Proteinuria patterns and their association with subsequent end-stage renal disease in IgA nephropathy.
Nephrology, Dialysis, Transplantation 2002 July
BACKGROUND: Proteinuria (UP) >1.0 g/24 h at diagnosis is a well-known indicator of progressive renal disease in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN). To determine if persistent UP is a more sensitive marker for later progression of IgAN, the hypothesis was tested that the prior level and trend (slope) in UP for 1 year was better at predicting later end-stage renal disease (ESRD) (dialysis or transplant) than a current 24-h UP, serum creatinine (SC), SC slope, hypertension, or total glomerular histopathological score on index renal biopsy in an observational study of 154 high-risk patients enrolled in two clinical trials (IgAN 1, IgAN 2).
METHODS: Measurements of 24-h UP and SC were made at time 0, 6 weeks, 6 months and 1 year in all patients, who were then followed for an additional 5.76 years and 1.63 years in the two studies, respectively. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to identify predictors of ESRD following the 1-year visit.
RESULTS: Adjusting only for randomized treatment, nearly all UP variables (number of high readings, 1-year level, slopes), SC at 1 year, and SC trends (slopes) over the prior year were significantly associated with subsequent ESRD (all P values <0.05) in both studies. However, among the UP variables, the 1-year readings had the strongest association with ESRD in IgAN 1 (hazard ratio (HR), 95% CI, for a 1g increase: 1.5, 1.2,1.9), and the second strongest association (similar to UP trends) in IgAN 2 (1.4, 1.2,1.6). Males had lower rates of ESRD in both studies (IgAN 1 HR: 0.5, 0.2,1.2, P=0.11; IgAN 2 HR: 0.2, 0.1,0.6, P=0.002). In the multivariate analyses that examined all clinical and histological variables, 1-year levels of 24-h UP and SC, and female gender were independently associated with subsequent ESRD.
CONCLUSION: In a high-risk patient with IgAN, the current 24-h UP and SC measurements are as good predictors of subsequent ESRD as UP and SC trends and levels over the prior year. Additionally, it appears that females have poorer outcomes than males.
