Effect of Proteinuria and Glomerular Filtration Rate on Renal Outcome in Patients with Biopsy-Proven Benign Nephrosclerosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and proteinuria are risk factors for end-stage renal disease (ESRD), of which benign nephrosclerosis is a common cause. However, few biopsy-based studies have assessed these associations.

Methods

We performed retrospective cohort study of 182 Japanese patients who underwent renal biopsy from June 1985 through March 2014 and who were diagnosed with benign nephrosclerosis. Competing risk regression analyses were used to investigate the effect of eGFR and proteinuria levels at the time of renal biopsy on the risk for renal events (ESRD or a 50% decline in eGFR from baseline).

Results

During a median 5.8-year follow-up, 63 (34.6%) patients experienced renal events. The incidence of renal events increased with lower baseline eGFR and greater baseline proteinuria levels. After adjustment for baseline covariates, lower eGFR levels (subhazard ratios [SHRs], 1.30; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-1.67, per 10 mL/min/1.73 m2) and higher proteinuria levels (SHR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.23-1.87, per 1.0 g/day) at the time of renal biopsy were associated independently with higher risk for renal events. Lower levels of serum albumin (SHR, 2.07; 95% CI, 1.20-3.55 per 1.0 g/dL) were also associated with renal events. Patients with both eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m2 and proteinuria ?0.5 g/day had a 26.7-fold higher risk (95% CI, 3.97-179.4) of renal events than patients with both eGFR ?60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and proteinuria <0.5 g/day.

Conclusions

Reduced eGFR and increased proteinuria as well as lower serum albumin at the time of renal biopsy are independent risk factors for renal events among patients with biopsy-proven benign nephrosclerosis.

Project description:Background and objectivesDyslipidemia, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, is common in CKD but its change over time and how that change is influenced by concurrent progression of CKD have not been previously described.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsIn the CKD in Children study we prospectively followed children with progressive CKD and utilized multivariable, linear mixed-effects models to quantify the longitudinal relationship between within-subject changes in lipid measures (HDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides) and within-subject changes in GFR, proteinuria, and body mass index (BMI).ResultsA total of 508 children (76% nonglomerular CKD, 24% glomerular CKD) had 2-6 lipid measurements each, with a median follow-up time of 4 (interquartile range [IQR], 2.1-6.0) years. Among children with nonglomerular CKD, dyslipidemia was common at baseline (35%) and increased significantly as children aged; 43% of children with glomerular CKD had dyslipidemia at baseline and demonstrated persistent levels as they aged. Longitudinal increases in proteinuria were independently associated with significant concomitant increases in non-HDL cholesterol (nonglomerular: 4.9 [IQR, 3.4-6.4] mg/dl; glomerular: 8.5 [IQR, 6.0-11.1] mg/dl) and triglycerides (nonglomerular: 3% [IQR, 0.8%-6%]; glomerular: 5% [IQR, 0.6%-9%]). Decreases in GFR over follow-up were significantly associated with concomitant decreases of HDL cholesterol in children with nonglomerular CKD (-1.2 mg/dl; IQR, -2.1 to -0.4 mg/dl) and increases of non-HDL cholesterol in children with glomerular CKD (3.9 mg/dl; IQR, 1.4-6.5 mg/dl). The effects of increased BMI also affected multiple lipid changes over time. Collectively, glomerular CKD displayed stronger, deleterious associations between within-subject change in non-HDL cholesterol (9 mg/dl versus 1.2 mg/dl; P<0.001) and triglycerides (14% versus 3%; P=0.004), and within-subject change in BMI; similar but quantitatively smaller differences between the two types of CKD were noted for associations of within-subject change in lipids to within-subject change in GFR and proteinuria.ConclusionsDyslipidemia is a common and persistent complication in children with CKD and it worsens in proportion to declining GFR, worsening proteinuria, and increasing BMI.

Project description:Background: There is still no consensus about the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine-associated glomerular disease (CVAGD). Given the large number of vaccinations administered and the variations in glomerulopathy observed across different countries and regional environments, CVAGD remains an important area of concern. Aim of study: We aimed to elucidate the findings of CVAGD within a Taiwanese cohort using biopsy data. Additionally, we endeavored to clarify the presentation of CVAGD. Methods: We collected data from patients who underwent renal biopsy from June 2021 to October 2022 at Taichung Veterans General Hospital. Two independent nephrologists meticulously reviewed the charts to exclude cases unrelated to vaccination. Results: Initially, a total of 286 patients underwent renal biopsy at our institute. Ultimately, we identified 14 patients with highly suspected CVAGD. All 14 patients exhibited proteinuria and hematuria. The urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio was elevated (median of 2012.1 mg/g; interquartile range (IQR) 25%-IQR 75%: 941.85-3884.1 mg/g) with a median serum creatinine level of 1.71 mg/dL (0.79-5.35). The majority of CVAGD cases were diagnosed as immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy (n = 5, 35.7%), followed by antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-related rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) (n = 4, 28.6%). There were only three cases of minimal change disease each: one case of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, one of membranous glomerulonephritis, and one of lupus nephritis. The culprit of COVID-19 vaccinations was 35.7% (n = 5) of Oxford-AstraZeneca (ChAdOx1-S), 42.9% (n = 6) of Moderna, and 21.4% (n = 3) of BNT162b2. Most patients experienced improvements in renal function. Only two cases of P-ANCA RPGN and one case of IgA nephropathy did not recover. Eighty percent of IgA nephropathy cases had favorable outcomes, but none of the patients with P-ANCA RPGN achieved full recovery. Conclusions: IgA nephropathy and ANCA-related RPGN were the most common CVAGD, and all types of COVID-19 vaccines posed a risk for CVAGD. However, further studies are required to confirm causality.
