Abstract
Purpose: There has been limited evidence for the association between pulse pressure (PP) and proteinuria in prediabetes. The aim of our study was to explore the association between PP and albuminuria in community-dwelling Chinese adults with prediabetes. Materials and Methods: PP and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) were measured in 2012 prediabetic patients and 3596 control subjects with normal glucose tolerance. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate the possible association of PP with the risk of presence of albuminuria. Results: PP was positively associated with the presence of albuminuria, and subjects in the higher PP quartiles had higher urinary ACR and presence of albuminuria as compared with those in the lowest quartile in both prediabetes and control groups (all P < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the highest PP quartile was positively associated with increased risk of presence of albuminuria in all prediabetic subjects [odds ratio (OR): 2.289, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.364-3.842, P < 0.01) and prediabetic subjects without anti-hypertensive drugs (OR: 1.932, 95% CI 1.116-3.343, P < 0.01), whereas higher PP quartile has nothing to do with the risk of presence of albuminuria in control subjects with and without anti-hypertensive drugs after adjustment for potential confounders (all P > 0.01). Consistently, stratified analysis showed that in the prediabetes group, the risks of presence of albuminuria progressively elevated with increasing PP quartiles in men, those aged 60 years or older, and with overweight/obesity, normal high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and appropriate low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (all P for trend <0.05). Conclusion: Higher PP is independently related to increased risk of presence of albuminuria in community-dwelling Chinese adults with prediabetes.

Factors associated with early-onset intracranial aneurysms in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. J Nephrol 2024; 37:983-992. [PMID: 38315279 DOI: 10.1007/s40620-023-01866-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, the importance of attribute-based medicine has been emphasized. The effects of early-onset intracranial aneurysms on patients can be significant and long-lasting. Herein, we compared the factors associated with intracranial aneurysms in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) according to age categories (≥ 50 years, < 50 years). METHODS We included 519 ADPKD patients, with a median age of 44 years, estimated glomerular filtration rate of 54.5 mL/min/1.73 m2, and total follow-up duration of 3104 patient-years. Logistic regression analyses were performed to determine factors associated with intracranial aneurysms. RESULTS Regarding the presence of intracranial aneurysm, significant interactions were identified between the age category (age ≥ 50 years), female sex (P = 0.0027 for the interaction) and hypertension (P = 0.0074 for the interaction). Female sex and hypertension were associated with intracranial aneurysm risk factors only in patients aged ≥ 50 years. The presence of intracranial aneurysm was significantly associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 4-5 (odds ratio [OR] = 3.87, P = 0.0007) and family history of intracranial aneurysm or subarachnoid hemorrhage (OR = 2.30, P = 0.0217) in patients aged < 50 years. For patients aged ≥ 50 years, in addition to the abovementioned factors [OR = 2.38, P = 0.0355 for CKD stages 4-5; OR = 3.49, P = 0.0094 for family history of intracranial aneurysm or subarachnoid hemorrhage], female sex (OR = 4.51, P = 0.0005), and hypertension (OR = 5.89, P = 0.0012) were also associated with intracranial aneurysm. CONCLUSION Kidney dysfunction and family history of intracranial aneurysm or subarachnoid hemorrhage are risk factors for early-onset intracranial aneurysm. Patients aged < 50 years with a family history of intracranial aneurysm or subarachnoid hemorrhage or with CKD stages 4-5 may be at an increased risk of early-onset intracranial aneurysm.

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

Abstract
The success of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and bariatric surgery in patients with chronic kidney disease has highlighted the importance of glomerular hyperfiltration and hypertrophy in the progression of kidney disease. Sustained glomerular hyperfiltration and hypertrophy can lead to glomerular injury and progressive kidney damage. This article explores the relationship between obesity and chronic kidney disease, focusing on the roles of glomerular hyperfiltration and hypertrophy as hallmarks of obesity-related kidney disease. The pathological mechanisms underlying this association include adipose tissue inflammation, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, chronic systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and overactivation of the sympathetic nervous system, as well as the renin-angiotensin aldosterone system. This article explains how glomerular hyperfiltration results from increased renal blood flow and intraglomerular hypertension, inducing mechanical stress on the filtration barrier and post-filtration structures. Injured glomeruli increase in size before sclerosing and collapsing. Therefore, using extreme values, such as the maximal glomerular diameter, could improve the understanding of the data distribution and allow for better kidney failure predictions. This review provides important insights into the mechanisms underlying glomerular hyperfiltration and hypertrophy and highlights the need for further research using glomerular size, including maximum glomerular profile, calculated using needle biopsy specimens.

