Fibroblast growth factor-23 and cardiovascular disease among prevalent hemodialysis patients focusing on residual kidney function. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1099975. [PMID: 37501787 PMCID: PMC10368752 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1099975] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Background In patients undergoing incident hemodialysis, increased fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) levels are associated with the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the influence of residual kidney function (RFK) on this association is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between FGF-23 levels, RKF, and CVD in patients undergoing prevalent hemodialysis. Methods This cross-sectional and longitudinal observational study included 296 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis for at least three months who were followed up for a median of 44 months. RKF was defined as 24-h urine output >200 mL, left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction as E/E' >15 on echocardiographic parameters. CVD was defined as hospitalization or emergency room visits due to cardiovascular causes, such as angina, myocardial infarction, or congestive heart failure. Results The median intact FGF-23 (iFGF-23) level was 423.8 pg/mL (interquartile range, 171-1,443). Patients with an FGF-23 level > 423.8 pg/mL significantly had a lower proportion of RKF (39.2% vs. 60.1%, P < 0.001) and a higher proportion of LV diastolic dysfunction (54. 1% vs. 29.1%, P < 0.001) than those with an iFGF-23 level ≤ 423.8 pg/mL. The odds ratio (OR) for LV diastolic dysfunction was significantly higher in patients with RFK (OR per one-unit increase in the natural log-transformed iFGF-23 levels, 1.80; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.11-2.93) than in patients without RKF (OR per one-unit increase in the natural log-transformed iFGF-23 levels: 1.42; 95% CI: 1.01-1.99) in multivariate analysis (p < 0.001). During the follow-up period, 55 patients experienced CVD. The hazard ratio (HR) for CVD development was also significantly higher in patients with RKF (HR per one-unit increase in the natural log-transformed iFGF-23 levels, 2.64; 95% CI: 1.29-5.40) than those without RKF (HR per one-unit increase in the natural log-transformed iFGF-23 levels: 1.44; 95% CI: 1.04-1.99) in multivariate analysis (p = 0.05). Conclusions Increased iFGF-23 levels were associated with LV diastolic dysfunction and CVD development in patients undergoing prevalent hemodialysis; however, the loss of RKF attenuated the magnitude of these associations. Therefore, in these patients, RKF strongly influenced the detrimental role of iFGF-23 in the development of CVD.

Abstract
Rationale and Objective Serum magnesium levels have been inversely yet inconsistently associated with cardiovascular (CV) outcomes. In this study, we examined the association of serum magnesium levels with CV outcomes in the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) participants. Study Design Case-control post hoc analysis of SPRINT. Setting & Participants A total of 2,040 SPRINT participants with available serum samples at baseline level were included in this study. Case participants (n = 510) who experienced a CV event during the SPRINT observation period (median follow-up of 3.2 years) and control participants (n = 1,530) without CV events were sampled in a 1:3 ratio for measurements of serum magnesium level at baseline and 2-year follow-up. Predictors Baseline serum magnesium levels and 2-year percentage change in serum magnesium levels (ΔSMg). Outcome SPRINT primary composite CV outcome. Analytical Approach Multivariable conditional logistic regression analysis, accounting for matching factors, was used to evaluate the association of baseline and ΔSMg with CV outcomes. Individual matching of cases and controls was based on the SPRINT treatment arm allocation (standard vs intensive) and prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Results The median serum magnesium level at baseline was similar among the case and control groups. In a fully adjusted model, each standard deviation (SD) (0.18 mg/dL) higher of the baseline serum magnesium level was independently associated with a lower risk for composite CV outcomes in all study participants (adjusted odds ratio 95% CI, 0.79 [0.70-0.89]). This association was similar when serum magnesium levels were analyzed in quartiles but dissipated in the standard (vs intensive) arm of SPRINT (0.88 [0.76-1.02] vs 0.65 [0.53-0.79], respectively; Pinteraction = 0.06). The presence or absence of CKD at baseline did not modify this association. ΔSMg was not independently associated with CV outcomes occurring after 2 years. Limitations ΔSMg was small in magnitude, limiting effect size. Conclusions Higher baseline serum magnesium levels were independently associated with reduced risk for CV outcomes in all study participants, but ΔSMg was not associated with CV outcomes.

