Abstract
Young adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) frequently develop bone disease. One suggested aetiological factor is suboptimal vitamin K status with impaired carboxylation of osteocalcin and abnormal bone formation. We measured bone mineralization and turnover in thirty-two 8-12 year old CF patients (14 boys) using Dual Energy X-ray absorptiometry (whole body (WB) and lumbar spine (LS)), 25-OH Vitamin D, PTH and markers of bone formation (plasma osteocalcin, N-terminal pro-peptide of type 1 collagen (P1NP)), plus an indirect measure of vitamin K status, undercarboxylated osteocalcin (uc-OC). LS bone mineral density (BMD) standard deviation (SD) scores were < -1.0 in 20% of subjects. Size-adjusted LS and WB bone mass was normal. Compared to reference data, % uc-OC was high and P1NP low. LS bone mass was predicted by % uc-OC but not other markers (0.4% decrease in size-adjusted LSBMC (p=0.05); 0.04 SD decrease in LSBMAD (p=0.04) per 1% increase in uc-OC). Markers suggestive of sub-optimal vitamin K status and low bone formation were present despite normal size-adjusted bone mass. The association between LSBMC and % uc-OC is consistent with the hypothesis that sub-optimal vitamin K status is a risk factor for CF bone disease. This should...Continue Reading
