Prediction model of renal function recovery for primary membranous nephropathy with acute kidney injury.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

The clinical and pathological impact factors for renal function recovery in acute kidney injury (AKI) on the progression of renal function in primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) with AKI patients have not yet been reported, we sought to investigate the factors that may influence renal function recovery and develop a nomogram model for predicting renal function recovery in PMN with AKI patients.

Methods

Two PMN with AKI cohorts from the Nephrology Department, the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University during 2012-2018 and 2019-2020 were included, i.e., a derivation cohort during 2012-2018 and a validation cohort during 2019-2020. Clinical characteristics and renal pathological features were obtained. The outcome measurement was the recovery of renal function within 12 months. Lasso regression was used for clinical and pathological features selection. Prediction model was built and nomogram was plotted. Model evaluations including calibration curves were performed.

Result

Renal function recovery was found in 72 of 124 (58.1%) patients and 41 of 72 (56.9%) patients in the derivation and validation cohorts, respectively. The prognostic nomogram model included determinants of sex, age, the comorbidity of hypertensive nephropathy, the stage of glomerular basement membrane and diuretic treatment with a reasonable concordance index of 0.773 (95%CI,0.716-0.830) in the derivation cohort and 0.773 (95%CI, 0.693-0.853) in the validation cohort. Diuretic use was a significant impact factor with decrease of renal function recovery in PMN with AKI patients.

Conclusion

The predictive nomogram model provides useful prognostic tool for renal function recovery in PMN patients with AKI.

Project description:Background and objectivesLoss of renal function in patients with primary membranous nephropathy cannot be reliably predicted by laboratory or clinical markers at the time of diagnosis. M-type phospholipase A2 receptor autoantibodies have been shown to be associated with changes in proteinuria. Their eventual effect on renal function, however, is unclear.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsIn this prospective, open, multicenter study, the potential role of M-type phospholipase A2 receptor autoantibodies levels on the increase of serum creatinine in 118 consecutive patients with membranous nephropathy and positivity for serum M-type phospholipase A2 receptor autoantibodies was analyzed. Patients were included in the study between April of 2010 and December of 2012 and observed until December of 2013. The clinical end point was defined as an increase of serum creatinine by ≥ 25% and serum creatinine reaching ≥ 1.3 mg/dl.ResultsPatients were divided into tertiles according to their M-type phospholipase A2 receptor autoantibody levels at the time of inclusion in the study: tertile 1 levels=20-86 units/ml (low), tertile 2 levels=87-201 units/ml (medium), and tertile 3 levels ≥ 202 units/ml (high). The median follow-up time of all patients in the study was 27 months (interquartile range=18-33 months). The clinical end point was reached in 69% of patients with high M-type phospholipase A2 receptor autoantibodies levels (tertile 3) but only 25% of patients with low M-type phospholipase A2 receptor autoantibodies levels. The average time to reach the study end point was 17.7 months in patients with high M-type phospholipase A2 receptor autoantibodies levels and 30.9 months in patients with low M-type phospholipase A2 receptor autoantibodies levels. A multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that high M-type phospholipase A2 receptor autoantibodies levels-in addition to men and older age-are an independent predictor for progressive loss of renal function.ConclusionsHigh M-type phospholipase A2 receptor autoantibodies levels were associated with more rapid loss of renal function in this cohort of patients with primary membranous nephropathy and therefore, could be helpful for treatment decisions.
