Cigarette smoking may accelerate the progression of IgA nephropathy
BMC NEPHROLOGY(2021)
摘要
Background Whether cigarette smoking is associated with the progression of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) remains uncertain; therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effect of cigarette smoking on the prognosis of IgAN. Methods We divided 1239 IgAN patients from West China Hospital of Sichuan University who met the inclusion criteria into smoker (current or former) and non-smoker groups. The endpoint was end-stage renal disease (ESRD: eGFR < 15 mL/min/1.73 m 2 or undergoing renal replacement treatment) and/or eGFR decreased by > 50%. Kaplan–Meier, correlation, logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards analyses were performed. The association between cigarette smoking and IgAN was further verified by propensity-score-matched cohort analysis. Results During the mean follow-up period of 61 months, 19% (40/209) of the smoker group and 11% (110/1030) of the non-smoker group reached the study endpoint ( p < 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that cigarette smoking (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.58; p = 0.043) was an independent risk factor predicting poor renal progression in IgAN, and that IgAN patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3–4 were more susceptible to cigarette smoking ( p < 0.001). After propensity score matching (PSM), a significant correlation between cigarette smoking and renal outcomes in IgAN patients was seen. Furthermore, Spearman’s correlation test revealed that smoking dose was negatively correlated with eGFR ( r = 0.141; p < 0.001) and positively related with proteinuria ( r = 0.096; p = 0.001). Conclusions Cigarette smoking is an independent risk factor for IgAN progression, especially for advanced patients.
