Albuminuria, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and traditional predictors for composite cardiovascular and kidney outcome: a population-based cohort study in Korea.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Certain pharmacotherapies have shown to be effective for both cardiac and kidney outcomes. Although risk prediction is important in treatment decision-making, few studies have evaluated prediction models for composite cardiovascular and kidney outcomes.

Methods

This study included 2,195,341 Korean adults from a nationwide cohort for chronic kidney disease and a representative sample of the general population, with a 9-year follow-up. This study evaluated prediction models for a composite of major cardiovascular events or kidney disease progression that included albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and/or traditional cardiovascular disease predictors.

Results

The addition of albuminuria and eGFR to a model for the composite outcome that included age, sex, and traditional predictors increased a C statistic by 0.0459, while the addition of traditional predictors to age, sex, albuminuria, and eGFR increased a C statistic by 0.0157. When age and sex-adjusted incidence rates were calculated across the combined Pooled-Cohort-Equations (PCEs) and Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) risk categories in diabetic or hypertensive participants, the incidence of ≥10 per 1,000 person-years was observed among all categories with high or very high KDIGO risk and among categories with moderate (or low) KDIGO risk and a PCEs 10-year risk of ≥10% (or ≥20%), accounting for 36% of diabetic and 18% of hypertensive populations.

Conclusion

This study strongly supports the utility of the KDIGO risk matrix combined with a conventional cardiovascular risk score for the prediction of composite cardiovascular and kidney outcome and provides epidemiologic data relevant to the development of efficient treatment strategies.

Project description:ImportanceChronic kidney disease (low estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] or albuminuria) affects approximately 14% of adults in the US.ObjectiveTo evaluate associations of lower eGFR based on creatinine alone, lower eGFR based on creatinine combined with cystatin C, and more severe albuminuria with adverse kidney outcomes, cardiovascular outcomes, and other health outcomes.Design, setting, and participantsIndividual-participant data meta-analysis of 27 503 140 individuals from 114 global cohorts (eGFR based on creatinine alone) and 720 736 individuals from 20 cohorts (eGFR based on creatinine and cystatin C) and 9 067 753 individuals from 114 cohorts (albuminuria) from 1980 to 2021.ExposuresThe Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration 2021 equations for eGFR based on creatinine alone and eGFR based on creatinine and cystatin C; and albuminuria estimated as urine albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR).Main outcomes and measuresThe risk of kidney failure requiring replacement therapy, all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, acute kidney injury, any hospitalization, coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and peripheral artery disease. The analyses were performed within each cohort and summarized with random-effects meta-analyses.ResultsWithin the population using eGFR based on creatinine alone (mean age, 54 years [SD, 17 years]; 51% were women; mean follow-up time, 4.8 years [SD, 3.3 years]), the mean eGFR was 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 (SD, 22 mL/min/1.73 m2) and the median UACR was 11 mg/g (IQR, 8-16 mg/g). Within the population using eGFR based on creatinine and cystatin C (mean age, 59 years [SD, 12 years]; 53% were women; mean follow-up time, 10.8 years [SD, 4.1 years]), the mean eGFR was 88 mL/min/1.73 m2 (SD, 22 mL/min/1.73 m2) and the median UACR was 9 mg/g (IQR, 6-18 mg/g). Lower eGFR (whether based on creatinine alone or based on creatinine and cystatin C) and higher UACR were each significantly associated with higher risk for each of the 10 adverse outcomes, including those in the mildest categories of chronic kidney disease. For example, among people with a UACR less than 10 mg/g, an eGFR of 45 to 59 mL/min/1.73 m2 based on creatinine alone was associated with significantly higher hospitalization rates compared with an eGFR of 90 to 104 mL/min/1.73 m2 (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.3 [95% CI, 1.2-1.3]; 161 vs 79 events per 1000 person-years; excess absolute risk, 22 events per 1000 person-years [95% CI, 19-25 events per 1000 person-years]).Conclusions and relevanceIn this retrospective analysis of 114 cohorts, lower eGFR based on creatinine alone, lower eGFR based on creatinine and cystatin C, and more severe UACR were each associated with increased rates of 10 adverse outcomes, including adverse kidney outcomes, cardiovascular diseases, and hospitalizations.

