Abstract Background The difference in the clinical impact of alcohol consumption on kidney function based on sex remains to be elucidated. This study aimed to assess the association between the dose of alcohol consumption and the incidence of proteinuria and chronic kidney disease stratified by sex. Methods This retrospective cohort study included 26,788 workers (19,702 men and 7086 women) with normal renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2) at annual health examinations between January 2010 and March 2015 in Japan. The main exposure was alcohol consumption. The primary outcomes were the incidence of proteinuria (dipstick urinary protein ≥1) and incidence of chronic kidney disease (an estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 and a 25% decrease from the baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate). Results During a median observational period of 4 years (interquartile range: 2–6), 1993 (10.1%) men and 462 (6.5%) women developed proteinuria, whereas 667 (3.4%) men and 255 (3.6%) women developed chronic kidney disease. After adjustment for clinically relevant factors using a Cox proportional hazards model, alcohol consumption of ≥40 g/day in females was significantly associated with the incidence of proteinuria (hazard ratio, 1.65; 95% confidence interval, 1.09–2.51) and chronic kidney disease (hazard ratio, 1.77; 95% confidence interval, 1.09–2.85). However, no significant association between alcohol consumption and primary outcomes was observed in men. Conclusions In conclusion, daily higher alcohol consumption was significantly associated with a higher incidence of proteinuria and chronic kidney disease among women. Women might be prone to high alcohol consumption with kidney dysfunction.

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.
