Impact of kidney function on biomarkers of neurodegeneration, white matter hyperintensities, and cognition in older adults
BACKGROUND
We evaluated the association between kidney function, neurodegenerative biomarkers (i.e., neurofilament light chain [NfL], total tau [t-tau], and glial fibrillary acidic protein [GFAP]), white matter hyperintensities, and global cognition.
METHODS
The study consisted of 1207 participants living on the south side of Chicago, Illinois, enrolled in the Chicago Health and Aging Project, a population-based cohort since 1993. Kidney function was assessed using the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcr), calculated according to the 2021 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology (CKD-EPI) based on age, sex, and serum creatinine levels.
RESULTS
In a multivariable-adjusted model, lower levels of eGFRcr were associated with higher levels of biomarkers of neurodegeneration. Specifically, for a 1-SD decrease of eGFRcr, there was a 22% increase in NfL levels in serum. eGFRcr levels were not associated with white matter hyperintensities or global cognition.
DISCUSSION
Kidney function may be considered when interpreting NfL, GFAP, and t-tau levels for risk stratification in research and clinical applications.
Highlights
Kidney function is associated with higher neurfilament light chain (NfL), total tau (t-tau), and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) serum concentrations, while there was no association with white matter hyperintensities or global cognition.
Individuals with severely impaired kidney function had 146.7% higher serum concentrations of NfL when compared to people with normal kidney function.
This study suggests assessing kidney function in older adults when interpreting NfL, GFAP, and t-tau levels in the serum for risk stratification.
期刊介绍:
Alzheimer's & Dementia is a peer-reviewed journal that aims to bridge knowledge gaps in dementia research by covering the entire spectrum, from basic science to clinical trials to social and behavioral investigations. It provides a platform for rapid communication of new findings and ideas, optimal translation of research into practical applications, increasing knowledge across diverse disciplines for early detection, diagnosis, and intervention, and identifying promising new research directions. In July 2008, Alzheimer's & Dementia was accepted for indexing by MEDLINE, recognizing its scientific merit and contribution to Alzheimer's research.
