Background
Although black race and APOL1 high-risk genotypes are risk factors for various forms of kidney disease, few studies have rigorously examined whether an independent association of black race and APOL1 genotypes exists for occurrence of hospitalized AKI. Prior studies have not accounted for baseline eGFR and proteinuria levels near the time of AKI and have relied only on diagnostic codes to define AKI.
Methods
We studied black and white participants enrolled in the CRIC Study, a multicenter prospective cohort study of CKD, who had an annual in-person study visit between July 2012-June 2013. The primary outcome was hospitalized AKI in the subsequent 2 years (defined as a ≥50% increase from nadir to peak inpatient serum creatinine). We evaluated the association of race, APOL1 genotype and AKI using multivariable logistic regression.
Results
Among 1,162 eligible CRIC participants, 481 were black with 86 (18%) having a high-risk APOL1 genotype. The overall mean (SD) eGFR was 47 (16) mL/min/1.73m2 and neither eGFR or proteinuria significantly differed by APOL1 risk status (Table).The crude risk of AKI was similar between black and white patients (5.2% vs. 5.3%). After adjusting for eGFR and urine protein-to-creatinine ratio, age, sex, educational attainment, blood pressure, prevalent cardiovascular disease, diabetes and receipt of ACE-I/ARB, there was no significant association of race or APOL1 status with AKI (Table).
Conclusion
Among black and white participants with similar baseline eGFR, neither black race nor APOL1 genotype is significantly associated with subsequent hospitalized AKI.
