A high level of thyroid-stimulating hormone is a risk factor for the development of chronic kidney disease in men: a 10-year cohort study. Hypertens Res 2024; 47:663-671. [PMID: 37845396 DOI: 10.1038/s41440-023-01453-1] [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: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 08/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/18/2023]
Abstract
Hypothyroidism has been reported to be associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the impact of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) on new onset of CKD and its gender dependence remain undetermined. We investigated the association of serum TSH level and the development of CKD defined by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or positive for urine protein in 28,990 Japanese subjects who received annual health examinations. After excluding subjects with no data for serum TSH, urinalysis and eGFR and those with CKD at baseline, a total of 10,392 subjects (men/women: 6802/3590, mean age: 48 years) were recruited. During a 10-year follow-up, 1185 men (6.7%) and 578 women (2.9%) newly developed CKD. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models after adjustment of age, body mass index, smoking habit, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, ischemic heart disease and eGFR (≥ 90 mL/min/1.73 m2) showed that the hazard ratio (HR) for the development of CKD in the high TSH (> 4.2 mU/L) group was significantly higher than that in the low TSH (≤ 4.2 mU/L) group in men (HR [95% confidence interval]: 1.41 [1.09-1.83]) but not in women (1.08 [0.77-1.51]). There was a significant interaction between sex and the category of TSH level for the development of CKD (p = 0.02). The adjusted HR with a restricted cubic spline increased with a higher level of TSH in men but not in women. In conclusion, a high level of TSH is associated with an increased risk for the development of CKD in men but not in women.

[PMID: 38185630 PMCID: PMC10773091 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-024-02004-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/01/2024] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lipid management in clinic is critical to the prevention and treatment of Chronic kidney disease (CKD), while the manifestations of lipid indicators vary in types and have flexible association with CKD prognosis. PURPOSE Explore the associations between the widely used indicators of lipid metabolism and their distribution in clinic and CKD prognosis; provide a reference for lipid management and inform treatment decisions for patients with non-dialysis CKD stage 3-5. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study utilizing the Self-Management Program for Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Cohort (SMP-CKD) database of 794 individuals with CKD stages 3-5. It covers demographic data, clinical diagnosis and medical history collection, laboratory results, circulating lipid profiles and lipid distribution assessments. Primary endpoint was defined as a composite outcome(the initiation of chronic dialysis or renal transplantation, sustained decline of 40% or more in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), doubled of serum creatinine (SCr) from the baseline, eGFR less than 5 mL/min/1.73m2, or all-cause mortality). Exposure variables were circulating lipid profiles and lipid distribution measurements. Association were assessed using Relative risks (RRs) (95% confidence intervals (CIs)) computed by multivariate Poisson models combined with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression according to categories of lipid manifestations. The best model was selected via akaike information criterion (AIC), area under curve (AUC), receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and net reclassification index (NRI). Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were performed to assess the interaction effects and robustness.. RESULTS 255 individuals reached the composite outcome. Median follow-up duration was 2.03 [1.06, 3.19] years. Median age was 58.8 [48.7, 67.2] years with a median eGFR of 33.7 [17.6, 47.8] ml/min/1.73 m2. Five dataset were built after multiple imputation and five category-based Possion models were constructed for each dataset. Model 5 across five datasets had the best fitness with smallest AIC and largest AUC. The pooled results of Model 5 showed that total cholesterol (TC) (RR (95%CI) (per mmol/L) :1.143[1.023,1.278], P = 0.018) and percentage of body fat (PBF) (RR (95%CI) (per percentage):0.976[0.961,0.992], P = 0.003) were significant factors of composite outcome. The results indicated that comprehensive consideration of lipid metabolism and fat distribution is more critical in the prediction of CKD prognosis.. CONCLUSION Comprehensive consideration of lipid manifestations is optimal in predicting the prognosis of individuals with non-dialysis CKD stages 3-5.

