Abstract:
Objective:To observe the variation rend of serum creatinine(SCr)and estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)with aging, and to explore the warning range of SCr for screening low eGFR of the elderly.Methods:A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed in 10 3513 participants, including 14 221 in 18-29 years old, 29 763 in 30-39 years old, 23 151 in 40-49 years old, 18 838 in 50-59 years old, 10 019 in 60-69 years old, 5 009 in 70-79 years old, 2 512 aged ≥80 years old.We adopted CKD-EPI formula based on Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration(CKD-EPISCR)formula recommended by the Global Organization for Improving Outcomes in Kidney Disease 2012 to calculate eGFR.The SCr and eGFR levels were calculated according to age to show the trend of these with aging.Further, we used percentage to investigate the distribution of eGFR in population with normal SCr, and the percentile method to establish the warning range of SCr in the older adults.Results:With aging, SCr level showed an elevating trend in women( F=340.80, P<0.001), and gradually increased in men older than 50 years( F=111.05, P<0.001)and eGFR declined with increasing age( F=8 301.60, 9 114.53, P<0.001). In population with normal SCr, the proportions of eGFR<60 and 60-75 ml·min -1·1.73m -2 were 3.83%(661/17 280)and 12.50%(2 160/17 280)in older adults aged 60-74 years respectively, but were 10.39%(488/4 699)and 22.75%(1 069/4 699)in old-older adults aged 75 years and over respectively, and were 0.07%(56/84 145)and 0.91%(762/84 145)in younger adults below 60 years old respectively.In the same distribution of eGFR, SCr levels of older adults aged 60-74 years and old-older adults aged 75 years and over were lower than that of younger population( P<0.001). In old-older adults aged 75 years and over, the warning range of SCr was 98.76-126.03 μmol/L for men and 95.12-130.00 μmol/L for women in individuals with 45 ≤ eGFR<60 ml·min -1·1.73m -2. Conclusions:The SCr level of older adults is lower than younger individuals in same distribution of eGFR.SCr level is still in the reference range in some of older individuals with eGFR-confirmed renal function impairment.The warning range of SCr is needed, especially in older adults, so as to provide reference for the rational use of medicine and disease management.
