RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: We aimed to examine the association of three mineral metabolism markers, including serum calcium, inorganic phosphorus, and intact parathyroid hormone with the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) at all stages. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study involved 3563 participants, including 3274 CKD patients and 289 healthy controls. CKD is diagnosed according to clinical guidelines from the 2012 KDIGO. Effect sizes are expressed odds ratio (OR) and 95 confidence interval (CI). RESULTS: After propensity score matching, per 0.5 mg/dL increment of inorganic phosphorus was significantly associated with 1.33-, 1.61-, and 2.85-fold increased risk of CKD at stages 1-2, 4, and 5, respectively. Regarding per 8 pg/mL increment of intact parathyroid hormone, significance was only noted for stage 5. In subsidiary analyses, the risk prediction of mineral metabolism markers under study was more evident in males and hypertensive subjects. A nomogram prediction model was constructed based on age, sex, and three mineral metabolism markers for CKD, with decent accuracy. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that serum calcium was associated with all-stage CKD risk, whereas the association for inorganic phosphorus and intact parathyroid hormone was significant at advanced stages.
