Background

Few studies have evaluated the association between incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) and related complications, especially in elderly population. We attempted to verify the association between GFR and concurrent CKD complications and elucidate the temporal relationship between incident CKD and new CKD complications in a community-based prospective elderly cohort.

Method

We analyzed the available data from 984 participants in the Korean Longitudinal Study on Health and Aging. Participants were categorized into 6 groups according to eGFR at baseline examination (≥90, 75–89, 60–74, 45–59, 30–44, and <30 ml/min/1.73 m2).

Result

The mean age of study population was 76 ± 9.1 years and mean eGFR was 72.3 ± 17.0 ml/min/1.73 m2. Compared to eGFR group 1, the odds ratio (OR) for hypertension was 2.363 (95% CI, 1.299-4.298) in group 4, 5.191 (2.074-12.995) in group 5, and 13.675 (1.611-115.806) in group 6; for anemia, 7.842 (2.265-27.153) in group 5 and 13.019 (2.920-58.047) in group 6; for acidosis, 69.580 (6.770-715.147) in group 6; and for hyperkalemia, 19.177 (1.798-204.474) in group 6. Over a 5-year observational period, CKD developed in 34 (9.6%) among 354 participants with GFR ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 at basal examination. The estimated mean number of new complications according to analysis of co-variance was 0.52 (95% CI, 0.35–0.68) in subjects with incident CKD and 0.24 (0.19–0.29) in subjects without CKD (p = 0.002). Subjects with incident CKD had a 2.792-fold higher risk of developing new CKD complications. A GFR level of 52.4 ml/min/1.73 m2 (p = 0.032) predicted the development of a new CKD complication with a 90% sensitivity.

Conclusion

In an elderly prospective cohort, CKD diagnosed by current criteria is related to an increase in the number of concurrent CKD complications and the development of new CKD complications.  相似文献

Defining chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the subject of intense debate in the current nephrology literature. The debate concerns the threshold value of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) used to make the diagnosis of CKD. Current recommendations argue that a universal threshold of 60 mL/min/1.73m2 should be used. This threshold has been defended by epidemiological studies showing that the risk of mortality or end-stage renal disease increases with an eGFR below 60 mL/min/1.73m2. However, a universal threshold does not take into account the physiologic decline in GFR with ageing nor does it account for the risk of mortality and end-stage renal disease being trivial with isolated eGFR levels just below 60 mL/min/1.73m2 in older subjects and significantly increased with eGFR levels just above 60 mL/min/1.73m2 among younger patients. Overestimation of the CKD prevalence in the elderly (medicalisation of senescence) and underestimation of CKD (potentially from treatable primary nephrologic diseases) in younger patients is of primary concern. An age-calibrated definition of CKD has been proposed to distinguish age-related from disease-related changes in eGFR. For patients younger than 40 years, CKD is defined by eGFR below 75 mL/min/1.73m2. For patients with ages between 40 and 65 years, CKD is defined by 60 mL/min/1.73m2. For subjects older than 65 years without albuminuria or proteinuria, CKD is defined by eGFR below 45 mL/min/1.73m2.  相似文献

Background

Impaired renal function causes dyslipidemia that contributes to elevated cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a regulator of the LDL receptor and plasma cholesterol concentrations. Its relationship to kidney function and cardiovascular events in patients with reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has not been explored.

Methods

Lipid parameters including PCSK9 were measured in two independent cohorts. CARE FOR HOMe (Cardiovascular and Renal Outcome in CKD 2–4 Patients—The Forth Homburg evaluation) enrolled 443 patients with reduced GFR (between 90 and 15 ml/min/1.73 m2) referred for nephrological care that were prospectively followed for the occurrence of a composite cardiovascular endpoint. As a replication cohort, PCSK9 was quantitated in 1450 patients with GFR between 90 and 15 ml/min/1.73 m2 enrolled in the Ludwigshafen Risk and Cardiovascular Health Study (LURIC) that were prospectively followed for cardiovascular deaths.

