Prevalence, trends and functional impairment associated with reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria among the oldest-old U.S. adults.

ABSTRACT: The prevalence of reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) among U.S. adults aged 80 years and older increased between 1988 to 1994 and 2005 to 2010. Trends in the prevalence of albuminuria over this time period have not been reported in this population.We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of U.S. adults aged 80 years and older in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1988 to 1994 (n = 1020), 1999 to 2004 (n = 995) and 2005 to 2010 (n = 971) to calculate the prevalence of albuminuria (albumin-to-creatinine ratio [ACR] ?30 mg/g) by calendar period. The number of U.S. adults aged 80 years and older with elevated ACR and separately reduced eGFR was calculated by calendar period.Among participants aged 80 years and older, the prevalence of albuminuria was 30.9%, 33.0% and 30.6% in 1988 to 1994, 1999 to 2004 and 2005 to 2010 (P = 0.9). The proportion of U.S. adults aged 80 years and older with both eGFR <45 ml/min/1.73 m and ACR ?30 mg/g increased from 6.8% in 1988 to 1994 to 8.4% and 9.5% in 1999 to 2004 and 2005 to 2010, respectively (P = 0.008). In 1988 to 1994, 1999 to 2004 and 2005 to 2010, there were 1.78 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.29-2.27), 2.35 (95% CI, 1.93-2.78) and 2.74 (95% CI, 2.32-3.16) million U.S. adults aged 80 years older with albuminuria and 2.34 (95% CI, 1.79-2.89), 3.55 (95% CI, 2.96-4.14) and 4.58 (95% CI, 3.87-5.28) million, respectively, with eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73 m.The proportion of U.S. adults aged 80 years and older with an elevated ACR remained relatively stable between 1988 to 1994 and 2005 to 2010. However, due to the growth of the oldest-old, the absolute number with albuminuria increased substantially over the past 2 decades.

Project description:ImportanceChronic kidney disease (low estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] or albuminuria) affects approximately 14% of adults in the US.ObjectiveTo evaluate associations of lower eGFR based on creatinine alone, lower eGFR based on creatinine combined with cystatin C, and more severe albuminuria with adverse kidney outcomes, cardiovascular outcomes, and other health outcomes.Design, setting, and participantsIndividual-participant data meta-analysis of 27 503 140 individuals from 114 global cohorts (eGFR based on creatinine alone) and 720 736 individuals from 20 cohorts (eGFR based on creatinine and cystatin C) and 9 067 753 individuals from 114 cohorts (albuminuria) from 1980 to 2021.ExposuresThe Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration 2021 equations for eGFR based on creatinine alone and eGFR based on creatinine and cystatin C; and albuminuria estimated as urine albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR).Main outcomes and measuresThe risk of kidney failure requiring replacement therapy, all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, acute kidney injury, any hospitalization, coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and peripheral artery disease. The analyses were performed within each cohort and summarized with random-effects meta-analyses.ResultsWithin the population using eGFR based on creatinine alone (mean age, 54 years [SD, 17 years]; 51% were women; mean follow-up time, 4.8 years [SD, 3.3 years]), the mean eGFR was 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 (SD, 22 mL/min/1.73 m2) and the median UACR was 11 mg/g (IQR, 8-16 mg/g). Within the population using eGFR based on creatinine and cystatin C (mean age, 59 years [SD, 12 years]; 53% were women; mean follow-up time, 10.8 years [SD, 4.1 years]), the mean eGFR was 88 mL/min/1.73 m2 (SD, 22 mL/min/1.73 m2) and the median UACR was 9 mg/g (IQR, 6-18 mg/g). Lower eGFR (whether based on creatinine alone or based on creatinine and cystatin C) and higher UACR were each significantly associated with higher risk for each of the 10 adverse outcomes, including those in the mildest categories of chronic kidney disease. For example, among people with a UACR less than 10 mg/g, an eGFR of 45 to 59 mL/min/1.73 m2 based on creatinine alone was associated with significantly higher hospitalization rates compared with an eGFR of 90 to 104 mL/min/1.73 m2 (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.3 [95% CI, 1.2-1.3]; 161 vs 79 events per 1000 person-years; excess absolute risk, 22 events per 1000 person-years [95% CI, 19-25 events per 1000 person-years]).Conclusions and relevanceIn this retrospective analysis of 114 cohorts, lower eGFR based on creatinine alone, lower eGFR based on creatinine and cystatin C, and more severe UACR were each associated with increased rates of 10 adverse outcomes, including adverse kidney outcomes, cardiovascular diseases, and hospitalizations.

