Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the serum concentration of RANKL/OPG system and lipids metabolism parameters in children with different stages of nephrotic syndrome (NS). Material and methods: Twenty two children with NS in remission aged from 6.0 to 17 years mean age 10.9 ± 4.0; 12 treated with glucocorticoid and vitamin D (group I), 10 without treatment (group II) were involved into the study. The control group consisted of 16 healthy children, aged from 1.9 to 17.8 years, mean age 10.5 ± 5.0 years. In the study groups serum concentrations of OPG, RANKL, calcium, phosphorus, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, albumin, creatinine, 25OH D3, and 1,25(OH)2D3 were measured. Results: The concentration of OPG in children with NS (groups I and II) was significantly lower compared to control group (from 0.8 to 4.9 median 1.65; from 0.5 to 3.7 median 1.40; from 1.1 to 4.9 median 3.05 respectively, p < 0.01). There were no significant differences between serum concentrations of RANKL in groups I, II and control group. In the study groups the significant negative correlation was found between concentrations of OPG and HDLcholesterol level (r = −0.63, p < 0.05). There was no significant correlation between OPG, RANKL and other studied parameters. Conclusion: Plasma OPG may be considered as a new biomarker of lipid abnormalities. doi:10.1016/j.bone.2009.04.121

described as markers of bone metabolism. Therefore, we aimed to describe the concentration of these markers during adolescence in male and female Spanish adolescents. Methods: Blood samples were obtained in 117 Spanish adolescents (53 males and 64 females), aged 12.5–17.5 years, within the framework of the HELENA study. Serum osteocalcin, PINP and beta crosslaps concentrations were determined by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay “ECLIA” by Elecsys 2010 analyzer. Subjects were categorized by age and Tanner stage, in four and three categories, respectively. One-way ANOVA was carried out to determine differences between age and/or Tanner groups. Independent Samples TTest was applied to determine gender differences. Results: PINP decreased with age in both males and females (p < 0.05). Males had significantly higher concentration of osteocalcin, PINP and beta crosslaps compared with females in all age categories (p < 0.05) except in the ranges 15–15.99 years and 16– 17.5 years (beta crosslaps and PINP, respectively). When the sample was categorized by Tanner stage (Table 1), osteocalcin, PINP and beta crosslap concentrations decreased with maturation in males, while only PINP decreased with maturation in females. Males had significantly higher concentration than females for beta crosslaps at all Tanner stages and osteocalcin and PINP for Tanner 5. Table 1 Bone markers concentration according to Tanner stage.
