Abstract:
Objective To detect the level of serum α-klotho in different obese people and to investigate the correlation between serum α-klotho and obesity-related glomerulopathy (ORG).Methods A total of 48 cases of ORG diagnosed by renal biopsy were enrolled in the study.Fortyeight gender-,age-and BMI-matched obese participants,and 48 obese chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients without ORG were included as controls.The clinical manifestations,laboratory examinations of all three groups were collected,and the level of serum α-klotho protein was measured by ELISA.Results The patients with ORG were characterized by decreased serum α-klotho concentration compared with obese patients group and obese CKD patients group [572.66(439.92,690.58) pg/ml vs 635.85(559.52,769.20) pg/ml and 690.30(516.15,828.20) pg/ml,P＜ 0.01].Multinomial multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that serum α-klotho (per 100 pg/ml increased) was independently associated with the prevalence of ORG,and the risk of ORG decreased by 35％ in the obese participants (OR=0.652,95％ CI:0.487-0.872) and 38％ in CKD patients (OR=0.617,95％ CI:0.453-0.832) respectively.Conclusions The level of serum α-klotho is significantly decreased in ORG and associated with the prevalence of ORG independently.Serum α-klotho may be a protective factor for ORG.
