Background

We hypothesized that proteinuria had an effect modification on hematuria-related kidney function decline.

Methods

This is a longitudinal observational study. Participants was 40 to 74 years old and those who received multiple nationwide specific health checks between 2008 and 2014. The exposures of interest were hematuria (presence or absence) and proteinuria (3 categories: none, occasional, and persistent). Using a mixed-effects model, trajectories of eGFR decline adjusted for clinically relevant factors were examined between hematuria categories stratified by proteinuria categories.

Results

Among 552,951 subjects, 146,753 (26.5%) had hematuria, and 56,021 (10.1%) and 8,061 (1.5%) had occasional and persistent proteinuria, respectively. During the median follow up of 3.0 years, annual change in eGFR decline in participants with hematuria (median [95% confidence interval]: −0.95 [−0.98 to −0.92] mL/min/1.73 m2/year) was significantly faster than those without hematuria (−0.86 [−0.87 to −0.84] mL/min/1.73 m2/year, P <0.001) in the entire cohort. The differences in eGFR decline rate between participants with and without hematuria (mean ± standard error) were 0.036±0.005, 0.027±0.013, and 0.130±0.048 mL/min/1.73 m2/year in none, occasional, and persistent proteinuria categories, respectively. Proteinuria had synergistic effect on hematuria-related eGFR decline rate (P for interaction <0.001).

Conclusion

Proteinuria has a synergistic effect on the hematuria-related decline in kidney function.
