Chronic kidney disease predictors in obese adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Glomerular hyperfiltration, initiating development of obesity-related glomerulopathy, results in an enlargement of the glomeruli and unsealing of the filtration barrier. It can be followed by adaptive focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of the study was to determine the expression pattern of lipid metabolism and selected kidney damage markers in obese adolescents and to identify potential factors which can predict CKD.

Methods

The study group consisted of 142 adolescents with a BMI z-score > 2. Sixty-two healthy and normal-weight individuals served as controls. The factors associated with the rate of glomerular filtration in obese adolescents were assessed by linear regression methods using univariate and multivariate analyses. The risk of developing CKD was estimated using the Fisher's exact test.

Results

The study group was divided into "elevated," "normal," and "decreased" glomerular filtration rate (GFR) patients. Increased urine galectin-3 (Gal-3) concentration was diagnosed in all patients. "Decreased GFR" subjects expressed increased urine concentration of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and daily megalin excretion. Thirty-nine study participants developed CKD. Increased uric acid (UA) concentration was associated with CKD development both in "normal" and "decreased GFR" patients. Additionally, in "normal" GFR patients, increased concentrations of cholesterol (Ch), triglycerides (TG), and NGAL were associated with CKD.

Conclusions

Increased serum concentrations of Ch, TG, and UA and increased urine concentration of NGAL might predict CKD development in obese adolescents with normal and decreased GFR. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Project description:BackgroundFew studies have prospectively evaluated the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children and adolescents, as well as factors associated with progression.Study designProspective multicenter observational cohort study.Setting & participants496 children and adolescents with CKD enrolled in the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children (CKiD) Study.PredictorsProteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and anemia.OutcomesParametric failure-time models were used to characterize adjusted associations between baseline levels and changes in predictors and time to a composite event of renal replacement therapy or 50% decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR).Results398 patients had nonglomerular disease and 98 had glomerular disease; of these, 29% and 41%, respectively, progressed to the composite event after median follow-ups of 5.2 and 3.7 years, respectively. Demographic and clinical characteristics and outcomes differed substantially according to the underlying diagnosis; hence, risk factors for progression were assessed in stratified analyses, and formal interactions by diagnosis were performed. Among patients with nonglomerular disease and after adjusting for baseline GFR, times to the composite event were significantly shorter with urinary protein-creatinine ratio > 2mg/mg, hypoalbuminemia, elevated blood pressure, dyslipidemia, male sex, and anemia, by 79%, 69%, 38%, 40%, 38%, and 45%, respectively. Among patients with glomerular disease, urinary protein-creatinine ratio >2mg/mg, hypoalbuminemia, and elevated blood pressure were associated with significantly reduced times to the composite event by 94%, 71%, and 67%, respectively. Variables expressing change in patient clinical status over the initial year of the study contributed significantly to the model, which was cross-validated internally.LimitationsSmall number of events in glomerular patients and use of internal cross-validation.ConclusionsCharacterization and modeling of risk factors for CKD progression can be used to predict the extent to which these factors, either alone or in combination, would shorten the time to renal replacement therapy or 50% decline in GFR in children with CKD.
