Serum PRO‐C3 is useful for risk prediction and fibrosis assessment in MAFLD with chronic kidney disease in an Asian cohort
Background Metabolic dysfunction‐associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is an emerging risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD). N‐terminal propeptide of collagen type 3 (PRO‐C3) is a biomarker of advanced fibrosis in MAFLD and PRO‐C3 may be involved in renal fibrosis. We aimed to use PRO‐C3 mea...

Summary: | Background
Metabolic dysfunction‐associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is an emerging risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD). N‐terminal propeptide of collagen type 3 (PRO‐C3) is a biomarker of advanced fibrosis in MAFLD and PRO‐C3 may be involved in renal fibrosis. We aimed to use PRO‐C3 measurements to generate a new algorithmic score to test the prediction of MAFLD with chronic kidney disease (MAFLD–CKD).
Methods
A derivation and independent validation cohort of 750 and 129 Asian patients with biopsy‐confirmed MAFLD were included. Serum PRO‐C3 concentration was measured and regression analyses were performed to examine associations with MAFLD–CKD. A derivative algorithm for MAFLD–CKD risk prediction was evaluated with receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.
Results
The study included two Asian cohorts (n = 180 with MAFLD–CKD; mean‐eGFR: 94.93 mL/min/1.73 m2; median‐urinary albumin‐to‐creatinine ratio: 6.58 mg/mmol). PRO‐C3 was associated with the severity of MAFLD‐CKD and independently associated with MAFLD–CKD (adjusted odds ratio = 1.16, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.08–1.23, p |
