Objective: To evaluate the effect of 24 hour systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) variability (BPV) on renal progression in hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) Methods: A total 59 hypertensive patients (mean age: 54.2±14.6 years, 50.8% male) with CKD who underwent 24 hours ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM) were included. Data on SBP, DBP, BPV coefficients (VC) for SBP (SBP-CV) and DBP (DBP-CV) were recorded. A decrease in e-GFR of <5 ml/min/year was considered as normal renal progression and a decrease in ≥5 ml/min/year was considered as rapid renal progression. Results: Overall, 40.6% of the patients had uncontrolled HT, while 45.8% had non-dipper pattern. Mean±SD daytime and night-time SBP and SBP-VC values were 135.3±17.9 mmHg, 128.6±23.0 mmHg, 11.7±2.8 and 9.5±3.6, respectively. Mean±SD daytime and nigh-time DBP and DBP-VC values were 84.5±13.4 mmHg, 77.2±16.1 mmHg, 13.8±3.8 and 12.0±3.7, respectively. Rapid renal progression was detected in 25.4% of patients with no significant difference in daytime, night-time and total SBP, SBP-VC, DBP and DBP-VC values between patients with rapid vs. natural renal progression. The regression analysis adjusted for age, gender, presence of DM, baseline e-GFR and dipping status revealed no significant impact of SBP-VC and DBP-VC in predicting rapid progression (p> 0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, our finding revealed no significant association between BPV and renal progression in hypertensive patients with CKD. Larger scale prospective, randomized controlled trials with longer follow-up are needed to clarify this issue.

Biomarker discovery in the field of risk prediction in chronic kidney disease (CKD) embraces the prospect of improving our ability to risk stratify future adverse outcomes and thereby guide patient care in a new era of personalised medicine. However, many studies that report biomarkers predictive of CKD progression share a key methodological limitation: failure to characterise patients’ renal progression precisely. This weakens any observable association between a biomarker and an outcome poorly defined by a patient’s change in renal function over time. In this commentary, we discuss the need for a better approach in this research arena and describe a compelling strategy that has the advantage of offering robust and meaningful biomarker exploration relevant to CKD progression.

Abstract Background Recent experimental study reported that proteinuria increases serum phosphate by decreasing biologic activity of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23). We examined this relationship in a large chronic kidney disease (CKD) cohort and evaluated the combined effect of proteinuria, FGF-23 activity and serum phosphate on CKD progression. Methods The activity of FGF-23, measured by the fractional excretion of phosphate (FEP)/FGF-23 ratio, was compared according to the degree of proteinuria in 1909 patients with CKD. Primary outcome was CKD progression defined as ≥50% decline of estimated glomerular filtration rate, doubling of serum creatinine and start of dialysis. Results There was a negative relationship between 24-h urine protein (24-h UP) and FEP/FGF-23 ratio (γ −0.07; P = 0.005). In addition, after matching variables associated with serum phosphate, patients with more proteinuria had higher serum phosphate (P &lt; 0.001) and FGF-23 (P = 0.012), and lower FEP/FGF-23 ratio (P = 0.007) compared with those with less proteinuria. In the matched cohort, low FEP/FGF-23 ratio was an independent risk factor for CKD progression (hazard ratio 0.87 per 1 log increase; 95% confidence interval 0.79–0.95; P = 0.002), and there was significant interaction between 24-h UP and FEP/FGF-23 ratio (P = 0.039). Furthermore, 24-h UP and serum phosphate also had a significant interaction on CKD progression (P &lt; 0.001). Conclusions Proteinuria is associated with decreased biologic activity of FGF-23 and increased serum phosphate. Furthermore, diminished activity of FGF23 is an independent risk factor for renal progression in proteinuric CKD patients.
