[PMID: 39132818 PMCID: PMC11321106 DOI: 10.1080/0886022x.2024.2387430] [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: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 07/05/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Extensive researches highlight the detrimental impact of sleep disorders such as insomnia and insufficient sleep duration on kidney function. However, establishing a clear causal relationship between insomnia, sleep duration, and kidney function remains challenging. This study aims to estimate this relationship using Mendelian randomization (MR). METHODS Independent genetic variants strongly associated with insomnia (N = 462,341) and sleep duration (N = 460,099) were selected as instrumental variables from corresponding genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Kidney function parameters, including serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate by cystatin C (eGFRcys), acute renal failure (ARF), chronic renal failure (CRF), kidney injury molecule-1, neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin, microalbuminuria, cystatin C, and β2 microglobulin, were derived from GWAS databases. A two-sample MR study was conducted to assess the causal relationship between sleep disorders and kidney function, and multivariable MR was used to identify potential mediators. The inverse-variance weighted was used as the primary estimate. RESULTS MR analysis found robust evidence indicating that insomnia and short sleep duration were associated with an increased risk of elevated serum creatinine, regardless of adjusting for obesity. Causal links between sleep duration and eGFRcys or cystatin C were also identified. While genetically predicted insomnia and sleep duration were found to potentially impact ARF, CRF, microalbuminuria, and β2 microglobulin, the p-values in multivariable MR analysis became nonsignificant. No pleiotropy was detected. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates a causal impact of insomnia on the risk of elevated serum creatinine and a positive effect of sleep duration on serum creatinine, eGFRcys, and cystatin C. Our findings also suggest their potential indirect effects on ARF, CRF, microalbuminuria, and β2 microglobulin mediated by obesity.

Abstract
ATP6AP2 knockout in the renal nephron impairs receptor-mediated endocytosis, increasing urinary albumin and glucose excretion and impairing weight gain. Nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) in urine are bound to albumin and reabsorbed in the proximal tubule through receptor-mediated endocytosis by the megalin-cubilin complex. We hypothesized that ATP6AP2 knockout increases urinary NEFA excretion through a reduction in megalin. Ten-week-old male C57BL/6 mice with nephron specific inducible ATP6AP2 knockout and noninduced controls were fed either normal diet (ND 12% fat) or high fat diet (HFD 45% fat) for 6 months. ATP6AP2 knockout significantly increased urine albumin:creatinine ratio in both ND and HFD fed mice while normalized urine NEFA concentration increased 489% and 259% in ND and HFD knockout mice compared to respective controls. Knockout decreased renal cortical megalin mRNA by 47% on ND and 49% on HFD while megalin protein expression decreased by 36% and 44% respectively. At the same time, markers of mTOR activity were increased while autophagy was impaired. Our results indicate that nephron specific ATP6AP2 knockout increases urinary NEFA excretion in the setting of impaired receptor-mediated endocytosis. Further investigation should determine whether ATP6AP2 contributes to obesity related ectopic lipid deposition in the proximal tubule.

The sclerotic component of metabolic syndrome: Fibroblast activities may be the central common denominator driving organ function loss and death. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26:2554-2566. [PMID: 38699780 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
Fibrosis is a common feature of more than 50 different diseases and the cause of more than 35% of deaths worldwide, of which liver, kidney, skin, heart and, recently, lungs are receiving the most attention. Tissue changes, resulting in loss of organ function, are both a cause and consequence of disease and outcome. Fibrosis is caused by an excess deposition of extracellular matrix proteins, which over time results in impaired organ function and organ failure, and the pathways leading to increased fibroblast activation are many. This narrative review investigated the common denominator of fibrosis, fibroblasts, and the activation of fibroblasts, in response to excess energy consumption in liver, kidney, heart, skin and lung fibrosis. Fibroblasts are the main drivers of organ function loss in lung, liver, skin, heart and kidney disease. Fibroblast activation in response to excess energy consumption results in the overproduction of a range of collagens, of which types I, III and VI seem to be the essential drivers of disease progression. Fibroblast activation may be quantified in serum, enabling profiling and selection of patients. Activation of fibroblasts results in the overproduction of collagens, which deteriorates organ function. Patient profiling of fibroblast activities in serum, quantified as collagen production, may identify an organ death trajectory, better enabling identification of the right treatment for use in different metabolic interventions. As metabolically activated patients have highly elevated risk of kidney, liver and heart failure, it is essential to identify which organ to treat first and monitor organ status to correct treatment regimes. In direct alignment with this, it is essential to identify the right patients with the right organ deterioration trajectory for enrolment in clinical studies.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing global public health challenge worldwide. In Mexico, CKD prevalence is alarmingly high and remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a severe complication of diabetes, is a leading determinant of CKD. The escalating diabetes prevalence and the complex regional landscape in Mexico underscore the pressing need for tailored strategies to reduce the burden of CKD. This narrative review, endorsed by the Mexican College of Nephrologists, aims to provide a brief overview and specific strategies for healthcare providers regarding preventing, screening, and treating CKD in patients living with diabetes in all care settings. The key topics covered in this review include the main cardiometabolic contributors of DKD (overweight/obesity, hyperglycemia, arterial hypertension, and dyslipidemia), the identification of kidney-related damage markers, and the benefit of novel pharmacological approaches based on Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter-2 Inhibitors (SGLT2i) and Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1 RA). We also address the potential use of novel therapies based on Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists (MRAs) and their future implications. Emphasizing the importance of multidisciplinary treatment, this narrative review aims to promote strategies that may be useful to alleviate the burden of DKD and its associated complications. It underscores the critical role of healthcare providers and advocates for collaborative efforts to enhance the quality of life for millions of patients affected by DKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic nephropathy (DN), a complication of diabetes, is the most leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Bariatric surgery functions on the remission of diabetes and diabetes-related complications. One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB), one of popular bariatric surgery, can improve diabetes and its complications by regulating the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) level. Meanwhile, GLP-1 can alleviate renal damage in high-fat-diet-induced obese rats. However, the effect of OAGB on renal injury remains uncertain in DN. METHODS A diabetes model was elicited in rats via HFD feeding and STZ injection. The role and mechanism of OAGB were addressed in DN rats by the body and kidney weight and blood glucose supervision, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), biochemistry detection, histopathological analysis, and western blot assays. RESULTS OAGB surgery reversed the increase in body weight and glucose tolerance indicators in diabetes rats. Also, OAGB operation neutralized the DN-induced average kidney weight, kidney weight/body weight, and renal injury indexes accompanied with reduced glomerular hypertrophy, alleviated mesangial dilation and decreased tubular and periglomerular collagen deposition. In addition, OAGB introduction reduced the DN-induced renal triglyceride and renal cholesterol with the regulation of fatty acids-related proteins expression. Mechanically, OAGB administration rescued the DN-induced expression of Sirt1/AMPK/PGC1α pathway mediated by GLP-1. Pharmacological block of GLP-1 receptor inverted the effect of OAGB operation on body weight, glucose tolerance, renal tissue damage, and fibrosis and lipids accumulation in DN rats. CONCLUSION OAGB improved renal damage and fibrosis and lipids accumulation in DN rats by GLP-1-mediated Sirt1/AMPK/PGC1α pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An elevated BMI is a major cause of transplant preclusion for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This phenomenon exacerbates existing socioeconomic and racial disparities and increases the economic burden of maintaining patients on dialysis. Metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) in such patients is not widely available. Our center created a collaborative program to undergo weight loss surgery before obtaining a kidney transplant. STUDY DESIGN We studied the outcomes of these patients after MBS and transplant surgery. One hundred eighty-three patients with ESRD were referred to the bariatric team by the transplant team between January 2019 and June 2023. Of these, 36 patients underwent MBS (20 underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and 16 underwent sleeve gastrectomy), and 10 underwent subsequent transplantation, with another 15 currently waitlisted. Both surgical teams shared resources, including dieticians, social workers, and a common database, for easy transition between teams. RESULTS The mean starting BMI for all referrals was 46.4 kg/m 2 and was 33.9 kg/m 2 at the time of transplant. The average number of hypertension medications decreased from 2 (range 2 to 4) presurgery to 1 (range 1 to 3) postsurgery. Similarly, hemoglobin A1C levels improved, with preoperative averages at 6.2 (range 5.4 to 7.6) and postoperative levels at 5.2 (range 4.6 to 5.8) All transplants are currently functioning, with a median creatinine of 1.5 (1.2 to 1.6) mg/dL (glomerular filtration rate 46 [36.3 to 71]). CONCLUSIONS A collaborative approach between bariatric and transplant surgery teams offers a pathway toward transplant for obese ESRD patients and potentially alleviates existing healthcare disparities. ESRD patients who undergo MBS have unique complications to be aware of. The improvement in comorbidities may lead to superior posttransplant outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pregnancy involves major adaptations in renal haemodynamics, tubular, and endocrine functions. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are a leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity. Uromodulin is a nephron-derived protein that is associated with hypertension and kidney diseases. Here we study the role of urinary uromodulin excretion in hypertensive pregnancy. METHODS Urinary uromodulin was measured by ELISA in 146 pregnant women with treated chronic hypertension (n = 118) and controls (n = 28). We studied non-pregnant and pregnant Wistar Kyoto and Stroke Prone Spontaneously Hypertensive rats (n = 8/strain), among which a group of pregnant Stroke-Prone Spontaneously Hypertensive rats was treated with either nifedipine (n = 7) or propranolol (n = 8). RESULTS In pregnant women, diagnosis of chronic hypertension, increased maternal body mass index, Black maternal ethnicity and elevated systolic blood pressure at the first antenatal visit were significantly associated with a lower urinary uromodulin-to-creatinine ratio. In rodents, pre-pregnancy urinary uromodulin excretion was twofold lower in Stroke-Prone Spontaneously Hypertensive rats than in Wistar Kyoto rats. During pregnancy, the urinary uromodulin excretion rate gradually decreased in Wistar Kyoto rats (a twofold decrease), whereas a 1.5-fold increase was observed in Stroke-Prone Spontaneously Hypertensive rats compared to pre-pregnancy levels. Changes in uromodulin were attributed by kidney injury in pregnant rats. Neither antihypertensive changed urinary uromodulin excretion rate in pregnant Stroke-Prone Spontaneously Hypertensive rats. CONCLUSIONS In summary, we demonstrate pregnancy-associated differences in urinary uromodulin: creatinine ratio and uromodulin excretion rate between chronic hypertensive and normotensive pregnancies. Further research is needed to fully understand uromodulin physiology in human pregnancy and establish uromodulin's potential as a biomarker for renal adaptation and renal function in pregnancy.

