Associations of Adipocytokines and Early Renal Dysfunction in Young People on the Background of Dyslipidemia

Background: There are data supporting the idea that atherogenic dyslipidemia is a risk factor for CKD and reduced GFR. The aim was to evaluate the associations between adipocytokines and early renal dysfunction in young people with dyslipidemia. Materials and methods: A population study was conducted in IIPM-Branch of IC & G SB RAS, in 2013-2017. Furthermore, 1033 people were included in the study (469 men (45.4%) and 564 women (54.6%)). The study included blood sampling, anthropometric data, and adipokines by multiplex analysis. Results: Among people with reduced kidney function and DLP, men were 3.1 times more common than without DLP, women smoked 2 times less often, arterial hypertension was 7.8 times more common, and abdominal obesity was 2.7 times more common (and women with DLP were 3 times more likely than those without DLP). An increase in the level of resistin by 1 mcg/mL was associated with an increased chance of having renal dysfunction by 0.2%. An increase in the level of GIP was associated with an increased chance of having renal dysfunction by 1.1%. Conclusions: In young people with dyslipidemia, regardless of the presence of abdominal obesity, resistin and GIP are associated with the presence of renal dysfunction.

Automated summary

This study found that in young people with dyslipidemia, abdominal obesity and increased resistin and GIP levels are associated with the presence of renal dysfunction.
