Serum Uric Acid is Associated with Increased Risk of Posttransplantation Diabetes in Kidney Transplant Recipients: a Prospective Cohort Study
Metabolism, clinical and experimental(2021)
摘要
Background: Serum uric acid (SUA) is associated with fasting glucose in healthy subjects, and prospective epidemological studies have shown that elevated SUA is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Whether SUA is independently associated with higher risk of posttransplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) remains unknown. Methods: We performed a longitudinal cohort study of 524 adult KTR with a functioning graft >= 1-year, recruited at a university setting (2008-2011). Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional-hazards regression analyses were performed to assess the association between time-updated SUA and risk of PTDM (defined according the American Diabetes Association's diagnostic criteria). Results: Mean (SD) SUA was 0.43 (0.11) mmol/L at baseline. During 5.3 (IQR, 4.1-6.0) years of follow-up, 52 (10%) KTR developed PTDM. In univariate prospective analyses, SUA was associated with increased risk of PTDM (HR 1.75, 95% CI 1.36-2.26 per 1-SD increment; P < 0.001). This finding remained materially unchanged after adjustment for components of the metabolic syndrome, lifestyle, estimated glomerular filtration rate, immunosuppressive therapy, cytomegalovirus and hepatitis C virus infection (HR 1.89, 95% CI 1.32-2.70; P = 0.001). These findings were consistent in categorical analyses, and robust in sensitivity analyses without outliers. Conclusions: In KTR, higher SUA levels are strongly and independently associated with increased risk of PTDM. Our findings are in agreement with accumulating evidence supporting SUA as novel independent risk marker for type 2 diabetes, and extend the evidence, for the first time, to the clinical setting of outpatient KTR.
