Background  Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a major cause of the development of progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD), while the mechanism is still unknown. LncRNA PVT1 contributes to kidney injury. This study aimed to explore the role of PVT1 in the development of CKD in CHF patients.    Methods  Expression of PVT1 in plasma samples of CHF patients with and without CKD was determined by RT-qPCR. The diagnostic value of plasma PVT1 for CKD was evaluated by ROC curve analysis. The predictive value of PVT1 for the development of CKD in CHF patients was analyzed by a 2-year follow-up study. Changes in PVT1 expression in CKD patients during treatment were analyzed by RT-qPCR and reflected by heatmaps.    Results  Plasma PVT1 was downregulated in CHF and further downregulated in CHF patients complicated with progressive CKD. ROC curve analysis showed that plasma PVT1 levels could be used to distinguish CHF patients complicated with CKD from CHF patients without CKD and healthy controls. During a 2-year follow-up, patients with high CHF levels had a low incidence of progressive CKD among CHF patients. Moreover, with the treatment of progressive CKD, plasma PVT1 was upregulated.    Conclusions  LncRNA-PVT1 downregulation may participate in the development of progressive CKD among patients with CHF.
