Our objective was to explore the potential link between systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Methods

The data used in this study came from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), which gathers data between 1999 and 2020. CKD was diagnosed based on the low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or albuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) of more than 30 mg/g). Using generalized additive models and weighted multivariable logistic regression, the independent relationships between SIRI and other inflammatory biomarkers (systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), monocyte/high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR), neutrophil/high-density lipoprotein ratio (NHR), platelet/high-density lipoprotein ratio (PHR), and lymphocyte/high-density lipoprotein ratio (LHR)) with CKD, albuminuria, and low-eGFR were examined.

Results

Among the recruited 41,089 participants, males accounted for 49.77% of the total. Low-eGFR, albuminuria, and CKD were prevalent in 8.30%, 12.16%, and 17.68% of people, respectively. SIRI and CKD were shown to be positively correlated in the study (OR = 1.24; 95% CI: 1.19, 1.30). Furthermore, a nonlinear correlation was discovered between SIRI and CKD. SIRI and CKD are both positively correlated on the two sides of the breakpoint (SIRI = 2.04). Moreover, increased SIRI levels were associated with greater prevalences of low-eGFR and albuminuria (albuminuria: OR = 1.27; 95% CI: 1.21, 1.32; low-eGFR: OR = 1.11; 95% CI: 1.05, 1.18). ROC analysis demonstrated that, compared to other inflammatory indices (SII, NHR, LHR, MHR, and PHR), SIRI exhibited superior discriminative ability and accuracy in predicting CKD, albuminuria, and low-eGFR.

Discussion

When predicting CKD, albuminuria, and low-eGFR, SIRI may show up as a superior inflammatory biomarker when compared to other inflammatory biomarkers (SII, NHR, LHR, MHR, and PHR). American adults with elevated levels of SIRI, SII, NHR, MHR, and PHR should be attentive to the potential risks to their kidney health.
