BACKGROUND: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is recommended as a treatment for IgA nephropathy (IgAN) to control proteinuria. The long-term effects of HCQ compared to systemic corticosteroid therapy remain unclear.
METHODS: We conducted a retrospective case‒control study at Peking University First Hospital. Thirty-nine patients with IgAN who received HCQ for at least 24 months without corticosteroids (CSs) or other immunosuppressive agents were included. Thirty-nine matched patients who received systemic CS therapy were selected using propensity score matching. Clinical data over a 24-month period were compared.
RESULTS: In the HCQ group, the level of proteinuria decreased from 1.72 [1.44, 2.35] to 0.97 [0.51, 1.37] g/d (-50.5 [-74.0, -3.4] %, P < 0.001) at 24 months. A significant decline in proteinuria was also found in the CS group, but no significant differences were found between the HCQ group and CS group in the levels of proteinuria (0.97 [0.51, 1.37] vs. 0.53 [0.25, 1.81] g/d, P = 0.707) and change rates (-50.5% [-74.0%, -3.4%] vs. -63.7% [-78.5%, -24.2%], P = 0.385) at 24 months. In addition, the decline rates of eGFR between the HCQ and CS groups were comparable (-7.9% [-16.1%, 5.8%] vs. -6.6% [-14.9%, 5.3%], P = 0.758). More adverse events were observed in the CS group.
CONCLUSIONS: Long-term use of HCQ can maintain stable renal function with minimal side effects. In patients who cannot tolerate corticosteroids, HCQ might be an effective and safe supportive therapy for IgAN.
