WCN26-2311 A Risk of Incident Chronic Kidney Disease According to Individual CKM Syndrome Components: A UK Biobank Study

Key Points

The study aims to explore the relationship between individual CKM syndrome components and the risk of developing chronic kidney disease.
Analyzed data from the UK Biobank with a focus on CKM syndrome components and chronic kidney disease risk.
Conducted assessments of sociodemographic and functional characteristics between groups.
Utilized the Fried scale to evaluate frailty levels among patients.
Laboratory parameters exhibited significant differences, indicating varied physiological profiles.
No statistical significance was found in frailty levels, despite higher measured frailty in HD patients.
All-cause mortality rates were similar between groups, suggesting measured frailty might not impact survival.

Abstract

Conclusion:This study provides crucial insights into frailty profiles and mortality over a median follow-up of 402 days.Although sociodemographic and functional characteristics were comparable between groups, significant differences were observed in laboratory parameters, reflecting distinct physiological profiles that may influence treatment outcomes.HD patients showed greater frailty according to the Fried scale, without statistical significance, and all-cause mortality rates were similar between groups, suggesting that accurately measured frailty may not be a determining factor for survival differences in this cohort.Patient-centered care is essential to address risk factors before and during dialytic therapy.I have no potential conflict of interest to disclose.I did not use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process.
