Kidney transplantation is the most effective treatment option for most patients with end-stage kidney disease due to reduced mortality, decreased cardiovascular events and increased quality of life compared to patients treated with dialysis. However, kidney transplantation is not devoid of both acute and chronic complications including mineral bone disorders (MBD) which are already present in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) before kidney transplantation. The natural history of MBD after kidney transplantation is variable and new markers are needed to define MBD after kidney transplantation. One of these promising molecules is sclerostin. The main action of sclerostin is to inhibit bone formation and mineralization by blocking osteoblast differentiation and function. In kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), various studies have shown that sclerostin is associated with graft function, bone parameters, vascular calcification, and arterial stiffness although non-uniformly. Furthermore, data for inhibition of sclerostin with monoclonal antibody romosozumab for treatment of osteoporosis is available for general population but not in KTRs which osteoporosis is highly prevalent. In this narrative review, we have summarized the studies investigating the change of sclerostin before and after kidney transplantation, the relationship between sclerostin and laboratory parameters, bone metabolism and vascular calcification in the context of kidney transplantation. We also pointed out the uncertainties, explained the causes of divergent findings and suggest further potential study topics regarding sclerostin in kidney transplantation. |
