[PMID: 38315279 DOI: 10.1007/s40620-023-01866-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, the importance of attribute-based medicine has been emphasized. The effects of early-onset intracranial aneurysms on patients can be significant and long-lasting. Herein, we compared the factors associated with intracranial aneurysms in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) according to age categories (≥ 50 years, < 50 years). METHODS We included 519 ADPKD patients, with a median age of 44 years, estimated glomerular filtration rate of 54.5 mL/min/1.73 m2, and total follow-up duration of 3104 patient-years. Logistic regression analyses were performed to determine factors associated with intracranial aneurysms. RESULTS Regarding the presence of intracranial aneurysm, significant interactions were identified between the age category (age ≥ 50 years), female sex (P = 0.0027 for the interaction) and hypertension (P = 0.0074 for the interaction). Female sex and hypertension were associated with intracranial aneurysm risk factors only in patients aged ≥ 50 years. The presence of intracranial aneurysm was significantly associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 4-5 (odds ratio [OR] = 3.87, P = 0.0007) and family history of intracranial aneurysm or subarachnoid hemorrhage (OR = 2.30, P = 0.0217) in patients aged < 50 years. For patients aged ≥ 50 years, in addition to the abovementioned factors [OR = 2.38, P = 0.0355 for CKD stages 4-5; OR = 3.49, P = 0.0094 for family history of intracranial aneurysm or subarachnoid hemorrhage], female sex (OR = 4.51, P = 0.0005), and hypertension (OR = 5.89, P = 0.0012) were also associated with intracranial aneurysm. CONCLUSION Kidney dysfunction and family history of intracranial aneurysm or subarachnoid hemorrhage are risk factors for early-onset intracranial aneurysm. Patients aged < 50 years with a family history of intracranial aneurysm or subarachnoid hemorrhage or with CKD stages 4-5 may be at an increased risk of early-onset intracranial aneurysm.

[PMID: 38565556 PMCID: PMC10987640 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-58293-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
We aimed to examine the relationship between abdominal computed tomography (CT)-based body composition data and both renal function decline and all-cause mortality in patients with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD). This retrospective study comprised non-dialysis CKD patients who underwent consecutive unenhanced abdominal CT between January 2010 and December 2011. CT-based body composition was measured using semiautomated method that included visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, skeletal muscle area and density, and abdominal aortic calcium score (AAS). Sarcopenia and myosteatosis were defined by decreased skeletal muscle index (SMI) and decreased skeletal muscle density, respectively, each with specific cutoffs. Risk factors for CKD progression and survival were identified using logistic regression and Cox proportional hazard regression models. Survival between groups based on myosteatosis and AAS was compared using the Kaplan-Meier curve. 149 patients (median age: 70 years) were included; 79 (53.0%) patients had sarcopenia and 112 (75.2%) had myosteatosis. The median AAS was 560.9 (interquartile range: 55.7-1478.3)/m2. The prognostic factors for CKD progression were myosteatosis [odds ratio (OR) = 4.31, p = 0.013] and high AAS (OR = 1.03, p = 0.001). Skeletal muscle density [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.93, p = 0.004] or myosteatosis (HR = 4.87, p = 0.032) and high AAS (HR = 1.02, p = 0.001) were independent factors for poor survival outcomes. The presence of myosteatosis and the high burden of aortic calcium were significant factors for CKD progression and survival in patients with non-dialysis CKD.

Abstract
Objective The lifetime occurrence rate of kidney stones is 14%, making it one of the most prevalent urological conditions. Other contributing elements, such as obesity, diabetes, diet, and heredity, are also taken into account. Our research sought to explore the potential link between high visceral fat scores (METS-VF) and the occurrence of kidney stones, as a means of understanding how to prevent them. Methods This research utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), mirroring the demographics of the United States. We carried out an in-depth analysis of the connection between METS-VF and kidney stones, based on data from 29,246 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey spanning 2007 to 2018, involving logistic regression, segmentation, and dose-response curve analysis. Results Our study of 29,246 potential participants found that METS-VF was positively associated with the prevalence and progression of kidney stones. After subgroup analysis by gender, race, blood pressure, and blood glucose, our results showed that the ORs for METS-VF and kidney stones were (1.49, 1.44) in males and females, respectively; while in Mexicans, whites, blacks, and In other populations, the OR values were (1.33, 1.43, 1.54, 1.86); in hypertensive and normal populations, the OR values were (1.23, 1.48); in diabetic patients and normoglycemic patients were (1.36,1.43). This proves that it works for all groups of people. Summary Our studies demonstrate a strong connection between METS-FV and the emergence of kidney stones. It would be beneficial to investigate METS-VF as a marker for kidney stone development and progression in light of these findings.

