ZAG (zinc-alpha2-glycoprotein) - adipokine, may participate in the mechanism of malnutrition in chronic kidney disease (CKD) as cachexia factor. The transmembrane protein of the endoplasmic reticulum - lipase maturation factor 1 (LMF1) is necessary for the secretion and enzymatic activity of lipases and lowering triglycerides level. The aim of the study was to evaluate these markers - ZAG and LMF1, their potential importance in CKD in children. The study included 59 children and adolescents aged 10.7±5.0 years with CKD. Compared with healthy children, serum and urine ZAG levels were higher in children with CKD. A similar relationship was obtained in the comparison of girls and boys between the above groups. We showed a reduced serum and urine concentration of LMF1 in children with CKD. Additionally, ZAG and LMF1 levels in children below 10 years of age and above 10 were no different. There was also no correlation between these markers and serum creatinine (except negative correlation of urinary ZAG), albumin, cholesterol, triglycerides. LMF1 concentration correlated positively with vitamin D level in dialyzed patients. To conclude, elevated serum ZAG levels in children with CKD document that selective kidney damage results in the rise of ZAG concentration, however the specific role of this marker in malnutrition was not documented. Reduced serum LMF1 concentration in children with CKD, did not correlate with standard parameters used to assess lipid metabolism and severity of CKD. The usefulness of LMF1 as the marker of the lipid metabolism disturbances in children with CKD was not proven.
