- Abstract
Introduction and aims Obesity is a risk factor for incident chronic kidney disease (CKD). C1q/TNF related protein 3 (CTRP3) is an adipokine with multiple effects and may modulate the association between obesity and vascular diseases. The aim of the study is to explore potential links between obesity, CTRP3 levels and CKD progression. Methods Patients with stage 3 and 4 CKD without previous cardiovascular events were enrolled and divided into groups according to body mass index (BMI) and sex. Demographic, clinical, analytical data and CTRP3 levels were collected at baseline. During follow-up, renal events (defined as dialysis initiation, serum creatinine doubling or a 50% decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate were registered). Results 81 patients were enrolled. 27 were obese and 54 non-obese. Baseline CTRP3 was similar between both groups (90.1 ± 23.8 vs 84.5 ± 6.2; p = 0.28). Of the sum, 54 were men and 27 women, with higher CTRP3 in women (81.4 ± 24.7 vs 106 ± 24.7; p < 0.01). During a mean follow-up of 68 months, 15 patients had a renal event. Patients in the higher CTRP3 tertile had less events but without statistical significance (p = 0.07). Obese patients in the higher CTRP3 tertile significantly had less renal events (p = 0.049). By multiple regression analysis CTRP3 levels could not predict renal events (HR 0.98; CI95% 0.96–1.06). Conclusions CTRP3 levels are higher in woman than men in patients with CKD, with similar levels between obese and non obese. Higher CTRP3 levels at baseline were associated with better renal outcomes in obese patients.
