Abstract

Molecular evidence suggest that sufficient 25[OH]D levels could protect against renal function loss, but population-based studies on the association of 25[OH]D with change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) are limited and results discordant. No study explored the potential effect modification of VDR genetic variants on the relationship between 25[OH]D and change in kidney function. We used cross-sectional data from the 2010-2011 Swiss Study on Salt intake to compare the 25[OH]D levels, deficiency status and 25[OH]D level determinants in populations without CKD and with CKD. We tested the interaction of CKD status with six a priori defined attributes on vitamin D. We used baseline (2003-2006) and 5-year follow-up data (CoLaus study) of adults from the general population to evaluate the association of serum 25[OH]D with change in kidney function, rapid decline in kidney function, and incidence of CKD. Ten genetic polymorphisms, of which five were within the VDR gene, were considered a priori. We found that vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency (25(OH)D<30 ng/ml) was frequent among participants with CKD (74.8%, 95%CI 58.4-92.8) but neither the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency nor the mean 25(OH)D levels were different in patients with and without CKD. CKD status did not interact with major determinants of vitamin D for its effect on vitamin D status or levels. We found that annual eGFR change was associated with baseline vitamin D levels and that higher baseline vitamin D level was associated with decreased risk of rapid decline in eGFR. We found a significant Cdx2 VDR genotype-25(OH)D interaction on the risk of rapid eGFR decline or incident CKD (P-value for interaction=0.022). Among participants with the Cdx2 VDR risk allele (CT/TT genotype), the adjusted ROR was 1.17 (95%CI: 1.03-1.34), no association was found among participants without the Cdx 2 VDR risk allele genotype (CC genotype). Our results suggest that serum vitamin D may play an important role in the early stages of eGFR decline in adults from the general population. This association may vary with common genetic differences in the VDR gene.
