Background
Phosphate (Pi) overload may lead to adverse outcomes in CKD, but challenges persist in evaluating Pi overload because serum Pi levels remain in the normal range via tight regulation until later CKD stages, while FGF23 and PTH levels may be affected by factors including eGFR besides Pi. We developed a Pi overload index and studied its relationship with CVD and death in CKD.
Methods
The CRIC Study enrolled 3939 adults with CKD and without cirrhosis in the US. 3578 participants without missing data were included in this analysis. Atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD) was defined as ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, or peripheral artery disease. Incident ASCVD, heart failure (HF), and death events were adjudicated by the outcome assessment committee. Pi overload index was calculated as [serum Pi x (urinary Pi/Cr ratio) x alkaline phosphatase (ALP- a marker reflecting bone turnover)] to synergistically reflect the effect of high Pi intake on serum Pi, kidneys, and bones. Cox proportional hazards models were used to examine the multivariable association of baseline Pi overload index with the outcomes.
Results
During up to 13-year median follow-up, 769 ASCVD, 862 HF, and 1502 death events occurred. ALP was significantly correlated with serum Pi and PTH and began trending up at CKD stage 2. Pi overload index was significantly and positively correlated with 24-hour urinary Pi, FGF23, PTH, and dietary Pi and also began trending up at CKD stage 2. Higher Pi overload index was associated with higher rates of CVD outcomes and death in mulItivariable models(Table).
Conclusion
Pi overload index was independently associated with CVD outcomes and death and began trending up at CKD stage 2. Its value in diagnosing Pi overload needs to be confirmed in future studies.
