Abstract

Objective: The decline of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with type 2 diabetes is variable and early interventions would likely be cost effective. We elucidated the contribution of 17 plasma biomarkers to the prediction of eGFR loss on top of clinical risk factors. Research Design and Methods: We studied participants in PROVALID, a prospective multinational cohort study of patients with type 2 diabetes and a follow up of more than 24 months (n = 2560; baseline median eGFR 84 mL/min/1.73m2, UACR 8.1 mg/g). The 17 biomarkers were measured at baseline in 481 samples using Luminex technology and ELISA. The prediction of eGFR decline was evaluated by linear mixed modeling. Results: In univariable analyses nine of the 17 markers showed significant differences in median concentration between the two groups. A linear mixed model for eGFR obtained by variable selection exhibited an adjusted R2 of 62%. A panel of twelve biomarkers was selected by the procedure and accounted for 34% of the total explained variability, of which 32% were due to five markers. Each biomarker’s individual contribution to the prediction of eGFR decline on top of clinical predictors was generally low. When included into the model, baseline eGFR exhibited the largest explained variability of eGFR decline (R2 of 79%) and the contribution of each biomarker dropped below 1%. Conclusions: In this longitudinal study of patients with type 2 diabetes and maintained eGFR at baseline, 12 of the 17 candidate biomarkers were associated with eGFR decline, but their predictive power was low.
