Abstract
Purposes of Review
With chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression, secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) and mineral and bone metabolism disease (MBD) almost inevitably develop and result in renal osteodystrophy and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Together with active vitamin D, calcimimetics are the main therapy for sHPT in CKD. This review provides an overview of the therapeutic effects of oral cinacalcet and intravenous etelcalcetide on CKD-MBD and vascular disease, with a focus on pediatric dialysis patients.
Recent Findings
Randomized controlled trials in adults and children demonstrate efficient lowering of parathyroid hormone (PTH) by the calcimimetics together with a reduction in serum calcium and phosphate when combined with low-dose active vitamin D, while therapy with active vitamin D analogs alone increases serum calcium and phosphate. Cinacalcet and etelcalcetide both improve bone formation and correct adynamic bone, i.e., have a direct bone anabolic effect. They decrease serum calciprotein particles, which are involved in endothelial dysfunction, atherogenesis, and vascular calcification. Clinical trials in adults suggest a modest slowing of the progression of cardiovascular calcification with cinacalcet.
Summary
Calcimimetic agents represent a major pharmacological tool for improved control of CKD-MBD, by efficiently counteracting sHPT and allowing for better control of calcium/phosphate and bone homeostasis. Albeit definite evidence is lacking, the beneficial effects of calcimimetics on CVD are promising. Routine use of cinacalcet has been suggested in children.