Abstract
Previous surveys suggests that body mass index (BMI) may be positively related to development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, this association might be altered by metabolic syndrome. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the association of metabolic health status with CKD. The present cross-sectional study was carried out on 3322 representative sample of Iranian adults. Metabolic syndrome was identified based on the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) and BMI was assessed by anthropometric measurements. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated by modification of diet in renal disease-Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (MDRD-EPI) formula. Subjects were categorized into four phenotypes: metabolically healthy normal weight (MHNW), metabolically healthy overweight and obesity (MHO), metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUHNW), and metabolically unhealthy overweight and obesity (MUHO). Based on multivariate-adjusted models, the risk of CKD was significantly higher in MUHO compared with MHNW (OR: 1.48; p < 0.05). Although MUHNW and MUHO were associated with lower eGFR and albuminuria, the significant association was not observed in case of hematuria. Furthermore, subjects with kidney stones tended to be in MHO (OR: 1.42; p < 0.05) and MUHO phenotypes (OR: 1.64; p < 0.05), in comparison to the MHNW phenotype. The odds of kidney disorders were higher in adults with metabolic syndrome, regardless of BMI. However, this relationship might be strengthened by the concomitance of metabolic syndrome and obesity. To verify our findings, clarify the causality, and elucidate the underlying mechanisms, further research are warranted.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its downstream complications (i.e. cardiovascular) are a major source of morbidity worldwide. Additionally, deaths due to CKD or CKD-attributable cardiovascular disease account for a sizeable proportion of global mortality. However, the advent of new pharmacotherapies, diagnostic tools, and global initiatives are directing greater attention to kidney health in the public health agenda, including the implementation of effective strategies that (i) prevent kidney disease, (ii) provide early CKD detection, and (iii) ameliorate CKD progression and its related complications. In this Review, we discuss major risk factors for incident CKD and CKD progression categorized across cardiovascular (i.e. hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiorenal syndrome), endocrine (i.e. diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, testosterone), lifestyle (i.e. obesity, dietary factors, smoking), and genetic/environmental (i.e. CKDu/Mesoamerican nephropathy, APOL1, herbal nephropathy) domains, as well as scope, mechanistic underpinnings, and management.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery in people with obesity can lead to long-term remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and a reduction in the incidence of macrovascular complications. The impact of bariatric surgery on microvascular complications is less clear. In this narrative review, we sought to evaluate the effect of bariatric surgery on microvascular complications in patients with and without diabetes. The risk of developing microvascular complications is increased in people with obesity, and this is amplified in those with T2DM. The impact of metabolic surgery on microvascular complications is limited to a subgroup analysis of studies or statistical modeling to predict the glycemia-independent effect of bariatric surgery. While bariatric surgery halts the progression of retinopathy in those with minimal retinopathy, it may worsen in those with advanced retinopathy. Bariatric surgery improves proteinuria and major renal outcomes, regardless of the severity of renal impairment. Bariatric surgery in patients with obesity with or without diabetes is associated with an improvement in neuropathic symptoms and regeneration of small nerve fibers. In conclusion, bariatric surgery is associated with an improvement in microvascular complications. Further studies are needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms for the favorable effect of bariatric surgery on microvascular outcomes.

J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle 2023; 14:2184-2195. [PMID: 37503821 PMCID: PMC10570067 DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.13297] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 01/24/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Underweight status increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in the general population. However, whether underweight status is associated with an increased risk of developing end-stage kidney disease is unknown. METHODS A total of 9 845 420 participants aged ≥20 years who underwent health checkups were identified from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database and analysed. Individuals with underweight (body mass index [BMI] < 18.5 kg/m2 ) and obesity (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 ) were categorized according to the World Health Organization recommendations for Asian populations. RESULTS During a mean follow-up period of 9.2 ± 1.1 years, 26 406 participants were diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease. After fully adjusting for other potential predictors, the moderate to severe underweight group (<17 kg/m2 ) had a significantly higher risk of end-stage kidney disease than that of the reference (normal) weight group (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.563; 95% confidence interval, 1.337-1.828), and competing risk analysis to address the competing risk of death also showed the similar results (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.228; 95% confidence interval, 1.042-1.448). Compared with that of the reference BMI group (24-25 kg/m2 ), the adjusted hazard ratios for end-stage kidney disease increased as the BMI decreased by 1 kg/m2 . In the sensitivity analysis, sustained underweight status or progression to underweight status over two repeated health checkups, when compared with normal weight status, had a higher hazard ratio for end-stage kidney disease. CONCLUSIONS Underweight status is associated with an increased risk of end-stage kidney disease, and this association gradually strengthens as BMI decreases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Body mass index (BMI) is a known confounder for natriuretic peptides, but its influence on other biomarkers is less well described. We investigated whether BMI interacts with biomarkers' association with prognosis in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). METHODS AND RESULTS B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI), galectin-3, serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (sNGAL), and urine NGAL were measured serially in patients with AHF during hospitalization in the AKINESIS (Acute Kidney Injury Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin Evaluation of Symptomatic Heart Failure) study. Cox regression analysis was used to determine the association of biomarkers and their interaction with BMI for 30-day, 90-day and 1-year composite outcomes of death or HF readmission. Among 866 patients, 21.2%, 29.7% and 46.8% had normal (18.5-24.9 kg/m2), overweight (25-29.9 kg/m2) or obese (≥ 30 kg/m2) BMIs on admission, respectively. Admission values of BNP and hs-cTnI were negatively associated with BMI, whereas galectin-3 and sNGAL were positively associated with BMI. Admission BNP and hs-cTnI levels were associated with the composite outcome within 30 days, 90 days and 1 year. Only BNP had a significant interaction with BMI. When BNP was analyzed by BMI category, its association with the composite outcome attenuated at higher BMIs and was no longer significant in obese individuals. Findings were similar when evaluated by the last-measured biomarkers and BMIs. CONCLUSIONS In patients with AHF, only BNP had a significant interaction with BMI for the outcomes, with its association attenuating as BMI increased; hs-cTnI was prognostic, regardless of BMI.

