We investigate the role of homeostatic mechanisms involved in acute, postprandial nutrient metabolism and nutrient-induced systemic inflammation in CKD presence and progression in Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). We assessed postprandial incretins (GLP-1 and GIP), intestinotropic hormone GLP-2, endotoxin LPS, Zonulin (a marker of intestinal permeability), hepatokines, adipokines and NF-kB activation in circulating MNCs during a meal tolerance test in 52 biopsy proven MASH patients randomized to curcumin Meriva or placebo and 26 matched controls. At baseline, MASH-CKD had a lower GLP-2 response and a 2-fold higher postprandial LPS and NF-kB activation in MNCs than MASH patients without CKD, but similar remaining postprandial or fasting parameters. Postprandial IAUC GLP-2 predicted the presence of CKD in MASH (OR = 0.43, 95%CI:0.32-0.80, = 0.008) independently of liver histology and traditional risk factors. After 72 weeks, changes in IAUC GLP-2 independently predicted the presence of CKD (OR = 0.49, 95%CI:0.21-0.73, = 0.010) and eGFR changes [β(SE) = 0.510(0.007, = 0.006] at end-of-treatment, In MASH, an impaired GLP-2 response to meals is associated with intestinal barrier dysfunction, endotoxemia and NF-kB-mediated systemic inflammation and may promote renal dysfunction and CKD. These data provide the rationale for evaluating GLP-2 analogues in MASH-related CKD.
