Fibroblast Growth

Although the important role of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)23 on cardiac remodeling has been suggested in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), little is known about serum (s)FGF23 levels in patients with heart failure (HF) due to nonischemic cardiac disease (NICD) and early CKD. The present study aimed to investigate sFGF23 levels in NICD patients and identify the responsible factors for the elevation of sFGF23 levels. We prospectively measured sFGF23 levels in consecutive hospitalized NICD patients with early CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 40 ml·min−1·1.73 m−2) and analyzed the data of both echocardiography and right heart catheterization. Of the 156 NICD patients (estimated glomerular filtration rate range: 41–128 ml·min−1·1.73 m−2), the most severe HF symptom (New York Heart Association class III-IV, 53% vs. 33%, P = 0.015) was found in the above median sFGF23 (39.1 pg/ml) group compared with the below median sFGF23 group. sFGF23 levels were higher in patients with HF hospitalization history compared with those without HF [median: 46.8 (interquartile range: 38.8–62.7) vs. 34.7 (interquartile range: 29.6–42.4) pg/ml, P < 0.0001]. In the multivariate analysis, HF hospitalization was independently related to elevated sFGF23 levels ( P = 0.022). Both systolic dysfunction and high plasma aldosterone concentration were identified as predictors of high sFGF23 levels ( P < 0.05). Among the neurohormonal parameters, elevated sFGF23 levels were the only factor to predict a declining left ventricular ejection fraction ( P = 0.001). These findings suggest that the progression of HF per se contributes to the elevation of sFGF23 levels even in the early stages of CKD, which leads to further myocardial dysfunction, potentially creating a vicious cycle.

Abstract Background and Aims Recent evidences showed an association between NAFLD and extrahepatic manifestations such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) although the result is still inconclusive. This study aims to measure the association of microalbuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline as CKD risks in NAFLD patients. Method Comprehensive searching using predefined queries was done through online databases Pubmed, EMBASE, ScienceDirect, and The Cochrane Library to include all relevant literature until November 2020. We included all cohort studies of NAFLD patients diagnosed by ultrasonography (USG), commutated tomography (CT), or scoring system fatty liver index (FLI) that reports microalbuminuria and eGFR decline below 60 ml/min/1.73m2. Bias risk was assessed by The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for cohort studies. Analysis of this study was performed to provide pooled hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) using random-effect heterogeneity test. Results We included 10 cohort studies met our criteria. Analysis of 6 NAFLD cohort studies diagnosed by USG is significantly associated with eGFR decline (pooled HR = 1.54, 95% CI 1.13 to 2.11, p=0.006, I2=88%), while NAFLD patients diagnosed by FLI also showed significant association with eGFR decline (pooled HR = 1.58, 95% CI 1.52 to 1.64, p&lt;0.0001, I2=0%), thus overall analysis combined with CT diagnostic modalities showed significant association between NAFLD and eGFR decline (pooled HR=1.53 95%CI 1.29-1.80 p&lt;0.00001 I2=82%). Microalbuminuria risk is significantly increased in NAFLD patients (pooled HR = 1.93, 95% CI 1.39 to 2.67, p&lt;0.0001, I2=0%). Surprisingly, NAFLD patients whose increased gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) has higher eGFR decline risk (pooled HR = 1.73, 95% CI 1.02 to 2.92, p=0.04, I2=78%). Conclusion Microalbuminuria and eGFR decline are associated as CKD risks in NAFLD patients. However, further studies are still needed to establish the causality.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a well-known risk factor for postoperative complications in several surgical fields. However, although prevalent among diabetic candidates for vitrectomy, the effect of CKD on vitrectomy outcomes remains unclear. This study aimed at clarifying the relationship between CKD and the occurrence of vitrectomy-related complications in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). The 6-month incidences of vitreous hemorrhage (VH) and neovascular glaucoma (NVG) following vitrectomy for PDR were compared among the following groups: stages 1–2 CKD (60 patients), stages 3–5 CKD (70 patients not on hemodialysis), and hemodialysis (HD; 30 patients). We also determined whether the deterioration of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was associated with post-vitrectomy events. The incidence of VH was significantly higher in the stages 3–5 CKD group (43%) than in the stages 1–2 CKD (10%) and HD (10%) groups. NVG was more common in the stages 3–5 CKD group (17%) than in the stages 1–2 CKD (2%) and HD (0%) groups. The reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was the only significant variable associated with post-vitrectomy VH and NVG. Patients with PDR and CKD, particularly those with lower eGFR, might be at risk for post-vitrectomy VH and NVG.

Background: Vascular calcification in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) is correlated with uremic toxins and severely impaired calciumphosphate- parathyroid metabolism. The association factors of vascular calcification in early-stage CKD are still unestablished. Objective: To identify the risk factors for vascular calcification in the early-stage CKD, which was the non-target population, different from other previous studies that explored this association in advanced stage CKD. Materials and Methods: The present study was a longitudinal study conducted to examine the risk factors of vascular calcification in CKD stage G2 and G3 patients who had no previous cardiovascular diseases. All parameters including coronary artery calcification (CAC) and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) at baseline and after twelve months were evaluated. Results: Twenty-two patients without established cardiovascular diseases were included and completed the follow-up period. Mean baseline LDL was 99 mg/dL and no patient received statin. At 12-month, the median CAC score was significantly increased to 266 (126 to 956) versus 282 (198 to 846), (p=0.024]. By multivariable analysis in generalized estimating equations, only estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was associated with CAC score greater than 400 (aOR 0.92, p=0.041), and AAC score greater than 5 (aOR 0.90, p=0.023). Conclusion: In early-stage CKD, eGFR was associated with vascular calcification. Further studies should explore the potential benefits of delaying CKD progression on vascular calcification in the early-stage CKD patients.
