Prognostic Value of Cysteine-Rich Protein 61 Combined with N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide for Mortality in Acute Heart Failure Patients with and without Chronic Kidney Disease
2019
BACKGROUND: The ability of most biomarkers, such as N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), to predict prognosis in heart failure can be affected by the state of renal function; therefore, there is the need for a biomarker that can predict prognosis accurately without the influence of renal function. The prognostic value of cysteine-rich protein 61 (CYR61/CCN1) in acute heart failure (AHF) patients has been proven. METHODS: A total of 248 patients hospitalized with AHF were recruited in this study, and serum CCN1 levels, NT-proBNP levels, and other necessary data of patients were collected upon admission. The correlation of serum CCN1 with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was investigated, and the logistic regression model was used to investigate the prognostic value of serum CCN1 for 3-month mortality. RESULTS: Fifty-four of 248 patients died (21.8%) during a 3-month follow-up. Serum CCN1 had no significant correlation with eGFR (rho = -0.088, p = 0.167). In the overall population and patients without chronic kidney disease, results showed that both serum CCN1 and NT-proBNP were significantly associated with 3-month mortality. In patients with chronic kidney disease, serum CCN1 was significantly associated with 3-month mortality in logistic regression analysis (odds ratio = 2.40, p = 0.002) while NT-proBNP was not. Further in tertile group comparison, in patients with chronic kidney disease, higher tertile levels of serum CCN1 had a significantly higher risk of 3-month mortality compared to the lower tertile ones (odds ratio = 4.17, p = 0.013), but that of NT-proBNP did not. CONCLUSION: Serum CCN1 level is not associated with eGFR, and it maintains the prognostic value in AHF patients with chronic kidney disease. CCN1 could be a potential novel prognostic biomarker in AHF patients with chronic kidney disease.
