ABSTRACT: Background
Uromodulin, a tissue-specific tubular glycoprotein, has recently emerged as a promising biomarker for kidney function and tubular integrity. However, the association of serum uromodulin (sUmod) with renal function decline is still unknown in an older general population.Methods
We analysed the association of sUmod with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria in 1075 participants of the population-based Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg (KORA) F4 study, ages 62-81?years, at baseline and prospectively after a mean follow-up time of 6.5?years (n?=?605) using logistic and linear regression models as well as receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analyses.Results
Cross-sectionally, sUmod was positively associated with eGFR (??=?0.31?±?0.02 per higher standard deviation sUmod; P?2 after 6.5?years of follow-up {odds ratio [OR] 1.02 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.77-1.36] per higher SD sUmod} but was inversely associated with advanced CKD, defined as incident eGFR <45?mL/min/1.73?m2 [OR 0.64 (95% CI 0.42-0.98)]. The ROC showed no added predictive value of sUmod for kidney function decline in the fully adjusted model.Conclusions
Higher sUmod was inversely associated with progression to advanced kidney disease but does not provide additional predictive value for the development of CKD in elderly participants of the population-based KORA study.