An increase in calculated small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol predicts new onset of hypertension in a Japanese cohort. Hypertens Res 2023; 46:2635-2645. [PMID: 37532953 DOI: 10.1038/s41440-023-01392-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 07/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023]
Abstract
A disorder of lipid metabolism is involved in cardiovascular diseases including hypertension. A high level of small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (sdLDL-C) is a strong risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. However, the association between sdLDL-C and hypertension has not been fully investigated. We investigated the associations between the development of hypertension during a 10-year period and levels of total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), non-HDL-C, triglycerides (TG), and LDL-C and sdLDL-C calculated by using the Sampson equations in 28,990 Japanese subjects who received annual health examinations. After exclusion of subjects with missing data, those with hypertension, and those with TG ≥ 800 mg/dL at baseline, a total of 15,177 subjects (men/women: 9374/5803, mean age: 46 years) were recruited. During the 10-year period, 2379 men (25.4%) and 724 women (12.5%) had new onset of hypertension. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard model analyses showed that levels of HDL-C, non-HDL-C, TG and sdLDL-C, but not levels of TC and LDL-C, were independent risk factors for the development of hypertension after adjustment of age, sex, family history of hypertension, systolic blood pressure, obesity, current smoking habit, alcohol drinking habit, estimated glomerular filtration rate, diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and use of lipid-lowering drugs and that the adjusted risk of sdLDL-C (per 1-standard deviation) was highest (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval: 1.09 [1.05-1.13]). The addition of sdLDL-C to traditional risk factors for hypertension significantly improved the discriminatory capability, which was better than that of other lipid fractions. In conclusion, a high level of calculated sdLDL-C predicts the development of hypertension.

Relationship of serum lipid parameters with kidney function decline accompanied by systemic arterial stiffness: a retrospective cohort study. Clin Kidney J 2023; 16:2289-2298. [PMID: 37915913 PMCID: PMC10616449 DOI: 10.1093/ckj/sfad131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Dyslipidemia is associated with kidney function decline (KFD), although the non-linear relationship of lipid parameters to KFD has not been fully elucidated. We aimed to determine the detailed relationship of baseline lipid parameters with KFD, considering the mediation of arterial stiffness. Methods A total of 27 864 urban residents with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at baseline, who participated in a median of three (range two to eight) consecutive annual health examinations were studied. Arterial stiffness was assessed by cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI). KFD was defined as development of eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Results During the study period, 1837 participants (6.6%) developed KFD. Receiver operating characteristic analysis determined that the cutoff values independently associated with KFD are 123 mg/dL for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) [area under the curve (95% confidence interval) 0.570 (0.557-0.583)], 65 mg/dL for high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) [0.552 (0.539-0.566)], 82 mg/dL for triglycerides (TG) [0.606 (0.593-0.618)] and 1.28 for TG/HDL-C ratio [0.600 (0.587-0.612)]. These cut-offs were independently associated with KFD in Cox analysis. Regarding the contribution of each lipid parameter to KFD, a linear relationship was observed for both TG and TG/HDL-C, and a U-shaped relationship for HDL-C. A adjusted mediating effect of CAVI on the relationship of TG or TG/HDL-C ratio with KFD was observed (mediating rate: 2.9% in TG, 2.5% in TG/HDL-C ratio). Regarding the association to KFD, a linear relationship was observed for both TG and TG/HDL-C, and a U-shaped relationship for HDL-C. A mediating effect of CAVI on the relationship of TG or TG/HDL-C ratio with KFD was observed after adjustment for confounders. Conclusions TG and TG/HDL-C ratio related linearly to KFD and this was partially mediated by CAVI. A U-shaped relationship was observed between HDL-C and KFD risk. LDL-C showed no significant association. Further study should investigate whether intensive TG-lowering treatment prevents KFD via decreasing CAVI.

Coexistence of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease and Chronic Kidney Disease Is a More Potent Risk Factor for Ischemic Heart Disease. J Am Heart Assoc 2023:e030269.