Effect of the interaction between the visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio and aldosterone on cardiac function in patients with primary aldosteronism. Hypertens Res 2023; 46:1132-1144. [PMID: 36754972 DOI: 10.1038/s41440-023-01170-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2022] [Revised: 12/14/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 02/10/2023]
Abstract
Primary aldosteronism is the most frequent secondary hypertensive disease and is characterized by an elevated risk for cardiovascular disease. The current standard treatments are adrenalectomy and/or administration of mineralocorticoid receptor blockers, both of which are effective at ameliorating hypertension via intervention for hyperaldosteronism. However, both of these approaches have side effects and contraindications, and mineralocorticoid receptor blockers also have limited preventive efficacy against cardiovascular events. Recently, in vitro experiments have shown that aldosterone regulation is closely related to abdominal fat accumulation and that there is crosstalk between aldosterone and visceral fat tissue accumulation. We previously reported that this interaction was clinically significant in renal dysfunction; however, its effects on the heart remain unclear. Here, we analyzed data from 49 patients with primary aldosteronism and 29 patients with essential hypertension to examine the potential effect of the interaction between the ratio of visceral-to-subcutaneous fat tissue volume and the plasma aldosterone concentration on echocardiographic indices, including the tissue Doppler-derived E/e' ratio. A significant interaction was found in patients with primary aldosteronism (p < 0.05), indicating that patients with the combination of a high plasma aldosterone concentration and high visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio show an increased E/e' ratio, which is a well-known risk factor for future cardiovascular events. Our results confirm the clinical importance of the interaction between aldosterone and abdominal fat tissue, suggesting that an improvement in the visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio may be synergistically and complementarily effective in reducing the elevated risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with primary aldosteronism when combined with conventional therapies for reducing aldosterone activity. A significant effect of the interaction between plasma aldosterone concentration and the visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio on the tissue Doppler-derived E/e' ratio in patients with primary aldosteronism.

Abstract
Visceral adipose tissue plays a central role in obesity and metabolic syndrome and is an independent risk factor for both cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. Increased visceral adipose tissue promotes adipokine dysregulation and insulin resistance, leading to several health issues, including systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Moreover, an increase in adipose tissue directly and indirectly affects the kidneys by increasing renal sodium reabsorption, causing glomerular hyperfiltration and hypertrophy, which leads to increased proteinuria and kidney fibrosis/dysfunction. Although the interest in the adverse effects of obesity on renal diseases has grown exponentially in recent years, the relationship between obesity and renal prognosis remains controversial. This may be attributed to the long clinical course of obesity, numerous obesity-related metabolic complications, and patients' attributes. Multiple individual attributes influencing the pathophysiology of fat accumulation make it difficult to understand obesity. In such cases, it may be effective to elucidate the pathophysiology by conducting research tailored to individual attributes from the perspective of attribute-based medicine/personalized medicine. We consider the appropriate use of clinical indicators necessary, according to attributes such as chronic kidney disease stage, level of visceral adipose tissue accumulation, age, and sex. Selecting treatments and clinical indicators based on individual attributes will allow for advancements in the clinical management of patients with obesity and chronic kidney disease. In the clinical setting of obesity-related nephropathy, it is first necessary to accumulate attribute-based studies resulting from the accurate evaluation of visceral fat accumulation to establish evidence for promoting personalized medicine.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Central obesity is closely linked to the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aimed to evaluate the association between the novel central obesity index- metabolic score for visceral fat (METS-VF) and the risk of CKD in a Chinese population, and to compare its ability to predict CKD with other central obesity indices including waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), lipid accumulation product (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI), a body shape index (ABSI), body roundness index (BRI), and cardiometabolic index (CMI). METHODS This cross-sectional study included 8866 individuals from China. Demographic information, lifestyle data, and medical history data were collected, and physical examinations, anthropometric measurements and laboratory tests were performed for each participant. CKD was defined as an estimated GFR< 60 ml/min/1.73m2. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between the METS-VF and the prevalence of CKD. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were performed to assess and compare the predictive abilities of the central obesity indices and determine the optimal cut-off points. RESULTS A graded increase in the prevalence of CKD was observed with increasing METS-VF tertiles. Moreover, the METS-VF was independently associated with the risk of CKD after adjustment for current smoking, current drinking, physical activity level, diabetes, hypertension, CVD history and BMI. Compared with participants with a METS-VF in the lowest tertile, the multivariate-adjusted ORs and 95% CIs for participants with a METS-VF in the highest tertile were 3.943 (2.435-6.385) in the overall population, 3.585 (1.585-8.109) for men and 4.627 (2.485-8.616) for women. Significant interactions were found between the METS-VF and the risk of CKD by age (P value for interaction = 0.023). In ROC analysis, the METS-VF had a higher AUC value than other indices for predicting CKD in men and had comparable or higher AUC than other indices for women. For predicting CKD, the optimal cut-off value of the METS-VF was 6.891 for men and 6.744 for women. The METS-VF yielded the greatest Youden index among all indices for both sexes. CONCLUSION A higher METS-VF was independently associated with a greater risk of CKD. The METS-VF can be a useful clinical indicator for identifying CKD, as it had superior predictive power for CKD when compared with other central obesity indices.

