The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of plasmapheresis in patients
with lupus nephritis-combined thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) in a Chinese
cohort.Clinical and therapeutic data of patients with lupus nephritis-combined
TMA were collected retrospectively. A comparison between those with and without
plasmapheresis was performed.Seventy patients with renal biopsy-proven TMA in
lupus nephritis were treated with conventional combined corticosteroid and
immunosuppressive agents as induction therapy, 9 of the 70 patients received
additional plasmapheresis. The plasmapheresis group presented with more severe
SLE and renal activity indices, including a significant higher ratio of
neurologic disorder (P?=?0.025), lower level of platelet count (P?=?0.009),
higher value of serum creatinine (P?=?0.038), higher percentage of
anti-cardiolipin antibodies positive (P?=?0.001), and higher Systemic Lupus
Erythematosus Disease Activity Index scores (P?=?0.012), than that of the
nonplasmapheresis group. However, the plasmapheresis group had a significant
higher rate of remission and a lower ratio of treatment failure than that of the
nonplasmapheresis group (P?=?0.03). As the baseline data were significantly
different between the 2 groups, the propensity score match was further designed
to avoid retrospective bias. After re-analysis, the plasmapheresis group still
had a significant higher rate of remission and a lower ratio of treatment failure
than that of the nonplasmapheresis group (P?=?0.018). More importantly, the
plasmapheresis group had significant less composite endpoints than that of the
nonplasmapheresis group (P?=?0.005).Our study suggested that additional
plasmapheresis on conventional induction therapy may benefit patients with lupus
nephritis-combined TMA, which warrants further explorations.
