AI Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 251,825 participants showed that higher LE8 scores were significantly associated with a reduced risk of developing CKD over an average follow-up of 12.8 years.
- * The findings indicate that better cardiovascular health, as measured by LE8, correlates with a lower likelihood of CKD, regardless of a person's genetic risk for the disease.
Article Abstract
Background: The AHA has recently introduced a novel metric, Life's Essential 8, to assess cardiovascular health (CVH). Nevertheless, the association between varying levels of LE8 and the propensity for CKD is still unclear from a large prospective cohort. Our objective is to meticulously examine the relationship between LE8 and its associated susceptibilities to CKD.
Methods: A total of 251,825 participants free of CKD from the UK Biobank were included. Cardiovascular health was scored using LE8 and categorized as low, moderate, and high. Cox proportional hazard models were employed to evaluate the associations of LE8 scores with new-onset CKD. The genetic risk score for CKD was calculated by a weighted method.
Results: Over a median follow-up of 12.8 years, we meticulously documented 10,124 incident cases of CKD. Remarkably, an increased LE8 score correlated with a significant reduction of risk in new-onset CKD (high LE8 score vs. low LE8 score: HR = 0.300, 95% CI 0.270-0.330, p < 0.001; median LE8 score vs. low LE8 score: HR = 0.531, 95% CI 0.487-0.580, p < 0.001). This strong LE8-CKD association remained robust in extensive subgroup assessments and sensitivity analysis. Additionally, these noteworthy associations between LE8 scores and CKD remained unaffected by genetic predispositions to CKD.
Conclusions: An elevated degree of CVH, as delineated by the discerning metric LE8, exhibited a pronounced and statistically significant correlation with a marked reduction in the likelihood of CKD occurrence.

Effect of an intensive lifestyle intervention on cystatin C-based kidney function in adults with overweight and obesity: From the PREDIMED-Plus trial.
J Intern Med
December 2024
Department of Endocrinology and Nutrition, Virgen de la Victoria University Hospital, Málaga, Spain.
Background: Large-scale trials evaluating a multicomponent lifestyle intervention aimed at weight loss on kidney function are lacking.
Methods: This was a post hoc analysis of the "PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea-Plus" (PREDIMED-Plus) randomized controlled trial, including patients with overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome, measured cystatin C and creatinine. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to an intensive weight loss lifestyle intervention (intervention group [IG]) consisting of an energy-restricted Mediterranean diet (MedDiet), physical activity promotion and behavioral support, or a control group (CG) receiving ad libitum MedDiet recommendations.
Background: This real-world evidence study compared risks of cardiovascular events in hospital settings among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with and without hyperkalemia.
Methods And Results: Adults with CKD stages 3b/4 with and without hyperkalemia were identified from Optum's deidentified Market Clarity Data (January 2016-August 2022). Patients with hyperkalemia were exact and propensity score matched to patients without hyperkalemia.

Background: Previous studies have examined clinical predictors of incident heart failure (HF) in men and women. However, potential mechanisms through which these clinical predictors relate to the onset of HF remain to be established.
Objectives: The authors studied the association between clinical and proteomic risk profiles of new-onset HF in men and women.

Article Synopsis
- Individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at a heightened risk for serious health issues as they progress towards kidney failure, prompting the need to identify proteins in the bloodstream that may play a role in this process.
- A study analyzed data from two groups, AASK and BKBC, which included a total of 1,137 participants with baseline protein measurements to see how these proteins correlate with the risk of kidney failure.
- The research identified 143 proteins linked to kidney failure, with one protein (Testican-2) associated with a reduced risk, highlighting the importance of certain proteins related to kidney health and disease mechanisms.
[A cohort study of correlation between fasting plasma glucose trajectory and new-onset chronic kidney disease in elderly population in Nanjing].

To explore the correlation between fasting plasma glucose (FPG) trajectory and new-onset chronic kidney disease (CKD) in elderly population (≥65 years old) in Nanjing. The study cohort was composed of 14 763 subjects who met the inclusion criteria in the population in elderly health examination in Nanjing. Based on the FPG levels detected in health examination from 2018 to 2021 (logarithm was used for normal distribution), three different FPG trajectory groups were determined using the SAS Proc Traj program, i.