Project description:Rationale & objectiveChronic kidney disease is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in the general population, but little is known about the incidence and risk factors associated with developing low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and moderate-severe albuminuria in living kidney donors following nephrectomy.Study designRetrospective, population-based cohort study.Setting & participantsKidney donors in Alberta, Canada.ExposureDonor nephrectomy between May 2001 and December 2017.OutcomeTwo eGFR measurements <45 mL/min/1.73 m2 or 2 measurements of moderate or severe albuminuria from 1-year postdonation onwards that were at least 90 days apart.Analytical approachAssociations between potential risk factors and the primary outcome were assessed using Cox proportional hazard regression analyses.ResultsOver a median follow-up period of 8.6 years (IQR, 4.7-12.6 years), 47 of 590 donors (8.0%) developed sustained low eGFR or moderate-severe albuminuria with an incidence rate of 9.2 per 1,000 person-years (95% confidence interval, 6.6-11.8). The median time for development of this outcome beyond the first year after nephrectomy was 2.9 years (IQR, 1.4-8.0 years). Within the first 4 years of follow-up, a 5 mL/min/1.73 m2 lower predonation eGFR increased the hazard of developing postdonation low eGFR or moderate-severe albuminuria by 26% (adjusted HR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.10-1.44). Furthermore, donors were at higher risk of developing low eGFR or albuminuria if they had evidence of predonation hypertension (adjusted HR, 2.52; 95% CI, 1.28-4.96) or postdonation diabetes (adjusted HR, 4.72; 95% CI, 1.54-14.50).LimitationsWe lacked data on certain donor characteristics that may affect long-term kidney function, such as race, smoking history, and transplant-related characteristics.ConclusionsA proportion of kidney donors at an incidence rate of 9.2 per 1,000 person-years will develop low eGFR or albuminuria after donation. Donors with lower predonation eGFR, predonation hypertension, and postdonation diabetes are at increased risk of developing this outcome.

Project description:BackgroundClassification of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and evaluation of prognosis is based on two components: estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR). In multiethnic populations, ethnic-specific discrepancies in both parameters may exist. It is unknown whether variations in CKD risk factors may explain these discrepancies.MethodsWe cross-sectionally analyzed baseline eGFR (CKD-EPI formula) and ACR of 21,421 participants (aged 18-70 years) of the HELIUS cohort who were randomly sampled between 2011 and 2015, stratified by ethnicity, through the municipality register of Amsterdam. Six ethnic groups were distinguished, including participants of Dutch (4539), South-Asian Surinamese (3027), African Surinamese (4114), Ghanaian (2297), Turkish (3576) and Moroccan (3868) descent. Multiple regression analyses to determine ethnic differences were performed, with additional adjustments for age, sex, traditional cardiovascular and renal risk factors, and adjustment for level of education.FindingsMean (SE) eGFR was higher in all ethnic minority groups as compared to Dutch participants (eGFR 94.7 ± 0.3 mL/min/1.73 m2) with age- and sex-adjusted differences ranging from 1.5 ± 0.30 in South-Asian Surinamese to 10.1 ± 0.28 mL/min/1.73 m2 in Moroccan participants. ACR was higher in ethnic minority groups as compared to Dutch participants (ACR 0.64 ± 0.20 mg/mmol), with age- and sex-adjusted differences ranging from 0.46 ± 0.20 in African Surinamese participants to 1.70 ± 0.21 mg/mmol in South-Asian Surinamese participants. Differences in both parameters diminished after multiple adjustments, but remained highly significant.InterpretationBoth eGFR and ACR are higher among ethnic minority groups as compared to individuals of Dutch origin-independent of age, sex, prevalence of traditional cardiovascular and renal risk factors, and parameters of socioeconomic status. Future studies should address the potential uncertainty in predicting CKD and CKD-related complications when using both parameters in ethnically diverse populations. Also, identification of driving factors leading to these discrepancies might contribute to improved population screening for CKD.FundingThe HELIUS study is conducted by the Amsterdam University Medical Center and the Public Health Service of Amsterdam. Both organizations provided core support for HELIUS. The HELIUS study is also funded by the Dutch Heart Foundation (2010T084), the Netherlands Organization for Health Research and Development (ZonMw: 200500003), the European Union (FP7: 278901), and the European Fund for the Integration of non-EU immigrants (EIF: 2013EIF013).