Project description:ObjectiveTo assess for the presence of a sex interaction in the associations of estimated glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria with all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and end stage renal disease.DesignRandom effects meta-analysis using pooled individual participant data.Setting46 cohorts from Europe, North and South America, Asia, and Australasia.Participants2,051,158 participants (54% women) from general population cohorts (n=1,861,052), high risk cohorts (n=151,494), and chronic kidney disease cohorts (n=38,612). Eligible cohorts (except chronic kidney disease cohorts) had at least 1000 participants, outcomes of either mortality or end stage renal disease of ≥ 50 events, and baseline measurements of estimated glomerular filtration rate according to the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation (mL/min/1.73 m(2)) and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (mg/g).ResultsRisks of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality were higher in men at all levels of estimated glomerular filtration rate and albumin-creatinine ratio. While higher risk was associated with lower estimated glomerular filtration rate and higher albumin-creatinine ratio in both sexes, the slope of the risk relationship for all-cause mortality and for cardiovascular mortality were steeper in women than in men. Compared with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 95, the adjusted hazard ratio for all-cause mortality at estimated glomerular filtration rate 45 was 1.32 (95% CI 1.08 to 1.61) in women and 1.22 (1.00 to 1.48) in men (P(interaction)<0.01). Compared with a urinary albumin-creatinine ratio of 5, the adjusted hazard ratio for all-cause mortality at urinary albumin-creatinine ratio 30 was 1.69 (1.54 to 1.84) in women and 1.43 (1.31 to 1.57) in men (P(interaction)<0.01). Conversely, there was no evidence of a sex difference in associations of estimated glomerular filtration rate and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio with end stage renal disease risk.ConclusionsBoth sexes face increased risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and end stage renal disease with lower estimated glomerular filtration rates and higher albuminuria. These findings were robust across a large global consortium.

Project description:BackgroundClassification of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and evaluation of prognosis is based on two components: estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR). In multiethnic populations, ethnic-specific discrepancies in both parameters may exist. It is unknown whether variations in CKD risk factors may explain these discrepancies.MethodsWe cross-sectionally analyzed baseline eGFR (CKD-EPI formula) and ACR of 21,421 participants (aged 18-70 years) of the HELIUS cohort who were randomly sampled between 2011 and 2015, stratified by ethnicity, through the municipality register of Amsterdam. Six ethnic groups were distinguished, including participants of Dutch (4539), South-Asian Surinamese (3027), African Surinamese (4114), Ghanaian (2297), Turkish (3576) and Moroccan (3868) descent. Multiple regression analyses to determine ethnic differences were performed, with additional adjustments for age, sex, traditional cardiovascular and renal risk factors, and adjustment for level of education.FindingsMean (SE) eGFR was higher in all ethnic minority groups as compared to Dutch participants (eGFR 94.7 ± 0.3 mL/min/1.73 m2) with age- and sex-adjusted differences ranging from 1.5 ± 0.30 in South-Asian Surinamese to 10.1 ± 0.28 mL/min/1.73 m2 in Moroccan participants. ACR was higher in ethnic minority groups as compared to Dutch participants (ACR 0.64 ± 0.20 mg/mmol), with age- and sex-adjusted differences ranging from 0.46 ± 0.20 in African Surinamese participants to 1.70 ± 0.21 mg/mmol in South-Asian Surinamese participants. Differences in both parameters diminished after multiple adjustments, but remained highly significant.InterpretationBoth eGFR and ACR are higher among ethnic minority groups as compared to individuals of Dutch origin-independent of age, sex, prevalence of traditional cardiovascular and renal risk factors, and parameters of socioeconomic status. Future studies should address the potential uncertainty in predicting CKD and CKD-related complications when using both parameters in ethnically diverse populations. Also, identification of driving factors leading to these discrepancies might contribute to improved population screening for CKD.FundingThe HELIUS study is conducted by the Amsterdam University Medical Center and the Public Health Service of Amsterdam.

