Abstract
Background This cohort study investigates the association between insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1), bone mineral density, and frailty phenotype in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods Forty-six patients (median age 14.5 years) were prospectively enrolled. Frailty phenotype was defined as the presence ≥ 3 of the following indicators: suboptimal growth/weight gain (body mass index height age < 5th percentile or height < 3rd percentile or loss of ≥ 10 percentiles/year in at least one parameter), low muscle mass (lean tissue mass height age < 5th percentile or loss of ≥ 10 percentiles/year), general fatigue reported by parent or child, and C-reactive protein > 3 mg/l. Lumbar bone mineral apparent density (LBMAD) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, body composition by bioimpedance spectroscopy, and IGF-1 by enzyme-labeled chemiluminescent immunometric assay. Results Frailty phenotype (seven patients) was more frequent in advanced CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 ml/min/1.73m2) (p = 0.014). IGF-1 and LBMAD z-scores were lower in patients with suboptimal growth/weight gain (14 patients) (p = 0.013, p = 0.012), low muscle mass (nine patients) (p = 0.001, p = 0.009), and general fatigue (eight patients) (p < 0.001, p = 0.004). IFG-1 and LBMAD z-scores were associated with frailty phenotype (OR 0.109, 95% CI 0.015–0.798 and OR 0.277, 95% CI 0.085–0.903) after adjustment for CKD stage. IGF-1 z-score was associated with LBMAD < 5th percentile (six patients) (OR 0.020, 95% CI 0.001–0.450) after adjustment for CKD stage. The association between LBMAD and frailty phenotype lost significance after adjustment for IGF-1. Conclusion Frailty phenotype is more frequent in advanced pediatric CKD. IGF-1 is negatively associated with frailty phenotype and interferes in the association between frailty and LBMAD.Keywords
