Longer sleep duration may negatively affect renal function.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Observational studies evaluating the link between sleep duration and kidney function reported controversial results. In the present study, Mendelian randomization analysis was applied to obtain unconfounded estimates of the casual association of genetically determined sleep duration with estimated glomerular filtration rate and the risk of chronic kidney disease.

Methods

Data from the largest genome-wide association studies on self-reported and accelerometer-derived sleep duration, estimated glomerular filtration rate and chronic kidney disease were analysed in total, as well as separately in diabetic and non-diabetic individuals. Inverse variance weighted (IVW) method, weighted median-based method, MR-Egger and MR-Pleiotropy RESidual Sum and Outlier (MR-PRESSO) were applied, as well as the leave-one-out method to rule out the impact of single single-nucleotide polymorphism.

Results

Individuals with genetically longer self-reported sleep duration had a higher chronic kidney disease risk (IVW: ??=?0.358, p?=?0.047). Furthermore, in non-diabetics, longer self-reported sleep duration was negatively associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (IVW: ??=?- 0.024, p?=?0.020). Similarly, accelerometer-derived sleep duration was negatively related to estimated glomerular filtration rate in the total population (IVW: ??=?- 0.019, p?=?0.047) and then on-diabetic individuals. No significant association was found between self-reported sleep duration and estimated glomerular filtration rate in the whole population and type-2 diabetes mellitus patients. None of the estimated associations was subjected to a significant level of heterogeneity. MR-PRESSO analysis did not show any chance of outliers for all estimates. The pleiotropy test also indicated low chance of pleiotropy. The leave-one-out method demonstrated that the links were not driven by single-nucleotide polymorphisms.

Conclusions

For the first time, the present study shed a light on the potential harmful effects of longer sleep duration (measured both objectively and subjectively) on kidney function. This finding was observed in the total population and in non-diabetic individuals, but not in those with diabetes. Further research is needed to elucidate the links between sleep duration, estimated glomerular filtration rate and the risk of chronic kidney disease.

Project description:ObjectivesExtensive researches highlight the detrimental impact of sleep disorders such as insomnia and insufficient sleep duration on kidney function. However, establishing a clear causal relationship between insomnia, sleep duration, and kidney function remains challenging. This study aims to estimate this relationship using Mendelian randomization (MR).MethodsIndependent genetic variants strongly associated with insomnia (N = 462,341) and sleep duration (N = 460,099) were selected as instrumental variables from corresponding genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Kidney function parameters, including serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate by cystatin C (eGFRcys), acute renal failure (ARF), chronic renal failure (CRF), kidney injury molecule-1, neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin, microalbuminuria, cystatin C, and β2 microglobulin, were derived from GWAS databases. A two-sample MR study was conducted to assess the causal relationship between sleep disorders and kidney function, and multivariable MR was used to identify potential mediators. The inverse-variance weighted was used as the primary estimate.ResultsMR analysis found robust evidence indicating that insomnia and short sleep duration were associated with an increased risk of elevated serum creatinine, regardless of adjusting for obesity. Causal links between sleep duration and eGFRcys or cystatin C were also identified. While genetically predicted insomnia and sleep duration were found to potentially impact ARF, CRF, microalbuminuria, and β2 microglobulin, the p-values in multivariable MR analysis became nonsignificant. No pleiotropy was detected.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates a causal impact of insomnia on the risk of elevated serum creatinine and a positive effect of sleep duration on serum creatinine, eGFRcys, and cystatin C. Our findings also suggest their potential indirect effects on ARF, CRF, microalbuminuria, and β2 microglobulin mediated by obesity.

Project description:BackgroundEvidence linking chronic kidney disease (CKD) and sleep duration is inconsistent. This study examined whether sleep duration is associated with a long-term risk of kidney function decline.MethodsThis retrospective, longitudinal cohort study included 82 001 participants who visited a primary care centre in Japan. Participants were categorized into CKD risk groups and sleep duration categories according to their self-reported average nightly sleep duration. The relationship between average nightly sleep duration and the incidence of composite renal outcome comprised a ≥40% reduction in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from baseline and a decline in eGFR to <15 mL/min/1.73 m² was evaluated.ResultsThe mean age and eGFR (±standard deviation) of the patient cohort were 45.8 (±12.4) years and 81.8 (±15.4) mL/min/1.73 m², respectively. A total of 41 891 participants (51.1%) were women. During the median follow-up of 5.1 years [interquartile range 2.2-9.6], 4214 (5.1%) participants achieved the composite renal outcome. Only the long and very long sleep durations (≥8 h/night) were associated with an increased incidence of the composite renal outcome compared with the reference duration (7 h/night) [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 1.22 and 1.44; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.09-1.36 and 1.13-1.84, for long and very long sleep durations, respectively]. Furthermore, this association was significant for both long and very long sleep durations in the low CKD risk group but only for long sleep duration in the intermediate CKD risk group. The results of the sex-specific analysis showed that men had a decreased risk of achieving the composite renal outcome (OR 0.91; 95% CI 0.79-1.06), while there was an increased risk for women (OR 1.14; 95% CI 1.02-1.28).ConclusionsAverage sleep durations ≥8 h/night were associated with an increased incidence of poor renal outcomes over time. However, a longitudinal cohort study is required to confirm whether sleep duration can prevent poor renal outcomes.
