Background/Aims: Chronic kidney disease is a pro-inflammatory condition where the interplay between different regulatory pathways and immune cells mediates an unfavorable remodeling of the vascular wall and myocardial hypertrophy. These mechanisms include the action of CXCL12. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between serum CXCL12 with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and blood pressure control in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Methods: This single-center observational study involved 90 stable CKD stage 1–5 patients (including 33 renal transplant recipients) and 25 healthy age- and sex-matched control subjects. CXCL12 was quantified by ELISA. 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was performed in 90 patients and 25 healthy controls. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was calculated based on the transthoracic echocardiography measurements in 27 patients out of the CKD population and in the whole control group. Results: CXCL12 correlated significantly with LVMI by multivariate regression analysis (coefficient B = 0.33, p = 0.02) together with age (B = 0.30, p = 0.03) and gender (B = 0.41, p = 0.003). A positive correlation was observed between CXCL12 and average 24-h systolic blood pressure (SBP) (rho = 0.35, p = 0.001), daytime SBP (rho = 0.35, p = 0.001), and nocturnal SBP (rho = 0.30, p = 0.002). Nocturnal hypertension was frequent (46% of CKD patients). Conclusions: The results of our study point towards a link between CXCL12 and LVH as well as blood pressure control among patients with CKD, supporting the thesis that CXCL12 may be regarded as a new potential uremic toxin.

Abstract Background The cardiovascular mortality of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is 2–10 times higher than in the average population. Purpose To estimate the prevalence of abnormal cardiac function or structure across the stages CKD 1 to 5nonD. Method Prospective cohort study. Patients with CKD stage 1 to 5 not on dialysis, aged 30 to 75 (n=875) and age-/sex-matched controls (n=173) were enrolled consecutively. All participants underwent a health questionnaire, ECG, morphometric and blood pressure measurements. Blood and urine were analyzed. Echocardiography was performed. Left ventricle (LV) hypertrophy, dilatation, diastolic and systolic dysfunction were defined according to current ESC guidelines. Results 63% of participants were men. Mean age was 58 years (SD 12.6 years). Mean eGFR was 46.7 mL/min/1,73 m (SD 25.8) for patients and 82.3 mL/min/1,73 m (SD 13.4) for controls. The prevalence of elevated blood pressure at physical exam was 89% in patients vs. 53% in controls. Patients were more often smokers and obese. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was slightly, albeit insignificantly elevated at CKD stages 1 & 2 vs. in kontrols: 3.1 g/m2, CI: −0.4 to 6.75, p-value 0.08. There was no significant difference in LV-dilatation between patients and controls. Decreasing diastolic and systolic function was observed at CKD stage 3a and later: LVEF decreased 0.95% (CI: −1.5 to −0.2), GLS increased 0.5 (CI: 0.3 to 0.8), and OR for diastolic dysfunction increased 3.2 (CI 1.4 to 7.3) pr. increment CKD stage group. Conclusion In accordance to previous studies, we observe in the CPHCKD cohort study signs of early increase of LVMI in patients with CKD stage 1 & 2. Significant decline in systolic and diastolic cardiac function is apparent already at stage 3 CKD. Figure 1.
