“…3,4,18,22,23 Hypoalbuminemia is associated with increased mortality in several non-cardiac comorbidities such as endstage renal disease, infection, and pulmonary disease. 18 This may explain the increased non-cardiovascular mortality of patients in the low-GNRI group. In contrast, there was no significant difference in HF re-hospitalization between the 2 groups.…”

Background: Novel biomarkers are needed to predict the response to treatment in patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS) due to primary glomerulonephritides (PGN). We aimed to test the predictive value of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) for estimation of response to therapy in adult patients with NS. Study design, setting & participants, and intervention: We performed a prospective study including 176 patients with NS due to PGN. Patients were divided into three groups according to their response to the treatment. Group 1 was composed of patients with complete remission whereas group 2 was composed of patients with partial remission and group 3 was composed of patients who were resistant to the treatment. Results: The highest baseline mean RDW value was found in group 3 patients (17.8 ± 1.8) whereas the lowest in group 1 (13.4 ± 0.7) before treatment (p50.05). We found a significant decrease in RDW value after an effective treatment in groups 1 and group 2 (p50.05). However, there was no significant change in RDW values after treatment in group 3 (p40.05). Most of the patient with complete remission had base-line RDW level 14% (n ¼ 45, 90%) (p50.001, Kendal Tau: À0.86), and most of the patients who were resistant to the treatment had base-line RDW level p415% (n ¼ 68, 86.1%) (p50.001, Kendal Tau: À0.87). Conclusion: Our results suggest that pre-treatment RDW value is a promising novel biomarker for predicting response to the treatment in adult patients with NS due to PGN.