Abstract
Longitudinal studies evaluating the association between visceral fat area (VFA) and kidney function decline in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are limited, and little is known about VFA interactions contributing to the kidney prognosis (e.g. interactions between VFA ≥ 100 cm2 and age, sex, and CKD category). In this study, we stratified patients with CKD according to VFA category, as well as age, sex, CKD category, hyperglycemia, and diabetes mellitus, and determined the ability of obesity-related indicators (body mass index, waist circumference, subcutaneous fat area, visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio) to predict the renal prognosis. Kidney outcomes (≥ 50% estimated glomerular filtration rate decline or end-stage kidney disease) were examined in 200 patients with CKD (median follow-up, 12.3 years). On multivariable Cox analysis, an increase in VFA (10-cm2 increase) was significantly associated with kidney outcomes in the entire cohort, and VFA was significantly associated with kidney disease progression even in the VFA < 100 cm2 sub-cohort. Interestingly, the hazard ratio (HR) was higher for VFA (10-cm2 increase) than for the VFA ≥ 100 cm2 sub-cohort (HR 1.33 vs. 1.07). Overall, VFA was found to be the most versatile obesity-related indicator associated with kidney disease progression. VFA was associated with the primary outcome in the sub-cohorts of CKD stages 1-2, hyperglycemia, and diabetes mellitus. A high VFA was a significant kidney prognostic factor in the entire CKD cohort, with greater significance in patients with VFA < 100 cm2 than in patients with VFA ≥ 100 cm2. Our results may provide new insights into strategies for treating CKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some studies have reported that chronic kidney disease (CKD) or the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is significantly associated with metabolic abnormalities. METHODS Six hundred forty-six community residents aged 45-60 years without overt renal dysfunction were recruited in this cross-sectional study. eGFR was estimated by serum creatinine measurement. The visceral fat area (VFA) and subcutaneous fat area (SFA) were assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The body mass index (BMI) and waist-hip ratio (WHR) were also evaluated. Additionally, we tested the subjects' blood lipid levels to diagnose dyslipidemia. RESULTS Compared with the subjects with neither dyslipidemia nor obesity, men with both dyslipidemia and high obesity indices, such as BMI, WHR and VFA, showed a significantly lower mean eGFR; women with dyslipidemia with high WHR, VFA or SFA also showed a significantly lower mean eGFR. Although an independent association between the metabolic variables and eGFR was not found except for BMI, some of the combined effects of each variable were related to eGFR decline. Comorbidity of dyslipidemia and high WHR was significant risk factor for eGFR reduction (β -8.805, SD 4.116, p < 0.05). Additionally, comorbidity of dyslipidemia and high obesity indices such as BMI (β -12.942, SD 5.268, p < 0.05) and VFA (β -7.069, SD 3.394, p < 0.05) were significant risk factors for eGFR reduction in men. CONCLUSION The combined effect of dyslipidemia and high obesity indices is significantly related to the decline in eGFR. The association is more profound in men.

Association of the ratio of visceral-to-subcutaneous fat volume with renal function among patients with primary aldosteronism. Hypertens Res 2021; 44:1341-1351. [PMID: 34363052 PMCID: PMC8490149 DOI: 10.1038/s41440-021-00719-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2021] [Revised: 06/16/2021] [Accepted: 07/08/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Patients with primary aldosteronism have a higher risk of chronic kidney disease. Visceral fat tissue is hypothesized to stimulate the adrenal glands to overproduce aldosterone, and aldosterone promotes visceral fat tissue to produce inflammatory cytokines. However, it is unclear whether the volume of accumulated visceral fat tissue is associated with renal impairment among patients with hyperaldosteronism. We conducted a single-center cross-sectional study to assess the association between the estimated glomerular filtration rate and the ratio of the visceral-to-subcutaneous fat volume calculated by computed tomography. One hundred eighty patients with primary aldosteronism were enrolled. The mean ± SD age was 52.7 ± 11.0 years, and 60.0% were women. The ratio of visceral-to-subcutaneous fat volume was highly correlated with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (r = 0.49, p < 0.001). In multiple linear regression models, the ratio of visceral-to-subcutaneous fat tissue volume was significantly associated with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (estimates: -4.56 mL/min/1.73 m² per 1-SD), and there was an interaction effect between the plasma aldosterone concentration and the ratio of visceral-to-subcutaneous fat volume (p < 0.05). The group with a higher plasma aldosterone concentration exhibited a steeper decline in eGFR than the lower plasma aldosterone concentration group when the ratio increased. The ratio of visceral-to-subcutaneous fat tissue volume was an independent risk factor for renal dysfunction. This association increased in the presence of a high plasma aldosterone concentration. Clinicians should pay attention to the ratio of visceral-to-subcutaneous fat tissue volume and encourage primary aldosteronism patients to improve their lifestyle in addition to treating renin-aldosterone activity.
