Serum Bicarbonate Concentrations and Kidney Disease Progression in Community-Living Elders: The Health, Aging, and Body Composition (Health ABC) Study #MMPMID24953890
Am J Kidney Dis 2014[Oct]; 64 (4): 542-9 PMID24953890show ga
Background: In populations with prevalent chronic kidney disease (CKD), lower serum bicarbonate is associated with more rapid CKD progression, but whether lower bicarbonate is also associated with risk of incident estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73m2 and progression among community-living persons with predominantly preserved kidney function is unknown. Study Design: Longitudinal observational cohort study. Setting & Participants: Well functioning community living elders aged 70?79 years at inception. Predictor: Serum bicarbonate measured at the time of collection by arterialized venous blood sample using an arterial blood gas analyzer. Outcomes: Change in eGFR, and new eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2 and loss of ?1 ml/min/1.73m2 per year at follow-up. Measurements: Linear and logistic regressions were used to evaluate associations of baseline serum bicarbonate with change in eGFR and incident eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73m2. Results: At baseline, mean eGFR was 84±16 (SD) mL/min/1.73m2, and serum bicarbonate was 25.2±1.9 mmol/L. Compared to participants with higher bicarbonate concentrations (23.0?28.0 mmol/L), those with bicarbonate concentrations < 23 mmol/L (n=85 [8%]) lost eGFR 0.55 (95%CI, 0.13?0.97) mL/min/1.73m2 per year faster in models adjusted for demographics, CKD risk factors, baseline eGFR, and urine albumin-creatinine ratio. Among the 989 (92%) participants with baseline eGFR>60 mL/min/1.73m2, 252 (25%) developed incident eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73m2 at follow-up. Adjusting for the same covariates, participants with bicarbonate concentrations < 23 mmol/L had nearly 2-fold greater odds of incident eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73m2 (OR, 1.72; 95% CI, 0.97?3.07) compared to those with higher bicarbonate concentrations. Limitations: Only two measurements of kidney function separated by seven years and loss to follow up due to intervening mortality in this elderly population. Conclusions: Lower serum bicarbonate concentrations are independently associated with decline in eGFR and incident eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73m2 in community-living older persons. If confirmed, serum bicarbonate levels may give insights into kidney tubule health among persons with preserved eGFR and suggest a possible new target for intervention to prevent CKD development.
