Levels of Socioeconomic Deprivation Are Associated with Worse Kidney Outcomes in Patients with IgA Nephropathy: Data from UK RaDaR (KIDNEY WEEK 2023)
Outcomes in this large IgAN cohort have been published and shown to be poor with few patients expected to avoid kidney failure in their lifetime. This analysis demonstrates even worse outcomes if more socioeconomically deprived & highlights the need to develop strategies to ensure equity of access not only to early diagnosis but also to the new therapies that are showing promise in preventing kidney failure in IgAN.IMD QuintilesAge at diagnosis(median, 25th & 75th pctl)Gender (M/F)(% IMD quintile)White/ non-White (%)eGFR at diagnosis(median, 25th & 75th pctl)Time to kidney failure(median, 95% CI)1- most deprived38.9 (28.4, 51.2)67.3/32.775.2/25.838 (21, 69)7.9 (6.9, 9.3)341.0 (29.4, 51.9)69.9/30.186.2/13.839 (22, 70)10.4 (9.0, 12.6)5- least deprived41.6 (30.6, 55.0)74.3/25.788.5/11.537 (22, 68)12.4 (11.1, 13.5)