Abstract
Obesity is characterized by the accumulation of adipose tissue in different body compartments. Whether adipose tissue directly affects kidney function is still unknown. We aimed to investigate the role of the adipose tissue and circulating creatinine, cystatin C and kidney function in subjects free of cardio-renal diseases. In the KORA-MRI population-based study, 377 subjects (mean age 56.2 ± 9.2 years; 41.6% female) underwent whole-body 3T-MRI examination. Adipose tissue defined as visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) were quantified from T1-DIXON sequence using a semi-automatic algorithm. Serum creatinine and cystatin C were measured using standard laboratory and estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR) was performed based on creatinine (e-GFRcrea), cystatin C (e-GFRcys) and creatinine-cystatin C (e-GFRcc). Linear regression analysis, adjusted for risk factors, was used to investigate the relationship between adipose tissue and circulating creatinine, cystatin C, and kidney function. In multivariate analyses VAT was inversely associated with eGFRcys (ß = - 4.88, p = < 0.001), and positively associated with serum cystatin C (ß = 0.05, p = < 0.001), respectively. No association was found between other adipose parameters such as total adipose tissue (TAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and serum creatinine, urine microalbumin and eGFRcrea. Stratified analyses according to BMI revealed confirmatory results for category of BMI > 30. VAT is positively associated with serum cystatin C and inversely with eGFR based on cystatin C, suggesting a direct involvement of visceral adipose tissue in increased metabolism of cystatin C and consequently decreased kidney function.

Abstract
There is a pandemic of obesity worldwide and in Europe up to 30% of the adult population is already obese. Obesity is strongly related to the risk of CKD, progression of CKD, and end-stage renal disease (ESRD), also after adjustment for age, sex, race, smoking status, comorbidities, and laboratory tests. In the general population, obesity increases the risk of death. In nondialysis-dependent CKD patients, the association between body mass index and weight with mortality is controversial. In ESRD patients, obesity is paradoxically associated with better survival. There are only a few studies investigating changes in weight in these patients and in most weight loss was associated with higher mortality. However, it is not clear if weight change was intentional or unintentional and this is an important limitation of these studies. Management of obesity includes life-style interventions, bariatric surgery, and pharmacotherapy. In the last 2 years, a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist and GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor agonist were shown to be effective in managing weight loss in non-CKD patients, but we are awaiting results of more definitive studies in CKD patients.

Abstract
Hypertension and potassium imbalance are commonly observed in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. The development of hypertension would be related to several mechanisms. Hypertension is related to body mass index, dietary salt intake, and volume overload and is treated with antihypertensives. In CKD patients, managing hypertension can provide important effects that can slow the progression of CKD or reduce complications associated with reduced glomerular filtration rate. The prevalence of hyperkalemia and hypokalemia in CKD patients was similar at 15-20% and 15-18%, respectively, but more attention needs to be paid to treating and preventing hyperkalemia, which is related to a higher mortality rate, than hypokalemia. Hyperkalemia is prevalent in CKD due to impaired potassium excretion. Serum potassium level is affected by renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors and diuretics and dietary potassium intake and can be managed by potassium restriction dietary, optimized renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor, sodium polystyrene sulfonate, patiromer, and hemodialysis. This review discussed strategies to mitigate and care for the risk of hypertension and hyperkalemia in CKD patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to summarize the current evidence on the role of obesity in the development and progression of chronic kidney disease and the current evidence on nutritional, pharmacological, and surgical strategies for the management of individuals with obesity and chronic kidney disease. RECENT FINDINGS Obesity can hurt the kidney via direct pathways, through the production of pro-inflammatory adipocytokines, and indirectly due to systemic complications of obesity, including type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension. In particular, obesity can damage the kidney through alterations in renal hemodynamics resulting in glomerular hyperfiltration, proteinuria and, finally, impairment in glomerular filtratation rate. Several strategies are available for weight loss and maintenance, such as the modification of lifestyle (diet and physical activity), anti-obesity drugs, and surgery therapy, but there are no clinical practice guidelines to manage subjects with obesity and chronic kidney disease. Obesity is an independent risk factor for the progression of chronic kidney disease. In subjects with obesity, weight loss can slow down the progression of renal failure with a significant reduction in proteinuria and improvement in glomerular filtratation rate. Specifically, in the management of subjects with obesity and chronic renal disease, it has been shown that bariatric surgery can prevent the decline in renal function, while further clinical studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety on the kidney of weight reducing agents and the very low-calorie ketogenic diet.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Because evidence linking carbohydrate consumption to diabetic nephropathy (DN) is scarce, and the association between a low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) and DN has not been investigated, we sought to investigate whether a higher LCD score is associated with DN among women. METHODS In a case-control study, 105 women with type 2 diabetes mellitus and DN and 105 controls with type 2 diabetes mellitus and without DN who attended Kowsar Diabetes Clinic in Semnan, Iran, were matched for age and diabetes duration. The data related to anthropometric and biochemical measures were collected and a food frequency questionnaire with 147 items was used to assess dietary intake. Based on the food frequency questionnaire, we calculated an LCD score for each study participant. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to examine the association between an LCD score and the odds of developing DN. RESULTS The results of the study demonstrated that the LCD score was not significantly associated with DN in the crude model (odds ratio = 0.39; 95% confidence interval, 0.14-1.07; P = 0.06). However, after adjusting for several confounders, subjects in the top quartile of the LCD score were associated with a 71% lower risk of DN (odds ratio [OR] = 0.29; 95% confidence interval, 0.10-0.86; P = 0.02). A significant trend toward decreased urinary albumin excretion was found with an increase in the LCD score (P = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS A diet low in carbohydrates was inversely associated with risk of DN. Further observational studies, and preferably randomized controlled trials, are needed to confirm the present results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) represent a vulnerable group of patients who develop a number of comorbidities. Severe periodontitis (SP) is associated with the most common chronic systemic diseases including kidney diseases. The objective of this study was to explore the risk factors for SP in KTRs. METHODS In this study, KTRs were divided into those with or without periodontitis and in relation to the severity of periodontitis. A comprehensive medical and periodontal examination was performed and evaluated. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to examine possible risk factors for SP among KTRs. RESULTS A total of 100 KTRs were included in the analysis, of which 87% had periodontitis. Significant predictors of periodontitis were older age (OR = 1.07, 95% CI [1.01, 1.13], p = 0.016) and lower skeletal muscle mass (OR = 0.88, 95% CI [0.78, 0.99], p = 0.035). When examining periodontitis severity, predictors of SP (n = 21, 24%) were increased levels of uric acid (OR = 1.01, 95% CI [1.00, 1.02], p = 0.022) and dental plaque (OR = 1.04, 95% CI [1.01, 1.07], p = 0.013). In the subset analysis that included only KTRs with measured advanced glycation end products (AGE) (n = 47), 34% (n = 16) had SP. The predictors of SP were AGE (OR = 3.89, 95% CI [1.28, 11.82], p = 0.017) and dental plaque (OR = 1.07, 95% CI [1.01, 1.13], p = 0.028). CONCLUSIONS KTRs with SP had significantly higher uric acid levels and AGE, which may contribute to the systemic health status of this patient population.

An Evaluation of Alternative Technology-Supported Counseling Approaches to Promote Multiple Lifestyle Behavior Changes in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease. J Ren Nutr 2023; 33:35-44. [PMID: 35752400 PMCID: PMC9772360 DOI: 10.1053/j.jrn.2022.05.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2021] [Revised: 05/10/2022] [Accepted: 05/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although technology-supported interventions are effective for reducing chronic disease risk, little is known about the relative and combined efficacy of mobile health strategies aimed at multiple lifestyle factors. The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of technology-supported behavioral intervention strategies for managing multiple lifestyle-related health outcomes in overweight adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). DESIGN AND METHODS Using a 2 × 2 factorial design, adults with excess body weight (body mass index ≥27 kg/m2, age ≥40 years), T2D, and CKD stages 2-4 were randomized to an advice control group, or remotely delivered programs consisting of synchronous group-based education (all groups), plus (1) Social Cognitive Theory-based behavioral counseling and/or (2) mobile self-monitoring of diet and physical activity. All programs targeted weight loss, greater physical activity, and lower intakes of sodium and phosphorus-containing food additives. RESULTS Of 256 randomized participants, 186 (73%) completed 6-month assessments. Compared to the ADVICE group, mHealth interventions did not result in significant changes in weight loss, or urinary sodium and phosphorus excretion. In aggregate analyses, groups receiving mobile self-monitoring had greater weight loss at 3 months (P = .02), but between 3 and 6 months, weight losses plateaued, and by 6 months, the differences were no longer statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS When engaging patients with T2D and CKD in multiple behavior changes, self-monitoring diet and physical activity demonstrated significantly larger short-term weight losses. Theory-based behavioral counseling alone was no better than baseline advice and demonstrated no interaction effect with self-monitoring.

