RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Diabetic patients on haemodialysis have a higher risk of mortality than non-diabetic patients. The aim of this COSMOS (Current management of secondary hyperparathyroidism: a multicentre observational study) analysis was to assess whether bone and mineral laboratory values [calcium, phosphorus and parathyroid hormone (PTH)] contribute to this risk. METHODS: COSMOS is a multicentre, open-cohort, 3-year prospective study, which includes 6797 patients from 227 randomly selected dialysis centres in 20 European countries. The association between mortality and calcium, phosphate or PTH was assessed using Cox proportional hazard regression models using both penalized splines smoothing and categorization according to KDIGO guidelines. The effect modification of the association between the relative risk of mortality and serum calcium, phosphate or PTH by diabetes was assessed. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant effect modification of the association between the relative risk of mortality and serum PTH by diabetes (P = .011). The slope of the curve of the association between increasing values of PTH and relative risk of mortality was steeper for diabetic compared with non-diabetic patients, mainly for high levels of PTH. In addition, high serum PTH (>9 times the normal values) was significantly associated with a higher relative risk of mortality in diabetic patients but not in non-diabetic patients [1.53 (95% confidence interval 1.07-2.19) and 1.17 (95% confidence interval 0.91-1.52)]. No significant effect modification of the association between the relative risk of mortality and serum calcium or phosphate by diabetes was found (P = .2 and P = .059, respectively). CONCLUSION: The results show a different association of PTH with the relative risk of mortality in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. These findings could have relevant implications for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorders.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Information about the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in population treated in primary care (PC) is scarce. The aim of this study was to determine undetected CKD prevalence in dyslipidemic population measuring creatinine clearance according to the Cockcroft-Gault equation corrected for surface area. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Cross-sectional study including patients with diagnosis of dyslipidemia selected by consecutive sampling in PC. CKD was diagnosed when the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2. We assessed sociodemographic and clinical data, cardiovascular risk factors, coronary disease risk categories, dyslipidemia characteristics, functional CKD stage, and pharmacological treatments. RESULTS: The sample included 5,990 patients (50.2% women). The mean (standard deviation) age was 60.9 (11.1) years. The main reason for iclusion was hypercholesterolemia (65%), followed by mixed hyperlipidemia (26.4%), low high density lipoproteins (HDL)-cholesterol (4.9%) and hypertrigliceridemia (3.7%). According to the Cockcroft-Gault equation, CKD prevalence was 16.2% (95% confidence interval, 15.3-17.1) and it was significantly higher in women (22.7%) than in men (9.8%) (p < 0.0001). Patients with CKD were older compared with patients with normal GFR, and had higher systolic blood pressure, glucose and HDL-cholesterol (p < 0.001), as well as lower levels of total cholesterol, low density lipoproteins-cholesterol, and triglycerides (p < 0.01). The probability of presenting CKD was related to female gender, age, and lower body mass index. CONCLUSIONS: The LIPICAP study results indicate that almost 20% of PC dyslipidemic patients in Spain present undetected CKD when the GFR is measured according to the Cockcroft-Gault equation corrected for surface area.
