Potential Blood Pressure Goals in IgA Nephropathy: Prevalence, Awareness, and Treatment Rates in Chronic Kidney Disease Among Patients with Hypertension in China (PATRIOTIC) Study.
BACKGROUND/AIMS: IgA nephropathy is the most prevalent form of primary glomerulonephritis worldwide. Among patients with kidney disease, hypertension is one of the most important risk factors of disease progression. Considering the limited evidence regarding the appropriate blood pressure (BP) goal for patients with IgA nephropathy, our aim was to critically appraise the potential BP goal in IgA nephropathy.
METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of the BP data from 1055 patients with IgA nephropathy, extracted from the database of a nationwide, multi-center, cross-sectional study, including 61 tertiary hospitals in China. Hypertension was defined by a BP ≥140/90 mmHg. Three BP cutoff levels were evaluated as control values: < 140/90 mmHg, < 130/80 mmHg and < 125/75 mmHg. The primary outcome of our study was the prevalence of BP control among patients with a 24-h proteinuria < 1 g/d or ≥ 1 g/d. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify demographic and clinical factors associated with a decrease in renal function for the different target levels of BP.
RESULTS: The overall prevalence of hypertension was 63.3%. BP was controlled under 140/90 mmHg in 49.1% of patients, with 34.3% of patients with proteinuria < 1 g/d reaching the target BP < 130/80 mmHg and only 12.9% of patients with proteinuria > 1 g/d achieving a BP < 125/75 mmHg. Among patients with proteinuria < 1 g/d, the adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of a decrease in renal function, for the 3 target BP levels, were as follows (P > 0.05): < 140/90 mmHg, 0.9 (0.5 - 1.6); < 130/80 mmHg, 1.0 (0.5 - 1.8); and < 125/75 mmHg, 1.0 (0.5 - 2.0). With proteinuria ≥1 g/d, the adjusted ORs (95%CI) of attaining the BP targets of < 140/90 mmHg, < 130/80 mmHg and < 125/75 mmHg were 0.4 (0.2 - 0.6), 0.2 (0.1 - 0.4) and 0.3 (0.1 - 0.5), respectively (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Hypertension was common in IgA nephropathy and hypertensive control was suboptimal. Our result supports a benefit of intensive control of BP < 130/80 mmHg for patients with proteinuria ≥1 g/d. However, in patients with proteinuria < 1 g/d, a renoprotective effect of this BP goal was not identified.
