Studies have yielded conflicting findings on the association of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) level with cardiovascular or all-cause mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This meta-analysis sought to evaluate the association of blood ADMA level with cardiovascular or all-cause mortality in CKD patients.
PubMed and Embase databases were comprehensively searched until September 9, 2020 for studies investigating the association of ADMA level with cardiovascular or all-cause mortality in CKD patients.
Data were collected from nine prospective studies involving 6553 patients. The pooled adjusted risk ratio (RR) of all-cause mortality was 2.06 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.43-2.96) for the highest versus the lowest ADMA level. Each 0.20 μmol/L ADMA increase was associated with 21% (95% CI 1.09-1.35) higher risk of all-cause mortality but not cardiovascular mortality (RR 1.07; 95% CI 0. 99-1.16). Subgroup analysis showed that each 0.20 μmol/L ADMA increase was significantly associated with all-cause mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients (RR 1.22; 95% CI 1.05-1.41) but not in patients with stage 3 to 4 CKD (RR 1.16; 95% CI 0.86-1.56).
Elevated ADMA level is independently associated with higher risk of all-cause mortality in ESRD patients.
关于不对称二甲基精氨酸(ADMA)水平与慢性肾脏病(CKD)患者心血管或全因死亡率的关系,已有研究得出相互矛盾的结果。本荟萃分析旨在评估血液 ADMA 水平与 CKD 患者心血管或全因死亡率的关系。
全面检索了 PubMed 和 Embase 数据库,截至 2020 年 9 月 9 日,以调查 ADMA 水平与 CKD 患者心血管或全因死亡率之间关系的研究。
共纳入 9 项前瞻性研究,纳入 6553 例患者。与 ADMA 水平最低者相比,ADMA 水平最高者全因死亡率的汇总调整风险比(RR)为 2.06(95%置信区间[CI]为 1.43-2.96)。ADMA 每增加 0.20μmol/L,全因死亡率的风险增加 21%(95%CI 为 1.09-1.35),但与心血管死亡率无关(RR 为 1.07;95%CI 为 0.99-1.16)。亚组分析显示,ADMA 每增加 0.20μmol/L,与终末期肾病(ESRD)患者的全因死亡率显著相关(RR 为 1.22;95%CI 为 1.05-1.41),但与 3 至 4 期 CKD 患者无关(RR 为 1.16;95%CI 为 0.86-1.56)。
ADMA 水平升高与 ESRD 患者全因死亡率风险增加独立相关。
