Abstract:
Objective To detect the changes in vertebral marrow fat fraction (MFF) using T2 *-corrected water-fat MRI and to analyze the relationships between MFF with bone biomarkers of non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD).Methods 78 CKD patients were divided into five groups according to the eGFR and underwent water/fat MRI to obtain MFF.The reliability of MFF measurements by two radiologists was assessed with intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC).Serum calcium,phosphorus,alkaline phosphatase,osteocalcin,intact parathyroid hormone and 25(OH)D3 were determined.Results Mean CV for MFF measurements reproducibility was 2.37％.The inter-observer agreement for MFF was excellent (ICC=0.901).The ICC for each intra-observer agreement was excellent (ICC=0.959 and 0.948,respectively).There were statistical differences in MFF among five groups of CKD.Changes of MFF were earlier than those of serum calcium,phosphorus,parathyroid hormone,alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin.MFF was positively correlated with serum phosphorus (r =3.011,P =0.003),parathyroid hormone (r=3.852,P＜0.001),and negatively associated with calcium (r=-2.767,P=0.017),25(OH)D3 (r=6.032,P＜0.001),eGFR (r=-5.104,P＜0.001),respectively.Multivariable regression analysis showed MFF was negatively correlated with 25(OH)D3(Sβ=-0.343)and eGFR(S(S=-0.284,P＜0.001).Conclusion CKD patients had higher marrow fat.T2 *-corrected water fat MRI could serve as a useful tool to quantify marrow fat content for CKD patients.
