    Longitudinal change in c-terminal fibroblast growth factor 23 and outcomes in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease
    (BMC, 2021-01-01) Alderson V, Helen; Chinnadurai, Rajkumar; Ibrahim, Sara T.; Asar, Ozgur; Ritchie, James P.; Middleton, Rachel; Larsson, Anders; Diggle, Peter J.; Larsson, Tobias E.; Kalra, Philip A.
    Background Fibroblast growth factor23 (FGF23) is elevated in CKD and has been associated with outcomes such as death, cardiovascular (CV) events and progression to Renal Replacement therapy (RRT). The majority of studies have been unable to account for change in FGF23 over time and those which have demonstrate conflicting results. We performed a survival analysis looking at change in c-terminal FGF23 (cFGF23) over time to assess the relative contribution of cFGF23 to these outcomes. Methods We measured cFGF23 on plasma samples from 388 patients with CKD 3-5 who had serial measurements of cFGF23, with a mean of 4.2 samples per individual. We used linear regression analysis to assess the annual rate of change in cFGF23 and assessed the relationship between time-varying cFGF23 and the outcomes in a cox-regression analysis. Results Across our population, median baseline eGFR was 32.3mls/min/1.73m(2), median baseline cFGF23 was 162 relative units/ml (RU/ml) (IQR 101-244 RU/mL). Over 70 months (IQR 53-97) median follow-up, 76 (19.6\%) patients progressed to RRT, 86 (22.2\%) died, and 52 (13.4\%) suffered a major non-fatal CV event. On multivariate analysis, longitudinal change in cFGF23 was significantly associated with risk for death and progression to RRT but not non-fatal cardiovascular events. Conclusion In our study, increasing cFGF23 was significantly associated with risk for death and RRT.

    The influence of multiple episodes of acute kidney injury on survival and progression to end stage kidney disease in patients with chronic kidney disease
    (PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019-01-01) Sykes, Lynne; Asar, Ozgur; Ritchie, James; Raman, Maharajan; Vassallo, Diana; Alderson, Helen V.; O'Donoghue, Donal J.; Green, Darren; Diggle, Peter J.; Kalra, Philip A.
    Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are common syndromes associated with significant morbidity, mortality and cost. The extent to which repeated AKI episodes may cumulatively affect the rate of progression of all-cause CKD has not previously been investigated. In this study, we explored the hypothesis that repeated episodes of AKI increase the rate of renal functional deterioration loss in patients recruited to a large, all-cause CKD cohort. Methods Patients from the Salford Kidney Study (SKS) were considered. Application of KDIGO criteria to all available laboratory measurements of renal function identified episodes of AKI. A competing risks model was specified for four survival events: Stage 1 AKI
