초록 Exposure to environmental pollutants (i.e., heavy metals and melamine) has been revealed to damage kidney function. Recently, endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) such as phthalates and bisphenol A have been also suggested as risk factors for chronic kidney diseases (CKD). So far, however, most studies have associated a limited number of urinary chemicals with CKD. In this study, employing Korean female population aged 20-45 years (n=441), potential chemical determinants of the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) were identified among multiple urinary EDCs. The creatinine-adjusted concentration of each chemical in urine was associated with ACR in a linear model adjusted for relevant covariates (single-pollutant model). Then, chemicals with a significant positive association with ACR in the single-pollutant model were included in a multi-pollutant model to evaluate their association with ACR. As a sensitivity analysis, quartile analyses were performed for the subpopulation with normal kidney function (ACR < 9.71 mg/g) to prevent potential reverse causality due to kidney dysfunction. The analyses were replicated with the specific-gravity-adjusted urinary concentrations of the compounds. In the single-pollutants model, several urinary compounds were significantly associated with ACR. However, in the multi-pollutant model, significant positive associations were observed only for monobutyl phthalate (MBP) and benzophenone-1 (BP-1), which are urinary metabolites of dibutyl phthalate and benzophenone-3, respectively. The significance of the association of these compounds remained as well among the subpopulation with healthy renal function (ACR < 9.71 mg/g) and/or with a different adjustment of urine dilution. Among the multiple urinary chemicals, MBP and BP-1 consistently and strongly associated with urinary ACR. The observation of this study warrants confirmation in other populations and experimental studies.
