Renal Hyperfiltration as a Novel Marker of All-Cause Mortality

Abstract: Although renal hyperfiltration (RHF) or an abnormal increase in GFR has been associated with many lifestyles and clinical conditions, including diabetes, its clinical consequence is not clear. RHF is frequently considered to be the result of overestimating true GFR in subjects with muscle wasting. To evaluate the association between RHF and mortality, 43,503 adult Koreans who underwent voluntary health screening at Seoul National University Hospital between March of 1995 and May of 2006 with baseline GFR$60 ml… Show more

“…This has generally been explained by muscle wasting related to chronic diseases, although a high eGFRcre, possibly a marker of hyperfiltration, was recently associated with mortality, even after adjusting for muscle mass (27). Our findings suggest that other factors associated with chronic diseases, such as increased levels of inflammatory markers and fibrinogen, may bias risk prediction in the same direction as low muscle mass and similarly confound longitudinal studies using eGFR.…”

“…The shaded areas represent 95 % confidence intervals Therefore, our conclusions should only be applied to similar samples. In addition, we were not able to systematically analyze time-dependent variables, such as hypertension, glomerular hyperfiltration, and proteinuria, that might contribute to renal outcome [8,49,50]. Finally, in our study we were only able to estimate survival times.…”

“…An alternative explanation is that the highest eGFR category in FDS1 contained a disproportionately large percentage of patients with hyperfiltration and others may have progressed through this phase before recruitment. In both these cases, there is an increased associated risk of progression to diabetic nephropathy (39) and, if independent associations in the general population apply to diabetes, an increased risk of subclinical and overt cardiovascular disease (40,41) and allcause death (5). Support for the latter explanation comes from GBM-defined eGFR trajectories in a large sub-group of FDS1 patients.…”

“…Introduction those with glomerular hyperfiltration (an eGFR ≄125 to ≄140 mL/min/1.73 m 2 by isotopic measurement in various studies) (3) which has a debated but likely association with more rapid progression of diabetic nephropathy (4) and which may also be an independent predictor of mortality in the general population (5). The evidence that eGFR has a U-shaped association with mortality, including diabetes, questions the validity of studies which have assessed the prognostic significance of renal disease in statistical models assuming simple linearity or using categorisation that belies the complexity of the relationship.…”