[PMID: 36120818 DOI: 10.1111/eci.13878] [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: 06/19/2022] [Revised: 08/30/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome. Nevertheless, the association of CKD with phenotype referred as metabolically healthy obese or overweight is unclear. In this this systematic review and meta-analysis, we investigate the relationships between obesity and CKD independent of metabolic syndrome by appraising published evidence in studies focusing on metabolically healthy obese people. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a literature search through three databases Embase (Elsevier), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Wiley) and PubMed/Medline Web of Science up to March 2022 with the following terms: "chronic kidney disease", "kidney function", "obesity", "metabolic syndrome", "metabolically healthy obesity", "metabolically healthy overweight". Metabolically unhealthy was defined an individual having at least 3 of the following: abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL cholesterol and hyperglycaemia. We used Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) for reporting. Prospective, retrospective, randomized and nonrandomized studies fitting the search criteria were included in our results. RESULTS Our final analysis included 16 studies with a total number of 4.965.285 participants. There is considerable heterogeneity in terms of study design, participant characteristics and number of participants across individual studies. In comparison to healthy normal weight patients, the risk was progressively higher in overweight (RR 1.29, 95% CI 1.27 to 1.32, p < 0.001) and obese patients (RR 1.47, 95% CI 1.31 to 1.65, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Metabolically healthy overweight and obese individuals have higher risk of CKD compared to individuals without weight excess.

Can J Kidney Health Dis 2022; 9:20543581221129465. [PMID: 36246343 PMCID: PMC9561641 DOI: 10.1177/20543581221129465] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2022] [Accepted: 08/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Obesity is, directly and indirectly, linked to the progression of chronic
kidney disease (CKD). However, nephrologists’ recognition of obesity and
willingness to address and manage obesity are unknown. Objectives: The aim of this article is to investigate if obesity is recognized and
documented in the clinical encounter and to examine nephrologists’
perceptions of obesity and comfort with weight loss management. Design: We conducted a 2-part study. Part I used a retrospective chart review and
part II used an anonymous online survey of practicing nephrologists (n = 14)
in our center. Setting: The study took place in the Multi-care Kidney Clinic (MCKC) at London Health
Sciences Centre in London, Ontario, Canada. Patients: In part I, we conducted a retrospective chart review of 10 random patients
with advanced CKD and obesity (body mass index [BMI] > 30
kg/m2) from each of the nephrologists between January and
December 2019. Methods: In part I, charts were assessed for documentation of obesity and/or a
treatment plan (lifestyle counseling, pharmacologic intervention, and
specialist referral). In part II, a survey completed by the nephrologists
explored their current experience and perceptions of obesity and comfort
with weight loss management. Responses were ranked on a 5-point Likert
scale. Results: In all, 140 patient charts were reviewed. The median age was 69
(interquartile range [IQR] = 60-77) years, estimated glomerular filtration
rate (eGFR) was 17 (IQR = 12-20) ml/min/1.73 m2, weight was 99
(IQR = 90-116) kg, and BMI was 36 (IQR = 33-40) kg/m2. Obesity
with a BMI was documented in 36 (26%) charts, and only 2 (1%) documented a
weight loss plan, which only included non-pharmacologic strategies. There
were 13 survey responses (93% response rate). All nephrologists agreed that
obesity negatively affects the health of patients with CKD. Twelve (92%)
reported discussing obesity with patients, but none felt that they had time
to treat it. All reported discussions of obesity would evoke a negative
patient response, while 5 (38%) thought patients actually want to discuss
obesity. Regarding treatment, 8 (62%) nephrologists felt comfortable with
non-pharmacologic treatment, but only 1 respondent was comfortable with
pharmacologic treatments. Twelve (92%) nephrologists thought patients should
be referred to a specialist. Limitations: There was limited generalizability as this was a single center study. The BMI
may reflect hypervolemia rather than body mass. Conclusion: In our study, nephrologists rarely document and manage obesity in patients
with advanced CKD, despite their perception of treatment benefits. Improved
outcomes of obesity management for patients with CKD will require increased
knowledge and clinical tools to efficiently address obesity with
patients.

Abstract
The present study evaluated the effects of Hail Salvia officinalis total extract (SOTE) and its high flavonoid fraction (SOHFF) on the high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity and hepatorenal damage in rats. Salvia officinalis plants were collected from Hail region, Saudi Arabia. Rats were fed HFD and supplemented orally with SOTE (250 mg kg-1) or SOHFF (100 mg kg-1) or simvastatin (SVS; 10 mg kg-1) every day for 8 weeks. Compared to the controls, HFD-induced obesity led to significant increases in body weight, body weight gained, blood insulin, leptin, cardiac enzymes (LDH and CPK) activity, and atherogenic index (AI). HFD rats also showed higher levels of hepatic and renal function biomarkers (ALT, urea, and creatinine), as well as lower levels of PPARγ and Nrf2-gene expression and a disrupted lipid profile. Moreover, HFD rats had lower levels of hepatic and renal antioxidant biomarkers (CAT, GPx, SOD, GR, and GSH), accompanied by higher levels of hepatic and renal lipid peroxidation (LPO), nitric oxide (NO), and inflammatory mediators (interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)). In addition, histological examination of hepatic and renal tissues revealed histopathological changes that validated the biochemical findings. Compared to HFD group, SOTE and SOHFF treatment led to marked amelioration of all the aforementioned parameters. Collectively, supplementation with SOTE and SOHFF effectively reversed HFD-induced alterations through its antioxidant, hypolipidemic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Hence, SOTE and SOHFF have therapeutic potential in controlling obesity and related pathologies.

Abstract
Introduction The degree of interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) seen on kidney biopsy has long been used to judge the chronicity of kidney disease to predict renal disease outcomes and prognosis. It is an essential component incorporated in many renal disease prognostic classification systems on the native and renal allograft. The impact of increased body mass index on the body metabolism, and the human vascular system, including the functional unit of the kidney, the nephron, is well-addressed in the literature. In this study, we focus on evaluating the degree of IFTA concerning the patient's body mass index (BMI). Method All the specimens of nephrectomies performed in King Abdulaziz University Hospital for adults from January 2010 to February 2021 were evaluated for this study. A total of 125 cases were selected for the study. The glass slides were pulled and assessed for the degree of IFTA. The demographic data, and the patient's BMI, were collected from the hospital records. Results Subjects with high BMI showed a 1.62 (OR: 1.62, 95% CI: 0.62, 4.22) and 1.52 (AOR: 1.52, 95% CI: 0.56, 4.13) increased risk of high IFTA score compared with those with normal BMI. This study has proved that only at a BMI of 25 or more will there be a measurable, independent effect on the degree of IFTA. Conclusion Although a small number of hospital-based populations limits this study, it could prove the increased severity of IFTA in patients with high BMI. Its result may act as a spark that will drive extensive population-based studies that more precisely delineate the relationship between BMI and the degree of IFTA on different levels.

Abstract
AIM To assess the effects of dapagliflozin in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and albuminuria, with and without type 2 diabetes, stratified by the Quételet (body mass) index (BMI). METHODS We randomized 4304 adult patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 25-75 ml/min/1.73m2 and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio of 200-5000 mg/g to dapagliflozin 10 mg/day or placebo. The primary outcome was a composite of sustained decline in eGFR of 50% or more, kidney failure, or death from kidney or cardiovascular causes. Secondary outcomes included kidney composite endpoint (primary composite endpoint without cardiovascular death), cardiovascular composite endpoint (hospitalized heart failure/ cardiovascular death), and all-cause mortality. We categorized participants according to World Health Organization BMI criteria: lean/ideal (<25 kg/m2 ), overweight (25-< 30 kg/m2 ), grade 1 obesity (30-<35 kg/m2 ), and grade 2/3 obesity (≥35 kg/m2 ). RESULTS Of 4296 (99.8%) randomized participants, 888 (20.7%), 1491 (34.7%), 1136 (26.4%), and 781 (18.2%) were categorized as lean/ideal, overweight, grade 1 obesity, and grade 2/3 obesity, respectively. Median follow-up was 2.4 years. Benefits of dapagliflozin were observed independent of baseline BMI for primary and secondary endpoints. Hazard ratios (95% CI) for dapagliflozin versus placebo for the primary composite endpoint were 0.60 (0.43, 0.85), 0.55 (0.40, 0.75), 0.71 (0.49, 1.04), and 0.57 (0.37, 0.87) among participants in the lean/ideal, overweight, grade 1 obesity, and grade 2/3 obesity groups (interaction P = .72). CONCLUSION Among participants with CKD and albuminuria, with or without type 2 diabetes, kidney and cardiovascular benefits of dapagliflozin were evident and consistent across the BMI spectrum.

