Abstract
BACKGROUND: Depression and chronic kidney disease (CKD) often coexist. However, both the relations of depression with CKD development and CKD with depression risk were still elusive. We aimed to investigate the bidirectional relations between renal function and depression in a cohort of young and middle-aged adults. METHODS: Using data from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study, the analysis of depressive symptoms and incident CKD (analysis 1) was performed in 3,731 participants without CKD, and the analysis of renal function and incident depression (analysis 2) was performed in 2,994 participants without depression. Depressive symptoms were measured using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (-CES-D), and depression was defined as CES-D scores ≥16 or self-reported history of depression or antidepressant medication use. CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/min/1.73 m2 or urinary albumin to creatinine ratio ≥30 mg/g. RESULTS: In analysis 1, 485 participants developed incident CKD during 61,202 person-years of follow-up, and CES-D scores (≥16 vs. <16; adjusted HR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.59) were significant positive associated with incident CKD. In analysis 2, 1,029 participants developed incident depression during 42,927 person-years of follow-up, and CKD was significantly associated with a 36% increased risk of incident depression compared to non-CKD (HR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.76). LIMITATIONS: Depressive symptoms were only assessed using CES-D score, which is not the gold standard for the clinical diagnosis of depression. CONCLUSIONS: This prospective cohort study monitored over 20 years indicated a bidirectional association between depression and CKD.
