Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hemodialysis (HD) patients have a high incidence of bone disease and increased fracture risk, making effective management of their bone health a clinical challenge. Denosumab, a human monoclonal antibody, has been investigated as a therapeutic option in this patient population. In this review, we summarize the current evidence on the efficacy and safety of denosumab in CKD and HD patients. A comprehensive search of the relevant literature was conducted, including randomized controlled trials, observational studies, and meta-analyses. The findings suggest that denosumab reduces the risk of fractures and improves bone mineral density in all stages of CKD. The results of this review support the use of denosumab as a promising option for managing bone disease in CKD and HD patients.
