Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25 (OH)D3] and arterial stiffness in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).Methods Three hundred patients with CKD were included,and were divided into two groups based on serum 25(OH)D3 levels:vitamin D deficient [25(OH)D3 ＜ 20 μg/L] and vitamin D non-deficient [25(OH)D3≥20 μg/L].Brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV),which reflected arterial stiffness,was calculated using the single-point method.Clinical data were collected in details.Correlation between serum 25(OH)D3 level and baPWV was assessed by the single factor correlation test and multiple linear regression analysis.Results The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 62.7％(188/300).The concentration of 25(OH)D3 was (17.62±8.54) μg/L in total patients,but was (12.38±4.55) μg/L and (26.44±6.05) μg/L in the subgroups of vitamin D deficient and non-deficient,respectively(P ＜ 0.01).There was a higher value of baPWV in the group of vitamin D deficient than that of vitamin D non-deficient (1 827.34±429.11 vs 1 555.31 ±353.14,P ＜ 0.01).Serum 25(OH)D3 level and baPWV was negatively correlated in total patients(r=-0.38,P ＜ 0.01) and each stage of CKD(stage 2-5)[r=-0.30,P ＜ 0.05; r=-0.26,P ＜ 0.05; r=-0.46,P ＜ 0.01; r=-0.57,P ＜ 0.01].Multiple linear regression analysis showed that vitamin D level was independently associated with baPWV(Model 1:β=-0.18,P ＜ 0.01; Model 2:β=-0.17,P=0.01).Both models accounted for 50％ (R2=0.50) of total variance of baPWV.Conclusions Vitamin D deficiency is common in CKD,and a low 25(OH)D3 level is significantly associated with increased arterial stiffness in these patients.Clinical intervention studies are needed to clarify whether treatment with vitamin D decreases the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with CKD.
