OBJECTIVE: We investigated the association of oral iron replacement with the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a population with normal kidney function to study the effects of iron replacement on the development of new onset CKD.

METHODS: In a national cohort of US Veterans with no pre-existing CKD, we identified 33 894 incident new users of oral iron replacement and a comparable group of 112 780 patients who did not receive any iron replacement during 2004-2018. We examined the association of oral iron replacement versus no iron replacement with the incidence of eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and the incidence of urine albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) ≥30 mg/g in competing risk regressions and in Cox models. We used propensity score weighing to account for differences in key baseline characteristics associated with the use of oral iron replacement.

RESULTS: In the cohort of 146 674 patients, a total of 18 547 (13%) patients experienced incident eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 , and 16 117 patients (11%) experienced new onset UACR ≥30 mg/g. Oral iron replacement was associated with significantly higher risk of incident eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (subhazard ratio, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.3 [1.22-1.38], p < .001) and incident albuminuria (subhazard ratio, 95% CI: 1.14 [1.07-1.22], p < .001).

CONCLUSION: Oral iron replacement is associated with higher risk of new onset CKD. The long-term kidney safety of oral iron replacement should be tested in clinical trials.