Results

PCSK9 concentrations did not correlate with baseline GFR (CARE FOR HOMe: r = -0.034; p = 0.479; LURIC: r = -0.017; p = 0.512). 91 patients in CARE FOR HOMe and 335 patients in LURIC reached an endpoint during a median follow-up of 3.0 [1.8–4.1] years and 10.0 [7.3–10.6] years, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analyses showed that PCSK9 concentrations did not predict cardiovascular events in either cohort [CARE FOR HOMe (p = 0.622); LURIC (p = 0.729)]. Sensitivity analyses according to statin intake yielded similar results.

Conclusion

In two well characterized independent cohort studies, PCSK9 plasma levels did not correlate with kidney function. Furthermore, PCSK9 plasma concentrations were not associated with cardiovascular events in patients with reduced renal function.  相似文献

Obese subjects with the metabolic syndrome (MS+) are more prone to microvascular complications than obese subjects without the metabolic syndrome (MS?). Excessive vascular nitric oxide (NO) production has been demonstrated in MS+ compared to MS?, perhaps driven by increased inflammation or oxidative stress. We tested whether in MS+, folic acid (FA) treatment could normalize NO synthase (NOS)‐dependence of vascular tone in the retina and kidney. MS+ (n = 49) and MS? (n = 26) subjects were included in a randomized, double‐blind, crossover trial. After 4‐weeks' treatment with placebo or FA (5 mg/day), several cytokines (C‐reactive protein (CRP), interleukin‐1β, adiponectin), and markers of oxidative stress (glutathione/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) ratio, total antioxidant capacity (TAC)) were determined. NOS‐dependence of retinal and renal vascular tone was assessed by retinal scanning laser Doppler flowmetry and renal clearance technique, respectively. FA had no effect on cytokine levels, but increased GSH/GSSG ratio overall (36 ± 76 vs. 102 ± 200, P = 0.04), indicative of a reduction in oxidative stress. In MS+, treatment with FA reduced NOS‐dependence of retinal and renal vascular tone compared to placebo (P = 0.03 and P = 0.04, respectively). FA had no effect in MS?. After treatment with FA, NOS‐dependence of retinal and renal vascular tone was similar between MS+ and MS?. Retinal and renal vascular tone in MS+ subjects is characterized by increased dependence on NOS. NOS‐dependence in MS+ could be corrected by FA treatment to levels not dissimilar in MS?, and this was associated with a reduction in oxidative stress. Future trials should test whether these effects translate into a reduction of microvascular complications.  相似文献

Background

This study was aimed to examine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the association between MS and its components with CKD in Korea.

Methods

We excluded diabetes to appreciate the real impact of MS and performed a cross-sectional study using the general health screening data of 10,253,085 (48.86±13.83 years, men 56.18%) participants (age, ≥20 years) from the Korean National Health Screening 2011. CKD was defined as dipstick proteinuria ≥1 or an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 ml/min/1.73 m2.

Results

The prevalence of CKD was 6.15% (men, 5.37%; women, 7.15%). Further, 22.25% study population had MS (abdominal obesity, 27.98%; hypertriglyceridemia, 30.09%; low high-density cholesterol levels, 19.74%; high blood pressure, 43.45%; and high fasting glucose levels, 30.44%). Multivariate-adjusted analysis indicated that proteinuria risk increased in participants with MS (odds ratio [OR] 1.884, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.867–1.902, P<0.001). The presence of MS was associated with eGFR<60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (OR 1.364, 95% CI 1.355–1.373, P<0.001). MS individual components were also associated with an increased CKD risk. The strength of association between MS and the development of CKD increase as the number of components increased from 1 to 5. In sub-analysis by men and women, MS and its each components were a significant determinant for CKD.

