Abstract
Purpose of review: To present race and ethnicity as evidence of the need for precision medicine in renal osteodystrophy.
Recent findings: Previously described racial-ethnic differences in bone persist in recent data on fracture risk in the healthy and CKD populations. These differences have historically been noted between Black and White participants, but recent data suggests racial-ethnic differences in bone are more intricate than previously recognized. A reflection on skeletal differences within the general, non-CKD population, provides a context to better understand skeletal differences by race within CKD. Despite numerous studies demonstrating racial differences in skeletal microarchitecture, fracture risk and skeletal biomarkers, further evidence is needed to pinpoint the etiology of racial differences and to allow precision treatment that reflects the individual patient, regardless of race. In the end, race is currently our most saliant example of the need for a precision medicine approach to the treatment of renal osteodystrophy.
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of osteoporosis.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as current and future therapeutics, epidemiology and pathophysiology, and evaluation and management. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
