Normoalbuminuric kidney impairment in patients with T1DM: insights from annals initiative.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We described, in a large sample of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and GFR ≤ 60 mL/min/1.73 m² (with or without albuminuria), the differences in the clinical features associated with the two different chronic kidney disease phenotypes and we investigated, in a subset of patients, the modulating role of albuminuria on kidney disease progression.

Methods

Clinical data of 1395 patients with T1DM were extracted from electronic medical records.

Results

Albuminuria was detected in 676 (48.5%) patients, with the remaining 719 (51.5%) patients having normoalbuminuric renal impairment. Those with albuminuria showed an evident worse cardiovascular risk profile as compared to patients with normoalbuminuria. A subgroup of 582 patients was followed up over a 4-year period. One hundred and twenty five patients (21.5%) showed a loss of eGFR > 30%. The proportion of patients reaching the renal outcome was significantly higher among those with baseline albuminuria as compared to patients with normoalbuminuria (P < 0.0001). At the multivariate logistic analysis microalbuminuria, macroalbuminuria and proliferative retinopathy were the only parameters independently associated to eGFR reduction.

Conclusions

The proportion of T1DM patients with normoalbuminuria renal impairment is high (about 50%). These patients have a slower eGFR decline as compared to that observed in patients with albuminuria renal impairment.

Project description:UnlabelledThe identification of clinical predictors for the development of chronic kidney disease is a critical issue in the management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.We evaluated 27,029 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m and normoalbuminuria from the database of the Italian Association of Clinical Diabetologists network. Primary outcomes were eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m and normoalbuminuria; albuminuria and eGFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m; and eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m and albuminuria. Secondary outcomes were eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m and albuminuria.MeasurementseGFR from serum creatinine by chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration equation (CKD-EPI), urinary albumin excretion, HbA1c, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), blood pressure, and body mass index.Over a 4-year period, 33.2% of patients (n = 8973) developed chronic kidney disease, 10.3% (n = 2788) showed a decline in eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m, 18.4% (n = 4978) developed albuminuria, and 4.5% (n = 1207) developed both features. Relative risk ratios (RRRs) for age (1.37, P < 0.001 by 5 years), sex (0.77, P < 0.001 for being male), body mass index (1.03, P < 0.001 by 1 kg/m), triglycerides (1.02, P < 0.001 by 10 mg/dL), and LDL-c (0.97, P = 0.004 by 10 mg/dL) were independently related to the onset of eGFR reduction. Age (1.08, P < 0.001 by 5 years), sex (1.36, P < 0.001 for being male), body mass index (1.02, P < 0.001 by 1 kg/m), triglycerides (1.01, P = 0.02 by 10 mg/dL), HDL-c, and LDL-c (0.97, P = 0.008 and 0.99, P = 0.003 by 5 and 10 mg/dL, respectively) were related to the onset of albuminuria. HbA1c and the intensity of antihypertensive treatment showed a weaker association with renal outcome.Reduction in eGFR and albuminuria showed distinct sets of risk factors, suggesting that different mechanisms are involved in the development of these 2 components of diabetic kidney disease.

Project description:Abstract Background Cognitive impairment in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common and underrecognized [1, 2]. Determining risk factors for cognitive impairment and whether speed of CKD progression is an important consideration may help identify cognitive impairment by nephrologists. Vascular disease is thought to underpin cognitive impairment in CKD and by segregating CKD patients with proven vascular disease, we may also be able to discover other important associations with cognitive impairment in CKD patients. Method A total of 250 patients in a UK prospective cohort of CKD patients underwent two cognitive assessments: Montreal Cognitive Assessment test and Trail Making Test. Cognitive impairment was defined using validated population cut-offs (cognitive impairment) and relative cognitive impairment. Relative cognitive impairment was defined by <1 standard deviation below the mean Z-score on any completed test. Two multivariable logistical regression models identified variables associated with cognitive impairment and realtive cognitive impairment. Results About 44 and 24.8% of patients suffered cognitive impairment and relative cognitive impairment, respectively. Depression, previous stroke and older age were significantly associated with cognitive impairment. Older age was significantly associated with relative cognitive impairment (P ≤ 0.05) and higher proteinuria and the use of psychodynamic medications were also significantly associated with relative cognitive impairment (P = 0.05). Delta estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with cognitive impairment and relative cognitive impairment compared with those having normal cognition was similar (−0.77 versus −1.35 mL/min/1.73 m2/year, P = 0.34 for cognitive impairment and −1.12 versus −1.02 mL/min/1.73 m2/year, P = 0.89 for relative cognitive impairment). Conclusion Risk factors for cognitive impairment in CKD include previous stroke, depression or anxiety, higher proteinuria and prescription of psychodynamic medications. Patients with a faster eGFR decline do not represent a group of patients at increased risk of cognitive impairment.
