Abstract Background and Aims Renal involvement is a severe manifestation of ANCA-associated vasculitis. Patients often progress to end-stage renal disease. The potential for renal recovery after a first flare has seldom been studied. Our objectives were to describe the evolution of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and identify factors associated with the change in eGFR between diagnosis and follow-up at 3 months (ΔeGFRM0–M3) in a cohort of patients with a first flare of pauci-immune glomerulonephritis. Methods This was a retrospective study over the period 2003–2018 of incident patients in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais (France). Patients were recruited if they had a first histologically-proven flare of pauci immune glomerulonephritis with at least 1 year of follow up. Kidney function was estimated with MDRD-equation and analysed at diagnosis, 3rd, 6th and 12th months. The primary outcome was ΔeGFRM0–M3. Factors evaluated were histological (Berden classification, interstitial fibrosis, percentage of crescents), clinical (extra-renal manifestations, sex, age) or biological (severity of acute kidney injury, dialysis, ANCA subtype). Results One hundred and seventy-seven patients were included. The eGFR at 3 months was significantly higher than at diagnosis (mean ± standard deviation, 40 ± 24 vs 28 ± 26 ml/min/1.73 m2, p < 0.001), with a ΔeGFRM0–M3 of 12 ± 19 ml/min/1.73 m2. The eGFR at 12 months was higher than at 3 months (44 ± 13 vs 40 ± 24 ml/min/1.73m2, p = 0.003). The factors significantly associated with ΔeGFRM0–M3 in univariate analysis were: sclerotic class according to Berden classification, percentage of interstitial fibrosis, percentage of cellular crescents, acute tubular necrosis, neurological involvement. The factors associated with ΔeGFRM0–M3 in multivariate analysis were the percentage of cellular crescents and neurological involvement. The mean increase in eGFR was 2.90 ± 0.06 ml/min/1.73m2 for every 10-point gain in the percentage of cellular crescents. ΔeGFRM0–M3 was not associated with the risks of end-stage renal disease or death in long-term follow-up. Conclusions Early renal recovery after a first flare of pauci-immune glomerulonephritis occurred mainly in the first three months of treatment. The percentage of cellular crescents was the main independent predictor of early renal recovery.

ObjectiveTo examine whether lifestyle factors, including sedentary time and physical activity, could independently contribute to risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD).Study designCase-cohort study.SettingSouth-eastern USA.ParticipantsThe Southern Community Cohort Study recruited ~86 000 black and white participants from 2002 to 2009. We assembled a case cohort of 692 incident ESRD cases and a probability sample of 4113 participants.PredictorsSedentary time was calculated as hours/day from daily sitting activities. Physical activity was calculated as metabolic equivalent (MET)-hours/day from engagement in light, moderate and vigorous activities.OutcomesIncident ESRD.ResultsAt baseline, among the subcohort, mean (SD) age was 52 (8.6) years, and median (25th, 75th centile) estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 102.8 (85.9–117.9) mL/min/1.73 m2. Medians (25th–75th centile) for sedentary time and physical activity were 8.0 (5.5–12.0) hours/day and 17.2 (8.7–31.9) MET-hours/day, respectively. Median follow-up was 9.4 years. We observed significant interactions between eGFR and both physical activity and sedentary behaviour (p<0.001). The partial effect plot of the association between physical activity and log relative hazard of ESRD suggests that ESRD risk decreases as physical activity increases when eGFR is 90 mL/min/1.73 m2. The inverse association is most pronounced at physical activity levels >27 MET-hours/day. High levels of sitting time were associated with increased ESRD risk only among those with reduced kidney function (eGFR ≤30 mL/min/1.73 m2); this association was attenuated after excluding the first 2 years of follow-up.ConclusionsIn a population with a high prevalence of chronic kidney disease risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes, physical activity appears to be associated with reduced risk of ESRD among those with preserved kidney function. A positive association between sitting time and ESRD observed among those with advanced kidney disease is likely due to reverse causation.
