Methods
 
Objective:

Aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of exogenous growth hormone (GH) administration on a-Klotho concentrations in a clinical cohort with mild chronic kidney disease (CKD) and healthy subjects.


Assessment:

A prospective, single-center open case-control pilot study was performed involving 8 patients with CKD and 8 healthy controls matched for age and sex.
In total, 18 subjects (12 men and 6 women) with or without CKD stage 3 according to the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) were included in the period of January 2015 until March 2016 from the outpatient clinic of nephrology in the VU medical center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
All included subjects received subcutaneous GH injections for 7 consecutive days.

The primary end point is the change in a-Klotho concentrations after 7 days of GH-administration.
Secondary endpoint is the potential difference in change of a-Klotho concentration between patients with CKD and healthy subjects.


Study principles:

Qualitative variables are described with frequencies and level percentages (Column percentages here).
Quantitative variables are described with means and standard deviations, quartiles, minimum/maximum, 95% confidence intervals.

As the parametric tests conditions of validity were not respected:
The association between a quantitative parameter and « Group (GROUP) » item was evaluated with Mann-Whitney(MW) test.
The association between a qualitative parameter and « Group (GROUP) » item was evaluated with Fisher(Fs) exact test.

The analyzes were carried out using logistic and linear mixed regressions.

Warning, at least one selection of observation(s) was made on the initial database.

[Top of page]
After 7 days of GH suppletion therapy (GHST), mean IGF-1 concentrations are significantly higher.
Thus, they go from 26.3 ±2.8 nmol/L to 59.8 ±20.5 nmol/L (OR 1.265, 95% CI 1.040 to 1.539) in the CKD-group and from 27.3 ±6.8 nmol/L to 63.6 ±15.6 nmol/L (OR 1.242, 95% CI 1.222 to 1.262) for healthy controls.
