Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate, All-Cause Mortality and Cardiovascular Diseases Incidence in a Low Risk Population: The MATISS Study

Abstract: BackgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) independently increases the risk of death and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the general population. However, the relationship between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and CVD/death risk in a general population at low risk of CVD has not been explored so far.DesignBaseline and longitudinal data of 1465 men and 1459 women aged 35-74 years participating to the MATISS study, an Italian general population cohort, were used to evaluate the role of eGFR in the predi… Show more

“…These observations are consistent with previous studies reporting a J-shaped association between serum creatininebased eGFR and mortality. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] The J-shaped association between eGFR and mortality has been explained by the overestimation of the true GFR in individuals in the high-risk group because of muscle wasting. Previous studies defined high GFR as above a certain absolute value, irrespective of age, sex, and muscle mass, and could not exclude the possibility of the confounding effects of muscle wasting in the high-risk group or the misclassification of normal GFR in young subjects as higher GFR or higher GFR in older subjects as normal GFR.…”

“…However, the increased mortality associated with a higher GFR was commonly regarded as an overestimation of GFR because of muscle wasting in a high-risk group. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] The disappearance of the J-shaped association between GFR and mortality within a younger age group in the higher GFR range is considered as supporting evidence for the overestimation of the true GFR …”

“…In 1999 diabetes was recognized as a coronary heart disease equivalent [2] and more recently it has been well recognized that the presence of diabetes increases the risk of heart failure by two to four fold [3]. Moreover, among diabetic and cardiovascular patients, renal dysfunction is common, and associated with a worse prognosis [4,5]. In this setting, albuminuria is not only a marker of renal disease but is also an important risk factor for CVD progression [6] and more recently it has been recognized as a risk factor for the development of heart failure [7].…”
