Objective. To investigate the predictive factors associated with rapid progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with primary glomerular disease (PGD). Methods. Baseline data, clinical biochemistry, laboratory data, and imaging data were collected from 112 PGD patients in CKD stages 3 and 4 who were hospitalized at the Third Xiangya Hospital. Patients were divided into rapid progression group (Group R) and no rapid progression group (NR) according to the definition of rapid progression of CKD. Results. The age, systolic blood pressure (SBP), serum β2-microglobulin (sβ2-MG), urinary α1-microglobulin (uα1-MG), and cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) of the R group were significantly higher than the NR group. However, the size of the kidney, high-dense lipoprotein (HDL), hemoglobin (Hb), and hematocrit of the R group were significantly lower than the NR group (). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that baseline CTR, SBP, size of the kidney, and HDL were independent risk factors for rapid progression of PGD. At the end of follow-up, CTR and SBP of group R were higher than the NR group, and the size of the kidney and HDL of group R were lower than the NR group. Conclusion. Increased baseline CTR and SBP and decreased baseline HDL and renal volume could be the predictors of rapid progression in patients of PGD at the CKD stages 3 and 4.
