Abstract
PURPOSE Herein, we investigated the correlation between urinary calcium excretion (UCaE) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS From August 2018 to January 2023, a total of 2031 T2DM patients providing 24-h urine samples were included in the final analyses. Patients were separated into four cohorts, based on the UCaE quartiles. We then analyzed renal functional indicators like estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin excretion (UAE) among the four groups. Lastly, we utilized multivariable logistic regression models to investigate the correlation between UCaE and CKD. RESULTS After adjusting for confounding factors, we observed a decreasing trend in CKD prevalence (36.3%, 13.0%, 7.5%, and 6.6%, respectively, P < 0.001) across the UCaE quartiles. Albuminuria (55.5% vs. 40.0%, 36.5%, 37.4%) and macroalbuminuria prevalence (20.0% vs. 9.3%, 5.2%, 5.7%) in the lowest quartile were markedly elevated, compared to the remaining three quartiles (P < 0.001). Meanwhile, the eGFR level (P < 0.001) showed a clearly increasing trend across the UCaE quartiles, and patients with moderate-to-severe decreases in eGFR levels (with cutoff limits at 30-59, 15-30, and < 15 mL/min/1.73m2) were mostly found in the lowest quartile (P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed that patients in the lowest quartile experienced an enhanced prevalence of CKD, relative to those in the highest quartile (odds ratio: 5.90, 95% confidence interval: 3.60-9.67, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Decreased UCaE was independently associated with the CKD prevalence in T2DM patients.

[PMID: 38027217 PMCID: PMC10654620 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1244647] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Context Although renal long-term complications are acknowledged in chronic hypoparathyroidism (HPT), standardized investigations are scarce. Objective To systematically investigate renal complications and their predictors in hypoparathyroid patients compared to matched individuals. Design Prospective observational study in 161 patients with chronic HPT. Methods Patients received renal ultrasound, clinical and laboratory assessments. An individual 1:3 matching with participants from the German population-based Study of Health in Pomerania was performed. Results Of 161 patients (92% postoperative HPT), prevalence of eGFR <60ml/min/1.73m2 was 21%, hypercalciuria 41%. Compared to healthy individuals, HPT patients had a significantly lower eGFR (74.2 vs. 95.7 ml/min/1.73m², p<0.01). Renal ultrasound revealed calcifications in 10% (nephrocalcinosis in 7% and calculi in 3%). Patients with renal calcifications had higher levels of 24-hour urine calcium excretion (8.34 vs. 5.08 mmol/d, p=0.02), spot urine calcium excretion (4.57 vs. 2.01 mmol/L, p=0.01) and urine calcium-to-creatinine ratio (0.25 vs. 0.16, p<0.01) than patients without calcifications. Albumin-corrected calcium, phosphate, calcium-phosphate product, 25-hydroxyvitamin D in serum, eGFR, daily calcium intake or disease duration were not significantly different between these two groups. Including patients receiving rhPTH therapy, a lower serum phosphate concentration (odds ratio 1.364 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.049-1.776], p<0.05) and a longer disease duration of HPT (odds ratio 1.063 [95% CI 1.021-1.106], p<0.01) were significant predictors for renal calcifications. Excluding patients receiving rhPTH therapy, a higher 24-hour urine calcium excretion (odds ratio 1.215 [95% CI 1.058-1.396], p<0.01) was a significant predictor for renal calcifications but not serum magnesium or disease duration. Conclusions Prevalence of impaired renal function among patients with chronic HPT is increased and independent from visible renal calcifications. Depending on exclusion of patients with rhPTH therapy, regression analysis revealed disease duration and serum phosphate or disease duration and 24-hour urinary calcium excretion as predictors for renal calcifications. Clin Trials Identifier NCT05585593.

