Background
CKD has been observed to progress more slowly in women than men. However, large studies examining associations between sex, reproductive stage, and disease activity and progression in primary glomerulonephropathies are lacking.
Methods
CureGN is a 70-site prospective cohort study of patients with MCD, FSGS, IgAN/IgAV, or MN. Patients with available eGFR, UPCR, and reproductive stage at enrollment were studied. Reproductive stage was categorized as pre-pubertal (Tanner stage I-III), post-pubertal (Tanner stage IV-V, or menarche for females), or post-menopausal (females only). Multivariable mixed linear models adjusted for baseline data at time of enrollment (Table) were fit to examine change in eGFR and UPCR over time.
Results
Median follow-up from enrollment was 2.1 (IQR 1.0-3.1) yrs. Among 1202 patients with available enrollment eGFR, adjusted (Model 3) eGFR slopes amongst females were +0.71, -0.84, and -1.43 ml/min/1.73m2 per year for pre-pubertal, post-pubertal, and post-menopausal women, respectively (Table). For pre-pubertal and post-pubertal males, eGFR slopes were -1.14 and -1.19 ml/min/1.73m2 per year, respectively. Adjusted UPCR slopes by sex and reproductive stage are also shown in the Table.
Conclusion
The protective effect of female sex on eGFR decline was most notable prior to puberty. Of all groups, post-menopausal women had the fastest eGFR decline. Unlike post-pubertal males and females, pre-pubertal participants experienced no significant decrease in UPCR over time, and menopausal status did not seem to impact the rate of UPCR decline seen in post-pubertal females.
