Classification of patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis (ANCA-GN) into histological classes is useful for predicting a patient's risk of progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, even in the worst prognostic group, the 5-year end-stage renal disease-free survival rate is as high as 50%.
To investigate those prognostic factors indicative of progression to ESRD in patients with ANCA-GN and sclerosing histology.
Patients from the Norwegian Kidney Biopsy Registry between 1991 and 2012 who had biopsy verified pauci-immune glomerulonephritis, positive ANCA serology, and sclerosing histology were included. Cases with ESRD during follow-up were identified via linkage with the Norwegian Renal Registry. Potential prognostic factors with relevant cut-offs were compared in patients with and without progression to ESRD during follow-up.
Of 23 included patients, 10 progressed to ESRD. ESRD patients had a lower initial estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; 21 versus 52 ml/min/1.73 m) and a lower percentage of normal glomeruli (4% versus 15%). Five-year risks of ESRD with eGFR >15 versus ≤15 ml/min/1.73 m were 77% and 15%, with percentage normal glomeruli >10% versus ≤10%, 83% and 39%.
eGFR and percentage of normal glomeruli are strong risk factors for ESRD in ANCA-GN with sclerosing histology.
将抗中性粒细胞胞浆抗体相关性肾小球肾炎(ANCA-GN)患者进行组织学分类有助于预测患者进展至终末期肾病(ESRD)的风险。然而,即使在预后最差的组中,5年无终末期肾病生存率仍高达50%。
研究ANCA-GN伴硬化性组织学患者中提示进展至ESRD的预后因素。
纳入1991年至2012年挪威肾脏活检登记处活检证实为寡免疫性肾小球肾炎、ANCA血清学阳性且组织学为硬化性的患者。通过与挪威肾脏登记处的关联确定随访期间发生ESRD的病例。比较随访期间进展至ESRD和未进展至ESRD的患者中具有相关临界值的潜在预后因素。
纳入的23例患者中,10例进展至ESRD。ESRD患者的初始估计肾小球滤过率(eGFR)较低(21对52 ml/min/1.73m²),正常肾小球的百分比也较低(4%对15%)。eGFR>15与≤15 ml/min/1.73m²时ESRD的5年风险分别为77%和15%,正常肾小球百分比>10%与≤10%时,分别为83%和39%。
eGFR和正常肾小球百分比是ANCA-GN伴硬化性组织学患者发生ESRD的强风险因素。
