요비중 또는 크레아티닌 보정에 따른 요중 카드뮴과 신장손상지표와의 관련성 비교 Differences in Urine Cadmium Associations with Renal Damage Markers According to the Adjustment with Specific Gravity or Urinary Creatinine원문보기
일반적으로 요중 카드뮴 농도는 요비중 또는 요중 크레아티닌 농도로 보정한 값을 사용해왔다. 그러나 어떤 보정방법이 더 타당한지에 대한 논란은 계속되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비교적 큰 규모의 일반인구집단을 대상으로 요중 카드뮴농도와 각종 신장손상지표들과의 관련성을 평가함에 있어 요비중 보정 방법과 요중 크레아티닌 보정 방법 중 어느 방법이 더 타당한지 비교 평가하였다. 1,086명의 자원자 중 신장질환의 질병력이 있는 사람을 제외한 862명이 최종적으로 연구대상에 포함되었다. 대상자들로부터 측정한 요중 카드뮴 농도 및 malondialdehyde (MDA), N-acetyl-${\beta}$-D-glucosaminidase 농도, 혈중 크레아티닌을 이용하여 산출한 사구체여과율 등의 신장손상지표들간의 관련성을 평가하였다. 연구 결과, 요중 크레아티닌 농도보다는 요비중으로 보정한 카드뮴 농도가 각종 신장손상지표와 높은 상관성이 있음을 보여주었다. 특히, 요비중 보정 카드뮴 농도는 요중 MDA 농도와 양의 상관관계를, 사구체여과율과는 음의 상관관계를 보여주었다. 이러한 결과는 일반인구집단에서 카드뮴 노출이 많아질수록 사구체여과율이 감소함을 의미하며 이러한 기전에서 산화적스트레스가 관여하고 있음을 보여준다. 또한, 사구체여과율이 카드뮴 노출에 의한 유용한 신장손상지표 중 하나로 사용될 수 있음을 의미한다.

In general, specific gravity (SG) and urinary creatinine (CR) have been used to adjust urinary cadmium (Cd) concentrations. However, the validity of correction methods has been controversial. We compared the two adjustments to evaluate associations between urinary Cd and various renal damage markers and to evaluate the relationship between urinary Cd concentration and renal disease markers, such as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), in a relatively large general population sample. Among the 1,086 volunteers who were enrolled in this study, 862 healthy volunteers who did not have kidney disease were included in the final analysis. Urinary Cd, malondialdehyde (MDA), and N-acetyl-${\beta}$-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) concentrations were measured, the creatinine-based eGFR was calculated, and the relationships between these markers were subsequently analyzed. This study showed the use of urinary Cd concentration adjusted with SG rather than with urinary creatinine may be appropriate in studies evaluating renal function based on Cd exposure. Urinary Cd concentration adjusted with SG had a positive correlation with urinary MDA levels and a negative correlation with eGFR. This relationship was relatively stronger in women than in men. This study showed that urinary Cd level was associated with decreased eGFR in the general population, and oxidative stress was likely to act as an intermediator in this process. These results suggest that eGFR can be a very good indicator of kidney damage caused by Cd exposure in the general population.

제안 방법
Specific gravity (SG) of urine is an alternative method even it is not widely used. In this study, we evaluated the association between urinary Cd exposure and several renal damage markers including eGFR in general population, and compared SG and CR correction method on their relationships.
The subjects were divided into two groups according to the median of urinary Cd concentration (<1.59 μ g/l, low group or >1.59 μ g/l, high group).
대상 데이터
Blood and urine samples were collected and stored at -80℃ until analysis. A total of 1,086 people (456 males and 630 females) were enrolled in the study. Among them, 224 persons with diabetes or other renal diseases were excluded and 862 persons (368 males, 494 females) were finally analyzed.

The subjects of this study were healthy people over 30 years old residing in Seocheon-gun, Chungcheongnam-do. Some of them lived near the Janghang smelter, which was established in 1936 in the town of Janghang and smelted copper (Cu), lead (Pb), and tin (Sn) until 1989.
데이터처리
Statistical comparisons of means were performed using Student’s t-tests, and Pearson correlation coefficients were used to evaluate the relationship between variables.
이론/모형
The serum creatinine level was determined by the Jaffe method to estimate the GFR. The estimated GFR (eGFR) was calculated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula [eGFR = 175× serum creatinine-1.
The fluorescence intensities of the samples and the NAG standard solution were measured at 580 nm using a spectrophotometer. Urinary NAG activity was corrected using the urinary creatinine concentration, which was determined by the modified Jaffe reaction method.
성능/효과
In conclusion, this study showed that urinary Cd level is associated with decreased GFR in the general population, and oxidative stress is likely to act as an intermediator in this process. These results suggest that eGFR can be a very good indicator of kidney damage caused by Cd exposure in general population.
The eGFR values had a significant correlation with urinary SG adjusted MDA and SG adjusted NAG level of R = -0.775(p<0.001) and R = 0.440 (p<0.001), respectively, suggesting that eGFR can be a good indicator of renal tubular injury and oxidative stress induced by Cd exposure.
The urinary SG adjusted Cd concentration showed a high correlation with urinary SG adjusted MDA level (R=0.678, p<0.001) and urinary SG adjusted NAG activity (R=0.485, p<0.001).
후속연구
These results suggest that eGFR can be a very good indicator of kidney damage caused by Cd exposure in general population. Furthermore, this study suggests that the use of urinary Cd concentrationadjusted with SG rather than the CR adjusted value may be appropriate in studies evaluating renal function based on Cd exposure.
