In fact, international nephrology (National Kidney Foundation) and cardiology (American Heart Association) societies recommend considering CKD as an independent risk factor.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">4,5</span> In addition, the cardiovascular risk factors mentioned above are also CKD progression factors.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">There is currently growing interest in identifying markers that will allow us to distinguish between CKD patients who are at increased cardiovascular risk.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Different cardiac biomarkers, such as troponin or natriuretic peptide, have been proposed for identifying those CKD patients with an increased cardiovascular risk.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span> It is known that an asymptomatic increase in these markers leads to a poor cardiovascular and overall prognosis in CKD patients. This is due to silent myocardial damage and not to deterioration in renal function itself.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Other emerging markers have appeared in recent years that have also been associated with increased cardiovascular risk. These include uric acid, cytokines, interleukins or adiponectins.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">9,10</span> These emerging markers have demonstrated their predictive value in several studies. However, they are still not included in routine clinical practice. For this reason, the classic factors continue to form the foundation for stratifying cardiovascular risk in CKD patients.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">11-13</span> In addition, different intrinsic factors of kidney disease itself are associated with a greater number of events. These include proteinuria, calcium-phosphorus metabolism alterations, anaemia or water-electrolyte disorders.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">14,15</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The focus of this study is to determine which risk factors are associated with suffering a cardiovascular event and death in the CKD population. These include some emerging factors in order to corroborate their utility in stratifying cardiovascular risk in these patients.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> </p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">MATERIAL AND METHOD</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> </p><p class="elsevierStylePara">We performed a prospective study over 6 months with 218 consecutive patients with stable CKD (stages I-IV) in outpatient nephrology follow-up, of which 135 (62%) were men and the median age was 69 (56-78) years. The data were collected and evaluated by four observers. Demographic variables (age and sex), personal medical history (cardiovascular risk factors [presence of diabetes, dyslipidaemia, smoking, blood pressure levels and monitoring, abdominal circumference] and cardiovascular history prior to the study) were collected at baseline and laboratory studies were ordered for cardiac markers (troponin T, brain natriuretic peptide [BNP]), kidney disease (creatinine, albuminuria), inflammation-nutritional markers (ferritin, fibrinogen, C-reactive protein [CRP], albumin), calcium-phosphorus metabolism markers (parathyroid hormone [PTH], calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D) as well as other variables that were considered relevant such as insulin, homocystein and haemoglobin. None of these measurements required more blood draws or office visits on the part of the patient. Patients also provided verbal informed consent for inclusion in the study.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">We define dyslipidaemia according to the ATP III guidelines (LDL greater than 160mg/dl in patients with 0-1 risk factor; greater than 130mg/dl in patients with more than 1 risk factor; greater than 100mg/dl in patients with coronary artery disease or equivalent; or those in treatment with lipid-lowering agents).<span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span> We define hypertension according to the criteria of the seventh report of the Joint National Committee (blood pressure above 140/90mmHg or in treatment with at least one antihypertensive agent).<span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span> We define progression according to the recently published “Consensus Document on Chronic Kidney Disease"<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span> as loss of more than 5ml/min/1.73m<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span>/year of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), GFR deterioration greater than 25% or greater than 50% increase in the urine albumin/creatinine ratio.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Routine methods were used to measure creatinine, albumin, haemoglobin, uric acid, fibrinogen, PTH, calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D.  Ultrasensitive CRP was measured using turbidimetric immunoassay in the HITACHI automatic analyzer (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO, USA). Albuminuria was measured as the albumin/creatinine ratio with an immunonephelometric method. Cardiac troponin T and BNP were measured using a third-generation electrochemiluminescence (ECLIA) immunoassay (Roche Diagnostics, Basel, Switzerland). Based on the estimated GFR by CKD-EPI, we divided the patients into stages according to the K/DOQI Guideline classification.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The first cardiovascular events (fatal and non-fatal) were recorded during follow-up (median 38 [37-39] months):</p><ul><li>Heart failure.</li><li>Arrhythmia.</li><li>Peripheral artery disease (diagnosed as stenosis of the main arteries or arteries of the lower extremities confirmed by arteriogram; or the need for amputation).</li><li>Stroke.</li><li>Coronary event.