Conclusions

MS and its individual components can predict the risk of prevalent CKD for men and women.  相似文献

The objective of the study was to examine the association between a functional 4 bp proinsulin gene insertion polymorphism (IVS‐69), fasting insulin concentrations, and body composition in black South African women. Body composition, body fat distribution, fasting glucose and insulin concentrations, and IVS‐69 genotype were measured in 115 normal‐weight (BMI <25 kg/m2) and 138 obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) premenopausal women. The frequency of the insertion allele was significantly higher in the class 2 obese (BMI ≥35kg/m2) compared with the normal‐weight group (P = 0.029). Obese subjects with the insertion allele had greater fat mass (42.3 ± 0.9 vs. 38.9 ± 0.9 kg, P = 0.034) and fat‐free soft tissue mass (47.4 ± 0.6 vs. 45.1 ± 0.6 kg, P = 0.014), and more abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT, 595 ± 17 vs. 531 ± 17 cm2, P = 0.025) but not visceral fat (P = 0.739), than obese homozygotes for the wild‐type allele. Only SAT was greater in normal‐weight subjects with the insertion allele (P = 0.048). There were no differences in fasting insulin or glucose levels between subjects with the insertion allele or homozygotes for the wild‐type allele in the normal‐weight or obese groups. In conclusion, the 4 bp proinsulin gene insertion allele is associated with extreme obesity, reflected by greater fat‐free soft tissue mass and fat mass, particularly SAT, in obese black South African women.  相似文献

Dietary alkali slows GFR decline in humans with a moderately reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) despite the absence of metabolic acidosis. Similarly, dietary alkali slows GFR decline in animals with 2/3 nephrectomy (Nx), a chronic kidney disease (CKD) model without metabolic acidosis in which GFR decline is mediated by acid (H(+)) retention through endothelin (ET) and mineralocorticoid receptors. To gain insight as to whether this mechanism might mediate GFR decline in humans, we explored whether macroalbuminuric subjects with moderately reduced (CKD stage 2 = 60-90 ml/min; CKD 2) compared with normal estimated GFR (> 90 ml/min; CKD 1), each without metabolic acidosis, have H(+) retention that increases plasma levels of ET-1 and aldosterone. Baseline plasma ET and aldosterone concentrations were each higher in CKD 2 than CKD 1. Baseline dietary H(+) and urine net acid excretion (NAE) were not different between groups, but an acute oral NaHCO? bolus reduced urine NAE less (i.e., postbolus urine NAE was higher) in CKD 2 than CKD 1, consistent with greater H(+) retention in CKD 2 subjects. Thirty days of oral NaHCO? reduced H(+) retention in CKD 2 but not CKD 1 subjects and reduced plasma ET and aldosterone in both groups but to levels that remained higher in CKD 2 for each. Subjects with CKD stage 2 eGFR and no metabolic acidosis nevertheless have H(+) retention that increases plasma ET and aldosterone levels, factors that might mediate subsequent GFR decline and other untoward vascular effects.  相似文献

Background

CKD, an independent risk factor for CV disease, increases mortality in T2DM. Treating modifiable CV risk factors decreases mortality in diabetics with microalbuminuria, but the role of early CV prevention in diabetics with mild CKD by GFR criteria alone remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to probe whether T2DM patients with mild GFR impairment have atherogenic lipid profiles compared to diabetic counterparts with normal renal function.

Methods

In the Penn Diabetes Heart Study (PDHS), a single-center observational cohort of T2DM patients without clinical CVD, cross-sectional analyses were performed for directly measured lipid fractions in 1852 subjects with eGFR>60 mL/min/1.73 m2 determined by the CKD-EPI equation (n = 1852). Unadjusted and multivariable analyses of eGFR association with log-transformed lipid parameters in incremental linear and logistic regression models (with eGFR 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 as a cut-point) were performed.

Results

Mild GFR impairment (eGFR 60–90 mL/min/1.73 m2, median urinary ACR 5.25 mg/g) was associated with higher log-transformed Lp(a) values (OR 1.17, p = 0.005) and with clinically atherogenic Lp(a) levels above 30 mg/dL (OR 1.35, p = 0.013) even after full adjustment for demographics, medications, metabolic parameters, and albuminuria. Logistic regression demonstrated a trend towards significance between worse kidney function and apoB (p = 0.17) as well as apoC-III (p = 0.067) in the fully adjusted model.

