The symptoms were refractory to multiple endovascular interventions and eventually necessitated ligation of his arteriovenous fistula.

The association between the percentage of the 6-month change of eGFR (%ΔeGFR/6m) and aAG was examined.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The mean baseline eGFR was 27.5 ± 11.1 ml/min/1.73 m<sup>2</sup> and the mean %ΔeGFR/6m was 13.8 ± 10.3. UPCR and aAG were 1.13 ± 0.93 and 9.48 ± 1.88, respectively. %ΔeGFR/6m was associated with aAG (r = 0.438, p < 0.005), but not with UPCR (r = 0.194, p = 0.218). In multivariate linear regression analyses, aAG remained significantly associated with %ΔeGFR/6m (β = 0.45, p < 0.01) after controlling for age, baseline eGFR, UPCR and HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> concentration.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>These data suggest that aAG appears to be associated with the progression of CKD. aAG might be an independent predictor of CKD progression.</p>","PeriodicalId":56356,"journal":{"name":"Nephron Extra","volume":" ","pages":"113-117"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000356461","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"31963968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
