Coeliac disease (CD) may be a risk factor for renal disease.
We investigated the risk of any form of glomerulonephritis (GN) (acute, chronic and non-specified), chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) and renal replacement therapy including dialysis treatment and kidney transplantation (KT) in patients with CD in a general population-based cohort study. We used Cox regression to assess the risk of renal disease in 14,336 patients who had received a diagnosis of CD (1964-2003) and 69,875 reference individuals matched for age, calendar year, sex and county. Patients were identified using the Swedish Hospital Discharge Registry. Follow-up began 1 year after study entry.
CD was associated with an increased risk of any form of GN (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.64; 95% confidence intervals (CI) = 1.01-2.66; P = 0.046; 89 events), CGN (HR = 2.65; 95% CI = 1.34-5.24; P = 0.005; 39 events), dialysis (HR = 3.48; 95% CI = 2.26-5.37; P < 0.001; 102 positive events) and KT (HR = 3.15; 95% CI = 1.29-7.71; P = 0.012; 22 events).
We suggest that immune characteristics associated with CD increase the risk of chronic renal disease. Individuals with CD may also be at a moderately increased risk of any form of GN.
乳糜泻(CD)可能是肾脏疾病的一个风险因素。
在一项基于普通人群的队列研究中,我们调查了CD患者发生任何形式的肾小球肾炎(GN)(急性、慢性和未明确类型)、慢性肾小球肾炎(CGN)以及包括透析治疗和肾移植(KT)在内的肾脏替代治疗的风险。我们使用Cox回归分析,评估了14336例已确诊为CD的患者(1964 - 2003年)以及69875例按年龄、日历年、性别和郡县匹配的对照个体发生肾脏疾病的风险。患者通过瑞典医院出院登记系统进行识别。随访从研究入组后1年开始。
CD与任何形式的GN风险增加相关(风险比(HR)= 1.64;95%置信区间(CI)= 1.01 - 2.66;P = 0.046;89例事件)、CGN(HR = 2.65;95% CI = 1.34 - 5.24;P = 0.005;39例事件)、透析(HR = 3.48;95% CI = 2.26 - 5.37;P < 0.001;102例阳性事件)和KT(HR = 3.15;95% CI = 1.29 - 7.71;P = 0.012;22例事件)。
我们认为与CD相关的免疫特征会增加慢性肾脏疾病的风险。CD患者发生任何形式GN的风险也可能适度增加。
