초록 Objectives: Clinical significance of dehydration on chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not been fully evaluated, particularly in large community-dwelling population. Methods: We used data from 28,342 adult participants of Korean National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey. Systemic dehydration was evaluated using blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio (BUN/Cr) and kidney function was calculated using creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The association between BUN/Cr and eGFR was analyzed using multivariate linear regression analysis, and the potential non-linearity and threshold evaluation was performed using a generalized additive model (GAM). The relationship between BUN/Cr and CKD was evaluated using multivariate logistic regression analysis, and the potential non-linear association was analyzed using penalized spline curve analysis. Results: Of the total 28342 participants, mean BUN/Cr was 18.0 and mean eGFR was 94.6 ml/min/1.73 m2. In multivariate linear regression analysis, eGFR significantly increased as BUN/Cr increased. Using GAM analysis, eGFR was steadily increased without definite threshold with the increase of BUN/Cr. The odds of CKD were increased with the decrease of BUN/Cr quartile; odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of 3Q, 2Q, and 1Q compared to 4Q of BUN/Cr were 2.264 (1.179-2.880, P <0.001), 2.910(2.270-3.729, P <0.001), and 5.552 (4.309-7.154, P <0.001), respectively. In visual inspection in penalized spline curve analysis, the OR for CKD was abruptly increased below 10 of BUN/Cr. Conclusions: As BUN/Cr increased, eGFR significantly increased. Similarly, the odds for CKD was significantly increased as BUN/Cr decreased, suggesting potential positive impact of dehydration on kidney function. Future studies need to confirm our cross-sectional results. Table 1,2 and 3