Conclusions

Elevated Lp(a) levels have a robust association with mild GFR impairment in type 2 diabetics independent of race, insulin resistance, and albuminuria.  相似文献

Background

Accurate evaluation of glomerular filtration rates (GFRs) is of critical importance in clinical practice. A previous study showed that models based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) could achieve a better performance than traditional equations. However, large-sample cross-sectional surveys have not resolved questions about ANN performance.

Methods

A total of 1,180 patients that had chronic kidney disease (CKD) were enrolled in the development data set, the internal validation data set and the external validation data set. Additional 222 patients that were admitted to two independent institutions were externally validated. Several ANNs were constructed and finally a Back Propagation network optimized by a genetic algorithm (GABP network) was chosen as a superior model, which included six input variables; i.e., serum creatinine, serum urea nitrogen, age, height, weight and gender, and estimated GFR as the one output variable. Performance was then compared with the Cockcroft-Gault equation, the MDRD equations and the CKD-EPI equation.

Results

In the external validation data set, Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated that the precision of the six-variable GABP network was the highest among all of the estimation models; i.e., 46.7 ml/min/1.73 m2 vs. a range from 71.3 to 101.7 ml/min/1.73 m2, allowing improvement in accuracy (15% accuracy, 49.0%; 30% accuracy, 75.1%; 50% accuracy, 90.5% [P<0.001 for all]) and CKD stage classification (misclassification rate of CKD stage, 32.4% vs. a range from 47.3% to 53.3% [P<0.001 for all]). Furthermore, in the additional external validation data set, precision and accuracy were improved by the six-variable GABP network.

Conclusions

A new ANN model (the six-variable GABP network) for CKD patients was developed that could provide a simple, more accurate and reliable means for the estimation of GFR and stage of CKD than traditional equations. Further validations are needed to assess the ability of the ANN model in diverse populations.  相似文献

Objective:

We sought to investigate the association of the EAT with CMR parameters of ventricular remodelling and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in patients with non‐ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).

Design and Methods:

One hundred and fifty subjects (112 consecutive patients with DCM and 48 healthy controls) underwent CMR examination. Function, volumes, dimensions, the LV remodelling index (LVRI), the presence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and the amount of EAT were assessed.

Results:

Compared to healthy controls, patients with DCM revealed a significantly reduced indexed EAT mass (31.7 ± 5.6 g/m2 vs 24.0 ± 7.5 g/m2, p<0.0001). There was no difference in the EAT mass between DCM patients with moderate and severe LV dysfunction (23.5 ± 9.8 g/m2 vs 24.2 ± 6.6 g/m2, P = 0.7). Linear regression analysis in DCM patients showed that with increasing LV end‐diastolic mass index (LV‐EDMI) (r = 0.417, P < 0.0001), increasing LV end‐diastolic volume index (r = 0.251, P = 0.01) and increasing LV end‐diastolic diameter (r = 0.220, P = 0.02), there was also a significantly increased amount of EAT mass. However, there was no correlation between the EAT and the LV ejection fraction (r = 0.0085, P = 0.37), right ventricular ejection fraction (r = 0.049, P = 0.6), LVRI (r = 0.116, P = 0.2) and the extent of LGE % (r = 0.189, P = 0.1). Among the healthy controls, the amount of EAT only correlated with increasing age (r = 0.461, P = 0.001), BMI (r = 0.426, P = 0.003) and LV‐EDMI (r = 0.346, P = 0.02).

