Abstract:

Objective To analyze the clinical features and prognostic factors of IgA nephropathy complicated with depression. Methods A total of 100 patients with IgA nephropathy treated in the Ningbo Yinzhou No.2 Hospital from January 2019 to December 2019 were selected as the study objects. According to the absence or presence of depression, they were divided into control group (50 cases without depression) and observation group (50 cases with depression). The general data, laboratory indexes and pathological classification were analyzed and compared between groups. Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate the overall survival (OS), and Logistics regression was used to analyze the prognostic factors. Resultss There were statistically significant differences in the course of disease, working status, monthly household income per capita, glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), hemoglobin, serum albumin, blood uric acid (SUA) and C3 levels, as well as the degree of inflammatory cell infiltration and vascular injury between the two groups ( P <0.01). Compared with the control group, patients in the observation group had a longer course of disease, a higher proportion of non-employees and lower family per capita monthly income ( P <0.05). Compared with the control group, patients in the observation group had significantly lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), hemoglobin and serum albumin, significantly higher serum uric acid (SUA) and C3, and significantly higher degree of inflammatory cell infiltration and vascular injury ( P <0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the course of disease, family per capita monthly income, eGFR, hemoglobin, serum albumin, degree of inflammatory cell infiltration and degree of vascular injury were independent risk factors for IgA nephropathy patients complicated with depression ( P <0.05). At the end of the 3-year follow-up, endpoint events were recorded in 12 patients (doubling the serum creatinine level and/or progressing to the end-stage renal disease [ESRD] and/or receiving renal replacement therapy and/or death was considered as a composite endpoint event), including 9 in the observation group and 3 in the control group. The 1-year and 3-year OS in the observation group was 94.00% and 82.00%, respectively, and that in the control group was 98.00% and 94.00%, respectively. There was a significant difference in the 3-year OS between groups ( P =0.034).Conclusion The independent risk factors for IgA nephropathy complicated with depression include the course of disease, family per capita monthly income, eGFR, hemoglobin, serum albumin, the degree of inflammatory cell infiltration and vascular injury, and the survival time of IgA nephropathy patients complicated with depression significantly decreases.
