Cystatin C and uric acid levels in detecting left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with chronic kidney disease

Abstract

THE AIM of the study is to evaluate interrelation between levels of cystatin C and uric acid with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study included 86 patients with non-diabetic 2-5 stage CKD (53% male, 47% female, mean age 45±13 years). According to glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decrease they were divided into 3 groups: the 1 one with GFR (n = 33) 89 - 45 ml/min, the 2 (n = 33) - 44 - 15 ml/min and hemodialysis patients (n = 20) were included in the third group. Control group (n=20) included persons with GFR> 90 ml/min. All patients were performedclinical examination and transthoracic echrocardiography, cystatin C and uric acid levels in serum were measured. RESULTS. LVH was detected in 52% (48 form 86) patients with CkD (in 1 group - 42,4%, 2 group - 63,6%, 3 group - 80%). It was correlated with age (p = 0,23 р = 0,016), male gender (p = 0,29 р = 0,003), body mass index (p= 0,38 р < 0,0001), total cholesterol (p = 0,3 р = 0,001) and arterial hypertension (p = 0,56 р < 0,0001). Cystatin C levels in the 1, 2, 3 groups were 1489,49 ± 520,76 ng/ml; 2533,13 ± 621,66 ng/ml; 5166,02 ± 1586,61 ng/ml respectively, in control group - 820,0±224,5 ng/ml. Cystatin C has inverse correlation with GFR (Rs=-0.9; < 0,0001), was positively correlated with arterial hypertension (p = 0,5, р <0,001), left ventricular mass index (p = 0,51, р< 0,0001), concentric and eccentric LVH models (p=0,5, р<0,0001; p = 0,2, р = 0,04 respectively). Multiple regression analysis showed that factors associated with LVH were systolic blood pressure (ß=0,29, p=0,03) and cystatin C (ß=0,46, p= 0,02). Serum cystatin C level С >1150,6 ng/ml had sensitivity 78% and specificity 62% LVH in ROC-curve analysis. Hyperuricemia was found in 76,6% patients with CKD. It was directly correlated with arterial hypertension (p = 0,4 р < 0,0001), left ventricular mass index (p = 0,4; р< 0,0001) and cystatin C (r = 0,5 p < 0,0001) and negatively with GFR (p = -0,57, р < 0,0001). Uric acid level > 424,7 mkmol/l was detected LVH with sensitivity 84% and specificity 61%. CONCLUSION. In stage 3-5 CKD higher levels of cystatin C and uric acid may be associated with left ventricular hypertrophy.