Conclusion:

In patients with DCM the amount of EAT is decreased compared to healthy controls irrespective of LV function impairment. However, an increase in LV mass and volumes is associated with a significantly increase in EAT in patients with DCM.  相似文献

Background: Increased visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a risk factor for an unfavorable cardio‐metabolic profile and fatty liver. Individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) can be associated with metabolic syndrome (MS) and higher visceral fat. However, the potential link between cardiac adiposity, emerging index of visceral adiposity, and fatty liver is still unexplored. Objective: To evaluate whether echocardiographic epicardial adipose tissue, index of cardiac adiposity, could be related to serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activity, surrogate markers of fatty liver, in HIV‐infected patients with (HIV+MS+) and without HAART‐associated MS (HIV+MS‐). Methods and Procedures: This was a cross‐sectional observational study on 57 HIV+MS+ patients, 52 HIV+MS? and 57 HIV‐negative subjects with MS (HIV?MS+), as control group. Epicardial fat thickness and intra‐abdominal VAT were obtained by echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), respectively. Serum ALT and AST activity, plasma adiponectin levels, and MS biochemical parameters were measured. Results: Echocardiographic epicardial fat thickness was correlated with MRI‐VAT (r = 0.83, P < 0.01), AST/ALT ratio (r = 0.77, P < 0.01), ALT (r = 0.58, P < 0.01), AST (r = 0.56, P < 0.01), and adiponectin (r = ?0.45, P < 0.01) in HIV+MS+. MRI‐VAT and AST/ALT ratio were the best correlates of epicardial fat thickness (r 2 = 0.45, P < 0.01). Discussion: This study shows for the first time a clear relationship of epicardial fat, index of cardiac and visceral adiposity, and serum ALT and AST activity, markers of fatty liver, in subjects with increased visceral adiposity and cardio‐metabolic risk. This correlation seems to be independent of overall adiposity and rather function of excess visceral adiposity.  相似文献

Objective: To determine whether adipocyte differentiation‐related protein (ADRP), a lipid droplet—associated protein that binds to and sequesters intracellular fatty acids, is 1) expressed in human skeletal muscle and 2) differentially regulated in human skeletal muscle obtained from obese non‐diabetic (OND) and obese diabetic (OD) subjects. Research Methods and Procedures: Ten OND subjects and 15 OD subjects underwent a weight loss or pharmacological intervention program to improve insulin sensitivity. Anthropometric data, hemoglobin A1C, fasting glucose, lipids, and glucose disposal rate were determined at baseline and at completion of studies. Biopsies of the vastus lateralis muscle (SkM) were obtained in the fasting state from OND and OD subjects. Protein expression was determined by Western blotting. Results: ADRP was highly expressed in SkM from OND (4.4 ± 1.54 AU/10 μg, protein, n = 10) and OD (5.02 ± 1.33 AU/10 μg, n = 12) subjects. OND subjects undergoing weight loss had decreased triglyceride levels and improved insulin action. SkM ADRP content increased with weight loss from 5.14 ± 2.15 AU/10 μg to 9.92 ± 1.57 AU/10 μg (p < 0.025). OD subjects were treated with either troglitazone or metformin, together with glyburide, for 3 to 4 months. Both treatments attained similar levels of glycemic control. OD subjects with lower baseline ADRP content (2.85 ± 1.07 AU/10 μg, n = 6) displayed up‐regulation of ADRP expression (to 9.27 ± 2.76 AU/10 μg, p < 0.025). Discussion: ADRP is the predominant lipid droplet—associated protein in SkM, and low ADRP expression is up‐regulated in circumstances of improved glucose tolerance. Up‐regulation of ADRP may act to sequester fatty acids as triglycerides in discrete lipid droplets that could protect muscle from the detrimental effects of fatty acids on insulin action and glucose tolerance.  相似文献

