Background
Proteinuria and hyperphosphatemia are risk factors for cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). While experiencing the interaction between proteinuria and serum phosphate level, there is an insufficient mechanistic link between the two, particularly the extent to which is mediated by phosphate regulating factors. Therefore, we examined their association and potential mediators including circulating FGF23/Klotho and 24hr urinary excretion rate of phosphate to glomerular filtration rate (24hr EP/GFR) and 24hr tubular reabsorption rate of phosphate to GFR (24hr TRP/GFR).
Methods
We analyzed 1793 patients for whom 24hr urine protein and phosphate, serum phosphate, FGF23 and Klotho level were measured simultaneously using data from the KoreaN Cohort Study for Outcome in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease (KNOW-CKD). Multivariable linear regression and mediation analyses were performed. Total, direct, and indirect effects were also estimated.
Results
The group of patients with high serum phosphate levels was likely to have higher proteinuria and FGF23 and lower Klotho levels. 24hr EP/GFR increased with increasing proteinuria and CKD progression, but 24hr TRP/GFR showed a tendency to decrease. Simple mediation analyses showed that 15.4% or 67.9% of the relation was mediated by FGF23/Klotho ratio or 24hr EP/GFR, respectively. In addition, 73.1% of the relation was mediated by two serial mediators.
Conclusion
These findings represents that proteinuria increases 24hr EP/GFR through FGF23/Klotho axis as a mechanism to regulate increased phosphate burden per unit nephron much earlier than reduction in renal function.
