Association of kidney function and brain health: A systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study investigates how kidney dysfunction is related to brain health, particularly looking at structural and functional abnormalities in the brain.
  • - A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed on studies that explored the impact of kidney function, measured by eGFR or UACR, on brain abnormalities, while excluding populations under 18.
  • - The findings included data from 53 studies with over 3 million participants, highlighting a significant link between kidney dysfunction and cerebral small vessel disease but not finding conclusive results in all analyses.

Article Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the bidirectional association between the kidney dysfunction and the brain health, including structural and functional abnormalities.

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis with network meta-analysis for outcomes with different estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ranges.

Data Sources: PubMed, Embase database, Cochrane library and Web of Science (up to Dec. 2021).

Eligibility Criteria For Selecting Studies: Longitudinal studies that provided evidence of the impact of kidney function estimated from eGFR and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) or chronic kidney disease (CKD) on structural and functional brain abnormalities, and those that provided evidence of the opposite relationship. Studies with study population mean age under 18 years old were excluded.

Main Outcome Measures: Two independent reviewers screened the included studies, extracted the data, and assessed the risk of bias. We performed a random-effects meta-analysis and a network meta-analysis for outcomes with compatible data. We assessed the risk of bias using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale criteria (NOS). Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were conducted to explore heterogeneity in the meta-analyses. Inconsistency analyses using the node-splitting method were performed to confirm the results of network meta-analysis.

Results: A total of 53 studies with 3037,357 participants were included in the current systematic review. Among these, 16 provided evidence of structural brain abnormalities, and 38 provided evidence of cognitive impairment and dementia. Analysis of evidence of categorical kidney function showed a positive association between kidney dysfunction and cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) (relative risk (RR) 1.77, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.40-2.24, I = 0.0%), but such results were not found in the analyses of evidence where the kidney function was measured as a continuous variable. Meanwhile, analysis of 28 prior longitudinal studies with 194 compatible sets of data showed that the worse kidney function as categorical variables was related to a greater risk of global brain cognitive disorder (RR 1.28, 95% CI 1.20-1.36, I = 82.5%).

Conclusions: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we found a positive association between CKD and functional brain disorders. However, the relationship between the kidney dysfunction and structural abnormalities in the brain remains controversial. As for the opposite relationship, structural brain abnormalities, especially cerebral microbleeds and silent infarction, but not functional brain abnormalities, are associated with worse renal function. In addition, a higher UACR, but not a lower eGFR, was associated with a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia.
