Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This work aimed to study whether fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is predictive for incident posttransplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs).
METHODS: We repeatedly analyzed plasma C-terminal FGF23 concentrations in 170 KTRs enrolled in the TransplantLines Biobank and Cohort Study. Associations of time-updated plasma FGF23 with incident PTDM were studied by Cox regression.
RESULTS: A total of 170 KTRs (46% female, aged 54.4 ± 12.4 years) with 540 FGF23 measurements were included. Plasma FGF23 concentrations at transplantation were 31.1 (0.76-2576) pmol/L. During a follow-up of 24 (12-24) months, 38 patients developed PTDM. The highest FGF23 tertile (compared to the lowest) was associated with an increased risk for PTDM (fully adjusted hazard ratio 20.9; 95% CI, 3.4-130.0; P < .001).
CONCLUSION: In KTRs without diabetes at baseline, the highest tertile of FGF23, compared to the lowest, is predictive for development of PTDM.
