Primary sclerosing cholangitis causally affects kidney function decline : A Mendelian randomization study

© 2023 Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Foundation and John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd..

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The causal linkage between primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and kidney function is unexplored despite their potential for long-term detrimental effects on kidney function.

METHODS: Two-sample summary-level Mendelian randomization (MR) study was conducted to identify the association between PSC and kidney function. The genetic variants were extracted from the PSC-specific multi-trait analyzed genome-wide association study (GWAS) of European ancestry. Summary-level data for kidney function traits, including estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), annual eGFR decline, and chronic kidney disease (CKD), were obtained from the CKDGen consortium. Multiplicative random-effects inverse-variance weighted (MR-IVW), and a series of pleiotropy-robust analyses were performed to investigate the causal effects and ascertain their robustness.

RESULTS: Significant causal associations between genetically predicted PSC and kidney function traits were identified. Genetically predicted PSC was associated with decreased log-transformed eGFR (MR-IVW; beta = -0.41%; standard error [SE] = 0.02%; P < 0.001), increased rate of annual eGFR decline (MR-IVW; beta = 2.43%; SE = 0.18%; P < 0.001), and higher risk of CKD (MR-IVW; odds ratio = 1.07; 95% confidence interval = 1.06-1.08; P < 0.001). The main findings were supported by pleiotropy-robust analysis, including MR-Egger with bootstrapped error and weighted median.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates that genetically predicted PSC is causally associated with kidney function impairment. Further studies are warranted to identify the underlying mechanisms.