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

Abstract
Attribute-based medicine is essential for patient-centered medicine. To date, the groups of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) requiring urate-lowering therapy are clinically unknown. Herein, we evaluated the efficacy of febuxostat using a cross-classification, attribute-based research approach. We performed post hoc analysis of multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial data for 395 patients with stage 3 CKD and asymptomatic hyperuricemia. Participants were divided into febuxostat or placebo groups and subcohorts stratified and cross-classified by proteinuria and serum creatinine concentrations. In patients stratified based on proteinuria, the mean eGFR slopes were significantly higher in the febuxostat group than in the placebo group (P = 0.007) in the subcohort without proteinuria. The interaction between febuxostat treatment and presence of proteinuria in terms of eGFR slope was significant (P for interaction = 0.019). When cross-classified by the presence of proteinuria and serum creatinine level, the mean eGFR slopes significantly differed between the febuxostat and placebo groups (P = 0.040) in cross-classified subcohorts without proteinuria and with serum creatinine level ≥ median, but not in the cross-classified subcohorts with proteinuria and serum creatinine level < median. Febuxostat mitigated the decline in kidney function among stage 3 CKD patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia without proteinuria.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and clinicopathologic parameters in patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN). METHODS This study was retrospective and included patients with biopsy-proven IMN from 2018 to 2021 in Hebei General Hospital. Patients were categorized into two groups based on BMI. Clinical and histopathologic data were analyzed at the time of renal biopsy. Pathological data included immunofluorescence staining, glomerulosclerosis (GS, 0-2), mesangial cell proliferation (MCP, 0-1), tubular atrophy (TA, 0-1), interstitial fibrosis (IF, 0-1), vascular wall thickness (VWT, 0-1) and a combination score (GMTIV) graded from 0 to 5. RESULTS Our study revealed that the obese group had a higher prevalence of hypertension and diabetes than the overweight/normal weight group (P=0.001, P=0.002). Systolic blood pressure (P=0.005), diastolic blood pressure (P<0.001), haemoglobin (P=0.006), triglycerides (P<0.001), serum uric acid (P=0.05), 24 h urine proteinuria concentration (UP) (P=0.012), MCP (P=0.042), IF (P=0.033), and GMITV (P=0.033) score were higher in obese group compared to the other group, while the high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (P=0.034) and immunoglobulin A deposition score (P=0.005) were lower. Factors significantly associated with UP were the ratio of lymphocyte count to white blood cell count, serum pre-albumin, immunoglobulin G, microscopic hematuria, anti-phospholipase A2 receptor (anti-PLA2R), C3 deposit on multivariable analysis (adjusted R 2=0.343). Binary logistic regression analysis illustrated that MCP was correlated to BMI (OR=2.528, P=0.036). Ordinal logistic regression analysis demonstrated that GMTIV was associated with BMI (OR=1.114, P=0.010) and C3 deposit (OR=1.655, P=0.001). CONCLUSION High BMI was associated with MCP and GMTIV score in IMN patients. Obesity may play an essential role in mesangial lesions of IMN. This study emphasized the relation between BMI and histological parameters under the universal usage of anti-PLA2R antibodies for diagnosis and prognosis in IMN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most patients with autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) develop liver cysts and polycystic liver disease as they age. To date, no simple clinical indicator has been confirmed to predict polycystic liver disease exacerbation. Furthermore, the effect of the type and location of mutation on disease progression of polycystic liver disease remains unclear. Here, we aimed to establish a simple liver cyst indicator for clinical practice and investigate whether gene mutations determined liver phenotype in patients with autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease. METHODS In total, 129 patients with ADPKD were enrolled and liver cyst indicators were assessed based on mutation type (truncating mutation: nonsense, frameshift, and splicing mutation; non-truncating mutation: substitution) and mutation position. Liver cyst severity was determined using Gigot and Drenth classifications, based on their number, maximum diameter, and area ratio with the liver. RESULTS We observed an overall prevalence of 62.8% for polycystic liver disease. Patients with PKD1 nonsense mutations, a type of PKD1 truncating mutation, exhibited more severe liver disease phenotypes than those without the mutation. We identified maximum diameter as a potential liver cyst indicator. Moreover, a subgroup analysis that included a PKD1 nonsense mutation cohort revealed that genetic mutations located closer to the 5' end of PKD1 were associated with a maximum diameter index value ≥ 6 cm. CONCLUSION PKD1 nonsense mutations were associated with liver cyst severity, which along with maximum diameter index as a simple clinical indicator for liver cysts, may improve the treatment of polycystic liver disease associated with ADPKD.

