Analyses of clinical and pathological factors between ESRD (n = 19) vs. non-ESRD groups (n = 10)
| Parameters | Non-ESRD (n = 10) | ESRD (n = 19) | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age | 39.20±10.59 | 40.37±12.43 | 0.80 |
| Past hypertension | 6/10 (60.0%) | 6/18 (33.3%) | 0.243 |
| Smoker | 44.4% | 53.3% | 1.00 |
| Serum creatinine at presentation | 6.32±2.49 | 10.92±4.11 | 0.005 |
| eGFR at presentation | 13.31±9.89 | 6.45±4.62 | 0.07 |
| Dialysis at onset | 4/10 (40.0%) | 17/18 (94.4%) | 0.003 |
| Severe retinopathy | 22.2% | 50.0% (8/16) | 0.229 |
| % sclerosed glomeruli | 40.58±18.41 | 41.13±31.53 | 0.96 |
| Crescents in biopsy | 4/10 | 6/18 | 0.60 |
| Ischaemic wrinkling | 6/10 (60.0%) | 9/18 (50.0%) | 0.70 |
| Periglomerular fibrosis | 4/10 (40.0%) | 6/18 (33.3%) | 1.00 |
| ATN | 5/10 (50%) | 4/18 (22.2%) | 0.21 |
| Interstitial fibrosis | 4/10 (40%) | 6/18 (33.3%) | 0.59 |
| Tubular atrophy | 9/10 (90%) | 17/18 (93.5%) | 0.08 |
| Thrombotic microangiopathy | 6/10 (60%) | 9/18 (50%) | 0.70 |
| C3 immune deposits | 1/9 (11.1%) | 5/16 (31.2%) | 0.40 |
| Vascular immune deposits | 3/10 (42.9%) | 4/18 (57.1%) | 1.00 |
| Final diagnosis* | Mal HTN 5, IgAN 3, DN 1, CKD 0 | Mal HTN 4, IgAN 5, DN 2, CKD 4 | 0.42 |
*Mal HTN- more than 50% of the glomeruli were viable and had not shown any features of primary glomerular diseases (cellularity, thickening, expansion, and non-vascular immune deposits) hence considered as an accelerated phase of essential hypertension, IgAN- IgA Nephropathy, DN- Diabetic nephropathy, CKD- Histopathology specimens with significant glomerulosclerosis, interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy, non-contributory immunofluorescence and thence primary disease could not be determined labelled as chronic kidney disease