Abstract
Excess body weight is associated with cardiovascular events (CVEs) and premature death. This study aimed to find the causal pathways between excess body weight and CVEs through risk factors in a general adult population. A total of 7921 employees of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand were enrolled during 1997-2009. Baseline characteristics and blood test results were collected. A body mass index (BMI) ≥ 23 kg/m2, using WHO criteria for Asians was defined as excess body weight. A mediation analysis was applied to assess potential causal pathways. BMI ≥ 23 kg/m2 was considered as an independent variable, whereas diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HT), and chronic kidney disease (CKD) were considered as mediators, and CVEs (i.e., fatal and non-fatal coronary artery disease or stroke) were considered as the outcomes. The prevalence of BMI ≥ 23 kg/m2, DM, HT, and CKD were 62.7%, 7.8%, 28.1% and 11.8% respectively. During an average of 17.2 ± 5.5 years follow-up, subjects with BMI ≥ 23 kg/m2 compared with those with lower BMIs more frequently developed CVEs (9.4 vs 6.2%, P < 0.001). The effects of BMI ≥ 23 kg/m2 on CVEs were mediated indirectly through DM and HT with significant ORs of 1.61 (1.34, 2.09) and 1.57 (1.39, 1.80), respectively. The indirect effect of CKD on CVEs was significantly increased if mediated through DM → HT or HT [ORs of 1.17 (1.09, 1.32) and 1.20 (1.10, 1.32), respectively]. Subjects with excess body weight were prone to develop CVEs which were mediated indirectly through DM and HT. The effect of CKD on CVEs was small but enhanced if it occurred as a complication of DM or HT.

Abstract
Obesity remains a growing public health concern in industrialized countries around the world. The prevalence of obesity has also continued to rise in those with chronic kidney disease. Epidemiological data suggests those with overweight and obesity, measured by body mass index, have an increased risk for rapid kidney disease progression. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease causes growth and proliferation of kidney cysts resulting in a reduction in kidney function in the majority of adults. An accumulation of adipose tissue may further exacerbate the metabolic defects that have been associated with ADPKD by affecting various cell signaling pathways. Lifestyle interventions inducing weight loss might help delay disease progression by reducing adipose tissue and systematic inflammation. Further research is needed to determine the mechanistic influence of adipose tissue on disease progression.

Abstract
Obesity is a major public health problem in the developed world, where it has reached an epidemic status over the last few decades. In parallel with this, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has increased. Although obesity is a risk factor for hypertension and diabetes, it is also independently associated with the development and progression of CKD. Two-third of patients with CKD worldwide will be residents of developing countries by the year 2030. Risk factors for CKD are prevalent in the sub-Saharan Africa region; this review discusses the available data regarding the relationship between obesity and CKD. The prevalence of CKD appears to correlate with increasing adiposity in sub-Saharan Africa; however, limited data are currently available, and the analysis of this association is further complicated by a variety of parameters used to define obesity. (eg, body mass index vs waist circumference). Longer, large-scale studies are needed to inform the prevalence and kidney implications of obesity in sub-Saharan Africa.

Kidney disease risk factors do not explain impacts of low dietary protein on kidney function and structure. iScience 2021; 24:103308.

Abstract
The kidneys balance many byproducts of the metabolism of dietary components. Previous studies examining dietary effects on kidney health are generally of short duration and manipulate a single macronutrient. Here, kidney function and structure were examined in C57BL/6J mice randomized to consume one of a spectrum of macronutrient combinations (protein [5%–60%], carbohydrate [20%–75%], and fat [20%–75%]) from weaning to late-middle age (15 months). Individual and interactive impacts of macronutrients on kidney health were modeled. Dietary protein had the greatest influence on kidney function, where chronic low protein intake decreased glomerular filtration rates and kidney mass, whereas it increased kidney immune infiltration and structural injury. Kidney outcomes did not align with cardiometabolic risk factors including glucose intolerance, overweight/obesity, dyslipidemia, and hypertension in mice with chronic low protein consumption. This study highlights that protein intake over a lifespan is an important determinant of kidney function independent of cardiometabolic changes. Chronic high macronutrient intake from any source increases kidney function (GFR) Low protein intake led to greater kidney tubular structural injury and inflammation Lower protein intake decreased kidney mass and glomerular filtration capacity Kidney outcomes did not align with longevity or cardiometabolic outcomes

Association between Body Mass Index and Chronic Kidney Disease in Asian Populations: A Participant-level Meta-Analysis. Maturitas 2021; 154:46-54. [PMID: 34736579 DOI: 10.1016/j.maturitas.2021.09.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2021] [Revised: 08/13/2021] [Accepted: 09/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Obesity and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are major public health problems worldwide. However, the association between body mass index (BMI) and CKD is inconclusive in Asians. In this meta-analysis, eight population-based studies, from China, India, Russia (Asian), Singapore and South Korea, provided individual-level data (n=50037). CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. BMI was analyzed both as a continuous variable and in three categories: <25kg/m2, normal; 25-29.9kg/m2, overweight; and ≥30kg/m2, obese. The association between BMI and CKD was evaluated in each study using multivariable logistic regression models and individual estimates were pooled using random-effect meta-analysis to obtain the pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Associations were also evaluated in subgroups of age, gender, smoking, diabetes, and hypertension status. Of 50037 adults, 4258 (8.5%) had CKD. 13328 (26.6%) individuals were overweight while 4440 (8.9%) were obese. The prevalence of any CKD ranged from 3.5% to 29.1% across studies. In pooled analysis, both overweight and obesity were associated with increased odds of CKD, with pooled OR (95% CI) of 1.15 (1.03-1.29) and 1.23 (1.06-1.42), respectively. In subgroup analyses, significant associations between BMI and CKD were observed in adult males, non-smokers, and those with diabetes and arterial hypertension (all p<0.05). When evaluated as a continuous variable, BMI was not significantly associated with CKD. If confirmed in longitudinal studies, these results may have clinical implications in risk stratification and preventive measures, given that obesity and CKD are two major chronic diseases with substantial public health burden worldwide.

Kim BY, Choi DH, Jung CH, Mok JO, Kim CH. Associations between obesity, weight change and decreased renal function in Korean type 2 diabetic patients: a longitudinal follow-up study. BMC Endocr Disord 2021; 21:188. [PMID: 34535101 PMCID: PMC8447533 DOI: 10.1186/s12902-021-00853-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2020] [Accepted: 09/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to examine the associations between the risk of decreased renal function, obesity, and weight changes in Korean type 2 diabetic patients with normal renal function. METHODS Type 2 diabetic patients (n = 1060) who visited the diabetic clinic at Soonchunhyang University Bucheon Hospital between 2001 and 2007 with follow up surveys completed in 2016 to 2017 were recruited into the study. Decreased renal function was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Weight change was calculated between baseline and each follow-up survey. Multivariate analysis was used to evaluate the longitudinal association of baseline obesity and weight changes with the risk of decreased renal function. RESULTS This study revealed that baseline obesity was associated with the risk of decreased renal function after adjusting for clinical variables in type 2 diabetic patients (odds ratio [OR] 1.40; 95% confidence intervals [CI] 1.08-2.04; p = 0.025). Follow-up (mean = 12 years) revealed that weight gain > 10% was associated with the risk of decreased renal function after adjusting for clinical variables in type 2 diabetic patients with normal renal function at baseline (OR 1.43; CI 1.11-2.00; p = 0.016). Weight loss was not associated with the risk of decreased renal function in type 2 diabetic patients with normal renal function at baseline. CONCLUSIONS Baseline obesity was associated with the increased risk of decreased renal function in Korean type 2 diabetic patients with normal renal function. Weight gain > 10% independently predicted the risk of decreased renal function. Large prospective studies are needed to clarify causal associations between obesity, weight change, and decreased renal function in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) induces modifications in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism and homeostasis. These modifications can promote, modulate and/or accelerate CKD and secondary cardiovascular disease (CVD). Lipid and lipoprotein abnormalities - involving triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, LDL and/or HDL - not only involve changes in concentration but also changes in molecular structure, including protein composition, incorporation of small molecules and post-translational modifications. These alterations modify the function of lipoproteins and can trigger pro-inflammatory and pro-atherogenic processes, as well as oxidative stress. Serum fatty acid levels are also often altered in patients with CKD and lead to changes in fatty acid metabolism - a key process in intracellular energy production - that induce mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular damage. These fatty acid changes might not only have a negative impact on the heart, but also contribute to the progression of kidney damage. The presence of these lipoprotein alterations within a biological environment characterized by increased inflammation and oxidative stress, as well as the competing risk of non-atherosclerotic cardiovascular death as kidney function declines, has important therapeutic implications. Additional research is needed to clarify the pathophysiological link between lipid and lipoprotein modifications, and kidney dysfunction, as well as the genesis and/or progression of CVD in patients with kidney disease.