Project description:ObjectiveTo assess for the presence of a sex interaction in the associations of estimated glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria with all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and end stage renal disease.DesignRandom effects meta-analysis using pooled individual participant data.Setting46 cohorts from Europe, North and South America, Asia, and Australasia.Participants2,051,158 participants (54% women) from general population cohorts (n=1,861,052), high risk cohorts (n=151,494), and chronic kidney disease cohorts (n=38,612). Eligible cohorts (except chronic kidney disease cohorts) had at least 1000 participants, outcomes of either mortality or end stage renal disease of ≥ 50 events, and baseline measurements of estimated glomerular filtration rate according to the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation (mL/min/1.73 m(2)) and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (mg/g).ResultsRisks of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality were higher in men at all levels of estimated glomerular filtration rate and albumin-creatinine ratio. While higher risk was associated with lower estimated glomerular filtration rate and higher albumin-creatinine ratio in both sexes, the slope of the risk relationship for all-cause mortality and for cardiovascular mortality were steeper in women than in men. Compared with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 95, the adjusted hazard ratio for all-cause mortality at estimated glomerular filtration rate 45 was 1.32 (95% CI 1.08 to 1.61) in women and 1.22 (1.00 to 1.48) in men (P(interaction)<0.01). Compared with a urinary albumin-creatinine ratio of 5, the adjusted hazard ratio for all-cause mortality at urinary albumin-creatinine ratio 30 was 1.69 (1.54 to 1.84) in women and 1.43 (1.31 to 1.57) in men (P(interaction)<0.01). Conversely, there was no evidence of a sex difference in associations of estimated glomerular filtration rate and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio with end stage renal disease risk.ConclusionsBoth sexes face increased risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and end stage renal disease with lower estimated glomerular filtration rates and higher albuminuria. These findings were robust across a large global consortium.

Project description:Background and objectivesExposure to particulate matter (PM) <2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5) has been linked to detrimental health effects. This study aimed to describe the relationship between long-term PM2.5 exposure and kidney disease, including eGFR, level of albuminuria, and incident CKD.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsThe study included 10,997 participants from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities cohort who were followed from 1996-1998 through 2016. Monthly mean PM2.5 concentrations (μg/m3) were estimated at geocoded participant addresses using geographic information system-based, spatiotemporal generalized additive mixed models-including geospatial covariates such as land use-and then averaged over the 12-month period preceding participant examination. Covariate-adjusted, cross-sectional associations of PM2.5, baseline eGFR, and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) were estimated using linear regression. PM2.5 and incident CKD (defined as follow-up eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 with ≥25% eGFR decline relative to baseline, CKD-related hospitalization or death based on International Classification of Diseases 9/10 codes, or development of ESKD) associations were estimated using Cox proportional hazards regression. Modeling was stratified by study site, and stratum-specific estimates were combined using random-effects meta-analyses.ResultsBaseline mean participant age was 63 (±6) years and eGFR was 86 (±16) ml/min per 1.73 m2. There was no significant PM2.5-eGFR association at baseline. Each 1-μg/m3 higher annual average PM2.5 was associated with higher UACR after adjusting for demographics, socioeconomic status, and clinical covariates (percentage difference, 6.6%; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 2.6% to 10.7%). Each 1-μg/m3 higher annual average PM2.5 was associated with a significantly higher risk of incident CKD (hazard ratio, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.10).ConclusionsExposure to higher annual average PM2.5 concentrations was associated with a higher level of albuminuria and higher risk for incident CKD in a community-based cohort.
