue (VAT), and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) using computed tomography (CT) scans and to explore correlations between bone parameters, circulating Wnt/¥â-catenin pathway inhibitor levels, and adipose tissue parameters.
Methods: Single-center cross-sectional pilot study conducted in hemodialysis patients at the Centre Universitaire de Quebec, Hotel-Dieu de Quebec hospital, Canada. CT-scan slices were acquired at the levels of the hip, L3 vertebra, and tibia. Volumetric and areal BMD, tibia cortical thickness, VAT and SAT area, and fat marrow index (FMI) were analyzed using the Mindways QCT Pro software. Blood levels of sclerostin, dickkopf-related protein 1 (DKK1), fibroblast growth factor 23, and ¥á-Klotho were assessed. Spearman¡¯s rho test was used to evaluate correlations.
Results: Fifteen hemodialysis patients (median age, 75 [66-82] years; 80% male; dialysis vintage, 39.3 [27.4-71.0] months) were included. While inverse correlations were obtained between L3 FMI and BMD, positive correlations were found between proximal tibial FMI and vertebral and tibial BMD, as well as with tibial (proximal and distal) cortical thickness. VAT had a positive correlation with ¥á-Klotho levels, whereas L3 FMI had a negative correlation with DKK1 levels.
Conclusions: CT-scan allows simultaneous evaluation of bone and marrow adiposity in dialysis patients. Correlations between MAT and BMD vary depending on the bone site evaluated. DKK1 and ¥á-Klotho levels correlate with adipose tissue accumulation in dialysis patients.