</li></ul><p class="elsevierStylePara">In addition to deaths by other causes, we defined a combined variable for all endpoint events (composed of cardiovascular events and death due to any cause).</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">A univariate analysis was done in order to corroborate the factors associated with an endpoint event. Afterwards, those factors that were independent predictors were analyzed using multivariate analysis.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The variables are expressed as the mean (standard deviation) if they follow a normal distribution (according the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test). When the variables do not follow a normal distribution, they are expressed as the median (interquartile range). Student’s t test or the χ<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span> test was used for variables with a normal distribution, otherwise the Mann-Whitney U test was used.  Logistical regression analysis was performed to analyze what variables were predictive of endpoint events. A survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier curves in order to confirm the link between albuminuria (urine albumin/creatinine ratio above or below 1000mg/g) and the events. In addition, linear regression was used to calculate the progression of CKD. This cut-off point was chosen as it was sufficient data in the univariate analysis. A value of <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">P</span><.05 was considered to be statistically significant. SPSS version 16® (Chicago, IL, USA) was used for the statistical analysis.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> </p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">RESULTS</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> </p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The baseline characteristics of the population (n=218) are shown in Table 1. The baseline laboratory values are shown in Table 2. Patients with CKD, stages 1 to 4, were included and distributed as follows: stage 1, 10%; stage 2, 18%; stage 3, 48%; stage 4, 23%.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">During follow-up (38 [37-39] months), 50 patients had an event: 37 patients (17%) had a cardiovascular event and 13 (6%) died due to a non-cardiovascular cause. The distribution of the events was the following: 33% coronary event, 29% died, 17% first episode of heart failure, 8% some type of arrhythmia, 8% stroke and 2% peripheral artery disease. 10% of patients (21) were lost in follow-up because they stopped coming in to the outpatient clinic. Among the lost patients and those who completed follow-up, statistically significant differences were only found for sex (more men lost, <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">P</span>=.022).</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The univariate analysis revealed that factors that were associated with having an endpoint event (cardiovascular event or death due to non-cardiovascular cause) were male sex, active smoking, diabetes mellitus, low diastolic blood pressure, cardiovascular history, lower GFR, an urine albumin/creatinine ratio greater than 1000mg/g (when we found 300mg/g, we obtained a value of <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">P</span>=.14), troponin T levels greater than 0.01ng/l, BNP levels greater than 34pg/ml, CRP levels greater than 2.7mg/dl and low haemoglobin levels (Table 4). A survival analysis was performed for the endpoint event with Kaplan-Meier curves in order to evaluate their associated with albuminuria levels (Figure 1). We found no significant differences between patients with and without progression of their CKD (<span class="elsevierStyleItalic">P</span>=.566).</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Male sex, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular history and reduced GFR maintained their independent predictive value on multivariate analysis by logical regression.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> </p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">DISCUSSION</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> </p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Classic cardiovascular risk factors such as being male, diabetic, having a higher stage of kidney disease or having a cardiovascular history are independent predictors of cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with CKD.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The incidence of events in our population is around 5% annually, findings that are slightly lower than previously published series.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">19,20</span> This is probably due to a different distribution of patients by stages in our series (with a greater number in stage 3), the younger age of our patients and the lesser history of cardiovascular risk factors. In addition, the distribution of cardiovascular events increases with kidney disease stage. However, this progression disappears when mortality is combined in the endpoint event. The reason is probably the same since an event in stages 1 and 2 leads to a significant increase in the total percentage.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">As in our case, male sex has been shown to be an independent factor for cardiovascular events and mortality in populations with and without kidney disease.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">21,22</span> However, age does not achieve a significant value between both groups. This is probably because of the very narrow age range in our patients. Conversely, tobacco use, which is associated with having an event, loses its predictive value. This is because the majority of smokers have a cardiovascular history. In addition, the percentage of smokers in our outpatient clinic is low compared to the general population.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">23</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The association between kidney disease and cardiovascular events is known and has been studied broadly.