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

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

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
