Serum klotho and its associations with blood and urine cadmium and lead across various stages of glomerular function: data for US adults aged 40–79 years
2022
Jain, Ram B.
Exposures to cadmium and lead can cause oxidative stress, leading to tissue damage resulting in kidney and cardiovascular diseases. The antiaging protein klotho, on the other hand, is known to act as an anti-oxidative agent. How klotho homeostasis interacts with exposure to cadmium and lead has not been reported. Thus, this study was carried to investigate associations of serum klotho with blood and urine cadmium and lead in US adults aged 40–79 years across stages of eGFR-based kidney function and albuminuria defined as urinary albumin/creatinine ratio of > 30 mg/g creatinine. As long as the kidney function was normal (eGFR ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73 m²) or near normal (60 ≤ eGFR < 90 mL/min/1.73 m²), there was no evidence of an association between cadmium exposure and klotho concentrations irrespective of the presence/absence of albuminuria. During kidney dysfunction (15 ≤ eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m²), 10% increases in blood cadmium concentrations resulted in decreases in klotho concentrations between 0.27 and 0.84%. In addition, during severe kidney dysfunction (15 ≤ eGFR < 45 mL/min/1.73 m²), a positive association between urine cadmium and serum klotho concentrations was observed. In the absence of albuminuria and when kidney function was normal or near normal, 10% increases in blood lead concentrations were observed to be associated with modest decreases between 0.28% and 0.37% in serum klotho concentrations. Similar results were observed between the concentrations of urine lead and serum klotho during kidney dysfunction.