Combination of Thigh Circumference and Indices of Central Obesity Helps Predict Incident Chronic Kidney Disease: A 14-Year Prospective Cohort Study Using a Three-Dimensional Body Laser Scanner. J Ren Nutr 2021; 32:405-413.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Obesity, high body mass index, and visceral fat accumulation are associated with renal diseases. However, the association between body measurements and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is still unclear. METHODS A cohort of 7,825 participants scheduled for follow-up of CKD was recruited from 2000 to 2008 in Taiwan. A questionnaire was developed to collect the basic demographics, lifestyle variables, personal disease history, and family disease history of the participants. A 3-dimensional body surface scanning system was used to take their body measurements. The participants underwent an average follow-up of 14.3 years for evaluation of the incidence of CKD. A multiple Cox regression model was built. RESULTS Three body measurements, namely chest width (hazard ratio [HR] 1.059, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.011-1.110), waist circumference (HR 1.017, 95% CI 1.006-1.029), and thigh circumference (HR 0.941, 95% CI 0.922-0.961), were significantly associated with CKD. Two combinations of body measurements, namely the waist-to-thigh ratio and chest-to-thigh ratio, were derived to predict the occurrence of CKD. Participants with the highest quartile of waist-to-thigh ratio and chest-to-thigh ratio had a 2.175-fold and 2.182-fold risk of developing CKD, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that along with central obesity, body limb measurements can be used as an indicator to predict the occurrence of CKD. The effects of limb measurements on CKD could help provide an innovative perspective regarding the intervention to be developed for the treatment of CKD and a preventive medicine for high-risk individuals. The association of thigh circumference with CKD warrants further investigation.

Weight loss reduces the incidence of dipstick proteinuria: a cohort study from the Japanese general population. Clin Exp Nephrol 2021; 25:1329-1335.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Though elimination of obesity is one of main therapeutic goal for lifestyle-related diseases, the impact of appropriate weight loss on reduction of the incidence of proteinuria in the general population is still unclear. METHODS The study cohort was based on a general population of 9,33,490 from 40 to 74 years of age who had undergone annual specific health checkups. The subjects who were finally included were the 2,74,598 people for whom all the data necessary for this study were available. The incidence of proteinuria in this study was defined as negative proteinuria at the primary and secondary survey years, and newly developed proteinuria during subsequent follow-up years. RESULTS Whereas people with rapidly decreased weight tended to have a high incidence of proteinuria in the underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2) and normal weight (18.5-24.9 kg/m2) groups, the obese group (≥ 25.0 kg/m2) with rapidly decreased weight had a lower incidence compared to those with stable weight. In the obese population, a rapid decline of BMI (- 1 to - 5 kg/m2 per year) was associated with a reduced risk (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]; 0.89 [0.80-0.98], P = 0.02) of proteinuria. CONCLUSIONS Weight reduction can lead to a risk reduction of 11% in the incidence of proteinuria in obese Japanese adults. This is the first study to report the effects of weight reduction on the early phase of chronic kidney disease in obesity relevant to the characteristics of the Japanese general population. The present findings might have a role in renal health promotion in Japan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal function gradually declines with age. However, the association between changes in renal function and healthy aging has not been determined. This study examined the distribution of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) values in healthy subjects by age using large-scale cross-sectional data of health check-up participants in Japan. METHODS Among the 394,180 health check-up participants, 75,217 (19.1%) subjects without hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, obesity, proteinuria, smoking, past history of cardiovascular diseases, and renal failure/not undergoing dialysis were included in the healthy group. The distribution of eGFR values was determined at each age between 39 and 74 years. RESULTS in healthy subjects, the mean (± 2 SD range) values of eGFR (mL/min/1.73 m2) at ages 40, 50, 60, and 70 were 88.0 (55.4-121.7), 82.3 (51.2-113.3), 77.8 (48.1-107.6), and 72.9 (44.7-101.1), respectively. The difference in the mean eGFR by age was almost constant across all ages. In the linear regression analysis adjusted for sex, the regression coefficient of mean eGFR for a one-year increase in age was -0.46 mL/min/1.73 m2 in healthy subjects (P < 0.001). By sex, the distribution of eGFR and the 1-year change in eGFR showed similar results in both men and women. CONCLUSIONS Renal function slowly declined with age in a healthy population; however, it was relatively preserved until the mid 70 s. This result suggests that a decline in renal function often observed in the elderly does not attribute to aging alone, and further examination might be required to clarify the cause of renal impairment.

Abstract
Kidney disease is a frequent microvascular complication of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Historic trials have demonstrated that a tight glycaemic control is the most powerful approach to decrease the chances of developing diabetic nephropathy. However, having an HbA1c < 7% does not completely suppress the risk of kidney disease. The observed residual risk is likely ascribable to two phenomena: 1- the presence of risk factors and alterations additive to and independent of glycaemia, and 2- the activation of long-lasting imbalances by periods of exposure to uncontrolled glycemia, a phenomenon referred to as metabolic memory or legacy effect. Long-lasting oxidative stress, epigenetic alterations, cellular senescence, and the resulting chronic low-grade inflammation are all candidate mechanisms explaining the development of nephropathy despite proper control of risk factors. Recently, two classes of drugs, i.e. glucagon-like peptide (GLP) 1 receptor agonists (RA) and sodium-glucose transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-i) have changed this scenario. Indeed, cardiovascular outcome and other trials have clearly shown a renoprotective effect for these drugs, well-beyond their glucose-lowering properties. In this review, we summarize: 1- selected key trials and mechanisms underlying the development of diabetic kidney disease and 2- the results relative to renal endpoints in clinical trials of GLP-1 RA and SGLT-2i. Then, we briefly discuss some of the hypotheses posited to explain the marked renoprotective properties of these two classes, evidencing the still existing gaps in knowledge and proposing future directions to further implement the use of these powerful, disease-modifying drugs.

Abstract
Objective This study investigated associations between three indices of obesity-the body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR)-and the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods The employees of a company in Japan (1,725 men, 1,186 women; aged 35-55 years) had BMI, WC, and WHtR measured in health examinations. The incidence of CKD was determined at annual medical examinations over a six-year period. The hazard ratios for CKD were calculated using proportional hazard models, and the χ2 statistic was used to compare the strengths of the associations. Results The mean BMI (kg/m2), WC (cm), and WHtR were 23.6, 84.3, and 0.49 for men and 22.3, 79.7, and 0.50 for women, respectively. The incidence of CKD (/1,000 person-years) was 18.1 for men and 8.4 for women. In men, positive linear associations were observed between the BMI, WC, and WHtR and the risk of CKD, even after adjusting for the presence of metabolic abnormalities (p for trend <0.001, 0.012, and 0.023, respectively). In women, a linear association was observed only between the WHtR and CKD, not the BMI or WC (p for trend =0.042, 0.057, and 0.186). The χ2 statistics were the highest for the BMI in both men and women. Conclusion The BMI, WC, and WHtR were linearly associated with the risk of CKD independently of metabolic abnormalities in men, while the associations were weaker or not significant in women. The BMI was the most strongly associated with the incidence of CKD in both men and women.

