Ghrelin Levels and Decreased Kidney Function in Patients with Early Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease Against the Background of Obesity
The importance of kidney damage in obese patients is due to the increasing incidence of nephropathies associated with metabolic disorders, their predisposition to a progressive course of the disease, and the need to optimize early disease detection.

Sumario: | The importance of kidney damage in obese patients is due to the increasing incidence of nephropathies associated with metabolic disorders, their predisposition to a progressive course of the disease, and the need to optimize early disease detection. The purpose of our work is to study the level of cystatin C, ghrelin, and their interrelation in patients with early stages (I-II) of chronic kidney disease (CKD) against the background of obesity. The indicators of daily microalbuminuria in patients of both groups were studied, and it was found that in patients with stage 2 CKD with obesity, it was 1.2 times higher than in patients with stage 1 CKD with obesity. Patients of the second group revealed a direct middle correlation between daily albuminuria and body mass index (BMI), which indicates deterioration in the functional state of the kidneys against the background of obesity. We obtained an increase in the serum concentration of cystatin C in stage 2 CKD with obesity, reflecting the state of glomerular filtration and the degree of renal function decrease. Correlation analysis showed a positive relation of cystatin C with increased urinary albumin excretion in both groups, plasma creatinine content, BMI, and age. Simultaneously with the increase in the level of cystatin C and the decrease in the glomerular filtration rate, there was an increase in ghrelin levels in stage 2 CKD and the progression of obesity, while such dependence was not seen in stage 1 CKD. |