Project description:Background and objectivesExposure to particulate matter (PM) <2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5) has been linked to detrimental health effects. This study aimed to describe the relationship between long-term PM2.5 exposure and kidney disease, including eGFR, level of albuminuria, and incident CKD.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsThe study included 10,997 participants from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities cohort who were followed from 1996-1998 through 2016. Monthly mean PM2.5 concentrations (μg/m3) were estimated at geocoded participant addresses using geographic information system-based, spatiotemporal generalized additive mixed models-including geospatial covariates such as land use-and then averaged over the 12-month period preceding participant examination. Covariate-adjusted, cross-sectional associations of PM2.5, baseline eGFR, and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) were estimated using linear regression. PM2.5 and incident CKD (defined as follow-up eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 with ≥25% eGFR decline relative to baseline, CKD-related hospitalization or death based on International Classification of Diseases 9/10 codes, or development of ESKD) associations were estimated using Cox proportional hazards regression. Modeling was stratified by study site, and stratum-specific estimates were combined using random-effects meta-analyses.ResultsBaseline mean participant age was 63 (±6) years and eGFR was 86 (±16) ml/min per 1.73 m2. There was no significant PM2.5-eGFR association at baseline. Each 1-μg/m3 higher annual average PM2.5 was associated with higher UACR after adjusting for demographics, socioeconomic status, and clinical covariates (percentage difference, 6.6%; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 2.6% to 10.7%). Each 1-μg/m3 higher annual average PM2.5 was associated with a significantly higher risk of incident CKD (hazard ratio, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.10).ConclusionsExposure to higher annual average PM2.5 concentrations was associated with a higher level of albuminuria and higher risk for incident CKD in a community-based cohort.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The usefulness of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria for prediction of cardiovascular outcomes is controversial. We aimed to assess the addition of creatinine-based eGFR and albuminuria to traditional risk factors for prediction of cardiovascular risk with a meta-analytic approach. METHODS:We meta-analysed individual-level data for 637 315 individuals without a history of cardiovascular disease from 24 cohorts (median follow-up 4·2-19·0 years) included in the Chronic Kidney Disease Prognosis Consortium. We assessed C statistic difference and reclassification improvement for cardiovascular mortality and fatal and non-fatal cases of coronary heart disease, stroke, and heart failure in a 5 year timeframe, contrasting prediction models for traditional risk factors with and without creatinine-based eGFR, albuminuria (either albumin-to-creatinine ratio [ACR] or semi-quantitative dipstick proteinuria), or both. FINDINGS:The addition of eGFR and ACR significantly improved the discrimination of cardiovascular outcomes beyond traditional risk factors in general populations, but the improvement was greater with ACR than with eGFR, and more evident for cardiovascular mortality (C statistic difference 0·0139 [95% CI 0·0105-0·0174] for ACR and 0·0065 [0·0042-0·0088] for eGFR) and heart failure (0·0196 [0·0108-0·0284] and 0·0109 [0·0059-0·0159]) than for coronary disease (0·0048 [0·0029-0·0067] and 0·0036 [0·0019-0·0054]) and stroke (0·0105 [0·0058-0·0151] and 0·0036 [0·0004-0·0069]). Dipstick proteinuria showed smaller improvement than ACR. The discrimination improvement with eGFR or ACR was especially evident in individuals with diabetes or hypertension, but remained significant with ACR for cardiovascular mortality and heart failure in those without either of these disorders. In individuals with chronic kidney disease, the combination of eGFR and ACR for risk discrimination outperformed most single traditional predictors; the C statistic for cardiovascular mortality fell by 0·0227 (0·0158-0·0296) after omission of eGFR and ACR compared with less than 0·007 for any single modifiable traditional predictor. INTERPRETATION:Creatinine-based eGFR and albuminuria should be taken into account for cardiovascular prediction, especially when these measures are already assessed for clinical purpose or if cardiovascular mortality and heart failure are outcomes of interest. ACR could have particularly broad implications for cardiovascular prediction. In populations with chronic kidney disease, the simultaneous assessment of eGFR and ACR could facilitate improved classification of cardiovascular risk, supporting current guidelines for chronic kidney disease. Our results lend some support to also incorporating eGFR and ACR into assessments of cardiovascular risk in the general population.

Project description:Background and objectivesMarijuana use has become more widely accepted in the United States and has been legalized in many areas. Although it is biologically plausible that marijuana could affect kidney function, epidemiologic data are lacking.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsWe conducted a cohort study among young adults with preserved eGFR (i.e., eGFR?60 ml/min per 1.73 m2) using data from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study. At scheduled examinations occurring every 5 years and starting at study year 10 (calendar years, 1995-1996), cystatin C was collected over a 10-year period, and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio was collected over a 15-year period. We investigated the cross-sectional association between current and cumulative marijuana use (in marijuana-years; one marijuana-year equals 365 days of marijuana use) and eGFR by cystatin C (eGFRcys) at year 10. In longitudinal analyses, we investigated the association between cumulative marijuana use and eGFRcys change and rapid (?3%/year) eGFRcys decline over two 5-year intervals and prevalent albuminuria (urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio ?30 mg/g) over a 15-year period.ResultsPast or current marijuana use was reported by 83% (3131 of 3765) of the cohort, and the mean eGFRcys was 111 ml/min per 1.73 m2 at year 10. Over the following 10 years, 504 had rapid eGFRcys decline, and over the following 15 years, 426 had prevalent albuminuria. Compared with no use, daily current use and ?5 marijuana-years of cumulative use were associated with lower eGFRcys at year 10: -4.5% (95% confidence interval, -8.1 to -0.7%; P=0.02) and -3.0% (95% confidence interval, -5.6 to -0.4%; P=0.03), respectively. Marijuana use was not significantly associated with eGFRcys change, rapid eGFRcys decline, or prevalent albuminuria.ConclusionsAlthough we identified a modest cross-sectional association between higher marijuana exposure and lower eGFRcys among young adults with preserved eGFR, our findings were largely null and did not demonstrate a longitudinal association between marijuana use and eGFRcys change, rapid eGFRcys decline, or prevalent albuminuria.PodcastThis article contains a podcast at https://www.asn-online.org/media/podcast/CJASN/2017_08_24_CJASNPodcast_17_10.mp3.