[PMID: 37510715 PMCID: PMC10380443 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12144600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
This study investigated the impact of 24-h urinary calcium excretion (UCaE) on renal function decline in hospitalized patients with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study enrolled 3815 CKD patients in stages 1-4 and 1133 non-CKD patients admitted to the First Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital between January 2014 and July 2022. The primary outcome for CKD patients was a composite of CKD progression, defined as a 40% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or end-stage kidney disease. Annual eGFR change was the secondary outcome. For non-CKD patients, the primary outcome was an eGFR decline of ≥20% or CKD incidence, while annual eGFR change was the secondary outcome. The association between UCaE and kidney function decline was assessed using Cox proportional hazards and generalized linear models. Primary outcomes were observed in 813 CKD patients and 109 non-CKD patients over a median follow-up of 3.0 and 4.1 years, respectively. For CKD patients, every 1-mmol/d increase in UCaE was associated with a 15% decreased risk of CKD progression. The hazard ratio (HR) was 0.85, with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.77-0.93. For non-CKD patients, the risk of renal function decline decreased by 11%. The multivariate models indicated that there was an annual decrease in eGFR in both CKD and non-CKD patients, with a reduction of 0.122 mL/min/1.73 m2/year (p < 0.001) and 0.046 mL/min/1.73 m2/year (p = 0.004), respectively, for every 1-mmol/d increase in UCaE. CKD experiences a decrease in 24-h UCaE as early as stage 1, with a significant decline in stage 4. CKD and non-CKD patients with lower UCaE levels are at an increased risk of renal decline, regardless of other variables.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Kidney stone type varies with age, sex, season, and medical conditions. Lower estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) leads to changes in urine chemistry, and risk factors for kidney stones are thought to vary by stone type. We explore the association between eGFR, urine risk factors, and common stone compositions. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of 811 kidney stone patients seen at Yale Medicine between 1994 and 2021 with serum chemistries and 24-h urine chemistries matched within 1 year of baseline stone analysis. Patients' eGFR was calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) 2021 equation. Demographics and medical history were compared by χ2 tests. 24-h urine chemistries and stone analyses were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. Linear regressions were performed to control for demographics, comorbidities, and stone composition. RESULTS With lower eGFR, the proportion of calcium stones declined while uric acid (UA) stones increased. On univariable analysis, lower eGFR was associated with lower urine pH, calcium, citrate, UA, magnesium, phosphorus, and ammonium. On multivariable analysis, controlling for age, sex, ethnicity, body mass index, comorbidities, and stone type, these factors remained significant. Stone formers with lower eGFR had elevated supersaturation for UA, but reduced supersaturations for calcium-containing stones. Though urine oxalate was significant on univariable analysis, it was not on multivariable analysis. CONCLUSION Changes in urine parameters are strongly correlated with eGFR regardless of stone type. Renal function may play a key role in modulating kidney stone risk factors. Strategies to mitigate stone risk may need to vary with kidney function, especially when patient urine or stone composition data are unavailable.

Impact of urinary calcium excretion on kidney, bone, and cardiovascular systems in patients with bone biopsy proven osteoporosis: a longitudinal long-term follow-up study. Osteoporos Int 2023; 34:763-774. [PMID: 36790470 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-023-06686-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023]
Abstract
UNLABELLED The impact of urine calcium on kidney, bone, and cardiovascular systems in osteoporosis is not well-known. In this 7-year-follow-up study, high urine calcium did not affect kidney function but increased risk of kidney stones, while low urine calcium increased cardiovascular diseases. Maintaining normal urine calcium is beneficial for bone health. PURPOSE Hypercalciuria is common in patients with osteoporosis. However, the long-term effect of urinary calcium excretion (UCaE) on patients' health is not well-examined. The current study aims to assess the impact of UCaE on kidney, bone, and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with bone biopsy proven osteoporosis. METHODS Longitudinal study of all patients with osteoporosis who underwent bone biopsy and 24-h urine collection between 2008 and 2015 in the University of Kentucky. DXA scans, serum markers, kidney function, and cardiovascular events were recorded until last clinic visit in 2021. Exclusion criteria were secondary osteoporosis or conditions that might substantially impact UCaE. The significant results in univariate analysis were confirmed in multi-variable regression models involving clinically important covariates that might impact patients' outcomes. RESULTS Study included 230 patients with mean follow-up of 7.2 ± 2.9 years. The mean age was 61 years, and the mean eGFR at baseline was 85 ± 19 ml/min/1.73 m2. Low bone turnover (LBT) was present in 57% and high bone turnover (HBT) in 43% of patients. Hypercalciuria was found in one-third of patients with no difference between LTB and HTB. UCaE correlated positively with eGFR but did not affect the rate of eGFR decline over time. Higher UCaE predicted kidney stones development. We observed U-shaped effect of UCaE on bone health. Hypercalciuria predicted loss of BMD at all sites, but also hypocalciuria was associated with higher loss in total hip BMD. Upper limb fractures were the most observed fractures, and their incidence was higher in patients with hyper- or hypo-calciuria. Lower UCaE independently predicted development of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). CONCLUSION UCaE correlated with eGFR but it did not affect the change of eGFR over time. Patients with normal UCaE had lower incidence of upper limb fractures and less reduction in BMD. Low UCaE predicted MACE and CVD.

