Early reduction in total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio predicts hydroxychloroquine efficacy in treating IgA nephropathy by Yaotong Shi, Ting Yang, Yuan Feng, Nan Li, Qiuyuan Shao, Chunming Jiang, Jing Liu

“…Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed that a high TC/HDL-C decline rate was strongly associated with a higher proteinuria reduction rate in patients with IgAN. Furthermore, multivariate Cox analysis indicated that a higher reduction in the TC/HDL-C ratio (hazard ratio: 2.314; 95% confidence interval: 1.234–4.340; p = 0.009) was an independent predictive indicator for achieving ≥50% reduction in proteinuria with HCQ therapy in IgAN.Conclusion HCQ effectively improves lipid profiles in patients with IgAN, and an early decrease in the TC/HDL-C ratio serves as a predictor of better outcomes in patients treated with HCQ.…”
