Objective To explore the correlation between the systemic immune-inflammation index(SII)and the clinical and pathological characteristics of patients with IgA nephropathy(IgAN).Methods A total of 350 patients who underwent renal biopsy and were initially diagnosed with primary IgAN were selected.The clinical and pathological data of the patients were collected,and SII was calculated.According to the median SII level of 554.78 in peripheral blood,the IgAN patients were divided into the low SII group(SII≤554.78,175 cases)and the high SII group(SII>554.78,175 cases).Based on the presence or absence of endocapillary hyperplastic(E)lesion,350 patients were also divided into the E0 group(279 cases,79.7%)and the E1 group(71 cases,20.3%).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the influencing factors of E1 in IgAN patients.A predictive model was established,and the predictive value of the model was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results There were higher systolic blood pressure(SBP),platelet count(PLT),neutrophil count(NEU),neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR),total cholesterol(TC),serum creatinine(Scr),serum C3 and 24-hour urine protein levels in the high SII group than those of the low SII group,while the lymphocyte count(LYM)was lower(P＜0.05).In terms of pathological manifestations,the proportion of E1 was higher in the high SII group than that of the low SII group(P＜0.05).There were lower PLT,NEU,NLR,PLR,Scr and 24-hour urine protein in patients of the E0 group than those of the E1 group,while higher Hb,LYM and ALB levels in the E0 group than those of the E1 group(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that elevated SII,Scr and 24-hour urine protein levels were independent risk factors for E1 lesion in IgAN patients(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of the predictive model for E1 lesion in IgAN patients was 0.781(95%CI:0.722-0.840).Conclusion SII can reflect the clinical and pathological severity in IgAN patients,providing new insights for clinical evaluation of the disease progression in IgAN patients.
