| Abstract: |
Background Data on the prognostic factors for C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) are limited, and validation of the new C3G histologic index (C3G-HI) in different settings is still needed. We aimed to evaluate the chronicity score of C3G-HI and probable prognostic factors in our population. Methods In this registry study, 74 patients from 20 centers with adequate follow-up data were included. Total chronicity score (TCS) was calculated according to percentages of glomerulosclerosis, interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy, and presence of arterio- and arteriolosclerosis. Primary composite outcome was defined as doubling of serum creatinine from baseline, undergoing dialysis or transplantation, development of stage 5 chronic kidney disease, or death. Results Median age was 34 [interquartile range (IQR) 24–46] years, and 39 patients (52.7%) were male. Median follow-up duration was 36 (IQR 12–60) months, and median TCS was 3 (IQR 1–5). Overall, 19 patients (25.7%) experienced primary composite outcome. Multivariate Cox regression model showed that only hemoglobin [adjusted HR (aHR) 0.67, 95% confidence interval 0.46–0.97, P = .035] predicted primary composite outcome, and TCS fell short of the statistical significance (aHR 1.26, 0.97–1.64, P = .08). Receiver operating characteristic analysis demonstrated that TCS showed an area under the curve value of 0.68 (0.56–0.78, P = .028) in discriminating primary composite outcome at 3 years, and 3-year kidney survival was lower in patients with TCS ≥4 (72.4%) compared with TCS <4 (91.1%) in Kaplan–Meier analysis (P = .036). Conclusions Low hemoglobin levels predicted dismal outcomes in patients with C3G. TCS ≥4 was associated with a worse 3-year kidney survival, which validated the 3-year prognostic value of the TCS of C3G-HI in our population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
