Placental growth factor (PIGF) contributes to atherogenesis through vascular inflammation and plaque destabilization. High levels of PIGF may be associated with mortality and cardiovascular disease, but the relationship between PIGF level and adverse outcomes in patients with CKD is unclear. We conducted a prospective cohort study of 1351 consecutive participants with CKD enrolled in the Novel Assessment of Risk management for Atherosclerotic diseases in CKD (NARA-CKD) study between April 1, 2004, and December 31, 2011. During a median follow-up of 3 years, 199 participants died and 383 had cardiovascular events, defined as atherosclerotic disease or heart failure requiring hospitalization. In adjusted analyses, mortality and cardiovascular risk increased in each successive quartile of serum PIGF level; hazard ratios (HRs) (95% confidence intervals [95% asp for mortality and cardiovascular risk, respectively, were 1.59 (0.83 to 3.16) and 1.55 (0.92 to 2.66) for the second quartile, 2.97 (1.67 to 5.59) and 3.39 (2.20 to 5.41) for the third quartile, and 3.87 (2.24 to 7.08) and 8.42 (5.54 to 13.3) for the fourth quartile. The composite end point of mortality and cardiovascular events occurred during the study period in 76.4% of patients in both the highest PIGF quartile (19.6 pg/ml) and the lowest eGFR tertile (<30 ml/min per 1.73 m2). The association between sPIGF and mortality or cardiovascular events was not attenuated when participants were stratified by age, sex, traditional risk factors, and eGFR. These data suggest elevated PIGF is an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events in patients with CKD.
