Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Social deprivation is a recognized risk factor for undifferentiated CKD; however, its association with glomerular disease is less well understood. We sought to investigate the relationship between socioeconomic position and the population-level incidence of biopsy-proven glomerular diseases. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: In this retrospective cohort study, a provincial kidney pathology database (2000-2012) was used to capture all incident cases of membranous nephropathy (n=392), IgA nephropathy (n=818), FSGS (n=375), ANCA-related GN (ANCA-GN, n=387), and lupus nephritis (n=389) in British Columbia, Canada. Quintiles of area-level household income were used as a proxy for socioeconomic position, accounting for regional differences in living costs. Incidence rates were direct standardized to the provincial population using census data for age and sex and were used to generate standardized rate ratios. For lupus nephritis, age standardization was performed separately in men and women. RESULTS: A graded increase in standardized incidence with lower income was observed for lupus nephritis (P<0.001 for trend in both sexes) and ANCA-GN (P=0.04 for trend). For example, compared with the highest quintile, the lowest income quintile had a standardized rate ratio of 1.7 (95% confidence interval, 1.19 to 2.42) in women with lupus nephritis and a standardized rate ratio of 1.5 (95% confidence interval, 1.09 to 2.06) in ANCA-GN. The association between income and FSGS was less consistent, in that only the lowest income quintile was associated with a higher incidence of disease (standardized rate ratio, 1.55; 95% confidence interval, 1.13 to 2.13). No significant associations were demonstrated for IgA nephropathy or membranous nephropathy. CONCLUSIONS: Using population-level data and a centralized pathology database, we observed an inverse association between socioeconomic position and the standardized incidence of lupus nephritis and ANCA-GN.
