Prognostic impact of renal sinus fat accumulation in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Clinical and Experimental Nephrology 2023 April 25
BACKGROUND: Obesity is associated with the development and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In the general population, the amount of renal sinus fat was associated with hypertension and renal impairment. However, its impact upon those with CKD remains uncertain.
METHODS: We prospectively included CKD patients who underwent renal biopsy and simultaneously measured their renal sinus fat volume. The association between the percentage of renal sinus fat volume, which was adjusted by kidney volume, and renal outcomes was investigated.
RESULTS: A total of 56 patients (median 55 years old, 35 men) were included. Among baseline characteristics, age and visceral fat volume were positively correlated with the percentage of renal sinus fat volume (p < 0.05). The percentage of renal sinus fat volume was associated with hypertension (p < 0.01) and tended to be associated with max glomerular diameter (p = 0.078) and urine angiotensinogen creatinine ratio (p = 0.064) after adjustment with several clinical factors. The percentage of renal sinus fat volume was significantly associated with a future > 50% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Among those with CKD who required renal biopsy, the amount of renal sinus fat was associated with poor renal outcomes accompanied by systemic hypertension.
