Predictive Factors of Renal Recovery and Progression to End-Stage Kidney Disease in Patients With Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Autoantibody-Associated Vasculitis With Severe Kidney Disease

Introduction: A significant number of patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)- associated vasculitis (AAV) with glomerulonephritis (AAV-GN) still progress to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD, estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] <15 ml/min per 1.73 m2) despite advances in...

description Introduction: A significant number of patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)- associated vasculitis (AAV) with glomerulonephritis (AAV-GN) still progress to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD, estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] <15 ml/min per 1.73 m2) despite advances in remission-induction treatment. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study on myeloperoxidase (MPO)-ANCA or proteinase 3 (PR3)-ANCA positive patients with AAV (microscopic polyangiitis, MPA; or granulomatosis with polyangiitis, GPA) and eGFR <15 ml/min per 1.73 m2 or ESKD at presentation. Renal recovery, dialysis discontinuation, and persistence of ESKD after standard remission-induction, with or without the use of plasma exchange (PLEX) were analyzed. Results: We analyzed 166 patients with biopsy-proven active AAV-GN and eGFR <15 ml/min per 1.73 m2 at the time of diagnosis. Patients received glucocorticoids with cyclophosphamide (CYC) (n = 84) or with rituximab (RTX) (n = 72) for remission-induction, and 49 received PLEX. The predictors of renal recovery were erythrocyte sedimentation rate, serum creatinine (SCr) at diagnosis, and minimal or mild chronicity changes. We further analyzed 71 patients who started dialysis with or without PLEX within 4 weeks of AAV-GN diagnosis. The predictors of dialysis discontinuation were minimal chronicity changes in kidney biopsy at diagnosis (odds ratio = 6.138; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.389–27.118; P = 0.017). Predictors of persistence of ESKD within 12 months included higher SCr at diagnosis (incidence rate ratio [IRR] = 1.086; 95% CI: 1.005–1.173; P = 0.037), and moderate (IRR = 3.797; 95% CI: 1.090–13.225; P = 0.036), or severe chronicity changes in kidney biopsy (IRR = 5.883; 95% CI: 1.542–22.439; P =0.009). Conclusion: In our cohort, kidney recovery, dialysis discontinuation, and persistence of ESKD in patients with AAV-GN and eGFR <15 ml/min per 1.73 m2 depended on SCr and histologic findings on kidney biopsies at the time of diagnosis and was not affected by the addition of PLEX.
