Background
Both FGF-23 and coronary artery calcification (CAC) are known as predictors of high cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. However, previous studies on the association between FGF-23 and CAC were inconclusive. Recently, it has been shown that adiponectin modulates renal handling of phosphate and calcium, important factors in vascular calcification. We hypothesized that adiponectin play a role in the effect of FGF-23 on CAC, and explored whether this association between FGF-23 and CAC is modified by serum adiponectin level in CKD patients.
Methods
This cross-sectional study analyzed 1,153 predialysis CKD patients from the KNOW-CKD cohort who measured coronary artery calcium scores (CACS), serum FGF-23 and serum adiponectin. Participants were divided into three groups according to their FGF-23 levels as follows: low <5.0 RU/ml, middle =5.0-29.9 RU/ml, and high ≥30.0 RU/ml. We evaluated the association between FGF-23 and CACS by multivariate Tobit regression and multivariate logistic regression in each group with lower half and upper half of adiponectin.
Results
Median [interquartile range] CACS were not different between low and high adiponectin group (2.0 [0.0-91.8] vs 0.4 [0.0-103.5], P=0.536). The CACS ratio comparing the high FGF-23 to the low FGF-23 was significantly increased in high adiponectin group, but not in low adiponectin group [3.25 (1.53-6.91) vs 1.07 (0.50-2.29), P for interaction=0.029). Similarly, the ORs for CAC in the high FGF-23 group compared to the low group were significantly increased only in the high adiponectin group (Table).
Conclusion
High serum FGF-23 was associated with CAC only in CKD patients with high adiponectin, but not in those with low adiponectin. Further studies are warranted to verify the role of adiponectin in FGF-23-related coronary calcification.
