Background
Changes in disease activity markers are important outcomes for clinical trials in rare proteinuric kidney disease. While novel therapies may be effective in multiple etiologies, the relationship between proteinuria and kidney survival has not been directly compared across diseases.
Methods
We studied children and adults with FSGS or IgAN enrolled in Nephrotic Syndrome Study Network (NEPTUNE) at the time of clinically indicated biopsy and followed prospectively with proteinuria and eGFR at each study visit. We tested the association between lowest proteinuria within 12 months (mo) after biopsy and the time to composite of ESKD/40% eGFR decline using Kaplan-Meier method.
Results
211 FSGS and 58 IgAN patients were included. Compared to IgAN, FSGS patients had higher baseline eGFR, UPCR and obesity rates, but similar age and blood pressure. Relative change in proteinuria was -42% vs -39% by 12mo and -42% vs -63% by 24mo in FSGS and IgAN, respectively, but a significant proportion with either diagnosis did not achieve complete remission (Fig 1). Associations between higher protieinuria in 12mo and shorter kidney survival time were similar across diseases (Fig 2).
Conclusion
Lower proteinuria by 12mo after biopsy was associated with similar improvement in kidney survival in FSGS and IgAN. A substantial proportion of patients under usual care have high proteinuria at 24mo, highlighting unmet need for new treatments.
