Abstract Background  The association between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and chronic kidney disease remains controversial and long-term longitudinal studies are limited. We aim to investigate the impact of single and persistent elevation of hs-CRP on kidney outcomes. Methods  Our study was based on a subgroup of patients with hyperglycemia from the Kailuan cohort. Patients were divided into three groups according to two consecutive hs-CRP levels: (1) no elevation (twice hs-CRP  5 mmHg, then the third measurement was conducted and the average of the three readings was used. Serum samples were collected in the morning after an overnight fast and serum creatinine, FBG, lipid profile (including total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) were tested using a Hitachi 7600 auto-analyzer (Hitachi; Tokyo, Japan). Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using the two-race CKD Epidemiological Collaboration equation [17]. A single mid-stream morning urine sample was collected from each participant. Urine protein concentration was assessed by dry chemistry method

with the test assay of H12-MA (Changchun Dirui Medical Technology Co., Ltd. Changchun, China). All the urine samples were measured using a urine analyzer (N-600, Dirui, Changchun, China) at the central laboratory of the Kailuan Hospital. The levels of the semi-quantitative dipstick test were recorded as negative, trace, 1 +, 2 +, or 3 +. We further defined micro-proteinuria as urine dipstick reading trace or 1 + and overt-proteinuria as urine dipstick reading ≥ 2 + [18].
