Five-year Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate in Patients With Hypoparathyroidism Treated With and Without rhPTH(1-84).

ABSTRACT:

Context

Chronic hypoparathyroidism (HypoPT) is conventionally managed with oral calcium and active vitamin D. Recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1-84) (rhPTH[1-84]) is a therapy targeting the pathophysiology of HypoPT by replacing parathyroid hormone.

Objective

To compare changes in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with chronic HypoPT receiving or not receiving rhPTH(1-84) during a 5-year period.

Design/setting

A retrospective analysis of patients with chronic HypoPT treated with or without rhPTH(1-84).

Patients

Sixty-nine patients with chronic HypoPT from 4 open-label, long-term trials (NCT00732615, NCT01268098, NCT01297309, and NCT02910466) composed the rhPTH(1-84) cohort and 53 patients with chronic HypoPT not receiving rhPTH(1-84) from the Geisinger Healthcare Database (01/2004-06/2016) composed the historical control cohort.

Interventions

The rhPTH(1-84) cohort (N = 69) received rhPTH(1-84) therapy; the historical control cohort (N = 53) did not receive rhPTH(1-84).

Main outcome measures

Changes in eGFR from baseline during a 5-year follow-up were examined in multivariate regression analyses.

Results

At baseline, demographic characteristics and eGFR were similar between cohorts, though the proportions with diabetes and cardiac disorders were lower in the rhPTH(1-84) cohort. At the end of follow-up, mean eGFR increased by 2.8 mL/min/1.73 m2 in the rhPTH(1-84) cohort, while mean eGFR fell by 8.0 mL/min/1.73 m2 in the control cohort. In the adjusted model, the difference in the annual eGFR change between the rhPTH(1-84) cohort and the control cohort was 1.7 mL/min/1.73 m2 per year (P = 0.009).

Conclusions

Estimated glomerular filtration rate was preserved for over 5 years among patients with chronic HypoPT receiving rhPTH(1-84) treatment, contrasting with an eGFR decline among those not receiving rhPTH(1-84).

Project description:IntroductionChronic hypoparathyroidism, treated with conventional therapy of oral calcium supplements and active vitamin D, may increase the risk of kidney complications. This study examined risks of development and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline in patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism.MethodsA retrospective cohort study using a managed care claims database in the United States from January 2007 to June 2017 included patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism (excluding those receiving parathyroid hormone) and randomly selected patients without hypoparathyroidism followed for up to 5 years. Main outcome measures were (1) development of CKD, defined as new diagnosis of CKD stage 3 and higher or ≥ 2 eGFR measurements < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 ≥ 3 months apart, (2) progression of CKD, defined as increase in baseline CKD stage, (3) progression to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), and (4) eGFR decline ≥ 30% from baseline. Time-to-event analyses included Kaplan-Meier analyses with log-rank tests, and both unadjusted and adjusted Cox proportional hazards models were used to compare outcomes between cohorts.ResultsThe study included 8097 adults with and 40,485 without chronic hypoparathyroidism. In Kaplan-Meier analyses, patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism had higher risk of developing CKD and CKD progression and higher rates of eGFR decline (all P < 0.001). In multivariable Cox models adjusted for baseline characteristics, hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals [CIs]) were 2.91 (2.61-3.25) for developing CKD, 1.58 (1.23-2.01) for CKD stage progression, 2.14 (1.51-3.04) for progression to ESKD, and 2.56 (1.62-4.03) for eGFR decline (all P < 0.001) among patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism compared with those without hypoparathyroidism.ConclusionPatients with chronic hypoparathyroidism have increased risk of development and progression of CKD and eGFR decline compared with those without hypoparathyroidism. Further studies are warranted to understand underlying mechanisms for the associations between chronic hypoparathyroidism and kidney disease.

