UK Renal Registry Data on Primary Glomerulonephritis Patients, 1999-2021

10,308 patients with primary glomerulonephritis (pGN) and 8,302 with adult polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) are included in this UK Renal Registry analysis of adults initiating kidney replacement therapy. Stephen A Roberts authored this study, which covers patients from 1999 to 2019 with follow-up to December 2021. Incidence rates for pGN were 11.8 per million population, with significant variation by age, sex, and deprivation.

Use Cases

• Analyze incidence trends of kidney replacement therapy for primary glomerulonephritis based on demographic variables like age and sex mentioned in the description
• Compare patient and graft survival outcomes across different treatment modalities (transplantation, PD, haemodialysis) for pGN subtypes
• Model the association between socioeconomic deprivation and kidney disease incidence using multivariable Poisson regression frameworks described
• Benchmark survival rates for primary glomerulonephritis against a reference disease (ADPKD) over a long-term follow-up period

Strengths

• National population coverage from 2008 onwards, providing a complete UK picture
• Long temporal coverage from 1999 to 2021, allowing analysis of trends
• Detailed results including incidence rates per million population and survival percentages for different treatments

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data is limited to patients requiring kidney replacement therapy and does not capture those managed conservatively
