Abstract Purpose An increase in arterial stiffness is associated with rapid renal function decline (RFD) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of this study was to investigate whether the radial augmentation index (rAI), a surrogate marker of arterial stiffness, affects RFD in individuals without CKD. Methods A total of 3165 Chinese participants from an atherosclerosis cohort with estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) of ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 were included in this study. The baseline rAI normalized to a heart rate of 75 beats/min (rAIp75) was obtained using an arterial applanation tonometry probe. The eGFRs at both baseline and follow-up were calculated using the equation derived from the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration. The association of the rAIp75 with RFD (defined as a drop in the eGFR category accompanied by a ≥ 25% drop in eGFR from baseline or a sustained decline in eGFR of > 5 mL/min/1.73 m2/year) was evaluated using the multivariate regression model. Results During the 2.35-year follow-up, the incidence of RFD was 7.30%. The rAIp75 had no statistically independent association with RFD after adjustment for possible confounders (adjusted odds ratio = 1.12, 95% confidence interval: 0.99–1.27, p = 0.074). When stratified according to sex, the rAIp75 was significantly associated with RFD in women, but not in men (adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval: 1.23[1.06–1.43], p = 0.007 for women, 0.94[0.76–1.16], p = 0.542 for men; p for interaction = 0.038). Conclusion The rAI might help screen for those at high risk of early rapid RFD in women without CKD.

Abstract Purpose Observational studies have associated obesity with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and arterial stiffness, but the causality remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the causality of obesity with CKD and arterial stiffness using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Methods We genotyped 14 body mass index (BMI)-associated variants validated in East Asians in 11384 Chinese adults. A genetic risk score based on the 14 variants and the 14 individual single nucleotide polymorphisms were respectively used as instrumental variables (IVs). CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m 2. Arterial stiffness was defined as brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity >1550 cm/s. Results Using the genetic risk score as the IV, we demonstrated causal relations of each 1-standard deviation increment in BMI with CKD (odds ratio [OR]: 2.36; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.11-5.00) and arterial stiffness (OR: 1.71; 95% CI: 1.22-2.39). Using the 14 single nucleotide polymorphisms individually as IVs, each 1-standard deviation increment in BMI casually associated with CKD (OR: 2.58; 95% CI: 1.39-4.79) and arterial stiffness (OR: 1.87; 95% CI: 1.24-2.81) in the inverse-variance weighted analysis, and MR-Egger regression revealed no evidence of horizontal pleiotropy (Both P for intercept≥0.34). The causality between obesity and CKD was validated in two-sample MR analysis among Europeans (681275 of Genetic Investigation of ANthropometric Traits and 133413 of CKD Genetics). Conclusions This study provided novel insights into causality of obesity with CKD and arterial stiffness, highlighting the importance of weight management for primary prevention and control of subclinical vascular diseases.

Serum Cystatin C

Abstract Background and Aims Serum cystatin C (cysC) is produced by all nucleated cells at a constant rate, is filtered freely by the glomerulus and metabolized after tubular reabsorption. It is influenced less by age, gender and muscle mass compared to serum creatinine. These properties make it an important marker in detecting renal impairment. Arterial stiffness is a hallmark of atherosclerosis and is connected to cardiovascular events and mortality. In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), cysC correlates with increased arterial stiffness, but less is known about the association between cysC and arterial stiffness in non-CKD patients. Method The study was performed at the University Medical Centre Maribor between October 1st 2018 and January 1st 2020. Basic demographic and laboratory data were recorded. To estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology (CKD-EPI) equation was used. Patients with previously diagnosed CKD and/or eGFR ≤ 60 ml/min/1.73m2 at the time of admission, known malignancy, thyroid disease and/or on steroid therapy were not enrolled in the study. Arterial stiffness was measured with applanation tonometry (Sphygmocor®, Australia), carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) was used as the gold standard of central arterial stiffness and subendocardial viability ratio (SEVR) was used as the marker of myocardial perfusion. SPSS® version 22 was used for statistical analysis. Results 111 patients (65.8% male, average age 64.3±9.4 years) were included in our study. Most common comorbidities were arterial hypertension (n=86, 77.5%), hyperlipidaemia (n=64, 57.7%) and diabetes mellitus (n=22, 19.8%). Mean creatinine value was 77.7±13.8 μmol/L (range 49-108 μmol/L), mean eGFR was 81.3±9.4 ml/min/1.73m2 (range 62-90 ml/min/1.73m2) and mean value of cysC was 0.94±0.18 mg/L (range 0.67-1.63 mg/L). Mean SEVR value was 165.7±36.1% (range 92-299%) and mean cfPWV value was 10.1±2.4 m/s (range 6.2-16.8 m/s). Significant correlation was found between cysC and SEVR (r=-0.316, p<0.001) and between cysC and cfPWV (r=0.472, p<0.001). Multiple regression analysis of arterial stiffness indices and cysC, age, gender, diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, eGFR and hyperlipidemia, showed statistically significant association between cysC and cfPWV (ß=0.220, p=0.038) and cysC and SEVR (ß=-0.278, p=0.017). Conclusion Serum cysC is independently associated with increased arterial stiffness, reduced myocardial perfusion and increased cardiovascular risk in non-CKD patients.
