Serum vitamin D, intact parathyroid hormone, and Fetuin A concentrations were associated with geriatric sarcopenia and cardiac hypertrophy.

ABSTRACT: With aging, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) increases. It plays a crucial role in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Also, 25-hydroxy vitamin D (Vit-D) and iPTH have been observed to be determinants of muscle wasting known as sarcopenia. Fetuin A (FetA), a systemic calcification inhibitor, involves in the development of diastolic heart failure. Hence, we hypothesized that the interplay among FetA, Vit-D and iPTH may contribute to sarcopenic LVH among the elders. We analyzed a database from the Tianliao Old People study with 541 elders (?65 years) in a Taiwan's suburban community. After excluding patients with renal function impairment, 120/449 (26.7%) patients were diagnosed with sarcopenia. Sarcopenic patients had lower serum Vit-D levels but higher FetA as well as iPTH. Notably, sarcopenic patients with LVH had significantly lower FetA and higher iPTH levels. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, only the increase in iPTH was independently associated with sarcopenic LVH (Odds ratio: 1.05; confidence interval: 1.03-1.08, p?=?0.005). Using iPTH >52.3?ng/l as a cutoff point, the sensitivity and specificity was 66% and 84%, respectively. In conclusion, FetA, Vit-D, and iPTH levels were all associated with sarcopenia in this geriatric population. Among them, iPTH specifically indicates patients with sarcopenic LVH.

Project description:Rationale & objectiveManagement of chronic kidney disease mineral and bone disorder requires parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentrations. "Biointact" PTH immunoassays detect "whole" PTH (wPTH), whereas "intact" immunoassays measure PTH plus PTH fragments (iPTH). We aimed to determine whether longitudinal changes in PTH concentrations can be evaluated using biointact and intact immunoassays alike.Study designOpen noninterventional longitudinal cohort study.Setting & participantsPTH concentrations were measured quarterly up to 5 times in 102 hemodialysis patients.Predictors & tests comparedAge, sex, phosphate levels, and others as clinical predictors for PTH trend. Tests compared were iPTH immunoassays from Siemens and Roche and wPTH immunoassays from Roche and DiaSorin.OutcomesPTH concentration trend; regression equations; test bias.Analytical approachPredictive regression-to-the-mean model for PTH slope; Bland-Altman plots, Passing-Bablok regression, and reference change values for test comparisons.ResultswPTH concentrations were similar with both immunoassays (wPTH-Roche = 11.7 + 0.97 × wPTH-DiaSorin, r = 0.99; mean ± 1.96 SD bias, 8.2 ± 43.3 pg/mL [17.5% ± 40.9%], by Bland-Altman plots). iPTH-Siemens concentrations were higher than iPTH-Roche concentrations (iPTH-Siemens = -5.4 + 1.33 × iPTH-Roche, r = 0.99; mean ± 1.96 SD bias, 84.0 ± 180.2 pg/mL [21.1% ± 29.8%], by Bland-Altman plots). iPTH-Roche and iPTH-Siemens concentrations were 2- and 2.5-fold higher than wPTH concentrations, respectively. Full agreement among all 4 immunoassays in detecting both significant and insignificant changes in PTH concentrations, upward or downward from one quarter to the next, was reached in 87% of consecutive measurements. In a predictive model, baseline PTH concentrations > 199 pg/mL (wPTH-Roche), 204 pg/mL (wPTH-DiaSorin), 386 pg/mL (iPTH-Roche), and 417 pg/mL (iPTH-Siemens) correctly predicted declining PTH concentration trend in 62% to 68% of patients, but age, sex, hemodialysis vintage, and calcium and phosphate levels were no significant predictors.LimitationsLimited number of immunoassays, only 59 patients attended all quarterly samplings.ConclusionswPTH-Roche and wPTH-DiaSorin concentrations were similar, while iPTH was higher than wPTH concentrations. The iPTH-Siemens immunoassay is either higher calibrated or detects more fragments than iPTH-Roche. However, longitudinal PTH concentration changes largely coincided with all tested immunoassays.

Project description:Increases in 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations are shown to improve strength in adults; however, data in pediatric populations are scant and equivocal. In this ancillary study of a larger-scale, multi-sited, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled vitamin D intervention in US children and adolescents, we examined the associations between changes in vitamin D metabolites and changes in muscle mass, strength, and composition after 12 weeks of vitamin D3 supplementation. Healthy male and female, black and white children and adolescents between the ages of 9 and 13 years from two US states (Georgia 34°N and Indiana 40°N) were enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to receive an oral vitamin D3 dose of 0, 400, 1000, 2000, or 4000 IU/d for 12 weeks between the winter months of 2009 to 2011 (N = 324). Analyses of covariance, partial correlations, and regression analyses of baseline and 12-week changes (post-baseline) in vitamin D metabolites (serum 25(OH)D, 1,25(OH)2 D, intact parathyroid hormone [iPTH]), and outcomes of muscle mass, strength, and composition (total body fat-free soft tissue [FFST], handgrip strength, forearm and calf muscle cross-sectional area [MCSA], muscle density, and intermuscular adipose tissue [IMAT]) were assessed. Serum 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2 D, but not iPTH, increased over time, as did fat mass, FFST, forearm and calf MCSA, forearm IMAT, and handgrip strength (p < 0.05). Vitamin D metabolites were not associated with muscle strength at baseline nor after the 12-week intervention. Changes in serum 25(OH)D correlated with decreases in forearm IMAT, whereas changes in serum iPTH predicted increases in forearm and calf MCSA and IMAT (p < 0.05). Overall, increases in 25(OH)D did not influence muscle mass or strength in vitamin D-sufficient children and adolescents; however, the role of iPTH on muscle composition in this population is unknown and warrants further investigation. © 2018 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.
