Relation of multi-marker panel to incident chronic kidney disease and rapid kidney function decline in African Americans: the Jackson Heart Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Few investigations have evaluated the incremental usefulness of multiple biomarkers representing varying physiological pathways for predicting risk of renal outcomes in African Americans.

Design, setting, participants, and measurements

We related a multi-marker panel to incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) and rapid kidney function decline (RKFD) in 2813 Jackson Heart Study participants without prevalent CKD at exam 1 (2000-2004) and with complete assays at exam 1 for 9 biomarkers: adiponectin, aldosterone, B-natriuretic peptide [BNP], cortisol, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), endothelin, homocysteine, plasma renin activity and mass. Incident CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)?2 at exam 3 while RKFD was defined as eGFR ?30% loss between exams 1 and 3 (8.2 median years). We employed multiple logistic regression model to describe association between the panel and incident CKD and RKFD and used backward elimination strategy to estimate the most parsimonious biomarker model while controlling for conventional risk factors.

Results

The multi-marker panel predicted the risk for both incident CKD (odds ratios [OR], 2.72; 95% confidence intervals [CI], 1.63, 4.56; P?=?0.001) and RKFD (2.61; 95% CI, 1.67, 4.08; P?< 0.001). Per standard deviation increase in log biomarker concentrations were significantly (multivariable adjusted odds ratios, [95% confidence interval], p-value) associated with incident CKD: plasma adiponectin (1.24 [1.07, 1.44], p?=?0.005) and leptin (1.3 [1.06, 1.61], p?=?0.011), and with RKFD: plasma adiponectin (1.22 [1.06, 1.40], p?=?0.006); hsCRP (1.17 [1.01, 1.36], p?=?0.031) and aldosterone (0.85 [0.74, 0.96], p?=?0.012). Moderate levels (3rd quartile) of aldosterone were inversely associated with incident CKD (0.54 [0.35, 0.82], p?=?0.004) while leptin was associated with RKFD (1.64 [1.10, 2.44], p?=?0.015). Biomarkers improved CKD risk prediction (P?=?0.003) but not RKFD risk prediction (P?=?0.10).

Conclusion

In this community-based sample of African Americans, a multi-marker panel added only moderate predictive improvement compared to conventional risk factors.

Project description:BackgroundRacial differences in rapid kidney function decline exist, but less is known regarding factors associated with rapid decline among African Americans. Greater understanding of potentially modifiable risk factors for early kidney function loss may help reduce the burden of kidney failure in this high-risk population.Study designProspective cohort study.Setting & participants3,653 African American participants enrolled in the Jackson Heart Study (JHS) with kidney function data from 2 of 3 examinations (2000-2004 and 2009-2013). Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated from serum creatinine using the CKD-EPI creatinine equation.PredictorsDemographics, socioeconomic status, lifestyle, and clinical risk factors for kidney failure.OutcomesRapid decline was defined as a ≥30% decline in eGFR during follow-up. We quantified the association of risk factors with rapid decline in multivariable models.MeasurementsClinical (systolic blood pressure and albuminuria [albumin-creatinine ratio]) and modifiable risk factors.ResultsMean age was 54±12 (SD) years, 37% were men, average body mass index was 31.8±7.1kg/m(2), 19% had diabetes mellitus (DM), and mean eGFR was 96.0±20mL/min/1.73m(2) with an annual rate of decline of 1.27mL/min/1.73m(2). Those with rapid decline (11.5%) were older, were more likely to be of low/middle income, and had higher systolic blood pressures and greater DM than those with nonrapid decline. Factors associated with ≥30% decline were older age (adjusted OR per 10 years older, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.34-1.71), cardiovascular disease (adjusted OR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.12-2.10), higher systolic blood pressure (adjusted OR per 17mmHg greater, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.06-1.41), DM (adjusted OR, 2.63; 95% CI, 2.02-3.41), smoking (adjusted OR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.10-2.31), and albumin-creatinine ratio > 30mg/g (adjusted OR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.08-1.21). Conversely, results did not support associations of waist circumference, C-reactive protein level, and physical activity with rapid decline.LimitationsNo midstudy creatinine measurement at examination 2 (2005-2008).ConclusionsRapid decline heterogeneity exists among African Americans in JHS. Interventions targeting potentially modifiable factors may help reduce the incidence of kidney failure.

