Background: While basic researches have shown the involvement of the autotaxin-lysophosphatidic acid (ATX-LPA) axis in the pathogenesis of kidney diseases, no clinical studies have revealed the association between urinary ATX concentrations and kidney disease yet. We investigate the clinical characteristics in relation to the urinary ATX concentrations and the potential association between urinary ATX concentrations and various kidney diseases. Methods: We measured the urinary ATX concentrations in residual urine samples after routine clinical testing from a total of 326 subjects with various kidney diseases and healthy subjects. We compared the urinary ATX concentrations in relation to clinical parameters and urinary biomarkers, and investigated their association with various kidney diseases. Results: The urinary ATX concentrations were associated with the gender, eGFR, presence/absence of hematuria, serum ATX, urinary concentrations of total protein (TP), microalbumin, N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), alpha 1-microglobulin (alpha 1-MG), and transforming growth factor-beta. Multiple regression analyses identified urinary alpha 1-MG, age, urinary TP, NAG, and hematuria as being significantly associated with the urinary ATX concentrations. Urinary ATX concentrations were higher in subjects with membranous nephropathy and systemic lupus erythematosus than in the control subjects. Conclusions: Urinary ATX might be associated with pathological conditions of the kidney associated with kidney injury.
