Abstract

Aim. To clarify the mechanisms of the effect of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and sclerostin on vascular calcification and the state of the cardiovascular system in chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Materials and methods. A total of 110 patients aged 18 to 65 years with CKD stages 3–5D were examined. OPG, sclerostin, intact parathyroid hormone, and serum troponin I were determined using the commercial "Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay Kit for Sclerostin" from Cloude-Clone Corp. (USA) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Results. An increase in sclerostin and OPG levels was revealed, which significantly correlated with a decrease in glomerular filtration rate, as well as an increase in left ventricle myocardial mass index and peak systolic blood flow in the aortic arch.

Conclusion. Changes in the regulation of bone-mineral metabolism, in which the proteins inhibitors of bone metabolism, OPG and sclerostin, as well as the interactive interaction between the vascular and skeletal systems, play a decisive role in the development of lesions of the cardiovascular system caused by vascular calcification in CKD.