J Am Soc Nephrol 2022; 33:2087-2093. [PMID: 36316091 PMCID: PMC9678027 DOI: 10.1681/asn.2021111493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2021] [Accepted: 06/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated serum phosphate and parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentrations are associated with cardiovascular events, bone disease, and mortality in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. Although circadian changes are known in people with CKD, it is unknown whether differences occur in these parameters over the course of a day in people receiving hemodialysis. METHODS We used clinical data from Fresenius Medical Care US dialysis clinics to determine how the time of day when measurements were collected (hemodialysis treatment start time) may be associated with serum phosphate and PTH concentrations. We used harmonic regression to assess these associations while accounting for demographic data and treatment parameters. RESULTS A total of 96,319 patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis were included in this analysis. Patients had a mean age of 64±14 years, 43% were women, and dialysis start times ranged from 3:00 am to 7:59 pm. The mean serum phosphate concentration was 5.2±1.5 mg/dl, and the median PTH was 351 pg/ml (interquartile range [IQR], 214-547). In fully adjusted models, serum phosphate had a nadir at 11:00 am of 4.97 (IQR, 4.94-5.01) mg/dl and a peak at 7:00 pm of 5.56 (IQR, 5.50-5.62) mg/dl. Serum PTH had a nadir at 9:00 am of 385 (IQR, 375-395) pg/ml and a peak at 7:00 pm of 530 (IQR, 516-547) pg/ml. CONCLUSIONS Among patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis, concentrations of PTH and phosphate before a dialysis session vary with the time of day that these values are measured. Consideration of whether these values were obtained at peak or nadir times of the day may be important in treatment decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Measures of kidney tubule health are risk markers for acute kidney injury (AKI) in persons with chronic kidney disease (CKD) during hypertension treatment, but their associations with other adverse events (AEs) are unknown. METHODS Among 2377 Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) participants with CKD, we measured at baseline eight urine biomarkers of kidney tubule health and two serum biomarkers of mineral metabolism pathways that act on the kidney tubules. Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate biomarker associations with risk of a composite of pre-specified serious AEs (hypotension, syncope, electrolyte abnormalities, AKI, bradycardia and injurious falls) and outpatient AEs (hyperkalemia and hypokalemia). RESULTS At baseline, the mean age was 73 ± 9 years and mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 46 ± 11 mL/min/1.73 m2. During a median follow-up of 3.8 years, 716 (30%) participants experienced the composite AE. Higher urine interleukin-18, kidney injury molecule-1, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), lower urine uromodulin (UMOD) and higher serum fibroblast growth factor-23 were individually associated with higher risk of the composite AE outcome in multivariable-adjusted models including eGFR and albuminuria. When modeling biomarkers in combination, higher NGAL [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.08 per 2-fold higher biomarker level, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03-1.13], higher MCP-1 (HR = 1.11, 95% CI 1.03-1.19) and lower UMOD (HR = 0.91, 95% CI 0.85-0.97) were each associated with higher composite AE risk. Biomarker associations did not vary by intervention arm (P > 0.10 for all interactions). CONCLUSIONS Among persons with CKD, several kidney tubule biomarkers are associated with higher risk of AEs during hypertension treatment, independent of eGFR and albuminuria.

Relationship between intact parathyroid hormone and all-cause death, cardiovascular events, and ectopic calcification in patients with diabetic kidney disease: A retrospective study. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2021; 177:108926. [PMID: 34161808 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabres.2021.108926] [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: 03/16/2021] [Revised: 06/11/2021] [Accepted: 06/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
AIM We aimed to investigate the relationship between intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels and all-cause death, cardiovascular events, and ectopic calcification in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we collected the clinical data of 508 patients with clinically diagnosed DKD. The primary and secondary outcomes were all-cause death or cardiovascular events and ectopic calcification, respectively. We used different regression methods to analyze the relationship between various clinical parameters and the two clinical outcomes. RESULTS We found that iPTH was a risk factor for all-cause death and cardiovascular events (hazards ration [HR]: 2.817, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.045-6.562, P = 0.016). Meanwhile, diabetes duration (HR: 1.090, 95% CI: 1.045-1.138, P < 0.0001), triglycerides (TG) (HR: 1.254, 95% CI: 1.049-1.499, P = 0.013), and iPTH (HR: 1.954, 95% CI: 1.001-3.813, P = 0.049) were independent risk factors for ectopic calcification. In contrast to patients with lower iPTH levels (iPTH < 31.7 pg/mL), patients with higher iPTH levels (iPTH ≥ 31.7 pg/mL) had increased ectopic calcification rate (P = 0.002) and decreased survival time (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION In patients with DKD, higher iPTH levels were significantly related to worsen clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with frailty. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is elevated in CKD and associated with frailty among non-CKD older adults and individuals with human immunodeficiency virus. Whether FGF23 is associated with frailty and falls in CKD is unknown. DESIGN Cross-sectional and longitudinal observational study. SETTING Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT), a randomized trial evaluating standard (systolic blood pressure [SBP] <140 mm Hg) versus intensive (SBP <120 mm Hg) blood pressure lowering on cardiovascular and cognitive outcomes among older adults without diabetes mellitus. PARTICIPANTS A total of 2,376 participants with CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 ). MEASUREMENTS The exposure variable was intact FGF23. We used multinomial logistic regression to determine the cross-sectional association of intact FGF23 with frailty and Cox proportional hazards analysis to determine the longitudinal association with incident falls. Models were adjusted for demographics, comorbidities, randomization group, antihypertensives, eGFR, mineral metabolism markers, and frailty. RESULTS After adjustment, the odds ratio for prevalent frailty versus non-frailty per twofold higher FGF23 was 1.34 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.01-1.77). FGF23 levels in the highest quartile versus the lowest quartile demonstrated more than a twofold increased fall risk (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.32; 95% CI = 1.26-4.26), and the HR per twofold higher FGF23 was 1.99 (95% CI = 1.48-2.68). CONCLUSION Among SPRINT participants with CKD, FGF23 was associated with prevalent frailty and falls.

