Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Childhood obesity is associated with later development of significant renal morbidity. We evaluated the impact of the degree of insulin sensitivity on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and determined the factors associated with eGFR in obese children. We further tested the relation of eGFR to clinical outcomes such as blood pressure and microalbuminuria. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We evaluated the relation of whole body insulin sensitivity and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) across the spectrum of obesity in children and adolescents. eGFR was calculated using the iCARE formula, which has been validated in obese children with varying glucose tolerance. RESULTS: 1080 children and adolescents with overweight and obesity (701 females and 379 males) participated. Insulin sensitivity was a strongly negatively associated with (B = -2.72, p < 0.001) eGFR), even after adjustment for potential confounders. Male sex emerged to be significantly associated with eGFR with boys having greater values than girls (B = 18.82, p < 0.001). Age was a positively associated (B = 2.86, p < 0.001) with eGFR. Whole body and hepatic insulin sensitivity decreased across eGFR quartiles. Adjusted eGFR was tightly positively associated with systolic blood pressure (B = 0.09, p = 0.003) and negatively associated with the presence of microalbuminuria (B = -2.18, p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: eGFR tends to increase with greater degrees of insulin resistance in children and adolescents representing hyperfiltration and is associated with cardiovascular risk factors. Longitudinal studies are needed to determine the natural history of childhood insulin resistance related hyperfiltration in regards to future kidney disease.
