Heo GY, Koh HB, Jung CY, Park JT, Han SH, Yoo TH, Kang SW, Kim HW. Difference Between Estimated GFR Based on Cystatin C Versus Creatinine and Incident Atrial Fibrillation: A Cohort Study of the UK Biobank. Am J Kidney Dis 2024; 83:729-738.e1. [PMID: 38171411 DOI: 10.1053/j.ajkd.2023.11.004] [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: 07/01/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE The difference between cystatin C-based and creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRdiff) has been suggested to reflect factors distinct from kidney function that are associated with cardiovascular risk. However, the association between eGFRdiff and atrial fibrillation (AF) risk has not been extensively evaluated. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS Using data from the UK Biobank, this study included 363,494 participants with measured serum creatinine and cystatin C levels and without a prior diagnosis of AF or a history of related procedures. EXPOSURE Estimated GFRdiff, calculated as cystatin C-based eGFR minus creatinine-based eGFR. Estimated GFRdiff was also categorized as negative (<-15mL/min/1.73m2), midrange (-15 to 15mL/min/1.73m2), or positive (≥15mL/min/1.73m2). OUTCOME Incident AF. ANALYTICAL APPROACH Subdistribution hazard models were fit, treating death that occurred before development of AF as a competing event. RESULTS During the median follow-up period of 11.7 years, incident AF occurred in 18,994 (5.2%) participants. In the multivariable-adjusted model, participants with a negative eGFRdiff had a higher risk of incident AF (subdistribution HR [SHR], 1.25 [95% CI, 1.20-1.30]), whereas participants with a positive eGFRdiff had a lower risk of AF (SHR, 0.81 [95% CI, 0.77-0.87]) compared with those with a midrange eGFRdiff. When eGFRdiff was treated as a continuous variable in the adjusted model, every 10mL/min/1.73m2 higher eGFRdiff was associated with a 0.90-fold decrease in the risk of incident AF. LIMITATIONS A single measurement of baseline serum creatinine and cystatin C levels. CONCLUSIONS The difference between cystatin C- and creatinine-based eGFRs was associated with the risk of AF development. A higher eGFRdiff was associated with a lower risk of AF. These findings may have implications for the management of patients at risk of incident AF. PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY The difference between cystatin C-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and creatinine-based eGFR has recently gained attention as a potential indicator of cardiovascular outcomes influenced by factors other than kidney function. This study investigated the association between the differences in 2 eGFRs (cystatin C-based eGFR minus creatinine-based eGFR) and incident atrial fibrillation (AF) among>340,000 participants from the UK Biobank Study. Compared with those with a near zero eGFR difference, participants with a negative eGFR difference had a higher risk of AF, while those with a positive eGFR difference had a lower risk. These findings suggest that measuring eGFR differences may help identify individuals at a higher risk of developing AF.

Abstract
Background Detection of appropriate indicators is valuable for preventing incidental osteoporotic fractures. We statistically evaluated the significance of serum cystatin C-to-creatinine ratio (CysC/Cr) as a surrogate marker for incident major osteoporotic fractures (MOF) prediction. Methods Eligible patients with simultaneous measurement of CysC/Cr and bone mineral density in the lumbar spine and proximal femur were selected, and their fracture histories until 5 years after baseline were observed in the retrospective area cohort data. Patients who were followed up until termination or the first osteoporotic fracture were included, and loss of follow-up or death was excluded. Candidate risk factors for osteoporotic fractures were tested for risk ratios using a cox regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic tests were performed on factors with significantly higher risk ratios and evaluated with Kaplan-Meier survival analysis to determine the hazard ratios of the factors. Results A total of 175 patients of whom 28 had incident MOF, 38 men, and 137 women, were enrolled. The mean age was 70.2 years. A significantly higher risk ratio was shown in the presence of prevalent MOF, hyper fall-ability, lifestyle-related diseases, chronic kidney diseases ≥ Grade3a, and higher CysC/Cr. All parameters had cutoff indices and showed significantly higher hazard ratios. Conclusions These results suggested that CysC/Cr may be a predictive marker of incident osteoporotic fractures. It might work as a screening tool for MOF risk.

