The study found that TNF-alpha in pediatric CKD is positively associated with biomarkers of CKD-MBD and negatively associated with height Z-score, indicating that inflammation may contribute to the development of CKD-MBD and growth impairment in this population.
Background Mineral and bone disorder (MBD) and growth impairment are common complications of pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD). Chronic inflammation detrimentally affects bone health and statural growth in non-CKD settings, but the impact of inflammation on CKD-MBD and growth in pediatric CKD remains poorly understood. This study assessed associations between inflammatory cytokines with biomarkers of CKD-MBD and statural growth in pediatric CKD. Methods This is a cross-sectional study of children with predialysis CKD stages II-V. Cytokines (IL-1b, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, IL-13, TNF-alpha, interferon-gamma), bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), and procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) were measured at the same time as standard CKD-MBD biomarkers. Associations between cytokines, CKD-MBD biomarkers, and height z-score were assessed using linear regression analysis. Results Among 63 children, 52.4% had stage 3 CKD, 76.2% non-glomerular CKD etiology, and 21% short stature. TNF-alpha was the only cytokine associated with parathyroid hormone (PTH) independent of glomerular filtration rate. After stratification by low, medium, and high TNF-alpha tertiles, significant differences in PTH, serum phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, BAP, P1NP, and height z-score were found. In a multivariate analysis, TNF-alpha positively associated with phosphorus, PTH, and alkaline phosphatase and inversely associated with height z-score, independent of kidney function, age, sex, and active vitamin D analogue use. Conclusions TNF-alpha is positively associated with biomarkers of CKD-MBD and inversely associated with height z-score, indicating that inflammation likely contributes to the development of CKD-MBD and growth impairment in pediatric CKD. Prospective studies to definitively assess causative effects of inflammation on bone health and growth in children with CKD are warranted.
