Background
We aimed to investigate the association between plasma selenium (Se) and renal function decline in adults with hypertension and to explore the possible modifiers.
Methods
This was a prospective study, including a total of 935 hypertensive adults from a folic-acid intervention trial (CSPPT) with baseline plasma Se measurements and renal outcome data available. The primary outcome was rapid decline in renal function, defined as an average decline in eGFR ≥5 mL/min/1.73m2 per year.
Results
Over a median follow-up of 4.4 years, the primary outcome occurred in 72 participants. After multivariate-adjusted, there was an inverse association between plasma Se and rapid decline in renal function (per 10-unit increment; OR, 0.85; 95% CI: 0.72, 0.99). Consistently, compared to the lowest tertile of baseline plasma Se (<74.5 μg/L), the highest tertile (89.4~<150 μg/L) was significantly associated with a 60%(0.40; 0.21, 0.79) reduction in the odds of the outcome. A stronger inverse plasma Se-renal function decline association was observed in those received folic acid treatment (per 10-unit increment: OR, 0.70; 95% CI: 0.54, 0.90; P-interaction=0.036) or with a higher baseline folate concentration (≥9.0 ng/mL: 0.59; 0.43, 0.82; P-interaction=0.004).
Conclusion
In China hypertensives with plasma Se <150 μg/L, there was an inverse relationship of plasma Se with the renal function decline, especially in those with folic-acid supplementation or a higher folate level.
