ABSTRACT
There is limited evidence on the use of romosozumab (ROMO) in the treatment of osteoporosis in patients on hemodialysis (HD); thus, we aimed to investigate this topic. This prospective, observational, single-center cohort study included 13 prior osteoporosis treatment-naïve patients on HD with osteoporosis. They first received ROMO once monthly for 12 months (210 mg; subcutaneously once every month). Thereafter, they received denosumab (DENO) for an additional 12 months (60 mg; subcutaneously once every 6 months). We examined the incidence of new fractures; treatment safety; and temporal changes in the bone mineral density (BMD), bone metabolism markers, and vascular calcification. No new cases of fractures were noted. The median one-year percentage changes (from the baseline) in the BMDs at the lumbar spine (LS), total hip (TH), and femoral neck (FN) were + 9.0%, + 2.5%, and + 4.7%, respectively. These changes were maintained for 24 months. The corresponding relative changes from the baseline to 24 months thereafter were + 14.9%, + 5.4%, and + 6.5%, respectively. The percentage changes in TH BMD and FN BMD were negatively correlated with baseline BMD. Coronary artery and thoracic aorta calcification scores increased slightly from baseline to 12 months thereafter. However, fatal events (cardiovascular disease-associated and all-cause deaths) did not occur during ROMO treatment. Effectiveness of ROMO was better in patients who had severe osteoporosis with low TH BMD, low FN BMD, and high tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b level at ROMO initiation.
