Retrospective cohort study examines renal survival in patients with glomerular diseases, highlighting challenges of chronic kidney disease.
Key Points
Renal survival was notably influenced by the type of glomerular disease, with minimal change disease showing better outcomes than membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.
Significant correlations exist between chronic kidney disease progression and factors like higher body mass index and lower estimated glomerular filtration rate.
The study analyzed a 25-year cohort of 417 patients, assessing socio-demographic and clinical data alongside renal outcomes.
Lupus nephritis was the most prevalent secondary glomerular disease, while membranous nephropathy was the leading primary glomerular disease in this cohort.
