Remission of Proteinuria May Protect against Progression to Chronic Kidney Disease in Pediatric-Onset IgA Nephropathy.

ABSTRACT: Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is one of the most common primary glomerulopathies diagnosed in children and adolescents. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical features in and outcomes of pediatric IgAN over the last 30 years. Patients who were diagnosed before age of 18 at 20 centers in Korea were evaluated retrospectively. Of the 1154 patients (768 males, 386 females) with a median follow-up of 5 years, 5.6% (n = 65) progressed to stage 3-5 chronic kidney disease (CKD). The 10- and 20-year CKD-free survival rates were 91.2% and 75.6%, respectively. Outcomes did not differ when comparing those in Korea who were diagnosed prior to versus after the year 2000. On multivariate analysis, combined asymptomatic hematuria and proteinuria as presenting symptoms and decreased renal function at the time of biopsy were associated with progression to CKD, while remission of proteinuria was negatively associated with this outcome. Patients who presented with gross hematuria or nephrotic syndrome tended toward positive outcomes, especially if they ultimately achieved remission. While remission of proteinuria might imply that the disease is inherently less aggressive, it also can be achieved by management. Therefore, more aggressive management might be required for pediatric-onset IgAN.

Project description:ObjectiveWe aimed to explore the relationship between the presence and intensity of glomerular IgG deposition and the occurrence of kidney progression events in IgA nephropathy (IgAN).MethodsThis retrospective study encompassed a total of 1207 patients with IgAN spanning the period from 2010 to 2022, and complete follow-up data were accessible for 736 patients. The IgG intensity was categorized as follows: low-level, defined as IgG (±) and IgG (+), and high-level, defined as IgG (++) and IgG (+++).ResultsWe found that the IgG-positive deposited group (N = 113, 9.36%) had significantly higher levels of ESR, TC, LDL, uric acid, proteinuria, and blood glucose, and lower serum albumin level compared to the IgG-negative deposited group (N = 1094, 90.64%). In terms of pathology, the IgG-positive deposited group had a significantly higher percentage of T2 score compared to the IgG-negative deposited group (p = 0.002). At the end of the follow-up period, the IgG-positive deposited group had a higher eGFR decline (-5.7 ± 4.37 ml/year) compared to the IgG-negative deposited group (-4 ± 2.52 ml/year), however, there was not a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.096). We observed that the high-IgG group had significantly higher level of TG compared to the low-IgG group (p = 0.042). Further analysis revealed that the group of patients with high level of IgG deposition in the kidney experienced a higher incidence of composite kidney outcomes compared to the group with low level of IgG deposition (p = 0.009). Logistic regression analyses showed that high level IgG deposition was an independent risk factor for kidney progression of IgAN (HR 13.419; 95% CI 2.690-66.943, P = 0.029). Further analyses for a solid conclusion using Cox regression that we found high level IgG deposition (HR 115.277; 95% CI 2.299-5.779E3, P = 0.017), eGFR (HR 0.932; 95% CI 0.870-0.999, P = 0.047), and urine protein excretion (HR 1.001; 95% CI 1.000-1.002, P = 0.015) were independent risk factor for kidney progression of IgAN.ConclusionsThe intensity of IgG deposition has been found to be associated with the progression of IgAN. Future prospective studies should provide more robust evidence on the impact of IgG deposition on kidney outcomes in patients with IgAN.
