Abstract:

Objective To investigate the combined application of different estimating glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) equations and urinary albumin to creatinine ratio(ACR) in high-risk renal injury or early renal dysfunction patients. Methods Clinical data of 850 patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD) were collected,including sex,age,height,weight,serum creatinine(SCr),cystatin C(Cys C),ACR,serum urea,serum uric acid(UA),glomerular filtration rate measured by 99mtechnetium-diethyenetriamine pentaacetic acid(99mTC-DTPA) renal dynamic imaging measuring glomerular filtration rate(mGFR) and basic medical history. Totally,3 SCr-based equations(CKD-EPI 2009Scr,simplified MDRD and improved MDRD),6 equations based on Cys C(CKD-EPI 2012Cys C,Grubb,Arnal-Dade,Rule,Macisaac and Tan) and 1 equation based on Cys C combined with SCr(CKD-EPI 2012SCr-Cys C)were applied respectively to calculate eGFR of all the subjects. The correlations between different eGFRs and between different eGFRs and mGFR were analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis. Bland-Altman analysis was used to evaluate the consistency between eGFR and mGFR. Results In male and female groups,the level of eGFR based on SCr(eGFR-SCr) was higher than that of mGFR(P<0.01),and the level of eGFR based on Cys C(eGFR-Cys C) was lower than that of mGFR(P<0.01). There were positive correlations among eGFR-SCr,among eGFR-Cys C,between eGFR and mGFR(P<0.01). The average deviation between eGFR-SCr and mGFR was –4.2-20.8 mL/(min•1.73 m2),which overestimated patient's GFR. Between eGFR-Cys C and mGFR,the average deviation was 3.7-16.9 mL/(min•1.73 m2),which underestimated the GFR. Between eGFRCKD-EPI 2012SCr-Cys C and mGFR,the average deviation was 9.6 mL/(min•1.73 m2),which was also lower than the actual GFR. For patients with G2 stage which were missed by eGFRCKD-EPI 2009SCr,79.2% and 55.8% was detected by eGFRMacisaac and ACR,respectively,and the combination of eGFRMacisaac and ACR was 87.7%. Furthermore,for patients with G3 to G5 stage missed by eGFRCKD-EPI 2009SCr,43.3% and 61.1% were detected with eGFRMacisaac and ACR,respectively,and 73.3% were detected by the combination of eGFRMacisaac and ACR. Compared with eGFRCKD-EPI 2009SCr alone,the detection rate of G2 stage was increased to 94.4%,and the detection of G3-G5 stage was increased to 91.7% after combining eGFRMacisaac and ACR. Conclusion The combined application of eGFRCKD-EPI 2009SCr,eGFRMacisaac and ACR can significantly improve the detection rate of high-risk renal impairment and early renal dysfunction.