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

Sex Differences in Time-Series Changes in Pseudo- R2 Values Regarding Hyperuricemia in Relation to the Kidney Prognosis. J Pers Med 2020; 10:jpm10040248.

Abstract
Studies on sex differences in time-series changes in pseudo-R2 values regarding hyperuricemia (HU) in relation to the kidney prognosis among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are scant. The kidney prognosis was evaluated in 200 patients with CKD (median follow-up, 12.3 years). Survival analyses and logistic regression analyses were conducted, generating time-series pseudo-R2 values. We used four definitions of HU according to serum uric acid (SUA) levels (HU6, SUA ≥ 6.0 mg/dL; HU7, SUA ≥ 7.0 mg/dL; HU8, SUA ≥ 8.0 mg/dL) and antihyperuricemic agent use to calculate the mean and percentage of the change in pseudo-R2 values from the 6th year until the end of the study (6Y–End Mean and 6Y–End Change, respectively). The multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that HU7 was significantly associated with kidney outcomes. When stratified by sex, the 6Y–End Mean was clearly higher in women than in men for all HU definitions, with the highest value (0.1755) obtained for HU7 in women. The pseudo-R2 values for HU6 in women showed an increasing pattern, with a 6Y–End Change of 11.4%/year. Thus, it may be clinically meaningful to consider sex differences in the time-series pseudo-R2 values regarding HU and kidney outcomes.

Visceral to subcutaneous fat ratio as an indicator of a ≥30% eGFR decline in chronic kidney disease. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0241626.

Abstract
Whether the visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio (V/S ratio) is associated with renal prognosis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unclear. Furthermore, little is known about the effect of sex and the absolute amount of visceral fat accumulation such as visceral fat area (VFA) ≥100 cm2 on the V/S ratio in relation to renal prognosis. In this study, 200 patients with CKD were evaluated for renal prognosis. Survival analyses and logistic regression analyses were conducted, generating time-series pseudo-R2 values. The mean and percent change of the pseudo-R2 values from the 6th year to the 10th year (6Y–10Y Mean and 6Y–10Y Change, respectively) were calculated for determining the cut-off points for the medium-term renal prognosis. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that the V/S ratio was significantly associated with renal outcomes and that the VFA category (VFA ≥ 100 cm2) had significant interactions with the V/S ratio regarding renal prognosis. The hazard ratio (HR) of the V/S ratio was higher in the sub-cohort of VFA < 100 cm2 than in the sub-cohort of VFA ≥ 100 cm2 (HR: 6.42 vs. 1.00). Regarding sex differences, a strong association was noted between the V/S ratio and renal prognosis in women but not in men (HR: 2.40 vs. 1.10). On the other hand, 6Y–10Y Mean of the pseudo-R2 values indicated differences in the cut-off points of the V/S ratio between men and women (V/S ratio: 0.75 vs. 0.5). Our findings indicate that it may be clinically meaningful to consider the differences in sex and the amount of VFA ≥100 cm2 for the V/S ratio in relation to renal outcomes in patients with CKD. The 6Y–10Y Mean of the pseudo-R2 values contributed to determining the cut-off points of the V/S ratio according to the sex difference.

Maximum Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Association with Renal Outcomes. J Atheroscler Thromb 2020; 28:491-505.

Abstract
Aim:
We aimed to examine the association between the maximum intima-media thickness of the carotid artery (Max IMT) and renal prognosis, considering their potential interaction with age.
Methods:
Survival analyses were performed in 112 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), to assess renal prognosis, with the endpoint defined as a ≥ 30% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or end-stage renal disease.
Results:
During a median follow-up of 12.5 years, 44 participants reached the study endpoint. The major determinant of Max IMT was the maximum IMT of the internal carotid artery (Max ICA-IMT), which was the distribution ratio of 50.0% of Max IMT. Kaplan–Meier analyses showed that Max IMT ≥ 1.5 mm was significantly associated with renal prognosis when age and eGFR were matched. On multivariate Cox regression analysis, Max IMT was significantly associated with the renal outcomes and had a significant interaction with the age categories (≥ 65 years or <65 years) (
P
=0.0153 for interaction). A 1-mm increase in Max IMT was significantly associated with disease progression in the sub-cohort <65 years age-category, but not in the ≥ 65 years age-category; similarly the hazard ratio (HR) in the <65 years age-category was higher than in the ≥ 65 years age-category (HR: 2.52 vs. 0.95). Comparable results were obtained for Max ICA-IMT, Max bulb-IMT, but not for Max common carotid artery-IMT.
Conclusions:
A higher Max IMT was a significant renal prognosis factor in patients with CKD aged <65 years. Our results may provide new insights into treating CKD.
