Background: In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), there is an overproduction and accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). Since AGEs may have detrimental effects on muscular trophism and performance, we evaluated whether they may contribute to the onset of sarcopenia in CKD patients. Methods: We enrolled 117 patients. The AGEs were quantified by fluorescence intensity using a fluorescence spectrophotometer and soluble receptor for AGE (sRAGE) isoforms by ELISA. As for the sarcopenia definition, we used the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) criteria. Results: The average age was 80 ± 11 years, 70% were males, and the mean eGFR was 25 + 11 mL/min/1.73 m2. Sarcopenia was diagnosed in 26 patients (with a prevalence of 22%). The sarcopenic patients had higher levels of circulating AGEs (3405 ± 951 vs. 2912 ± 722 A.U., p = 0.005). AGEs were higher in subjects with a lower midarm muscle circumference (MAMC) (3322 ± 919 vs. 2883 ± 700 A.U., respectively; p = 0.005) and were directly correlated with the gait test time (r = 0.180, p = 0.049). The total sRAGE and its different isoforms (esRAGE and cRAGE) did not differ in patients with or without sarcopenia. Conclusions: In older CKD patients, AGEs, but not sRAGE, are associated with the presence of sarcopenia. There-fore, AGEs may contribute to the complex pathophysiology leading to the development of sarcope-nia in CKD patients.

Abstract

Background: In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), there is an overproduction and accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). Since AGEs may have detrimental effects on muscular trophism and performance, we evaluated whether they may contribute to the onset of sarcopenia in CKD patients. Methods: We enrolled 117 patients. The AGEs were quantified by fluorescence intensity using a fluorescence spectrophotometer and soluble receptor for AGE (sRAGE) isoforms by ELISA. As for the sarcopenia definition, we used the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) criteria. Results: The average age was 80 ± 11 years, 70% were males, and the mean eGFR was 25 + 11 mL/min/1.73 m2. Sarcopenia was diagnosed in 26 patients (with a prevalence of 22%). The sarcopenic patients had higher levels of circulating AGEs (3405 ± 951 vs. 2912 ± 722 A.U., p = 0.005). AGEs were higher in subjects with a lower midarm muscle circumference (MAMC) (3322 ± 919 vs. 2883 ± 700 A.U., respectively; p = 0.005) and were directly correlated with the gait test time (r = 0.180, p = 0.049). The total sRAGE and its different isoforms (esRAGE and cRAGE) did not differ in patients with or without sarcopenia. Conclusions: In older CKD patients, AGEs, but not sRAGE, are associated with the presence of sarcopenia. There-fore, AGEs may contribute to the complex pathophysiology leading to the development of sarcope-nia in CKD patients.
