项目摘要

ABSTRACT Two clinical measures are currently used to stage chronic kidney disease (CKD), the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR). The elevated morbidity and mortality risk that is experienced by persons with CKD is overwhelmingly a result of progressive atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and heart failure (HF) rather than kidney failure. Unfortunately, eGFR and ACR inadequately depict the kidney’s complexity because they represent glomerular function and injury respectively; yet the kidney is predominantly comprised of tubules, and the kidney tubules are responsible for myriad homeostatic functions that likely have more direct influence on the cardiovascular system than does damage to the glomerulus. Moreover, pathology studies have convincingly demonstrated that tubule damage is more prognostic for loss of kidney function than glomerular scarring. Novel urine measures that quantify the health of the kidney tubules have recently allowed us to define four additional dimensions of kidney health that independently influence risk for progressive CKD: proximal tubule injury, proximal tubule function, tubule fibrosis and repair, and tubule synthetic function. Our team has selected eight distinct urine measures that capture each of these four dimensions and comprise the Kidney Tubule Health Panel (KTHP). In specific, high-risk populations, the KTHP dimensions are strongly associated with risk for ASCVD, HF and mortality; but no studies have evaluated the contributions of kidney tubule health to the development of ASCVD and HF in the general population. Our global hypothesis is that kidney tubule damage and dysfunction are related to the onset and progression of ASCVD and HF. Within two well-established, general population cohorts, CARDIA and MESA, this proposal will address the following research questions that are critical to understanding the development of each dimension of kidney tubule disease and their role in promoting ASCVD and HF: 1) Does kidney tubule disease develop earlier and progress faster with advancing age than ACR and eGFR? 2) Is kidney tubule disease more severe in Black and Hispanic persons compared with White persons? 3) Which atherosclerotic risk factors have the strongest associations with each dimension of kidney tubule disease? 4) How strongly associated is kidney tubule disease with several subclinical CVD measures? 5) How strongly associated are kidney tubule disease markers with ASCVD and HF, and do they improve prediction of these endpoints? If these Aims are successful, these easily measured, non-invasive indices of kidney tubule health may have value for population screening, to provide insights into race/ethnic differences in kidney and cardiovascular disease, and to identifying pathways for novel therapeutics that target kidney tubules, such as the SGLT2 inhibitors and the non-steroidal aldosterone antagonists, that reduce risk for both kidney and cardiovascular adverse outcomes.

抽象的目前有两种临床测量方法用于对慢性肾脏病 (CKD) 进行分期，即估计的肾小球滤过率（eGFR）和尿白蛋白肌酐比（ACR）导致发病和死亡风险升高。 CKD 患者所经历的疾病绝大多数是进行性动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病的结果不幸的是，eGFR 和 ACR 不充分。描述肾脏的复杂性，因为它们分别代表肾小球功能和损伤；肾脏主要由肾小管组成，肾小管负责多种体内平衡与损害心血管系统相比，这些功能可能对心血管系统产生更直接的影响此外，病理学研究令人信服地证明，肾小管损伤更严重。肾功能丧失的预后优于肾小球疤痕。量化肾小管健康状况的新颖尿液测量方法最近使我们能够定义四种独立影响进行性 CKD 风险的肾脏健康的其他方面：近端小管我们的团队选择了损伤、近端肾小管功能、肾小管纤维化和修复以及肾小管合成功能。八种不同的尿液测量，捕获这四个维度中的每一个，并构成肾小管健康小组 (KTHP) 在特定的高风险人群中，KTHP 维度与风险密切相关。 ASCVD、HF 和死亡率；但没有研究评估肾小管健康对 ASCVD、HF 和死亡率的影响；一般人群中 ASCVD 和 HF 的发生我们的总体假设是肾小管损伤。和功能障碍与 ASCVD 和 HF 的发生和进展有关。在两个成熟的普通人群群体（CARDIA 和 MESA）中，该提案将解决遵循对于理解肾脏各个维度的发育至关重要的研究问题肾小管疾病及其在促进 ASCVD 和 HF 中的作用：1) 肾小管疾病是否发展得更早且更早？随着年龄的增长，进展速度比 ACR 和 eGFR 更快？ 2) 黑人的肾小管疾病是否更严重？西班牙裔与白人相比 3) 哪些动脉粥样硬化危险因素最强？与肾小管疾病各个方面的关联？ 4) 肾小管的关联程度如何？疾病与多种亚临床 CVD 指标的相关性如何？ 5) 肾小管疾病的相关性如何？ ASCVD 和 HF 的标记物，如果这些目标是的话，它们是否可以改善这些终点的预测？成功后，这些易于测量、非侵入性的肾小管健康指标可能对人群有价值筛查，以深入了解肾脏和心血管疾病的种族/民族差异，并确定针对肾小管的新疗法的途径，例如 SGLT2 抑制剂和非甾体醛固酮拮抗剂，可降低肾脏和心血管不良后果的风险。
