This study found that high plasma vitamin B-12 levels may increase the risk of chronic kidney disease, especially in the presence of high levels of blood lead and cadmium, as well as total urinary arsenic levels.
Heavy metals causing chronic nephrotoxicity may play a key role in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study hypothesized that plasma folate and vitamin B-12 would modify the association of CKD with total urinary arsenic and blood lead and cadmium levels. We recruited 220 patients with CKD who had an estimated glomerular filtration rate of < 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) for & GE;3 consecutive months and 438 sex- and age-matched controls. We performed inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to measure blood cadmium and lead levels. The urinary arsenic level was determined using a high-performance liquid chromatography-hydride generator-atomic absorption spectrometry. Plasma vitamin B-12 and folate levels were measured through the SimulTRAC-SNB radioassay. Compared with patients with plasma vitamin B-12 & LE; 6.27 pg/mL, the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval of CKD for patients with plasma vitamin B-12 > 9.54 pg/mL was 2.02 (1.15-3.55). However, no association was observed between plasma folate concentration and CKD. A high level of plasma vitamin B-12 combined with high levels of blood lead and cadmium level and total urinary arsenic tended to increase the OR of CKD in a dose-response manner, but the interactions were nonsignificant. This is the first study to demonstrate that patients with high plasma vitamin B-12 level exhibit increased OR of CKD related to high levels of blood cadmium and lead and total urinary arsenic.
