摘要

Background

Hyperuricemia is a hallmark of gout and a suspected risk factor for the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the impact of urate-lowering therapy on CKD progression is subject to debate. The objective of the present study was to describe the prevalence of inappropriate urate-lowering therapy prescriptions and evaluate the association between urate-lowering therapy prescription and the progression of kidney disease in patients with CKD.

Methods

CKD-REIN is a French, nationwide, prospective cohort of 3,033 nephrology outpatients with CKD (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2). Prescriptions of urate-lowering therapy drugs (allopurinol or febuxostat) were recorded prospectively. The appropriateness of each prescription was evaluated according to the patient’s kidney function at baseline and during follow-up. Propensity score-matched, cause-specific Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to assess the association between incident urate-lowering therapy use and CKD progression (defined as the initiation of kidney replacement therapy (KRT) but also in other ways).

Results

At baseline, 987 of the 3009 patients included in this study (median age: 69; men: 66%) were receiving urate-lowering therapy; 396 of these 987 patients were receiving an inappropriate prescription with regard to their kidney function. During a 5-year follow-up period, 70% of the 396 urate-lowering therapy prescriptions remained inappropriate. In the propensity score-matched cohort (n = 674), 136 patients started KRT. Compared with non- urate-lowering therapy use, urate-lowering therapy use was not significantly associated with a slowing in CKD progression, regardless of the definition used (HRKRT 0.89, 95% CI 0.67–1.20).

Conclusions

Our real-world data emphasized the lack of reassessment of urate-lowering therapy prescriptions in patients with CKD. Urate-lowering therapy was not associated with a slowing of CKD progression.
