Findings that early changes in proteinuria independently predict long-term glomular filtration rate (GFR) decline (Delta GFR) would highlight proteinuria as a major determinant of progression in chronic renal disease.
We investigated whether percent changes (3 months vs. baseline) in proteinuria (adjusted for concomitant changes in GFR) and residual proteinuria at 3 months, predicted Delta GFR [over a median (IQ range) follow up of 31.3 (24.5 to 50.3) months] in 273 patients with proteinuric chronic nephropathies enrolled in the Ramipril Efficacy In Nephropathy (REIN) study.
Short-term changes and residual proteinuria (r = -0.23, P = 0.0001 for both) significantly correlated with Delta GFR and, at multivariate analyses, independently predicted Delta GFR (beta = -0.23, P = 0.0002; beta = -0.21, P = 0.0004, respectively). For comparable levels of residual proteinuria, patients with greater short-term reduction had slower Delta GFR (-0.28 +/- 0.04 mL/min/1.73 m2/ vs. -0.53 +/- 0.07 mL/min/1.73 m2/month, P = 0.04). On ramipril and conventional treatment, specular short-term changes in proteinuria (-18.2 +/- 3.5% vs. 24.2 +/- 6.7%, P < 0.0001, respectively) were associated with significantly different Delta GFRs. However, similar changes in proteinuria resulted in a difference in Delta GFR (ramipril, 0.39 +/- 0.07 mL/min/1.73 m2/month; conventional therapy, 0.74 +/- 0.11 mL/min/1.73 m2/month; P < 0.01) that was sevenfold higher (0.35 vs. 0.05 mL/min/1.73 m2/month) in patients with basal proteinuria > or =3 g/24 hours as compared to those with basal proteinuria 1 to 3 g/24 hours (ramipril, 0.25 +/- 0.06 mL/min/1.73 m2/month; conventional therapy, 0.30 +/- 0.07 mL/min/1.73 m2/month; P = NS).
Regardless of blood pressure control and treatment randomization, short-term changes in proteinuria and residual proteinuria reliably predict long-term disease progression. Reducing proteinuria is renoprotective, particularly in nephrotic patients. As for arterial hypertension, proteinuria should be a specific target for renoprotective treatment.
蛋白尿早期变化能独立预测长期肾小球滤过率(GFR)下降(ΔGFR),这一发现将突出蛋白尿是慢性肾病进展的主要决定因素。
我们在273例蛋白尿性慢性肾病患者中进行了研究,这些患者参加了雷米普利肾病疗效(REIN)研究,观察蛋白尿的百分比变化(3个月时与基线相比,已校正GFR的伴随变化)和3个月时的残余蛋白尿是否能预测ΔGFR[中位(四分位间距)随访时间为31.3(24.5至50.3)个月]。
短期变化和残余蛋白尿(两者r均为-0.23,P均为0.0001)与ΔGFR显著相关,在多变量分析中,它们能独立预测ΔGFR(β分别为-0.23,P = 0.0002;β为-0.21,P = 0.0004)。对于残余蛋白尿水平相当的患者,短期降低幅度更大的患者其ΔGFR较慢(-0.28±0.04 mL/min/1.73 m²/月对-0.53±0.07 mL/min/1.73 m²/月,P = 0.04)。在接受雷米普利和传统治疗时,蛋白尿的明显短期变化(分别为-18.2±3.5%对24.2±6.7%,P < 0.0001)与显著不同的ΔGFR相关。然而,蛋白尿的类似变化导致ΔGFR存在差异(雷米普利组为0.39±0.07 mL/min/1.73 m²/月;传统治疗组为0.74±0.11 mL/min/1.73 m²/月;P < 0.01),基础蛋白尿≥3 g/24小时的患者与基础蛋白尿1至3 g/24小时的患者相比,这种差异高7倍(0.35对0.05 mL/min/1.73 m²/月)(雷米普利组为0.25±0.06 mL/min/1.73 m²/月;传统治疗组为0.30±0.07 mL/min/1.73 m²/月;P = 无显著差异)。
无论血压控制情况和治疗随机分组如何,蛋白尿的短期变化和残余蛋白尿能可靠地预测疾病的长期进展。降低蛋白尿具有肾脏保护作用,尤其在肾病患者中。与动脉高血压一样,蛋白尿应成为肾脏保护治疗的一个特定靶点。
