Background
Accumulating data shows that chronic inflammation has crucial pathogenic contributions in CKD patients with diabetes, but the contribution of neutrophils count in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) remains elusive.
Methods
We performed a cross-sectional study of 44,494 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) from 2005 to 2020. The prevalence of CKD and diabetes were calculated. The association of peripheral neutrophils count levels with kidney functions in DKD and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality were further explored using logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models.
Results
Among the 2,643 patients with DKD from NHANES, the weighted mean of peripheral neutrophil count level was 4.97. When compared with patients with DKD in the lowest neutrophil count quintile, The highest quintile had the positively association with uACR and negatively relationship with estimated eGFR. During 2,215 person-years of eligible follow-up, 766 deaths (n = 237 deaths from CVD) occurred. In comparison to those in the those in the lowest neutrophil count quintile group, the highest quintile group had the HRs of 1.77 for all-cause mortality and 2.24 for CVD mortality in the fully adjusted model. A linear count-response relationship of peripheral neutrophil count with CVD mortality were also demonstrated (P=0.002).
Conclusion
Higher peripheral neutrophil count was significantly associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality and poor kidney function among patients with DKD.