Abstract
CONTEXT Abnormalities in calcium metabolism are common in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Diminished urinary calcium excretion may promote vascular calcification and increased urinary calcium excretion may lead to nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis, conditions associated with CKD. OBJECTIVE To study predictors of urinary calcium excretion and its association with adverse clinical outcomes in CKD. DESIGN, SETTING AND PATIENTS This study assessed 3768 nondialysis participants in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort study from April 2003 to September 2008. Participants were followed up to October 2018. EXPOSURE Clinically plausible predictors of urinary calcium excretion and 24-h urinary calcium excretion at baseline. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Urinary calcium excretion; incident end stage kidney disease (ESKD), CKD progression [50% estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline or incident ESKD], all-cause mortality, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events. RESULTS eGFR was positive correlated with 24-h urinary calcium excretion. The variables most strongly associated with 24-h urinary calcium excretion in males and females were 24-h urinary sodium (β = 0.19 and 0.28, respectively), serum parathyroid hormone (β = -0.22 and -0.20, respectively), loop diuretics (β = 0.36 and 0.26, respectively), thiazide diuretics (β = -0.49 and -0.53, respectively), and self-identified black race (β = -0.23 and -0.27, respectively). Lower urinary calcium excretion was associated with greater risks of adverse outcomes, but these associations were greatly attenuated or nullified after adjustment for baseline eGFR. CONCLUSION Urinary calcium excretion is markedly lower in individuals with CKD compared to the general population. Determinants of urinary calcium excretion differed between sexes and levels of CKD. Associations between urinary calcium excretion and adverse clinical events were substantially confounded by eGFR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Diabetes is associated with a high incidence of microvascular disease, including nephropathy. The current study aimed to investigate the association of urinary calcium and phosphorus excretion with chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression in type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS A total of 159 T2DM patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD stage G1-G4) were retrospectively included. Patients were categorized into three groups according to the tertiles of 24-h urinary calcium and phosphorus excretion, respectively. Clinical parameters and laboratory findings were compared among the three groups. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the associations of urinary calcium and phosphorus excretion with CKD progression and adjusted for baseline eGFR, urinary protein excretion, mean arterial pressure, and use of RAAS inhibitor. A cubic spline curve was used to explore the association between urinary calcium excretion and CKD progression, as well as urinary phosphorus excretion and CKD progression. Moreover, the subgroup effects of urinary calcium and phosphorus excretion on CKD progression were estimated using Cox regression. CKD progression was defined as double of baseline serum creatinine or occurrence of ESRD. RESULTS During a median of 18.23 months of follow-up, the composite renal outcomes were noted in 27%. Cumulative renal outcomes were significantly lower in the highest tertile of urinary calcium excretion and phosphorus excretion in Kaplan-Meier analyses. The multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses indicated that both the highest tertile of urinary calcium and phosphorus excretion was associated with a lower risk for CKD progression compared with the lowest tertile. Restricted cubic spline analyses of the association between urinary calcium excretion and CKD progression indicated a linear association. Additionally, there was also a linear association between urinary phosphorus excretion and CKD progression. Subgroup analyses showed that higher urinary phosphorus excretion was particularly associated with a lower risk of CKD progression in non-diabetic kidney disease (NDKD) patients. CONCLUSION Higher urinary calcium and phosphorus excretion were associated with decreased risk of CKD progression in T2DM patients.

[PMID: 33704680 PMCID: PMC8004511 DOI: 10.1007/s12325-021-01649-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2020] [Accepted: 02/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Introduction Chronic hypoparathyroidism managed with conventional treatment, comprising oral administration of calcium and active vitamin D, has been associated with renal complications, including nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis. Further larger-scale studies are needed to examine these risks. This study evaluated the risk of nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis in patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism. Methods A retrospective cohort study using a managed care claims database in the United States from January 2007 to June 2017. Included patients were those with chronic hypoparathyroidism (excluding those receiving parathyroid hormone) and randomly selected patients without hypoparathyroidism over a maximum of 5-year follow-up. The main outcome measures were nephrolithiasis, identified by diagnosis codes or procedure codes for removing kidney stones, and nephrocalcinosis, identified by diagnosis codes. Results The nephrolithiasis analyses included 8097 adult patients with hypoparathyroidism and 40,485 adult patients without hypoparathyroidism. After excluding patients with a diagnosis of nephrocalcinosis at baseline, nephrocalcinosis analyses included 8051 patients with hypoparathyroidism and 40,466 patients without hypoparathyroidism. During 5 years of follow-up, patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism had significantly increased risk of nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis in Kaplan–Meier analysis compared with patients without hypoparathyroidism (both P < 0.001). In the adjusted analyses, chronic hypoparathyroidism was associated with higher risks of nephrolithiasis (hazard ratio [HR], 1.81; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.60–2.04) and nephrocalcinosis (HR, 6.94; 95% CI 4.41–10.92). A sensitivity analysis restricted to patients with at least one kidney imaging examination showed that 2.6% of patients (n = 59) with hypoparathyroidism and 0.5% of patients (n = 20) without hypoparathyroidism (ratio, 5.5; P < 0.001) developed nephrocalcinosis. Conclusions This large retrospective cohort study showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful increased risk of nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis in patients who have chronic hypoparathyroidism compared with those who do not have chronic hypoparathyroidism.

