AI Article Synopsis

  • * Results indicate that higher MBL concentrations are positively associated with conditions like diabetes, smoking, and worsening kidney function, while negatively associated with heart function (measured by ejection fraction).
  • * The research concludes that elevated plasma MBL is linked to an increased risk of advanced kidney impairment (KDIGO stage G3a-G4) and heart failure, suggesting MBL may be a significant biomarker in these conditions.

Article Abstract

Background: Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) has been associated with cardiovascular disease and its complications, the progression of diabetic nephropathy, and complement-mediated renal interstitial injury. However, the relationship between plasma MBL concentration with both heart failure and renal function is unclear. In this study, we examined associations of plasma MBL with both renal function and heart failure in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD).

Methods: We enrolled 348 consecutive stable CAD patients and used ELISA to evaluate plasma concentrations of MBL. Renal function was classified into KDIGO G1, G2 and G3a-G4 groups according to the eGFR of ≥ 90, 60-89 and 15-59, ml/min/1.73 m, respectively. Patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 40 % were classified to have heart failure.

Results: A significant positive association was found between MBL with diabetes mellitus, current smoker, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and brain natriuretic peptide, and a significant negative association was found between MBL with eGFR and LVEF. KDIGO stage G3a-G4 and heart failure increased along with tertiles of MBL (p for trend < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that compared to the patients with a low MBL concentration, the odds ratios of having KDIGO stage G3a-G4 were 1.89 (1.01-3.55) times and 2.37 (1.25-4.59) times higher for those with medium and high MBL concentrations. Furthermore, compared to the patients with a low MBL concentration, the OR of having heart failure were 1.97 (1.01-3.93) times higher for those with high MBL concentrations. Moreover, multivariate analysis showed an independent association between plasma MBL concentration with both KDIGO stage G3a-G4 and heart failure (LVEF < 40 %). In addition, the effect of MBL on both LVEF and eGFR was confirmed by structural equation model analysis.

Conclusion: There are associations between circulating MBL concentration with both heart failure and renal function in stable CAD patients, suggesting that increased plasma MBL may contribute to the pathogenesis of both chronic kidney disease and heart failure.
