Primary glomerular diseases and long-term adverse health outcomes: A nationwide cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although glomerular diseases are the third most frequent cause of end-stage kidney disease worldwide, little is known about their long-term outcomes.

Methods

In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3-5 enrolled in the Swedish Renal Registry, we compared risks of hospitalization, kidney replacement therapy (KRT), major cardiovascular events (MACE), and death of the four most frequent primary glomerular diseases (IgA nephropathy [IgAN], focal segmental glomerulosclerosis [FSGS], minimal change disease [MCD], and membranous nephropathy [MN]), and patients with CKD due to the most common non-communicable diseases (control-CKD).

Results

We identified 2396 patients with glomerular disease (97% biopsy-proven, 69% men, 57 years, eGFR 29 mL/min/1.73 m
