Abstract
Purpose: There are few reports of renal involvement in Common Variable Immunodeficiencies (CVID) and, when present, is due to infections, inflammation, or treatments. The aim of this study was evaluating the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to identify CVID-related clinical, laboratory and therapeutic features inducing it.
Methods: A multicenter observational retrospective study on 367 adult CVID patients from five Italian Referral Centers for Primary Immunodeficiency.
Results: CKD was identified in 23 (6.27%) patients that were older (p < 0.001), had arterial hypertension (p < 0.001), diabetes (p = 0.002), dyslipidemia (p = 0.002), presented different ultrasound abnormalities (p < 0.001) and received predominantly intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) (p = 0.016). Regarding CVID infectious and non-infectious manifestations, CKD patients presented a higher frequency of COPD (p = 0.008). In the CKD group, the median absolute count of total lymphocytes (p = 0.015), the percentage of total B (p = 0.028) and transitional B cells (p = 0.008) were lower. By binomial logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, CKD patients tend to develop autoimmune cytopenia, had lower B cells percentage, increased Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and received more frequently trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole antibiotic prophylaxis. By multivariate analysis, only autoimmune cytopenia was independently associated with CKD.
Conclusion: The prevalence of CKD in CVID is due to aging, age-related comorbidities, disease-related immune dysregulation and inflammation. Our results suggest evaluating renal function in all CVID patients, and mostly in those with a higher "inflammatory" burden.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Clinical Immunology publishes impactful papers in the realm of human immunology, delving into the diagnosis, pathogenesis, prognosis, or treatment of human diseases. The journal places particular emphasis on primary immunodeficiencies and related diseases, encompassing inborn errors of immunity in a broad sense, their underlying genotypes, and diverse phenotypes. These phenotypes include infection, malignancy, allergy, auto-inflammation, and autoimmunity. We welcome a broad spectrum of studies in this domain, spanning genetic discovery, clinical description, immunologic assessment, diagnostic approaches, prognosis evaluation, and treatment interventions. Case reports are considered if they are genuinely original and accompanied by a concise review of the relevant medical literature, illustrating how the novel case study advances the field. The instructions to authors provide detailed guidance on the four categories of papers accepted by the journal.