Abstract
A selective decrease in the renal filtration of larger molecules is attributed to the shrinkage of glomerular pores, a condition termed Shrunken Pore Syndrome (SPS). SPS is associated with poor long-term prognosis. We studied SPS as a risk marker in a cohort of patients with COVID-19 treated in an intensive care unit. SPS was defined as a ratio < 0.7 when the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), determined by cystatin C, calculated by the Cystatin C Caucasian-Asian-Pediatric-Adult equation (CAPA), was divided by the eGFR determined by creatinine, calculated by the revised Lund−Malmö creatinine equation (LMR). Clinical data were prospectively collected. In total, SPS was present in 86 (24%) of 352 patients with COVID-19 on ICU admission. Patients with SPS had a higher BMI, Simplified Physiology Score (SAPS3), and had diabetes and/or hypertension more frequently than patients without SPS. Ninety-nine patients in the total cohort were women, 50 of whom had SPS. In dexamethasone-naïve patients, C-reactive protein (CRP ), TNF-alpha, and interleukin-6 did not differ between SPS and non-SPS patients. Demographic factors (gender, BMI) and illness severity (SAPS3) were independent predictors of SPS. Age and dexamethasone treatment did not affect the frequency of SPS after adjustments for age, sex, BMI, and acute severity. SPS is frequent in severely ill COVID-19 patients. Female gender was associated with a higher proportion of SPS. Demographic factors and illness severity were independent predictors of SPS.

Shrunken Pore Syndrome Is Associated with Renal Function Decline in Female Patients with Kidney Diseases. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:2177991. [PMID: 35845935 PMCID: PMC9283046 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2177991] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
Background Shrunken pore syndrome (SPS) represents selective impairment of kidney filtration of low-molecular-weight molecules between 1 and 30 kDa and has been related to outcomes including morbidity, mortality, and cardiovascular events. However, the prevalence and kidney outcomes of SPS have not been investigated in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and membranous nephropathy (MN). Methods We retrospectively collected information of 536 patients including 414 with IgAN and 122 with MN. SPS was mainly defined by cystatin C-based eGFR < 70% of creatinine-based eGFR using the CAPA-LM equation pairs, while CKD-EPI equations were also employed in sensitivity analyses. Prevalence rate of SPS and its association with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or severe eGFR decline (≥50% eGFR reduction or doubling of baseline creatinine) were investigated. Results 44% (8%) patients were identified as possessing SPS using the CAPA-LM definition. ESRD happened in 24 patients during the average follow-up period of 27.7 months. Despite dramatic increase of incidence rate of ESRD for SPS, significant hazard ratio (HR) only existed in IgAN patients after multivariable adjustment (HR: 8.35, 95% CI: 2.10~33.26), but lost significance in sensitivity analyses. 36 patients were determined as having experienced severe eGFR decline after excluding transient creatinine fluctuation. SPS was associated with severe eGFR decline by Kaplan-Meier survival analyses in the overall population as well as the IgAN, MN, male, and female subpopulations, which remained significant in multivariable adjustments in all groups except IgAN. However, only in female patients the association between SPS and eGFR decline remained significant in all the sensitivity analyses. Conclusions SPS was independently associated with eGFR decline in female patients with IgAN and MN.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the relationship between creatinine and cystatin C based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in actively working sugarcane cutters. METHODS This cohort study included 458 sugarcane cutters from Nicaragua and El Salvador. Serum samples were taken before and at end of harvest seasons and analysed for creatinine and cystatin C. Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) formulas were used to calculate eGFRs based on creatinine (eGFRcr), cystatin C (eGFRcys) and both creatinine and cystatin C (eGFRcrcys) at each time point. Bland-Altman plots and paired t-tests were used to compare the difference between eGFRcr and eGFRcys, and the difference in eGFRs between before and at end of the harvest seasons. RESULTS The mean eGFRcr was higher than eGFRcys in both cohorts; absolute difference 22 mL/min/1.73 m2 (95% CI 21 to 23) in Nicaragua and 13 mL/min/1.73 m2 (95% CI 11 to 15) in El Salvador. Correlations between eGFRcr and eGFRcys were high, with r=0.69, 0.77 and 0.67 in Nicaragua at pre-harvest, end-harvest and cross-harvest, and r=0.89, 0.89 and 0.49 in El Salvador. CONCLUSIONS Creatinine increases among heat-stressed workers reflect reduced glomerular filtration as estimated using eGFRcys, a marker independent of muscle mass and metabolism. The discrepancy between eGFRcr and eGFRcys may indicate reduced glomerular filtration of larger molecules and/or systemic bias in CKD-EPI performance in this population.