Limited prospective data are available on the importance of estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and proteinuria in the prediction of all-cause mortality (ACM) in community-based elderly populations. We examined the relationship between GFR or proteinuria and ACM in 949 randomly selected community-dwelling elderly subjects (aged ≥65 years) over a 5-year period. A spot urine sample was used to measure proteinuria by the dipstick test, and GFR was estimated using the chronic kidney disease-epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation. Information about mortality and causes of death was collected by direct enquiry with the subjects and from the national mortality data. Compared to subjects without proteinuria, those with proteinuria of grade ≥1+ had a 1.725-fold (1.134–2.625) higher risk of ACM. Compared to subjects with GFR ≥90 ml/min/1.73 m2, those with GFR<45 ml/min/1.73 m2 had a 2.357 -fold (1.170–4.750) higher risk for ACM. Among the 403 subjects included in the analysis of renal progression, the annual rate of GFR change during follow-up period was −0.52±2.35 ml/min/1.73 m2/year. The renal progression rate was 7.315-fold (1.841–29.071) higher in subjects with GFR<60 ml/min/1.73 m2 than in those with GFR ≥60 ml/min/1.73 m2. Among a community-dwelling elderly Korean population, decreased GFR of <45 ml/min/1.73 m2 and proteinuria were independent risk factors for ACM.  相似文献

A high sodium (HS) intake is associated to increased cardiovascular and renal risk, especially in overweight subjects. We hypothesized that abnormal sodium and fluid handling is involved, independent of hypertension or insulin resistance. Therefore, we studied the relation between BMI and sodium‐induced changes in extracellular fluid volume (ECFV; distribution volume of 125I‐iothalamate) in 78 healthy men, not selected for BMI. A total of 78 subjects with a median BMI of 22.5 (range: 19.2–33.9 kg/m2) were studied after 1 week on a low sodium (LS) diet (50 mmol Na+/d) and after 1 week on HS (200 mmol Na+/d). The change from LS to HS resulted in an increase in ECFV of 1.2 ± 1.8 l. Individual changes in ECFV were correlated to BMI (r = 0.361, P < 0.01). Furthermore, in response to HS, a higher BMI was associated to a higher rise in filtered load of sodium (FLNa+ = [Na+] × GFR, r = 0.281, P < 0.05). Thus, a shift to HS leads to a larger rise in ECFV in healthy subjects with higher BMI, associated with an elevated FLNa+ during HS. Although no hypertension occurred in these healthy subjects, our data provide a potential explanation for the interaction of sodium intake and BMI on cardiovascular and renal risk. Exaggerated fluid retention may be an early pathogenic factor in the cardiorenal complications of overweight.  相似文献

Objective: Evaluate the safety and tolerability of beloranib, a fumagillin‐class methionine aminopetidase‐2 (MetAP2) inhibitor, in obese women over 4 weeks. Design and Methods: Thirty‐one obese (mean BMI 38 kg/m2) women were randomized to intravenous 0.1, 0.3, or 0.9 mg/m2 beloranib or placebo twice weekly for 4 weeks (N = 7, 6, 9, and 9). Results: The most frequent AEs were headache, infusion site injury, nausea, and diarrhea. Nausea and infusion site injury occurred more with beloranib than placebo. The most common reason for discontinuation was loss of venous access. There were no clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings. In subjects completing 4 weeks, median weight loss with 0.9 mg/m2 beloranib was ?3.8 kg (95% CI ?5.1, ?0.9; N = 8) versus ?0.6 kg with placebo (?4.5, ?0.1; N = 6). Weight change for 0.1 and 0.3 mg/m2 beloranib was similar to placebo. Beloranib (0.9 mg/m2) was associated with a significant 42 and 18% reduction in triglycerides and LDL‐cholesterol, as well as improvement in C‐reactive protein and reduced sense of hunger. Changes in β‐hydroxybutyrate, adiponectin, leptin, and fibroblast growth factor‐21 were consistent with the putative mechanism of MetAP2 inhibition. Glucose and blood pressure were unchanged. Conclusions: Beloranib treatment was well tolerated and associated with rapid weight loss and improvements in lipids, C‐reactive protein, and adiponectin.  相似文献

Background

Renal impairment is known to be associated with atherosclerosis, which in turn is reported to be positively associated with hemoglobin levels. In addition, renal impairment is known to be associated with a form of anemia known as renal anemia.