Abstract
Background Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), defined as fatty liver with overweight/obesity, type 2 diabetes, or metabolic abnormalities, is a newly proposed disease. However, it remains unclear whether the coexistence of MAFLD and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a more potent risk factor for ischemic heart disease (IHD). Methods and Results We investigated the risk of the combination of MAFLD and CKD for development of IHD during a 10-year follow-up period in 28 990 Japanese subjects who received annual health examinations. After exclusion of subjects without data for abdominal ultrasonography or with the presence of IHD at baseline, a total of 14 141 subjects (men/women: 9195/4946; mean age, 48 years) were recruited. During the 10-year period (mean, 6.9 years), 479 subjects (men/women, 397/82) had new onset of IHD. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed significant differences in rates of the cumulative incidence of IHD in subjects with and those without MAFLD (n=4581) and CKD (n=990; stages 1/2/3/4-5, 198/398/375/19). Multivariable Cox proportional hazard model analyses showed that coexistence of MAFLD and CKD, but not MAFLD or CKD alone, was an independent predictor for development of IHD after adjustment for age, sex, current smoking habit, family history of IHD, overweight/obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia (hazard ratio, 1.51 [95% CI, 1.02-2.22]). The addition of the combination of MAFLD and CKD to traditional risk factors for IHD significantly improved the discriminatory capability. Conclusions The coexistence of MAFLD and CKD predicts new onset of IHD better than does MAFLD or CKD alone.

Glomerular expression and urinary excretion of fatty acid-binding protein 4 in IgA nephropathy. J Nephrol 2023; 36:385-395. [PMID: 36622635 DOI: 10.1007/s40620-022-01551-2] [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: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 12/03/2022] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) is secreted from adipocytes and macrophages in adipose tissue and acts as an adipokine. It has recently been reported that FABP4, but not liver-type FABP (L-FABP/FABP1), is also expressed in injured glomerular endothelial cells and infiltrating macrophages in the glomerulus and that urinary FABP4 (U-FABP4) is associated with proteinuria and kidney function impairment in nephrotic patients. However, the link between glomerular FABP4 and U-FABP4 has not been fully addressed in IgA nephropathy (IgAN). METHODS We investigated the involvement of FABP4 in human and mouse IgAN. RESULTS In patients with IgAN (n = 23), the ratio of FABP4-positive area to total area within glomeruli (G-FABP4-Area) and U-FABP4 were positively correlated with proteinuria and were negatively correlated with eGFR. In 4-28-week-old male grouped ddY mice, a spontaneous IgAN-prone mouse model, FABP4 was detected in glomerular endothelial cells and macrophages, and G-FABP4-Area was positively correlated with urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (r = 0.957, P < 0.001). Endoplasmic reticulum stress markers were detected in glomeruli of human and mouse IgAN. In human renal glomerular endothelial cells, FABP4 was induced by treatment with vascular endothelial growth factor and was secreted from the cells. Treatment of human renal glomerular endothelial cells or mouse podocytes with palmitate-bound recombinant FABP4 significantly increased gene expression of inflammatory cytokines and endoplasmic reticulum stress markers, and the effects of FABP4 in podocytes were attenuated in the presence of an anti-FABP4 antibody. CONCLUSION FABP4 in the glomerulus contributes to proteinuria in IgAN, and U-FABP4 level is a useful surrogate biomarker for glomerular damage in IgAN.

Abstract
Background The prevalence of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) seems to be higher in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) than that in the general population. However, whether there exists a causal relationship between T1DM and IgAN remains unknown. Methods This study conducted a standard two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to assess the causal inference by four MR methods, and the inverse variance-weighted (IVW) approach was selected as the primary method. To further test the independent causal effect of T1DM on IgAN, multivariable MR (MVMR) analysis was undertaken. Sensitivity analyses incorporating multiple complementary MR methods were applied to evaluate how strong the association was and identify potential pleiotropy. Results MR analyses utilized 81 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for T1DM. The evidence supports a significant causal relationship between T1DM and increased risk of IgAN [odds ratio (OR): 1.39, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.10-1.74 for IVW, p < 0.05]. The association still exists after adjusting for triglyceride (TG), fasting insulin (FI), fasting blood glucose (FBG), homeostasis model assessment of beta-cell function (HOMA-B) and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). MVMR analysis indicated that the effect of T1DM on IgAN vanished upon accounting for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c; OR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.90-1.05, p > 0.05). Conclusions This MR study provided evidence that T1DM may be a risk factor for the onset of IgAN, which might be driven by LDL-c. Lipid-lowering strategies targeting LDL-c should be enhanced in patients with T1DM to prevent IgAN.
