Abstrakt: Purpose: Patients undergoing kidney biopsy are increasingly older. We aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of kidney biopsy, long-term clinical outcomes, and safety of high-risk biopsies in older adults undergoing kidney biopsy in a multi-ethnic Southeast Asian cohort.
Methods: We performed a single-center retrospective study of older patients (age ≥ 60 years) who underwent native kidney biopsies between June 2011 and March 2015. The primary long-term outcome of interest was a composite of ESKD or death. The safety outcome of interest was post-biopsy bleeding in the high-risk subgroup, defined by serum creatinine > 150 µmol/l.
Results: Older adults accounted for 153 of 545 (28.1%) native renal biopsies performed. The median age of these older adults was 66.6 (IQR 63.0, 70.6) years. Kidney dysfunction was frequent and severe in this cohort, with 41.2% having eGFR < 30 ml/min/m 2 and 71.2% having nephrotic-range proteinuria at presentation. A significant proportion (124 patients; 81.0%) had treatable diagnoses. Of these, 90 (72.6%) received immunosuppressive therapy. On Kaplan-Meier analysis, patients with pauci-immune glomerulonephritis (p = 0.004) and diabetic nephropathy (p = 0.005) were at a significantly increased risk of the composite outcome of ESKD or death. On multivariate analysis, older age and lower eGFR were independently associated with ESKD or death and ESKD alone. Lupus nephritis and diabetic nephropathy were independently associated with ESKD or death, while immunosuppressant therapy was associated with reduced ESKD alone. In the high-risk subgroup, post-biopsy bleeding occurred in 19 (22.8%) patients. Desmopressin use was not associated with reduced bleeding complications.
Conclusion: Our study confirmed the utility of kidney biopsy in older adult patients for diagnosis and management, although risk counselling and close monitoring for bleeding complications is necessary.
