Over approximately 10 years, age- and gender-adjusted incidence of ESRD was 0.5, 7.1, 12.1, and 62.5 per 1,000 person-years for American Indian participants with no CKD, CKD stage 1, stage 2, and stages 3-5, respectively.
In the same time period, incidence was 0.7, 4.4, and 54.5 per 1,000 person-years, after adjustment for age and gender, for those no albuminuria, microalbuminuria, and macroalbuminuria at baseline, respectively.
Chart Explanation: Age- and gender-adjusted incidence of end-stage renal disease was high in this cohort. By the third exam, the rate was 0.5 per 1,000 person-years for those with no evidence of CKD at baseline, compared to 7.1, 12.7, and 62.5 per 1,000 person-years for those with CKD stage 1, stage 2, and stages 3-5, respectively. For those without albuminuria, the rate was 0.7 per 1,000 person-years, versus 4.4 and 54.5 for those with micro- and macroalbuminuria, respectively.
The Strong Heart Study consisted of several components and three study exams (baseline, 1989-1992; second exam, 1993-1995; and third exam, 1998-1999), followed by morbidity and mortality surveillance of 4,500 tribal participants. Strong Heart enrolled men and women aged 45-74 at baseline from 13 American Indian tribes/communities in Arizona, Oklahoma, and the Dakotas. A total of 3,705 Strong Heart participants had both baseline information on both kidney function (eGFR) and albuminuria (albumin:creatinine ratio) and information on treated ESRD status at the third exam, ascertained through USRDS records. Incidence was adjusted for age and gender.
