摘要：

Background Despite the abundant experience of tonsillectomy with steroid pulse therapy (TSP) for patients with immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy, the therapeutic efficacy of TSP on renal prognosis remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of whether TSP effectively prevents chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. Methods This was a single-center, retrospective observational study. A total of 149 patients were enrolled in the current study who were confirmed with IgA nephropathy by renal biopsy between February 2011 and August 2019. The impact of TSP on CKD progression was compared with conservative treatment during a follow-up period of 3 years. Results In total, 110 patients received TSP and 39 patients received conservative treatment. There were no differences between the two groups in the initial CKD stages: 65.1% of patients had CKD G1-2, 32.2% had CKD G3, and 2.7% had CKD G4-5. The initial urine protein was 0.7 g/gCr, which was not different between the two groups. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with TSP had a significantly better renal prognosis than those in the conservative treatment group after one and a half years (p = 0.007). Multivariable analysis revealed that TSP had a significant impact on the prevention of CKD progression, with an adjusted odds ratio of 0.07 (95% confidence interval, 0.01-0.87; p=0.039). However, we could not confirm the predictive value of the Oxford Classification on TSP efficacy. Additionally, the initial urinary protein level was a risk factor for CKD progression. Conclusions TSP was associated with a lower risk of CKD progression. In this regard, our study supports that TSP may be a reasonable treatment option for patients with IgA nephropathy. In the featured study, it needs to be elucidated which histopathological classifications benefit from TSP treatment.
