Brief summary

Background: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D (1,25-OHD) as well as mineral bone metabolism modulators like sclerostin are thought to play an important role in in diabetic patients with chronic renal failure. The present study aimed to analyse the levels of serum sclerostin before and after hemodialysis which is a primary element of treatment in such combined disease states. Methods: Serum sclerostin concentrations were measured using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit with 56 individuals who 14 chronic hemodialysis patients with diabetes, 14 chronic hemodialysis patients with non-diabetes and 28 healthy volunteers as a control group.

Detailed description

Sclerostin results in a phenotype characterized by high bone mass (sclerosteosis) in humans, it is produced by osteocytes and chondrocytes, it suppresses osteoblast activity by inhibiting canonicular Wnt / β-catenin signal, it is described as an anti-anabolic protein of 22-kDa size.In diabetes mellitus patients osteoporosis and obesity always create problems, increased levels of sclerostin inhibit canonicular Wnt / β-catenin signal and is potentially held responsible from bone fragility. Bone problems are important both for chronic kidney disease patients and diabetes mellitus patients and in instances where these two diseases coexist, the importance of sclerostin as a new marker of bone turnover increases. The objective of this study is to evaluate how serum sclerostin levels are affected in diabetes mellitus patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment. To this end, the investigators analyzed the levels of serum sclerostin before and after hemodialysis as it is a main element of treatment in such combined disease states.