Intact and C-Terminal FGF23 Assays-Do Kidney Function, Inflammation, and Low Iron Influence Relationships With Outcomes? J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2020; 105:5909159. [PMID: 32951052 PMCID: PMC7571450 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgaa665] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2020] [Accepted: 09/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
CONTEXT Higher fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) concentrations are associated with heart failure and mortality in diverse populations, but the strengths of associations differ markedly depending up on which assay is used. OBJECTIVE We sought to evaluate whether iron deficiency, inflammation, or kidney function account for differences in the strengths of associations between these 2 FGF23 assays with clinical outcomes. DESIGN Case cohort study from the Cardiovascular Health Study. SETTING A total of 844 community-dwelling individuals aged 65 years or older with and without chronic kidney disease were followed for 10 years. OUTCOMES Outcomes included death, incident heart failure (HF), and incident myocardial infarction (MI). Exposure was baseline intact and C-terminal FGF23. Using modified Cox models, adjusting sequentially we tested whether observed associations of each assay with outcomes were attenuated by iron status, inflammation, kidney function, or their combinations. RESULTS FGF23 measured by either assay was associated with mortality in unadjusted analysis (intact FGF23 hazard ratio [HR] per 2-fold higher 1.45; 95% CI, 1.25-1.68; C-terminal FGF23 HR 1.38; 95% CI, 1.26-1.50). Adjustment for kidney function completely attenuated associations of intact FGF23 with mortality (HR 1.00; 95% CI, 0.85-1.17), but had much less influence on the association of C-terminal FGF23, for which results remained significant after adjustment (HR 1.15; 95% CI, 1.04-1.28). Attenuation was much less with adjustment for iron status or inflammation. Results were similar for the HF end point. Neither C-terminal or intact FGF23 was associated with MI risk. CONCLUSIONS The relationship of FGF23 with clinical end points is markedly different depending on the type of FGF23 assay used. The associations of biologically active FGF23 with clinical end points may be confounded by kidney disease, and thus much weaker than previously thought.

Abstract
The discovery of clear molecular mechanisms of early cardiac and vascular complications in patients with prediabetes and known diabetes mellitus are core element of stratification at risk with predictive model creation further. Previous clinical studies have shown a pivotal role of impaired signaling axis of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), FGF23 receptor isoforms and its co-factor Klotho protein in cardiovascular (CV) complications in prediabetes and diabetes. Although there were data received in clinical studies, which confirmed a causative role of altered function of FGF-23/Klotho protein axis in manifestation of CV disease in prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the target therapy of these diseases directing on improvement of metabolic profiles, systemic and adipokine-relating inflammation by beneficial restoring of dysregulation in FGF-23/Klotho protein axis remain to be not fully clear. The aim of the review was to summarize findings regarding the role of impaired FGF-23/Klotho protein axis in developing CV complications in patients with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It has been elucidated that elevated levels of FGF-23 and deficiency of Klotho protein in peripheral blood are predictors of CV disease and CV outcomes in patients with (pre) diabetes, while predictive values of dynamic changes of the concentrations of these biomarkers require to be elucidated in detail in the future.
