This cohort study investigates the association between insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1), bone mineral density, and frailty phenotype in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Forty-six patients (median age 14.5 years) were prospectively enrolled. Frailty phenotype was defined as the presence ≥ 3 of the following indicators: suboptimal growth/weight gain (body mass index height age < 5th percentile or height < 3rd percentile or loss of ≥ 10 percentiles/year in at least one parameter), low muscle mass (lean tissue mass height age < 5th percentile or loss of ≥ 10 percentiles/year), general fatigue reported by parent or child, and C-reactive protein > 3 mg/l. Lumbar bone mineral apparent density (LBMAD) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, body composition by bioimpedance spectroscopy, and IGF-1 by enzyme-labeled chemiluminescent immunometric assay.
Frailty phenotype (seven patients) was more frequent in advanced CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 ml/min/1.73m) (p = 0.014). IGF-1 and LBMAD z-scores were lower in patients with suboptimal growth/weight gain (14 patients) (p = 0.013, p = 0.012), low muscle mass (nine patients) (p = 0.001, p = 0.009), and general fatigue (eight patients) (p < 0.001, p = 0.004). IFG-1 and LBMAD z-scores were associated with frailty phenotype (OR 0.109, 95% CI 0.015-0.798 and OR 0.277, 95% CI 0.085-0.903) after adjustment for CKD stage. IGF-1 z-score was associated with LBMAD < 5th percentile (six patients) (OR 0.020, 95% CI 0.001-0.450) after adjustment for CKD stage. The association between LBMAD and frailty phenotype lost significance after adjustment for IGF-1.
Frailty phenotype is more frequent in advanced pediatric CKD. IGF-1 is negatively associated with frailty phenotype and interferes in the association between frailty and LBMAD.
本队列研究旨在探讨胰岛素样生长因子-1(IGF-1)、骨密度与慢性肾脏病(CKD)患儿虚弱表型之间的关系。
前瞻性纳入 46 例患者(中位年龄 14.5 岁)。虚弱表型定义为存在以下 3 项以上指标:生长/体重增长不理想(身高年龄<第 5 百分位数或身高<第 3 百分位数或至少有一个参数每年下降≥10 个百分位)、肌肉量低(瘦组织质量身高年龄<第 5 百分位数或每年下降≥10 个百分位)、父母或患儿报告的全身乏力、C-反应蛋白>3mg/L。腰椎骨矿物质表观密度(LBMAD)通过双能 X 射线吸收法测定,体成分通过生物电阻抗法测定,IGF-1 通过酶联化学发光免疫测定法测定。
在进展性 CKD(估算肾小球滤过率<30ml/min/1.73m2)患者中,虚弱表型(7 例)更为常见(p=0.014)。在生长/体重增长不理想(14 例)、肌肉量低(9 例)和全身乏力(8 例)患者中,IGF-1 和 LBMAD z 评分较低(p=0.013,p=0.012;p=0.001,p=0.009;p<0.001,p=0.004)。在调整 CKD 分期后,IGF-1 和 LBMAD z 评分与虚弱表型相关(OR 0.109,95%CI 0.015-0.798 和 OR 0.277,95%CI 0.085-0.903)。在调整 CKD 分期后,IGF-1 z 评分与 LBMAD<第 5 百分位数(6 例)相关(OR 0.020,95%CI 0.001-0.450)。在调整 IGF-1 后,LBMAD 与虚弱表型的相关性不再显著。
在进展性小儿 CKD 中,虚弱表型更为常见。IGF-1 与虚弱表型呈负相关,并干扰虚弱与 LBMAD 之间的关联。
