背景:镜下多血管炎(MPA)患者的肾脏和生活结局仍不能令人满意。必须为适当的患者提供适当的治疗强度。及早发现重症病例,我们调查了与肾脏和生活结局相关的因素.
方法:我们纳入了2021年1月1日至2023年5月11日在10个附属中心进行肾脏活检后,根据髓过氧化物酶-抗中性粒细胞胞浆抗体(MPO-ANCA)阳性和肾脏组织病理学结果诊断为MPA的患者。包括我们的医院.死亡,维持性透析,和估计肾小球滤过率(eGFR)<15治疗6个月后定义为预后不良组,并调查了与这些条件相关的因素。
结果:我们在这项研究中纳入了84名(36名男性和48名女性)患者。中位年龄为73.8岁(四分位距:71-81岁)。经过6个月的治疗,预后不良组患者比例为16.7%,死亡率为7.1%,肾脏预后不良率为9.5%。受试者工作特征曲线下面积显示,2周时的eGFR具有与4周时的eGFR相当的预后表现(曲线下面积分别为0.875和0.896)。经过各种因素的调整,2周时eGFR与预后显著相关(p=0.031)。
结论:MPA开始治疗后2周肾功能可预测预后。
BACKGROUND: Kidney and life outcomes remain unsatisfactory in patients with microscopic polyangiitis (MPA). Appropriate treatment intensity must be provided to the appropriate patients. To identify severe cases early, we investigated the factors related to kidney and life outcomes.
METHODS: We included patients diagnosed with MPA based on myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA) positivity and kidney histopathology results after kidney biopsies between January 1, 2021, and May 11, 2023, at 10 affiliated centers, including our hospital. Death, maintenance dialysis, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 15 after 6 months of treatment were defined as poor prognosis groups, and factors associated with these conditions were investigated.
RESULTS: We included 84 (36 men and 48 women) patients in this study. Median age was 73.8 (interquartile range: 71-81) years. After 6 months of treatment, the proportion of patients in the poor prognosis group was 16.7 %, with a mortality of 7.1 % and a poor kidney prognosis rate of 9.5 %. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve showed that eGFR at 2 weeks had a comparable prognostic performance equal as eGFR at 4 weeks (area under the curve: 0.875 and 0.896, respectively). After adjustment by various factors, eGFR at 2 weeks was related with prognosis significantly (p = 0.031).
CONCLUSIONS: Kidney function 2 weeks after the start of treatment for MPA can predict prognosis.