Project description:BackgroundCardiac structural abnormalities, common in African Americans, are associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Associations between echocardiography-measured subclinical heart failure and kidney function decline are unknown and may identify novel risk factors for kidney disease in this population.Study designProspective cohort study.Setting & participants2,418 Jackson Heart Study participants with baseline echocardiograms and longitudinal measures of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated from the CKD-EPI creatinine equation. 2,219 participants had baseline eGFRs≥60mL/min/1.73m2.PredictorsLeft ventricular mass (LVM) and ejection fraction (LVEF) and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) quantified from baseline echocardiograms.OutcomesPrimary outcome was >30% eGFR decline or progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD; need for dialysis therapy) over a mean of 8 years. Secondary outcome, eGFR<60mL/min/1.73m2 or progression to ESRD and eGFR decline >1mL/min/1.73m2 per year among those with baseline eGFRs≥60mL/min/1.73m2.MeasurementsLogistic regression models, adjusted for demographics, physical characteristics, comorbid conditions, and medication use.ResultsMean age was 52.2±11.9 (SD) years, 37% of participants were men; mean baseline eGFR was 87.3±17.3mL/min/1.73m2. The primary and secondary outcomes occurred in 148 (6.1%) and 162 (7.1%) participants, respectively. In unadjusted models, every 25-g greater LVM was significantly associated with greater odds of eGFR decline > 30% or ESRD (OR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.26-1.51) and incident eGFR<60mL/min/1.73m2 or ESRD (OR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.20-1.42); only the former remained statistically significant after adjustment. There was no association of LVEF or PASP with either eGFR decline > 30% or ESRD (LVEF: adjusted OR, 0.95 [95% CI, 0.84-1.07]; PASP: adjusted OR, 0.98 [95% CI, 0.87-1.11]) or incident eGFR<60mL/min/1.73m2 or ESRD (LVEF: adjusted OR, 0.98 [95% CI, 0.86-1.11]; PASP: adjusted OR, 1.05 [95% CI, 0.94-1.18]) in multivariable models.LimitationsNo midstudy creatinine measurement at examination 2.ConclusionsGreater LVM was significantly associated with eGFR decline > 30% or ESRD among African Americans in a community-based cohort. Treating and reversing elevated LVM may reduce the burden and progression of kidney disease in this high-risk population.

Project description:RationaleAlthough chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has been related to heart failure, the relationship between the restrictive spirometry pattern (forced vital capacity [FVC] < 80% predicted with preserved forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1]/FVC ratio) and heart failure is poorly understood.ObjectivesTo determine whether having a restrictive spirometry pattern is associated with incident heart failure hospitalization.MethodsCommunity-dwelling African Americans from the Jackson Heart Study (total n = 5,306; analyzed n = 4,210 with spirometry and heart failure outcome data) were grouped by restrictive spirometry (FEV1/FVC ≥ 0.70, FVC < 80%; n = 840), airflow obstruction (FEV1/FVC < 0.70; n = 341), and normal spirometry (FEV1/FVC ≥ 0.70, FVC ≥ 80%; n = 3,029) at the time of baseline examination in 2000-2004. We assessed relationships of echocardiographic parameters and biomarkers with spirometry patterns using regression models. Incident heart failure was defined as an adjudicated hospitalization for heart failure after January 1, 2005 in subjects with no self-reported heart failure history. We used multivariable-adjusted Poisson regression models and Cox proportional hazards models, with death treated as a competing risk in the Cox models, to test associations between spirometry patterns and incident heart failure. We also modeled the association of FVC% predicted with heart failure hospitalization risk using a restricted cubic spline after excluding subjects with airflow obstruction.ResultsAt the time of baseline spirometry, participants with restrictive spirometry had a median age of 57.2 years (interquartile range, 47.8-64.1); 38.1% were male. Compared with normal spirometry, restrictive spirometry was associated with a higher transmitral early (E) wave velocity to atrial (A) wave velocity ratio, higher pulmonary artery systolic pressure, and higher endothelin levels. After a median follow-up time of 8.0 years, 8.0% of subjects with restrictive spirometry (n = 67) had developed incident heart failure, compared with 3.8% of those with normal spirometry (n = 115) and 10.6% of those with airflow obstruction (n = 36). After risk adjustment, both a restrictive pattern (hazard ratio [HR], 1.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-2.0) and airflow obstruction (HR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.1-2.5) were associated with increased rates of incident heart failure hospitalization compared with normal spirometry. Using flexible modeling, the lowest hazards of heart failure hospitalization were observed around FVC 90-100%, with lower FVC% values associated with an increased incidence of heart failure.ConclusionsBoth a restrictive pattern on spirometry and airflow obstruction identify African Americans with impaired lung health at risk for heart failure.

Project description:BackgroundLow-normal potassium is a risk factor for diabetes and may account for some of the racial disparity in diabetes risk. Aldosterone affects serum potassium and is associated with insulin resistance.ObjectivesWe sought to confirm the association between potassium and incident diabetes in an African-American cohort, and to determine the effect of aldosterone on this association.DesignWe studied participants from the Jackson Heart Study, an African-American adult cohort, who were without diabetes at baseline. With the use of logistic regression, we characterized the associations of serum, dietary, and urinary potassium with incident diabetes. In addition, we evaluated aldosterone as a potential effect modifier of these associations.ResultsOf 2157 participants, 398 developed diabetes over 8 y. In a minimally adjusted model, serum potassium was a significant predictor of incident diabetes (OR: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.74, 0.92 per SD increment in serum potassium). In multivariable models, we found a significant interaction between serum potassium and aldosterone (P = 0.046). In stratified multivariable models, in those with normal aldosterone (<9 ng/dL, n = 1163), participants in the highest 2 potassium quartiles had significantly lower odds of incident diabetes than did those in the lowest potassium quartile [OR (95% CI): 0.61 (0.39, 0.97) and 0.54 (0.33, 0.90), respectively]. Among those with high-normal aldosterone (≥9 ng/dL, n = 202), we found no significant association between serum potassium and incident diabetes. In these stratified models, serum aldosterone was not a significant predictor of incident diabetes. We found no statistically significant associations between dietary or urinary potassium and incident diabetes.ConclusionsIn this African-American cohort, we found that aldosterone may modify the association between serum potassium and incident diabetes. In participants with normal aldosterone, high-normal serum potassium was associated with a lower risk of diabetes than was low-normal serum potassium. Additional studies are warranted to determine whether serum potassium is a modifiable risk factor that could be a target for diabetes prevention. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00415415.
