Abstract

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a highly prevalent condition with multiple acute and chronic consequences. Survivors of AKI are at risk of AKI-to-chronic kidney disease (CKD) transition, which carries significant morbidity and mortality. One retrospective analysis showed increased risk of bone fracture post-AKI in humans, which was independent of CKD development. While there are several theoretical reasons for late disturbances of bone health post-AKI, no definitive data are available to date. An important question is whether there are bone sequelae from AKI that are independent of CKD, meaning bone disease prior to the onset, or in the absence of CKD - a form of "post-AKI osteopathy."While preclinical studies examining bone health after acute stressors have focused mostly on sepsis models, multiple experimental AKI models are readily available for longitudinal bone health interrogation. Future research should be tailored to define whether AKI is a risk factor, independent of CKD, for bone disease and if present, the time course and type of bone disease. This review summarizes a fraction of the existing data to provide some guidance in future research efforts.
