Tubular biomarkers in proteinuric kidney disease: histology correlation and kidney prognosis of tubular biomarkers
Proteinuria is not only a biomarker of chronic kidney disease (CKD) but also a driver of CKD progression. The aim of this study was to evaluate serum and urinary tubular biomarkers in patients with biopsied proteinuric kidney disease and to correlate them with histology and kidney outcomes. A single...

| Sumario: | Proteinuria is not only a biomarker of chronic kidney disease (CKD) but also a driver of CKD progression. The aim of this study was to evaluate serum and urinary tubular biomarkers in patients with biopsied proteinuric kidney disease and to correlate them with histology and kidney outcomes. A single-center retrospective study was conducted on a cohort of 156 patients from January 2016 to December 2021. The following urinary and serum biomarkers were analyzed on the day of kidney biopsy: beta 2 microglobulin (β2-mcg), alpha 1 microglobulin (α1-mcg), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (uKIM-1), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), urinary Dickkopf-3 (uDKK3), uromodulin (urinary uUMOD), serum kidney injury molecule-1 (sKIM-1) and serum uromodulin (sUMOD). A composite outcome of kidney progression or death was recorded during a median follow-up period of 26 months. Multivariate regression analysis identified sUMOD (β-0.357, P < .001) and uDKK3 (β 0.483, P < .001) as independent predictors of interstitial fibrosis, adjusted for age, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and log proteinuria. Elevated levels of MCP-1 [odds ratio 15.61, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.52-69.20] were associated with a higher risk of cortical interstitial inflammation >10% adjusted for eGFR, log proteinuria and microhematuria. Upper tertiles of uDKK3 were associated with greater eGFR decline during follow-up. Although not a predictor of the composite outcome, doubling of uDKK3 was a predictor of kidney events (hazard ratio 2.26, 95% CI 1.04-4.94) after adjustment for interstitial fibrosis, eGFR and proteinuria. Tubular markers may have prognostic value in proteinuric kidney disease, correlating with specific histologic parameters and identifying cases at higher risk of CKD progression. |