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">4,5</span> The element that contributes most to an increase in these events is probably endothelial dysfunction given that this is considered to be the first step in the development of atheromas. This endothelial damage is not only explained by classic cardiovascular risk factors but also by the microinflammation environment in patients with CKD, uraemia, malnutrition, volume overload or calcium-phosphorus metabolism alterations.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">24-26</span> These data support the assertion that kidney disease itself is a cardiovascular risk factor and leads to the determination that, despite carrying out exhaustive monitoring of these factors, the population with CKD continues to be at an increased risk for an event.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">27</span> The classic RENAAL and LIFE studies on cardiovascular risk, which include diabetic and/or hypertensive patients, demonstrate that baseline creatinine is the most significant independent predictor for the development of cardiovascular events.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">28-30</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The association between elevated cardiac markers and cardiovascular events indicates the presence of these subclinical asymptomatic lesions in patients with CKD.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span> Several studies have demonstrated that both troponin and natriuretic peptide levels are elevated in patients with CKD; however, this situation does not seem to be related to the deterioration in GFR but instead is due to silent myocardial damage or volume overload.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">7,31,32</span> Therefore, it is not surprising that after adjusting the multivariate model for cardiovascular risk factors, these variables lose their independent predictive ability. This is because they are not effectors but simply cardiovascular risk markers and their baseline value should therefore be obtained in the nephrology department.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">33</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Diabetes mellitus is a cardiovascular risk factor on its own. It causes an increase in cardiovascular events, as is seen in our data.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">34,35</span> However, although proteinuria shows an association with cardiovascular events, we have not been able to demonstrate that it is an independent predictive factor. This is probably due to the fact that diabetics make up the highest percentage of patients with a urine albumin/creatinine ratio greater than 1000mg/g, which causes it to lose its significance in multivariate analysis that includes diabetic patients. Conversely, the presence of hypertension was not associated with the presence of events, though low diastolic blood pressure was associated with having an event. Both high and low systolic and diastolic blood pressure has been associated with the presence of cardiovascular events and mortality, meaning that excessive control of hypertensive patients carries an increased risk that is similar to that seen in patients with high levels (J-curve effect).<span class="elsevierStyleSup">37,38</span> As can be seen in the distribution of CKD aetiology in Table 1, more than 40% of patients have vascular disease or diabetes. This confirms the high prevalence of these pathologies in patients with deteriorated kidney function. This distribution coincides with the data in the Spanish Nephrology Society registry.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">We were not able to demonstrate an association between increased cardiovascular risk and the emerging factors mentioned previously. In our cohort, neither the presence of increased uric acid nor inflammation markers demonstrated an association with the combined endpoint event. This is probably due to low baseline levels of these variables. Therefore, it would seem that monitoring these variables is less relevant in the prognosis of these patients when compared to the classic factors. These data lead us to think that indiscriminate measurement of these variables in nephrology department is, for the moment, not justified when compared to the classic cardiovascular risk parameters.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Our study has some limitations such as being a single-site study and it lacks the echocardiographic parameters necessary to perform a more exhaustive study of heart disease. As these are consecutive patients, the distribution of patients by stage is not homogeneous and above all the results are valid for the population studied (patients in an outpatient nephrology clinic). In addition, the number of patients and the follow-up time are also limitations of the study.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In conclusion, male sex, diabetes mellitus, having a reduced GFR (CKD-EPI) and a history of cardiovascular risk are independent predictors of cardiovascular risk factors and mortality in patients with CKD (stages 1-4). In addition, the presence of an albumin/creatinine ratio greater than 1000mg/g is associated with a greater number of events.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> </p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Conflicts of interest</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> </p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest related to the contents of this article.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><a href="grande/11895_16025_49223_en_t111895_03.jpg" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><img src="11895_16025_49223_en_t111895_03.jpg" alt="Baseline characteristics of the study population"></img></a></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Table 1.