Sodium Pentaborate Pentahydrate ameliorates lipid accumulation and pathological damage caused by high fat diet induced obesity in BALB/c mice. J Trace Elem Med Biol 2021; 66:126736. [PMID: 33711700 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtemb.2021.126736] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2021] [Revised: 02/23/2021] [Accepted: 03/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is one of the most popular topic in the field of research. In order to defeat this highly widespread disease, the mechanism of fat accumulation at the molecular level and its elimination are crucial. The use of boron has been showing promising results during the recent years. METHODS In this study, anti-obesity potential of Sodium Pentaborate Pentahydrate (SPP) used as a dietary supplement on BALB/c mice fed with a high-fat diet was evaluated. Mice were divided into four groups with different diets, consisting of a normal diet, a high-fat diet (HFD) (containing 60 % fat), a HFD-supplemented with 0.5 mg/g body weight (BW) of SPP and a HFD-supplemented with 1.5 mg/g body weight (BW) of SPP. The animals were then observed for 10 weeks and physically monitored, and were sacrificed at the end of the experiment for physical and physicochemical evaluation. RESULTS According to the physical parameters measured -body weight, food and water intake ratios-, the results indicate that SPP decreased weight gain in a dose dependent manner. Measurement of the hormone levels in the blood and fat accumulation in organs of mice also supported the anti-obesity effects of SPP. Expressions of adipogenesis related genes were also negatively regulated by SPP administration in white adipose tissue (WAT) tissue. CONCLUSION These findings promise a treatment approach and drug development that can be used against obesity when SPP is used in the right doses. As a future aspect, clinical studies with SPP will reveal the effect of boron derivatives on obesity.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, the shortage in the kidney donor pool as compared to the increasing number of candidates on the kidney transplant waitlist led to loosening of kidney donors’ acceptance criteria. Hypertension and obesity represent risk factors for chronic kidney disease, both in native kidneys and those in kidney transplant recipients. While great progress has been made in kidney transplantation from living donors to benefit the recipient survival and quality of life, progress has been slow to fully risk-characterize the donors. This review critically reassesses the current state of understanding regarding the risk of end-stage kidney disease in those donors with obesity, hypertension or both. Accurate risk assessment tools need to be developed urgently to fully understand the risk glomerular filtration rate compensation failure in the remaining kidney of the donors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) and obesity are independent risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aimed to determine if obesity modifies risk for CKD outcomes after AKI. METHODS This prospective multisite cohort study followed adult survivors after hospitalization, with or without AKI. The primary outcome was a combined CKD event of incident CKD, progression of CKD and kidney failure, examined using time-to-event Cox proportional hazards models, adjusted for diabetes status, age, pre-existing CKD, cardiovascular disease status and intensive care unit admission, and stratified by study center. Body mass index (BMI) was added as an interaction term to examine effect modification by body size. RESULTS The cohort included 769 participants with AKI and 769 matched controls. After median follow-up of 4.3 years, among AKI survivors, the rate of the combined CKD outcome was 84.7 per1000-person-years with BMI ≥30 kg/m2, 56.4 per 1000-person-years with BMI 25-29.9 kg/m2, and 72.6 per 1000-person-years with BMI 20-24.9 kg/m2. AKI was associated with a higher risk of combined CKD outcomes; adjusted-HR 2.43 (95%CI 1.87-3.16), with no evidence that this was modified by BMI (p for interaction = 0.3). After adjustment for competing risk of death, AKI remained associated with a higher risk of the combined CKD outcome (subdistribution-HR 2.27, 95%CI 1.76-2.92) and similarly, there was no detectable effect of BMI modifying this risk. CONCLUSIONS In this post-hospitalization cohort, we found no evidence for obesity modifying the association between AKI and development or progression of CKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our aim in this study was to explore the risk factors for kidney disease in Chinese men and women with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and to clarify the relationship between obesity and the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS This retrospective study included 3,194 patients with T2D. Among 2,574 T2D patients without CKD at baseline, 753 with follow-up records of at least 12 months were included in the retrospective cohort. Logistic regression and Cox regression were used to evaluate the risk for CKD in men and women. A restricted cubic spline model was used to analyze the association of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) with CKD risk. RESULTS Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that obesity was a risk factor for T2D with CKD in men but not in women. After a median follow-up period of 2.8 years, the incidence of CKD in men with obesity was significantly higher than that in men with obesity with T2D (p=0.039), but there was no statistically significant difference between women with obesity and women without obesity with T2D (p=0.825). In the restricted cubic spline model analysis, BMI and WC were associated with CKD risk in a nonlinear fashion in males and females. The risk of CKD was higher in males with a BMI of ≥29.5 kg/m2 or a WC of ≥100 cm, whereas there was no difference observed in females. CONCLUSIONS Obesity was strongly related to T2D with CKD in men. Male diabetes patients with obesity, especially abdominal obesity, are more likely to develop CKD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Both obesity and being underweight are risk factors for adverse outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. However, the effects of longitudinal weight changes on patients with predialysis CKD have not yet been studied. In this study, we analyzed the effects of weight change over time on the adverse outcomes in predialysis CKD population. METHODS Longitudinal data from a multicenter prospective cohort study (KNOW-CKD) were analyzed. In a total of 2,022 patients, the percent weight change per year were calculated using regression analysis and the study subjects were classified into five categories: group 1, ≤ -5%/year; group 2, -5< to ≤ -2.5%/year; group 3, -2.5< to <2.5%/year; group 4, 2.5≤ < 5%/year; and group 5, ≥5%/year. The incidences of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and the composite outcome of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and death were calculated in each group and compared to group 3 as reference. RESULTS During a median 4.4 years of follow-up, 414 ESRD, and 188 composite of CVD and mortality events occurred. Both weight gain and loss were independent risk factors for adverse outcomes. There was a U-shaped correlation between the degree of longitudinal weight change and ESRD (hazard ratio 3.61, 2.15, 1.86 and 3.66, for group 1, 2, 4 and 5, respectively) and composite of CVD and death (hazard ratio 2.92, 2.15, 1.73 and 2.54, respectively), when compared to the reference group 3. The U-shape correlation was most prominent in the subgroup of estimated glomerular filtration rate <45 mL/min/1.73 m2. CONCLUSION Both rapid weight gain and weight loss are associated with high risk of adverse outcomes, particularly in the advanced CKD.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies often aim to investigate the causal contribution of a risk factor to a disease or other outcome. In etiological research, one is usually interested in the (biological) mechanism(s) underlying the studied relationship. Inappropriate conduct of an etiological study may have major implications for the correctness of the results and interpretation of the findings. Therefore, in this paper, we aim to describe step by step how etiological research should be carried out, together with its common pitfalls. These steps involve finding and formulating a well-defined etiological research question, choosing an appropriate study design including a suitable comparison group, adequate modelling, and adequate reporting and interpretation of the results.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE It is unknown whether the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index as a measure of insulin resistance is associated with the risk of developing end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Because individuals who are overweight or obese often develop insulin resistance, mediation of the association between body mass index (BMI) and ESKD risk through the TyG index seems plausible but has not been investigated. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether the TyG index is associated with ESKD risk and, if so, to what extent the TyG index mediates the association between BMI and ESKD. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A total of 176 420 individuals were recruited during routine health examinations to participate in the Austrian Vorarlberg Health Monitoring and Promotion Program (VHM&PP), a prospective, population-based cohort study with participant enrollment between January 1, 1988, and June 30, 2005, and a mean follow-up of 22.7 years. Data analysis was conducted from March 1, 2020, to September 30, 2020. EXPOSURES Body mass index and the logarithmized product of fasting triglyceride and glucose concentrations (TyG index), as determined during the baseline health examination. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES End-stage kidney disease, as indicated by initiation of kidney replacement therapy, either dialysis or kidney transplantation. RESULTS Of the 176 420 participants, 94 885 were women (53.8%); mean (SD) age was 42.5 (15.4) years. During a mean (SD) follow-up of 22.7 (6.9) years, 454 (0.3%) participants developed ESKD and 35 234 (20.0%) died. In multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models, the TyG index was significantly associated with the risk of ESKD, both with (hazard ratio [HR] per 1-SD increase, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.56-1.82) and without (HR per 1-SD increase, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.66-1.93) the inclusion of BMI as a covariate. Mediation analysis using a newly proposed 2-stage regression method for survival data showed that a 5-point increase in BMI increased the risk of ESKD by 58% (HR [total association], 1.58; 95% CI, 1.43-1.75), and that 41.7% of the total association (95% CI, 31.6%-51.8%) was mediated through the TyG index (HR [indirect association], 1.21; 95% CI, 1.18-1.25). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This study found that the TyG index appeared to be associated with ESKD risk and mediates nearly half of the total association between BMI and ESKD in the general population. Public health efforts aiming at the reduction of body weight might decrease the kidney sequelae of insulin resistance and the burden of ESKD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an emerging public health priority in Central America. However, data on the prevalence of CKD in Guatemala, Central America's most populous country, are limited, especially for rural communities. METHODS We conducted a population-representative survey of 2 rural agricultural municipalities in Guatemala. We collected anthropometric data, blood pressure, serum and urine creatinine, glycosylated hemoglobin, and urine albumin. Sociodemographic, health, and exposure data were self-reported. RESULTS We enrolled 807 individuals (63% of all eligible, 35% male, mean age 39.5 years). An estimated 4.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.4-6.6) had CKD, defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2. Most individuals with an eGFR below 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 had diabetes or hypertension. In multivariable analysis, the important factors associated with risk for an eGFR less than 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 included a history of diabetes or hypertension (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 11.21; 95% CI 3.28-38.24), underweight (body mass index [BMI] <18.5) (aOR 21.09; 95% CI 2.05-217.0), and an interaction between sugar cane agriculture and poverty (aOR 1.10; 95% CI 1.01-1.19). CONCLUSIONS In this population-based survey, most observed CKD was associated with diabetes and hypertension. These results emphasize the urgent public health need to address the emerging epidemic of diabetes, hypertension, and CKD in rural Guatemala. In addition, the association between CKD and sugar cane in individuals living in poverty provides some circumstantial evidence for existence of CKD of unknown etiology in the study communities, which requires further investigation.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the main chronic diseases affecting the world population due to its high prevalence and increasing morbidity. Similarly, obesity gained the interest of the scientific community as it directly or indirectly increases mortality from cardiovascular causes, and its prevalence characterizes a pandemic. The objective of this study was to investigate obesity measured by body mass index as a predictor for end-stage renal disease in the general adult population. A systematic review and meta-analysis was carried out by searching 10 databases for prospective or retrospective cohort studies, with no restrictions on the language of publication, including adults with obesity without previous renal disease and who evolved to CKD (diagnosed by estimated glomerular filtration rate below 60 mL&mac_middot;min-1&mac_middot;(1.73 m2)-1 over the follow-up period. The R software and Meta package were used for data analysis. After removing duplicates, 5431 studies were submitted to the steps of the systematic review, and 21 articles were included in the data analysis. In total, 3,504,303 patients, 521,216 with obesity, and an average follow-up time of 9.86 years were included. The relative risk of obese people for developing CKD in the random effects model was 1.81 (95%CI: 1.52-2.16). The evidence found in this meta-analysis confirmed that obese people are at higher risk of developing CKD that the non-obese population (1.81 times higher), with obesity being a priority risk factor in preventive actions.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine if renal function varies by metabolic phenotype. A total of 9599 patients from a large Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) were included in the analysis. Metabolic health was classified as the absence of metabolic abnormalities defined by the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria, excluding waist circumference. Obesity was defined as body mass index >30 kg/m2 and renal health as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) >60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Linear and logistic regressions were used to analyze the data. The metabolically healthy overweight (MHO) phenotype had the highest eGFR (104.86 ± 28.76 mL/min/1.72 m2) and lowest unadjusted odds of chronic kidney disease (CKD) (OR = 0.46, 95%CI = 0.168, 1.267, p = 0.133), while the metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUN) phenotype demonstrated the lowest eGFR (91.34 ± 33.28 mL/min/1.72 m2) and the highest unadjusted odds of CKD (OR = 3.63, p < 0.0001). After controlling for age, sex, and smoking status, the metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO) (OR = 1.80, 95%CI = 1.08, 3.00, p = 0.024) was the only phenotype with significantly higher odds of CKD as compared to the reference. We demonstrate that the metabolically unhealthy phenotypes have the highest odds of CKD compared to metabolically healthy individuals.

