Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) has a direct impact on patients' quality of life, hospitalization rates and fracture risk. In recent years, osteoblasts and osteoclasts have become central to the pathophysiology of CKD-MBD. Osteoblasts interact with other organs by synthesizing fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) and sclerostin (SOST), making the skeleton an endocrine organ. Therefore, dysregulation of osteoblast differentiation is an important early event in the pathogenesis of CKD. In this paper, we systematically discuss the metabolic pathways of osteoblasts and the mechanisms related to the altered metabolic reprogramming of osteoblasts in the early CKD-MBD pathology. This paper shows that abnormalities in signaling pathways and metabolites such as Wnt/β-catenin, FGF-23, uremic toxins, metabolic acidosis, can alter the metabolic activity of osteoblasts, causing impaired maturation of the osteogenic spectrum, which in turn affects bone remodeling, which will provide a new way of thinking for explaining the pathological changes in renal bone disease and developing clinical treatment options.
