    Abstract Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) present a higher risk of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality compared with the general population. While there are several well-established traditional CV risk factors, few studies have addressed novel potential risk factors such as α-Klotho, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and lean mass.
    Methods: This was an observational, prospective, single-center, cohort study that included prevalent hemodialysis (online hemodiafiltration) adult patients. By univariate logistic regression models, univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models, and Kaplan-Meier analysis, we evaluated the association between the levels of α-Klotho, ADMA and lean mass, with the risk of peripheral vascular disease (PVD), CV events and all-cause mortality in these patients.
    Results: A total of 200 HD patients was included. We found that increased levels of log-α-Klotho were significantly associated with decreased odds of both PVD [odds ratio (OR) 0.521, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.270-0.954,
    Conclusions: Novel long-term clinical associations were generated that support α-Klotho and lean mass as novel CV risk factors in hemodialysis patients.

    Abstract Introduction: There is scarce clinical experience with etelcalcetide in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism uncontrolled with cinacalcet. The effect of etelcalcetide on serum sclerostin levels remains to be clarified.
    Materials and methods: Prospective cohort study in prevalent hemodialysis patients with uncontrolled sHPT under cinacalcet for at least 3 months, mean parathyroid hormone (PTH)>800pg/mL and calcium (Ca)>8.3mg/dL. Etelcalcetide 5mg IV/HD was initiated after cinacalcet washout. Levels of PTH, Ca, and phosphorus (Pi) followed monthly for 6 months. Plasma sclerostin levels measured before etelcalcetide treatment and after 6 months.
    Results: Thirty-four patients were enrolled, 19 (55.9%) male gender. Mean age 60.7 (± 12.3) years; median time on HD 82.5 (7-296) months and median cinacalcet dose was 180mg/week (Interquartile Range: 180-270). Serum Ca, Pi and PTH levels showed a significant reduction after etelcalcetide treatment from 8.8mg/dL, 5.4mg/dL and 1005pg/mL to 8.1mg/dL (p=0.08), 4.9mg/dL (p=0.01) and 702pg/mL (p<0.001), respectively. Median etelcalcetide dose remained at 5mg/HD. Plasma sclerostin concentration increased from 35.66pmol/L (IQR11.94-54.58) to 71.05pmol/L (IQR54.43-84.91) (p<0.0001).
    Conclusion: Etelcalcetide improved sHPT control in this group of patients, previously under cinacalcet treatment, and significantly increased plasma sclerostin concentration. The impact of etelcalcetide treatment on sclerostin levels is a novel finding.

    Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) commonly evolves with disturbances in mineral and bone metabolism, currently defined as CKD-MBD. Management strategies have progressed over the years, but our knowledge regarding evaluation and treatment is still sparse. Herein, we describe a rare case of a hemodialysis patient with apparently fairly controlled hyperparathyroidism (HPTH), who developed multiple symptomatic brown tumors involving the scull, mandible, vertebrae, pelvis, and metacarpus. Parathyroidectomy allowed complete resolution of the bone lesions preventing disastrous consequences.
