Particulate matter and albuminuria, glomerular filtration rate, and incident CKD
Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology Mar 07, 2020
Blum MF, Surapaneni A, Stewart JD, et al. - Among participants (n = 10,997) from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities cohort, researchers examined the link between long-term particulate matter (PM)2.5 exposure and kidney disease, including eGFR, level of albuminuria, and incident CKD. Experts estimated monthly mean PM2.5 levels (μg/m3) at geocoded participant addresses and these were then averaged over the 12-month duration preceding participant evaluation. At baseline, no significant PM2.5-eGFR link was identified. In this study, a higher level of albuminuria as well as a higher risk for incident CKD was reported in relation to exposure to higher annual average PM2.5 concentrations in a community-based cohort.
