Background: This study investigated the association between urinary epidermal growth factor (EGF) and complete remission (CR) of proteinuria in children with IgA nephropathy (IgAN).Methods: We included 108 patients from the Registry of IgA Nephropathy in Chinese Children. The urinary EGF at the baseline and follow-up were measured and normalized by urine creatinine (expressed as uEGF/Cr). The person-specific uEGF/Cr slopes were estimated using linear mixed-effects models for the subset of patients with longitudinal data of uEGF/Cr. Cox models were used to analyze the associations of baseline uEGF/Cr and uEGF/Cr slope with CR of proteinuria.Results: Patients with high baseline uEGF/Cr were more likely to achieve CR of proteinuria (adjusted HR 2.24, 95% CI: 1.05–4.79). The addition of high baseline uEGF/Cr on the traditional parameters significantly improved the model fit for predicting CR of proteinuria. In the subset of patients with longitudinal data of uEGF/Cr, high uEGF/Cr slope was associated with a higher likelihood of CR of proteinuria (adjusted HR 4.03, 95% CI: 1.02–15.88).Conclusions: Urinary EGF may be a useful noninvasive biomarker for predicting and monitoring CR of proteinuria in children with IgAN.Impact: High levels of baseline uEGF/Cr (>21.45 ng/mg) could serve as an independent predictor for CR of proteinuria.The addition of baseline uEGF/Cr on the traditional clinical pathological parameters significantly improved the fitting ability for the prediction of CR of proteinuria.Longitudinal data of uEGF/Cr were also independently associated with CR of proteinuria.Our study provides evidence that urinary EGF may be a useful noninvasive biomarker in the prediction of CR of proteinuria as well as monitoring therapeutic response, thus guiding treatment strategies in clinical practice for children with IgAN.
