چکیده
Objective Whether serum bilirubin and cigarette smoking affect the risk of renal function decline remains inconclusive. We aimed to test the independent and combined effects of bilirubin and cigarette smoking on the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in hypertensive adults. Methods The study population consisted of 12,633 patients in the renal sub-study of the China Stroke Primary Prevention Trial. The primary outcome was progression of CKD, defined as a decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of ≥30% and to a level of <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 if baseline eGFR was ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2, or a decrease in eGFR of ≥50% if baseline eGFR was <60 mL/min/1.73 m2, or end-stage renal disease. The secondary outcomes included 1) rapid decline in renal function and 2) annual rate of eGFR decline. Results The median follow-up duration was 4.4 years. Cigarette smoking had no significant effect on the progression of CKD (odds ratio [OR]: 1.11, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 0.78-1.57). However, a significantly lower risk of the primary event (OR: 0.72, 95% CI: 0.55-0.95) was found in participants in tertile 3 compared to those in tertiles 1-2 for total bilirubin (TBiL) levels. More importantly, there was an interaction between TBiL and smoking status on the primary outcome (P for interaction =0.013). Among ever smokers, TBiL levels had no significant effect on the primary outcome. However, among never smokers, higher TBiL levels were significantly associated with a lower risk of the primary outcome (tertile 3 vs 1-2; OR: 0.53, 95% CI: 0.36-0.78). Similar trends were observed for direct bilirubin and secondary outcomes. Conclusion Among hypertensive patients, bilirubin was inversely associated with the progression of CKD in never smokers, but not in ever smokers.
