Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease increases risk of incident advanced chronic kidney disease: a propensity-matched cohort study.
Journal of Internal Medicine 2019 December
BACKGROUND: As the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) escalates, understanding its potential impact on the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is needed.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the longitudinal association of NAFLD with the development of advanced CKD in the United States.
METHODS: A retrospective cohort analysis of the Truven Health MarketScan Database (2006-2015) was conducted. We used Cox proportional hazards models to compare the risk of developing CKD stages 3-5 in patients with NAFLD versus non-NAFLD, identified by ICD-9 codes, after 1:3 propensity score (PS) matching.
RESULTS: In a cohort of 262 619 newly diagnosed patients with NAFLD and 769 878 PS (1:3)-matched non-NAFLD patients, we identified 5766 and 8655 new advanced (stage 3-5) CKD cases, respectively. The crude CKD incidence rate was 8.2 and 5.5 per 1000 person-years in NAFLD and non-NAFLD groups, respectively. In multivariable Cox model, patients with NAFLD had a 41% increased risk of developing advanced CKD compared with non-NAFLD patients [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR), 1.41; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.36-1.46]. In the sensitivity analysis adjusting for time-varying covariates after NAFLD diagnosis, NAFLD persisted as a significant CKD risk factor (aHR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.52-1.66) and the association remained significant when stratified by age, gender and pre-existing comorbidities. The risk of CKD increased in NAFLD with compensated cirrhosis (aHR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.36-1.59) and decompensated cirrhosis (aHR, 2.28; 95% CI, 2.12-2.46).
CONCLUSION: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease was independently associated with an increased risk of advanced CKD development suggesting renal function screening and regular monitoring are needed in this population.
