Cardiometabolic comorbidities in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: a 16-year retrospective cohort study

Abstract Background Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most prevalent hereditary kidney disease and the fourth leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT). Nevertheless, there is a paucity of epidemiological research examining th...

description Abstract Background Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most prevalent hereditary kidney disease and the fourth leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT). Nevertheless, there is a paucity of epidemiological research examining the risk factors and survival on RRT for ADPKD. Thus, we aimed to investigate the cumulative effects of cardiometabolic comorbidities, including hypertension (HTN), type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), and dyslipidemia (DLP) to clinical outcomes in ADPKD. Methods We identified 6,142 patients with ADPKD aged ≥ 20 years from 2000 to 2015 using a nationwide population-based database. HTN, DM, and DLP diagnoses before or at the time of ADPKD diagnosis and different combinations of the three diagnoses were used as the predictors for the outcomes. Survival analyses were used to estimate the adjusted mortality risk from cardiometabolic comorbidities and the risk for renal survival. Results Patients with ADPKD who developed ESRD had the higher all-cause mortality (HR, 5.14; [95% CI: 3.88–6.80]). Patients with all three of the diseases had a significantly higher risk of entering ESRD (HR:4.15, [95% CI:3.27–5.27]), followed by those with HTN and DM (HR:3.62, [95% CI:2.82–4.65]), HTN and DLP (HR:3.54, [95% CI:2.91–4.31]), and HTN alone (HR:3.10, [95% CI:2.62–3.66]) compared with those without any three cardiometabolic comorbidities. Conclusions Our study discovered the cumulative effect of HTN, DM, and DLP on the risk of developing ESRD, which reinforces the urgency of proactive prevention of cardiometabolic comorbidities to improve renal outcomes and overall survival in ADPKD patients.
