Study IDs Possible Relationship Between NGAL and CKD-MBD in Dialysis
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is not only a biomarker of kidney injury but also a bone-derived factor involved in metabolism.

Copper Intake Positively Associated With Bone Mineral Density and Negatively Associated With Osteoporosis Risk
Researchers assessed the association between copper intake and risk for osteoporosis among US adults, using the NHANES survey.
IBD and Osteoporosis: Key Takeaways and New Data
Reviewing a patient’s potential risk for osteoporosis should be a routine part of each visit for patients with IBD.
Falls and Bone Fractures in Older Men May Be Related to Poor Muscle Strength
Investigators sought to assess how muscle mass and physical performance contribute to a decline in bone strength and subsequent risk of falls and fractures in older men.
Urate-Lowering Therapy Associated With Decreased Gout Flare Risk
Patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia who achieved serum uric acid levels of 6.0 mg/dL or less while on urate-lowering therapy had fewer gout flare episodes, a study found.
Inflammatory Biomarkers Have Differing Effects on Joint Symptoms and Structural Changes in Knee Osteoarthritis
Researchers investigated the longitudinal associations of serum inflammatory markers with joint symptoms and structures in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Cognitive Decline May Up Bone Loss, Fracture Risk in Older Women
There is a significant association between cognitive decline and both bone loss and fracture risk, independent of aging, in community-dwelling, older women.
Serious Cardiovascular Events Linked to Low BMD in the CKD Population
Lowest vs highest tertile of total hip BMD was significantly associated with a 2.2-fold increased risk for major adverse cardiovascular events, study finds.
Etelcalcetide Shows Efficacy in Clinical Practice
Patients on hemodialysis who have secondary hyperparathyroidism experienced a 40% reduction in PTH levels over 12 months of etelcalcetide treatment, investigators reported.