Perera T, Ranasinghe S, Alles N, Waduge R. Experimental rat model for acute tubular injury induced by high water hardness and high water fluoride: efficacy of primary preventive intervention by distilled water administration. BMC Nephrol 2020; 21:103. [PMID: 32204690 PMCID: PMC7092545 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-020-01763-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2019] [Accepted: 03/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Background High water hardness associated with high water fluoride and the geographical distribution of Chronic Kidney Disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) in Sri Lanka are well correlated. We undertook this study to observe the effects of high water hardness with high fluoride on kidney and liver in rats and efficacy of distilled water in reducing the effects. Methods Test water sample with high water hardness and high fluoride was collected from Mihinthale region and normal water samples were collected from Kandy region. Twenty-four rats were randomly divided into 8 groups and water samples were introduced as follows as daily water supply. Four groups received normal water for 60 (N1) and 90 (N2) days and test water for 60 (T1) and 90 (T2) days. Other four groups received normal (N3) and test (T3) water for 60 days and followed by distilled water for additional 60 days and normal (N4) and test (T4) water for 90 days followed by distilled water for another 90 days. The rats were sacrificed following treatment. Serum samples were subjected to biochemical tests; serum creatinine, urea, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and elemental analysis. Histopathological examinations were carried out using kidney and liver samples. Results Test water treated groups were associated with acute tubular injury with loss of brush border and test water followed with distilled water treated groups maintained a better morphology with minimal loss of brush border. Serum creatinine levels in T1 and T2 groups and urea level in T2 group were significantly (p < 0.05) increased compared to control groups. After administration of distilled water, both parameters were significantly reduced in T4 group (p < 0.05) compared to T2. Serum AST activity was increased in T4 group (p < 0.05) compared to control group with no histopathological changes in liver tissues. The serum sodium levels were found to be much higher compared to the other electrolytes in test groups. Conclusion Hard water with high fluoride content resulted in acute tubular injury with a significant increase in serum levels of creatinine, urea and AST activity. These alterations were minimized by administering distilled water.

Lower serum calcium is independently associated with CKD progression. Sci Rep 2018; 8:5148. [PMID: 29581540 PMCID: PMC5980097 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-23500-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2017] [Accepted: 03/12/2018] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Disturbances in calcium metabolism are common in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD), but whether they are associated with subsequent kidney function decline is less clear. In a CKD 3-5 cohort of 15,755 adult citizens of Stockholm with creatinine tests taken during 2006-2011 and concurrent calcium testing at cohort entry, we investigated the association between baseline serum calcium and the subsequent change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, by CKD-EPI) decline using linear mixed models. Mean (SD) baseline corrected serum calcium was 9.6 (0.5) mg/dL. Mean (95%-confidence interval [CI]) eGFR decline was -0.82 (-0.90; -0.74) mL/min/1.73 m2/year. In advanced CKD stages, higher baseline serum calcium was associated with less rapid kidney function decline. The adjusted change (95%-CI) in eGFR decline associated with each mg/dL increase in baseline serum calcium was -0.10 (-0.28; 0.26), 0.39 (0.07; 0.71), 0.34 (-0.02; 0.70) and 0.68 (0.36; 1.00) mL/min/1.73 m2/year for individuals in CKD stage 3a, 3b, 4, and 5, respectively. In a subgroup of patients using vitamin D supplements, the association between baseline serum calcium and CKD progression was eliminated, especially in CKD stage 3b and 4. To conclude, in individuals with CKD stage 3b to 5, lower baseline corrected serum calcium, rather than higher baseline serum calcium, associated with a more rapid CKD progression. Lower serum corrected calcium seems to be indicative for vitamin D deficiency.