Int J Obes (Lond) 2021; 45:1095-1104.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although it is well established that obesity is a risk factor for chronic kidney disease, the impact of distinct long-term body mass index (BMI) developmental patterns on renal function in later life is poorly understood. METHODS This study utilized data derived from the Hanzhong Adolescent Hypertension Cohort, a prospective cohort followed over 30 years. We used latent class growth mixture modeling method to identify the BMI trajectories of participants who had received BMI measurements at least three times from childhood (age: 6-15 years) to adulthood (age: 36-45 years). The modified Poisson regression model was used to identify potential associations between BMI trajectories and subclinical renal damage (SRD) in midlife. RESULTS Within a total of 2162 individuals, we identified four distinct long-term BMI trajectories: stable normal (54.72%), moderately increasing overweight (32.42%), resolving (10.27%), and progressively increasing obese (2.59%). By the latest follow-up in 2017, a total of 257 (13.1%) individuals were diagnosed with SRD. Compared with the stable normal group, the moderately increasing overweight group and the progressively increasing obese group exhibited significantly a higher urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio and a higher odd of existing SRD in 2017 (risk ratio [RR], 1.70 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.33-2.19] and 4.35 [95% CI, 3.00-6.30], respectively). However, individuals who resolved their elevated BMI in early life had a similar risk for SRD as those who had never been obese or overweight (RR, 1.17 [95% CI, 0.77-1.79]). CONCLUSIONS Child-to-adult BMI trajectories that worsen or persist at high levels were associated with an increased risk for SRD in midlife. Maintaining a normal BMI or reversing an elevated BMI in early life may be beneficial to renal function over the long term.

Abstract
The association between anemia and body mass index (BMI) in Koreans, considering kidney function, has not been clarified. Thus, we aimed to examine the association between anemia and BMI among Korean adults aged ≥19 years.This retrospective cross-sectional study evaluated male and female Korean adults aged ≥19 years who participated in the 5th, 6th, and 7th Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (KNHANES) conducted between 2010 and 2017 were used. The participants were classified as underweight, normal weight, and overweight according to their BMI. Anemia was defined as hemoglobin levels of <13 g/dL for men and <12 g/dL for women according to the World Health Organization standards. Kidney function was evaluated according to the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), with abnormal kidney function in men defined as eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Clinicodemographic variables were analyzed using logistic regression adjusted for weight. After propensity score matching (PSM), 6596 study participants were divided into 2 groups of 3298 participants each. Additionally, subgroup analysis by sex and kidney function was performed.On PSM, similar distribution patterns were obtained between the anemia and non-anemia groups; significant differences in BMI; kidney function; level of hemoglobin, hematocrit, and serum creatinine; iron intake; and eGFR were also observed between these groups. Anemia and BMI showed a significant association in both crude and adjusted logistic regression models. In model 2, which was adjusted for age, sex, education level, household income, alcohol consumption, smoking status, and exercise period, underweight men with abnormal kidney function showed a significantly higher risk of anemia than did normal weight men (odds ratio [OR]: 3.27; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.25-8.57; P = .016). Meanwhile, overweight men showed a significantly lower risk of anemia than did normal weight men (OR: 0.48; 95% CI: 0.33-0.70, P < .001).Anemia is associated with BMI according to sex. Compared with normal weight men, underweight men with abnormal kidney function had a significantly higher prevalence of anemia after adjusting for kidney function and sex, thus highlighting their need for careful management for anemia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The proportion of new dialysis patients with comorbidities increased by an average of 5.6% per year in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (PACA) region, with major increases in obese, cancer, and diabetic patients. This study aimed to describe comorbidity profiles among obese-diabetic end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients in the Renal Epidemiology and Information Network (REIN) registry of the PACA region of France on December 31, 2018. METHODS Data for this retrospective cross-sectional study were retrieved from the REIN registry of the PACA region. Data were analyzed using two models. Firstly, the ESRD patients were divided into two groups and binary logistic regression model used for the analysis of the data. Secondly, ESRD patients were divided into four groups and multinomial logistic regression model used. Univariate analysis was performed for group comparison using x2 and t-tests, while binary logistic and multinomial logistic regression models were used for multivariate analysis to derive ORs and 95% CIs. RESULTS Among the 4,491 ESRD patients in this study, 623 were obese-diabetic and 3,868 nonobese-nondiabetic and obese only/ diabetic only. Obese-diabetic ESRD patients were younger (<75 years, OR 0.46, p<0.001), smoked less (OR 0.51, p<0.001), were mainly dialyzed at centers (OR 1.29, p=0.014), and less likely to be on the renal transplant waiting list (OR 0.46, p<0.001) compared to the other group. Obese-diabetic ESRD patients also had more comorbidities, including cardiovascular diseases (OR 1.38, p=0.028), coronary insufficiency (OR 1.49, p=0.001) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR 1.75, p<0.001), but had fewer cases of cancer (OR 0.68, p=0.024) compare to the other group. CONCLUSION Obese-diabetic patients with ESRD have many specific characteristics. These patients were younger, but had more cardiovascular comorbidities and were less likely to be on the waiting list for transplantation. They should receive special attention and be the subject of prevention and therapeutic education.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to understand the prevalence of reduced kidney function in China by sociodemographics and geographical region, and to examine health correlates of reduced kidney function. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Participants were 6706 adults ≥60 years from the 2015-2016 wave of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. OUTCOME MEASURES Reduced kidney function was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate of less than 60 mL/min per 1.73 m². The estimated glomerular filtration rate was calculated with the creatinine-cystatin C equation developed by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration in 2012. The associations between reduced kidney function and potential risk factors were analysed using multivariable regression models. RESULTS The prevalence of reduced kidney function was 10.3% (95% CI: 9.3% to 11.2%), corresponding to approximately 20 million older adults. Multivariable analysis showed that older adults with hypertension (β=-3.61, 95% CI: -4.42 to 2.79), cardiac disease (β=-1.90, 95% CI: -2.93 to 0.86), who had a stroke (β=-3.75, 95% CI: -6.35 to 1.15), kidney disease (β=-3.88, 95% CI: -5.62 to 2.13), slow gait speed (β=-2.23, 95% CI: -3.27 to 1.20), and living in the South (β=-4.38, 95% CI: -5.95 to 2.80) and South Central (β=-1.85, 95% CI: -3.15 to 0.56) were more significantly likely to have reduced kidney function. CONCLUSIONS Kidney function screening should be performed, especially in patients with hypertension, cardiac disease and who had a stroke. More efforts should be paid to improve the kidney function of older adults living in the South and South Central parts of China.
