概要 Background
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a heterogeneous glomerular disease with variable progression patterns. Attribute-based medicine emphasizes tailoring treatment to individual characteristics. We hypothesized that this approach could clarify residual risks and inform personalized management.
Methods
This secondary analysis included 996 adults from the Japanese Nationwide Retrospective Cohort Study in IgAN. The primary outcome was kidney replacement therapy or a ≥1.5-fold increase in serum creatinine. Six attributes were assessed: age, sex, BMI, CKD stage, urinary protein excretion (U-Prot), and urine occult blood (U-OB). Cox regression and Kaplan–Meier analyses evaluated main effects and interactions with eight clinical variables (e.g., eGFR, corticosteroid use, hyperuricaemia).
Results
Over a median 7.0 years, 111 patients (11.1%) reached the primary outcome. Multivariable analysis identified low eGFR (HR=0.87 per 10 mL/min/1.73 m2), high U-Prot (log HR=4.54), and hyperuricaemia (HR=1.64) as risk factors; corticosteroids (HR=0.60) and tonsillectomy (HR=0.44) were protective. Key interactions included:
1. Hyperuricaemia with BMI <22 kg/m2 (HR=3.44, P=0.003),
2. Hypertension with female sex (HR=4.36, P=0.018),
3. The prognostic impact of age and eGFR differed between CKD stage 3 and stages 1–2, indicating a reversal in risk association,
4. Stronger association of U-Prot with outcomes in those with U-OB ≤2+,
5. Corticosteroids improved outcomes in patients with U-Prot ≥1 g/day, while tonsillectomy was most effective in those with U-OB ≥3+.
Conclusion
Attribute-based analysis uncovered critical risk modifiers and supports individualized treatment strategies in IgAN. This approach enables precision nephrology and may improve kidney outcomes by aligning therapy with patient attributes.
