Background: Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is a new indicator of inflammation, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a connection to inflammation. However, the relationship between SII and CKD is still unsure. The aim of this study was whether there is an association between SII and CKD in the adult US population.
Methods: Data were from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in 2003-2018, and multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the independent linear association between SII and CKD. Smoothing curves and threshold effect analyses were utilized to describe the nonlinear association between SII and CKD.
Results: The analysis comprised 40,660 adults in total. After adjusting for a number of factors, we found a positive association between SII and CKD [1.06 (1.04, 1.07)]. In subgroup analysis and interaction tests, this positive correlation showed differences in the age, hypertension, and diabetes strata (p for interaction<0.05), but remained constant in the sex, BMI, abdominal obesity, smoking, and alcohol consumption strata. Smoothing curve fitting revealed a non-linear positive correlation between SII and CKD. Threshold analysis revealed a saturation effect of SII at the inflection point of 2100 (1,000 cells/μl). When SII < 2100 (1,000 cells/μl), SII was an independent risk element for CKD.
Conclusions: In the adult US population, our study found a positive association between SII and CKD (inflection point: 2100). The SII can be considered a positive indicator to identify CKD promptly and guide therapy.