Abstract
Background Serum creatinine and cystatin C are not only good indicators of renal function but have also been confirmed to be related to disease prognosis and mortality in various diseases via creatinine/cystatin C ratio (CCR). However, although they are biomarkers of renal function, there is no study regarding renal impairment as a confounding variable in the relationship between CCR and all-cause mortality. Methods Patients who had simultaneous measurements of serum creatinine and cystatin C between 2003 and 2020 were enrolled. The patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) were defined as having an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) CKD-EPI Cr-Cystatin C < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2. CCR was calculated by dividing the serum creatinine level by the cystatin C level measured on the same day. The main outcome assessed was all-cause mortality according to CCR in CKD or non-CKD groups. Results Among the 8,680 patients in whom creatinine and cystatin C levels were measured simultaneously, 4,301 were included in the CKD group, and 4,379 were included in the non-CKD group, respectively. CCR was 1.4 ± 0.6 in total participants. The non-CKD group showed higher mean CCR, (1.5 ± 0.7 vs. 1.3 ± 0.5) as well as a wider distribution of CCR (p < 0.001) when compared to the CKD group. In non-CKD group, 1st, 4th and 5th quintiles of CCR significantly increased the all-cause mortality risk compared to 2nd quintile of CCR, suggesting U-shaped mortality risk according to CCR in non-CKD. On the other hand, in CKD group, the risk of all-cause mortality linearly increased and 5th quintile of CCR showed 1.82 times risk of mortality compared to 2nd quintile of CCR. In the subgroup analysis of mortality by age and sex, the mortality difference according to CCR were diminished in old age and female sex subgroups. Conclusion We discovered a U-shaped relationship between mortality and CCR levels in normal renal function, and an increased risk of mortality in CKD with elevated CCR.

Abstract
Deranged renal filtration of mid-sized (5-30 kDa) compared to smaller molecules (< 0.9 kDa) results in increased plasma levels of cystatin C (cysC) compared to creatinine resulting in a low eGFRcysC/eGFRcrea ratio. A ratio below 0.6 or 0.7, is termed shrunken pore syndrome (SPS), which in patient based studies is associated with mortality. Reference values for eGFRcysC/eGFRcrea ratio, the prevalence of SPS and the consequence of low eGFRcysC/eGFRcrea ratio in the general, elderly population are unknown. 75-yr old women (n = 849) from the population-based OPRA cohort, followed for 10-years had eGFR calculated with CKD-EPI study equation, and eGFRcysC/eGFRcrea ratio calculated. Mortality risk (HR [95% CI]) was estimated. Women with sarcopenia or on glucocorticoids were excluded. Almost 1 in 10 women (9%) had eGFRcysC/eGFRcrea ratio < 0.6 at age 75 and this did not increase appreciably with age. Women with ratio < 0.6 had higher 10-yr mortality risk compared with ratios > 0.9 (HRadj 1.6 [95% CI 1.1-2.5]). In elderly women eGFRcysC/eGFRcrea ratio < 0.6 is common and associated with increased mortality. Our results confirm patient-based findings, suggesting that identifying individuals with SPS may be clinically relevant to assessing mortality risk in the elderly.

Abstract
Impaired renal function is associated both with the development of cardiovascular disease and its prognosis. A new syndrome called 'Shrunken Pore Syndrome' has been suggested, as the estimated glomerular filtration rate for cystatin C (eGFRcystatin C) is affected earlier due to differences in molecular size compared to eGFRcreatinine. The aim was to investigate if a lower eGFRcystatin C/eGFRcreatinine ratio in a prospective setting increases the risk of later developing a first-ever myocardial infarction (MI) independently of other cardiovascular risk factors. We used a nested case-referent study design within the Northern Sweden Health and Disease Study, and 545 subjects (29.0% women) were identified who prospectively developed a first-ever MI, and their 1054 matched referents. For women, but not for men, one standard deviation (SD) increase of ln z-scores of eGFRcystatin C/eGFRcreatinine ratio was associated with a lower risk of a future MI: odds ratio [95% confidence interval] 0.58 [0.34-0.99], adjusted for apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio, CRP, homocysteine, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, and diabetes. Furthermore, a high eGFRcreatinine associated independently with an increased risk of future MI in men only: OR 1.25 [1.05-1.48]. Thus, for women, a lower eGFRcystatin C/eGFRcreatinine ratio is associated with a higher risk of having a future first-ever MI, and it may be a valuable, easily implemented biomarker for risk of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal dysfunction can complicate home parenteral nutrition (HPN). The aims were, in the context of pediatric HPN, to assess renal function using the measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR), determine the most accurate formula(s) to estimate GFR, and identify possible underlying mechanisms of renal impairment. METHODS A retrospective study was performed in 2 centers. Patients receiving HPN and aged 2-16 years without medical history of nephropathy were included. GFR was measured using iohexol clearance. Estimated GFR (eGFR) was calculated using creatinine, cystatin C-based, and combined (eGFRcr+cyst ) Schwartz formulas. RESULTS A total of 36 patients (18 females) were included; they received HPN for 8 (2-16) years. The primary digestive disease was short-bowel syndrome for 16 (44%) patients, gastrointestinal motility disorder for 10 (28%), or congenital diarrhea for 10 (28%). The median (range) mGFR was 99 (33-136) ml/min/1.73 m2 ; 9 (25%) patients had mildly decreased mGFR (<90 and ≥60 ml/min/1.73 m2 ), and 2 (6%) had mildly to severely decreased mGFR (<60 ml/min/1.73 m2 ). The eGFRcr+cyst formula was the most accurate and precise to estimate GFR. A significant negative correlation between mGFR and PN duration was found for patients receiving PN for 6-7/7 days (P = .008). Activation of the renin-angiotensin system was identified in 15 of 36 (42%) patients. CONCLUSION Renal dysfunction was frequent and correlated with the duration of PN only for patients with the most severe intestinal failure. The use of eGFRcr+cyst improves its detection in these patients. Chronic dehydration may be an underlying mechanism.