Methods

To clarify the associations between renal impairment and anemia, we conducted a cross-sectional study of 1,105 60 to 89-year-old men, who were not taking medication for anemia and were undergoing general health check-ups.

Results

Compared with non-chronic kidney disease, chronic kidney disease (CKD) with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 was found to constitute a significant risk of anemia. However, we noted that this risk was lower for mild renal impairment (60 mL/min/1.73 m2 ≤ GFR <90 mL/min/1.73 m2). Compared with the non-CKD reference group, the classical cardiovascular risk factors adjusted odds ratio (OR) for anemia was 1.81 (1.23 to 2.68) and compared with the normal renal function (GFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2) reference group, the ORs for mild renal impairment and CKD were 0.26 (0.15 to 0.47) and 0.60 (0.33 to 1.09).

Conclusions

Independent from classical cardiovascular risk factors, CKD, which was identified during general health check-ups, appeared to constitute a significant risk of anemia for older Japanese men. For mild renal impairment, however, this association was a reduced risk of anemia and thus possibly a higher risk of atherosclerosis.  相似文献

Alterations in left ventricular mass and geometry vary along with the degree of obesity, but mechanisms underlying such covariation are not clear. In a case–control study, we examined how body composition and fat distribution relate to left ventricular structure and examine how sustained weight loss affects left ventricular mass and geometry. At the 10‐year follow‐up of the Swedish obese subjects (SOS) study cohort, we identified 44 patients with sustained weight losses after bariatric surgery (surgery group) and 44 matched obese control patients who remained weight stable (obese group). We also recruited 44 matched normal weight subjects (lean group). Dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry, computed tomography, and echocardiography were performed to evaluate body composition, fat distribution, and left ventricular structure. BMI was 42.5 kg/m2, 31.5 kg/m2, and 24.4 kg/m2 for the obese, surgery, and lean groups, respectively. Corresponding values for left ventricular mass were 201.4 g, 157.7 g, and 133.9 g (P < 0.001). In multivariate analyses, left ventricular diastolic dimension was predicted by lean body mass (β = 0.03, P < 0.001); left ventricular wall thickness by visceral adipose tissue (β = 0.11, P < 0.001) and systolic blood pressure (β = 0.02, P = 0.019); left ventricular mass by lean body mass (β = 1.23, P < 0.001), total body fat (β = 1.15, P < 0.001) and systolic blood pressure (β = 2.72, P = 0.047); and relative wall thickness by visceral adipose tissue (β = 0.02, P < 0.001). Left ventricular adjustment to body size is dependent on body composition and fat distribution, regardless of blood pressure levels. Obesity is associated with concentric left ventricular remodeling and sustained 10‐year weight loss results in lower cavity size, wall thickness and mass.  相似文献

Objective: The recent Fourth Workshop on the Management of Asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) maintained the threshold of 60 mL/min for decreased renal function, below which surgery is recommended. This study investigated the relationship between different stages of renal insufficiency and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in an updated case series of PHPT patients.Methods: This was a retrospective, cross-sectional study involving 379 consecutive PHPT patients. Biochemical evaluation included total and ionized serum calcium, phosphate, creatinine, immunoreactive intact PTH, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25[OH]D3) levels in the fasting state. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation.Results: Mean CKD-EPI estimated GFR was 81.9 ± 20.3 mL/min/1.73 m2, and median GFR was 84.0 mL/min/1.73 m2 (interquartile range, 26.8 mL/min/1.73 m2). The patients were divided into 5 groups according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes 2012 guidelines: group 1 with normal or increased GFR (>90 mL/min/1.73 m2); group 2 with mild GFR decrease (60 to 89 mL/min/1.73 m2); group 3a with mild to moderate GFR decrease (45 to 59 mL/min/1.73 m2); group 3b with moderate to severe GFR decrease (30 to 44 mL/min/1.73 m2); and group 4 with severe GFR decrease (<30 mL/min/1.73 m2). Among the 5 groups of patients, serum calcium levels were different (P = .025), whereas 25(OH)D3 levels were not (P = .36). PTH levels were comparable across groups 1 through 3a, but they were significantly higher in groups 3b and 4 (P<.0001).Conclusion: In our series of PHPT patients, PTH levels did not rise as a result of renal impairment until GFR decreased below 45 mL/min/1.73 m2.Abbreviations: 25(OH)D3 = 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 CKD-EPI = Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology Collaboration GFR = glomerular filtration rate K/DOQI = National Kidney Foundation Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative KDIGO = Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes MDRD = Modification of Diet in Renal Disease PHPT = primary hyperparathyroidism PTH = parathyroid hormone  相似文献