Project description:IntroductionPatients with chronic hypoparathyroidism are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease. This study evaluated the risk of developing cardiovascular conditions over a period of 5 years in adult patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism treated with recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1-84), rhPTH(1-84), compared with a historical control cohort of patients not treated with rhPTH(1-84).MethodsThis retrospective cohort study comprised patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism treated with rhPTH(1-84) in the REPLACE (NCT00732615), RELAY (NCT01268098), and RACE (NCT01297309) clinical trials, and controls selected from the IBM® Explorys electronic medical record database (January 2007-August 2019) who did not receive parathyroid hormone but who had enrollment criteria similar to those for the clinical trials. Cardiovascular outcomes were the first diagnosis of cerebrovascular, coronary artery, peripheral vascular disease, or heart failure during the study period.ResultsWe evaluated 113 adult patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism treated with rhPTH(1-84) and 618 control patients who did not receive rhPTH(1-84). Over the 5-year follow-up period, 3.5% of patients (n = 4) in the rhPTH(1-84) cohort had a cardiovascular event compared with 16.3% (n = 101) in the control cohort. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that patients in the rhPTH(1-84) cohort had lower risk of experiencing a cardiovascular event compared with patients in the control cohort (P = 0.005). Multivariable analyses adjusted for baseline variables showed that patients in the rhPTH(1-84) cohort had 75% lower risk for a cardiovascular event compared with patients in the control cohort (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.25 [95% CI 0.08-0.81]; P = 0.020).ConclusionLong-term treatment with rhPTH(1-84) was associated with a lower risk of incident cardiovascular conditions compared with conventional therapy in patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism. Previous studies demonstrated that mineral homeostasis was maintained with lower use of calcium and active vitamin D when rhPTH(1-84) was added to conventional therapy. Future studies are needed to understand whether improved regulation of mineral homeostasis conferred by rhPTH(1-84) may provide long-term cardiovascular benefits to patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism.

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.

Project description:AIMS:There is uncertainty about which estimated glomerular filtration rate eGFR equation to use in older people with respect to the prediction of prognosis. Our aim was: (i) to compare the discriminative capacity of eGFR estimated by different equations with respect to all-cause mortality; and (ii) to identify the eGFR threshold at which the risk of mortality starts to increase for each equation. METHODS:We used data from 828 community-dwelling older adults aged >65 years enrolled in the InCHIANTI study. The outcome measure was all-cause mortality at 9 years. GFR was estimated by five different equations: Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiological Collaboration (creatinine equation [CKD-EPIcre ], and creatinine and cystatin C equation [CKD-EPIcre-cys ]), Berlin Initiative Study (BIScre and BIScre-cys ) and full age spectrum. Sensitivity, specificity, areas under receiver operating curve (AUC) and C-statistics were used to compare their predictive capacity. RESULTS:The best mix of sensitivity, specificity, AUC and C-statistic value in predicting mortality was observed with BIS equations. BIScre (AUC 0.65, 95% CI 0.61-0.69) outperformed both CKD-EPIcre (AUC 0.60, 95% CI 0.56-0.64; P = 0.005) and full age spectrum (AUC 0.63, 95% CI 0.59-0.67; P = 0.002) in terms of predictivity. Similarly, BIScre-cys (AUC 0.67, 95% CI 0.63-0.71) outperformed CKD-EPIcre-cys (AUC 0.63, 95% CI 0.59-0.67; P = 0.01). AUC obtained with equations also including cystatin C were not significantly different compared with their creatinine-based counterparts. The risk of long-term mortality began to increase at under 65.6 mL/min/1.73 m2 for CKD-EPIcre-cys , 60.5 for CKD-EPIcre , 60 for BIScre-cys , 56.3 for BIScre and 55.2 for full age spectrum. CONCLUSIONS:The BIS equation discriminates the risk of all-cause mortality better than other equations in older community-dwelling individuals. The eGFR threshold under which mortality starts to increase could change as a function of the equation used. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2018; 18: 607-614.
