Background: To investigate the pathological spectrum of glomerular disease in patients with renal insufficiency (RI) from 2008 to 2017. Methods and results: We calculated the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration creatinine (CKD-EPI) equation and defined RI as an eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73 m2. A total of 969 RI patients were included in our study. IgA nephropathy (IgAN) was the most common subtype of primary glomerulonephritis (37.2%). The frequencies of IgAN and non-IgA mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis decreased from 27.3% and 9.5% during 2008-2012 to 20.7% and 2.6% during 2013-2017, respectively. However, the frequency of membranous nephropathy increased from 6.8% to 16.2%. Lupus nephritis was the most common subtype of secondary glomerulonephritis (32.1%). The frequencies of both ANCA-associated systemic vasculitis and diabetic nephropathy increased from 3.8% to 7.6% and from 4.3% to 7.6%, respectively. The number of elderly patients (≥60 years) in our study increased sharply, from 15.6% in 2008 to 35.0% in 2017. Membranous nephropathy, minimal change disease, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, lupus nephritis and renal amyloidosis are more frequently observed in the elderly patients than in nonelderly patients (<60 years) (p < .05). Excluding those with acute kidney injury, IgAN was the leading cause of RI (24.9%), followed by membranous nephropathy (13.3%) and lupus nephritis (12.0%). Conclusions: IgAN and lupus nephritis were the most prevalent primary glomerulonephritis and secondary glomerulonephritis in patients with RI, respectively. The frequencies of membranous nephropathy, ANCA-associated systemic vasculitis and diabetic nephropathy increased significantly. The number of elderly patients with RI increased sharply.
Kidney fibrosis is the common final pathway of virtually all advanced forms of chronic kidney disease (CKD) including diabetic nephropathy (DN), IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and membranous nephropathy (MN), with complex mechanism. Comparative gene expression analysis among these types of CKD may shed light on its pathogenesis. Therefore, we conducted this study aiming at exploring the common and specific fibrosis-related genes involved in different types of CKD.
