Heterogeneity was assessed using Cochran's Q test.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>We identified 14 genetic variants with genome-wide significance. The MR analysis provided consistent evidence across the various methodologies, supporting a causal relationship between celiac disease and an elevated risk of CKD (odds ratio (OR)<sub>IVW</sub> = 1.027, <i>p</i> = 0.025; OR<sub>weighted median</sub> = 1.028, <i>P</i> = 0.049; OR<sub>weighted mode</sub> = 1.030, <i>p</i> = 0.044). Furthermore, we observed a causal link between celiac disease and a decreased eGFRcrea (OR<sub>IVW</sub> = 0.997, <i>P</i> = 2.94E-06; OR<sub>weighted median</sub> = 0.996, <i>P</i> = 1.68E-05; OR<sub>weighted mode</sub> = 0.996, <i>P</i> = 3.11E-04; OR<sub>MR Egger</sub> = 0.996, <i>P</i> = 5.00E-03). We found no significant evidence of horizontal pleiotropy, heterogeneity, or bias based on MR-Egger regression, MR-PRESSO, and Cochran's Q test.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The results of this study indicate a causal relationship between celiac disease and an increased risk of CKD.</p>","PeriodicalId":20839,"journal":{"name":"Renal Failure","volume":"46 2","pages":"2357246"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11151793/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141237920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