Abstract
Circulating cystatin C level has been identified as a predictor of adverse outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the value of circulating cystatin C level for predicting adverse outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We comprehensively searched articles indexed in Pubmed and Embase databases from their inceptions to 30 November 2019. All available observational studies that investigated the association between circulating cystatin C level and major adverse cardiovascular events [MACE] (including death, heart failure, re-infarction, target vascular revascularization, angina and stroke) or all-cause mortality in patients with ACS were included. The prognostic value was expressed by pooling the multivariable-adjusted hazard risk (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for the highest versus the lowest category of cystatin C level. Eleven eligible studies (12 articles) with 4600 ACS patients were identified. Meta-analysis indicated that the highest versus lowest category of cystatin C level was associated with higher risk of MACE (HR 2.28; 95% CI 1.92-2.71) and all-cause mortality (HR 2.89; 95% CI 1.43-5.83) after adjustment for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or creatinine. Subgroup analysis by subtypes of patients, study design, follow-up duration and cutoff level of cystatin C further confirmed the value of cystatin C level for predicting MACE. Elevated circulating cystatin C level at baseline is strongly and independently associated with an increased risk of MACE and all-cause mortality in patients with ACS. Determination of circulating cystatin C level has potential to improve risk stratification of ACS patients.

Pregnancy-induced changes in serum concentrations of perfluoroalkyl substances and the influence of kidney function. Environ Health 2020; 19:80. [PMID: 32641055 PMCID: PMC7346349 DOI: 10.1186/s12940-020-00626-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2020] [Accepted: 06/19/2020] [Indexed: 05/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiological associations between maternal concentrations of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and birth weight are inconsistent. There is concern that studies based on samples collected in late pregnancy may be confounded by kidney function but studies of the relation between pregnancy-induced changes in PFAS and kidney function are lacking. Our aims were to investigate changes in serum concentrations of perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHxS) from early to late pregnancy and to explore relations to changes in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and glomerular pore size. METHODS We conducted the study in a cohort of 73 pregnancies of normal-weight Swedish women without gestational diabetes and preeclampsia, enrolled 2009-2014. Blood was collected in median weeks 11 and 36, respectively, and analysed PFAS using liquid chromatography-tandem-mass-spectrometry. We estimated GFR based on creatinine and cystatin C and used the ratio eGFRcystatin C/eGFRcreatinine to indicate glomerular pore size. We used Wilcoxon signed-rank test to compare early and late measures and partial Spearman rank correlations to explore relations between changes in PFAS and kidney function. RESULTS Median concentrations of PFNA, PFOA and PFOS decreased by 15-21% but changes were uncorrelated to changes in kidney function (partial R = - 0.06-0.11). The observed increase in median PFHxS concentration of 69% was likely an artefact of systematic measurement error caused by coeluting endogenous inferences. CONCLUSIONS Serum concentrations of PFNA, PFOA and PFOS decrease during pregnancy but the magnitudes of change are unrelated to parallel changes in eGFR and glomerular pore size, suggesting that changes in these indicators of kidney function are not important confounders in studies of PFAS and birth weight in pregnancies without gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.
