Clinicopathological characteristics and associated factors of idiopathic membranous nephropathy with hyperuricemia: a single-centered cross-sectional study.

PURPOSE: This study was designed to investigate the clinicopathological features of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) with hyperuricemia (HUA), together with associated factors within 10 years in a single centre in Shandong Province.

METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we analysed the clinical and pathological data of 694 IMN patients in our hospital from January 2010 to December 2019. Based on serum uric acid (UA) level, the patients were divided into hyperuricemia (HUA) group (n = 213) and normal serum uric acid (NUA) group (n = 481). Multi-variate logistic regression analysis was conducted on to screen the associated factors of HUA.

RESULTS: 213 (30.69%) IMN patient were complicated with HUA. Compared with the patients with NUA, significant increase was noticed in the proportion of patients showing edema, concurrent hypertensive disease or diabetes mellitus (DM), as well as the proportion of positive glomerular capillary loop IgM and positive C1q in the HUA group (P < 0.05). In addition, significant increase was noticed in the 24 h urine protein, serum creatinine, triglycerides, complement C3 and complement C4 in HUA group compared with those of NUA group (all P < 0.05). With gender as a control factor, multi-variate logistic regression analysis showed positive glomerular capillary loops C1q, serum albumin, serum phosphorus were associated with IMN combined with HUA in male, while triglycerides and serum creatinine were associated with IMN combined with HUA in female counterparts.

CONCLUSION: About 30.69% of IMN patients had HUA, with a male predominance than female. In male patients with IMN, higher serum albumin level and serum phosphorus level were associated with higher incidence of HUA, while in female IMN patients, higher serum triglyceridemia and serum creatinine level were associated with higher incidence of HUA. Therefore, it can be targeted to prevent the occurrence of HUA in IMN.