We analyzed proteomic profiles in monocytes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients and healthy control subjects. Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and silver staining indicated differences in protein pattern. Among the analyzed proteins, superoxide dismutase type 1 (SOD1), which was identified both by MS/MS mass-spectrometry and immunoblotting, was reduced in kidney disease. We characterized SOD1 protein amount, using quantitative in-cell Western assay and immunostaining of 2-DE gel blots, and SOD1 gene expression, using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), in 98 chronic hemodialysis (HD) and 211 CKD patients, and 34 control subjects. Furthermore, we showed that different SOD1 protein species exist in human monocytes. SOD1 protein amount was significantly lower in HD (normalized SOD1 protein, 27.2 ± 2.8) compared to CKD patients (34.3 ± 2.8), or control subjects (48.0 ± 8.6; mean ± SEM; P < 0.05). Analysis of SOD1 immunostaining showed significantly more SOD1 protein in control subjects compared to patients with CKD or HD (P < 0.0001, analysis of main immunoreactive protein spot). SOD1 gene expression was significantly higher in HD (normalized SOD1 gene expression, 17.8 ± 2.3) compared to CKD patients (9.0 ± 0.7), or control subjects (5.5 ± 1.0; P < 0.0001). An increased SOD1 gene expression may indicate increased protein degradation in patients with CKD and compensatory increase of SOD1 gene expression. Taken together, we show reduced SOD1 protein amount in monocytes of CKD, most pronounced in HD patients, accompanied by increased SOD1 gene expression.  相似文献

Objective: The relationship of visceral adiposity with adipocytokines and low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) particle distribution and oxidation in Asian metabolically obese, normal‐weight (MONW) individuals has not been evaluated. We aimed to investigate the association between visceral adiposity and adipocytokines and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in MONW Korean women with normal glucose tolerance. Methods and Procedures: We examined the metabolic characteristics of 135 non‐obese (BMI <25 kg/m2) women aged 25–64 years. Twenty‐five women (BMI <25 kg/m2 and visceral fat adiposity (VFA) ≥100 cm2) were classified as MONW and 25 women (BMI <25 kg/m2 and VFA <100 cm2), pair‐matched for age, weight, height, and menopausal status, as control group. Plasma lipid profiles and adipocytokines were evaluated in these two groups. Results: MONW subjects had higher systolic (P < 0.05) and diastolic blood pressure (P < 0.005) and higher concentrations of triacylglycerol (TG) (P < 0.005), insulin (P < 0.01), and free fatty acid (FFA) (P < 0.05) than control subjects. There was no significant difference between two groups in LDL‐cholesterol (LDL‐C) concentrations; however, MONW subjects had smaller LDL particles (P < 0.01) and higher concentrations of oxidized LDL (ox‐LDL) (P < 0.05) compared with controls. Moreover, MONW subjects had higher concentrations of tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) (P < 0.05), interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) (P < 0.05) and leptin (P < 0.05), and lower plasma adiponectin concentrations (P < 0.05). Higher intake of saturated fat with lower ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to saturated fatty acids (SFA) and lower fiber intake than normal subjects were found in MONW women. Discussion: We found an unfavorable inflammatory profile and a more atherogenic LDL profile in MONW female subjects even in the absence of a known CVD risk factors. Moreover, MONW consumed more saturated fat and less fiber than the control group.  相似文献
