Correlation between the levels of serum Klotho with renal impairment in chronic kidney disease patients / 实用医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the relationship between the level of serum Klotho with renal impairment in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Methods 100 patients with CKD 1-5 stages (CKD group) and 30 non-CKD patients (control group) were enrolled. The serum of Klotho was detected by ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ) to investigate the correlation between the level of serum Klotho to progression of CKD. Results The levels of serum Klotho in CKD group 9.81 (7.45,12.2) ng/mL and control group 2.97 (1.75,5.23) ng/mL were significantly different (P < 0.01); The Klotho level declined as renal insufficiency progressed. Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum Klotho in CKD patients was positively correlated with eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate), blood calcium and hemoglobin,while was negatively correlated with phosphate, age, logserum creatinine, and logFGF-23. Multiple regression analysis showed age, logScr and logFGF-23 were independent factors for expression of serum Klotho in CKD patients. Conclusion Serum Klotho level in CKD patients decreased with the deterioration in renal function and serum Klotho maybe one of indicators to predict the progression of renal function in CKD patients.
