- Abstract: BACKGROUND:Plasma coagulation factors have been shown to be strongly associated with chronic kidney disease in many observational studies.Nevertheless,the causal relationship between plasma coagulation factors and chronic kidney disease has not been fully revealed.OBJECTIVE:To assess and explore the association between plasma coagulation factors and chronic kidney disease risk using a two-sample Mendelian randomization approach.METHODS:Genome-wide association study data of 39 plasma coagulation factors with different ID numbers were obtained from the GWAS Catalog database and chronic kidney disease genome-wide association analysis data(ebi-a-GCST003374)were obtained from the Open Genome-Wide Association Study database(IEU Open GWAS),where the sample size of the chronic kidney disease dataset was 117 165 cases and the number of single nucleotide polymorphisms was 2 179 497.Inverse variance weighting,MR-Egger regression,weighted median,weighted mode,and simple mode were used to explore causality.Meanwhile,Cochran Q test was used to assess the variability of single nucleotide polymorphism loci.Horizontal pleiotropy of single nucleotide polymorphisms was verified by MR-Egger intercept test.Sensitivity analyses were performed using the"leave-one-out"method to determine whether the Mendelian randomization results would be confounded by a single single nucleotide polymorphism site.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)A total of four plasma coagulation factors were associated with chronic kidney disease by Mendelian randomization analysis of 39 plasma coagulation factors and chronic kidney disease.Plasma coagulation factor V(FV)level(odds ratio[OR]=0.922,95％confidence interval[CI]:0.875-0.971,P=0.002),plasma FVII level(OR=0.719,95％CI:0.521-0.991,P=0.044),plasma FXa level(OR=1.113,95％CI:1.009-1.227,P=0.032),plasma antithrombin-level(OR=0.849,95％CI:0.739-0.975,P=0.020)were significantly associated with chronic kidney disease(all P＜0.05).Horizontal pleiotropy and heterogeneity were not detected.(2)Based on the two-sample Mendelian randomization in the genetic epidemiologic method,plasma FVII level,plasma antithrombin-level,and plasma FV level of coagulation factors were protective factors for the risk of chronic kidney disease,and plasma FXa level was a risk factor of chronic kidney disease.(3)The above results confirm that there is a significant potential causal relationship between plasma coagulation factors and chronic kidney disease.Although we analyzed the data of European populations from international databases,these data analyses have a reference value for the study of chronic kidney disease and coagulation factors in China,and they also provide innovative insights into the study of the genetic epidemiology of chronic kidney disease,and they also provide a certain reference value for the in-depth study of the related databases in China,including the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study database.Future studies can focus on the assessment of hypocoagulability or hypercoagulability of related coagulation factors in patients with chronic kidney disease.
