Serum klotho is inversely associated with metabolic syndrome in chronic kidney disease: results from the KNOW-CKD study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Metabolic syndrome (MS) is prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Klotho, a protein linked to aging, is closely associated with CKD. Each component of MS and klotho has an association. However, little is known about the association between klotho and MS per se. We investigated the association between serum klotho levels and MS using baseline cross-sectional data obtained from a large Korean CKD cohort. METHODS:Of the 2238 subjects recruited in the KoreaN Cohort Study for Outcome in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease (KNOW-CKD) between 2011 and 2016, 484 patients with missing data on serum klotho and extreme klotho values (values lower than the detectable range or?>?6000?pg/mL) or with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease patients were excluded. The data of the remaining 1754 subjects were included in the present study. MS was defined using the revised National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel (NCEP-ATP) III criteria. Serum klotho levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS:Mean patient age was 54.9?±?12.1?years and 1110 (63.3%) were male. The prevalence of MS among all study subjects was 63.7% (n?=?1118). The median serum klotho level was 527?pg/mL (interquartile range [IQR]: 418-656?pg/mL). Serum klotho level was significantly lower in MS patients than patients without MS (Median [IQR]; 521?pg/mL [413, 651] vs. 541?pg/mL [427, 676], respectively; P?=?0.012). After adjusting for age, sex, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and overt proteinuria, serum klotho was independently associated with MS (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 0.44; 95% confidence interval, 0.23-0.82; P?=?0.010). Furthermore, the adjusted OR for MS was found to be significantly increased at serum klotho levels of

Project description:Osteoprotegerin, a potent osteoclast activation inhibitor, decreases bone resorption and positively affects bone mineral density. This study examined the association between serum osteoprotegerin levels and bone loss in patients with chronic kidney disease, a condition associated with increased risk of mineral and bone disorders. The bone mineral densities of the lumbar spine, total hip, and femur neck were assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; serum osteoprotegerin levels were measured at baseline for 1,423 patients enrolled in the prospective KoreaN cohort study for Outcome in patients With Chronic Kidney Disease (KNOW-CKD). Patients aged ≥50 years and with a T-score ≤ -2.5 were diagnosed as having osteoporosis. Multivariable linear regression analysis indicated independent association between serum osteoprotegerin levels and decreased bone mineral density in the lumbar spine (B: -0.489, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.883 to -0.095, P = 0.015), and total hip (B: -0.349, 95% CI: -0.672 to -0.027, P = 0.027). However, bone mineral density of the femur neck was not associated with serum osteoprotegerin levels in women. After adjustments, no independent association was found between serum osteoprotegerin levels and bone mineral density in men. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, serum osteoprotegerin levels were associated with increased risk of osteoporosis in women (odds ratio [OR]: 4.72, 95% CI: 1.35 to 16.52, P = 0.015), but not in men (OR: 0.21; 95% CI: 0.04 to 1.31, P = 0.095). To summarize, in female patients with chronic kidney disease, increased serum osteoprotegerin levels were independently associated with decreased bone mineral density in the lumbar spine and total hip, and with increased risk of osteoporosis. Therefore, the measurement of serum osteoprotegerin concentration might be useful as a surrogate marker for determining bone loss in patients with chronic kidney disease, especially for women, although not so much for men.
