Persistent albuminuria and chronic kidney disease in adults with sickle cell anaemia: Results from a multicenter natural history study.

Clinical and laboratory correlates of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in sickle cell anaemia remain incompletely defined. In a multicenter cohort study, we evaluated the prevalence of persistent albuminuria (PA) and characteristics associated with PA, albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) and decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using logistic, linear and multinomial regression models, respectively. Of 269 participants (median age: 30 years; 57.2% females), the prevalence of PA was 35.7%. Using baseline ACR values of <100 and ≥100 mg/g, the probabilities of PA were 30.0% and 94.6%, respectively. In multivariable logistic regression analyses, male sex (ß = 0.80 [SE = 0.36], p = 0.024) and ACE inhibitors/ARBs use (ß = 1.54 [SE = 0.43], p < 0.001) were associated with higher likelihoods of PA, while higher haemoglobin (ß = -0.33 [SE = 0.13], p = 0.009) and HbF (ß = -0.04 [SE = 0.02], p = 0.041) were associated with lower likelihoods of PA. In multivariable multinomial regression analyses, older age (ß = 0.06 [SE = 0.02], p = 0.004) and higher alkaline phosphatase (ß = 0.01 [SE = 0.00], p = 0.004) were associated with higher odds of having eGFR 60-90 versus eGFR>90 mL/min/1.73 m2 using the cystatin C-based CKD-EPI-2012 equation. Additionally, higher systolic blood pressure (ß = 0.11 [SE = 0.03], p = 0.001) and blood urea nitrogen (ß = 0.45 [SE = 0.12], p < 0.001) were associated with higher odds, while higher haemoglobin (ß = -1.22 [SE = 0.43], p = 0.004) was associated with lower odds of having eGFR<60 versus eGFR>90 mL/min/1.73 m2. PA and decreased eGFR are associated with measures of disease severity and comorbid conditions (Clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT03277547).

Expert consensus on the management of infusion-related reactions (IRRs) in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) receiving crizanlizumab: a RAND/UCLA modified Delphi panel.

Crizanlizumab, a monoclonal antibody against P-selectin, has been shown to reduce vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs) compared to placebo in patients ≥ 16 years with sickle cell disease (SCD). However, there have been rare reports of patients experiencing severe pain and subsequent complications within 24 hours of crizanlizumab infusions. These events are defined as infusion-related reactions (IRRs). Informed by current literature and clinical experience, a group of content experts developed clinical guidelines for the management of IRRs in patients with SCD. We used the RAND/University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) modified Delphi panel method, a valid, reproducible technique for achieving consensus. We present our recommendations for managing IRRs, which depend on patient characteristics including: prior history of IRRs to other monoclonal antibodies or medications, changes to crizanlizumab infusion rate and patient monitoring, pain severity relative to patient's typical SCD crises, and severe allergic symptoms. These recommendations outline how to evaluate and manage IRRs in patients receiving crizanlizumab. Future research should validate this guidance using clinical data and identify patients at risk for these IRRs.

Riociguat in patients with sickle cell disease and hypertension or proteinuria (STERIO-SCD): a randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled, phase 1-2 trial.

BACKGROUND: Although nitric oxide based therapeutics have been shown in preclinical models to reduce vaso-occlusive events and improve cardiovascular function, a clinical trial of a phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor increased rates of admission to hospital for pain. We aimed to examine if riociguat, a direct stimulator of the nitric oxide receptor soluble guanylate cyclase, causes similar increases in vaso-occlusive events. METHODS: This was a phase 1-2, randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled trial. Eligible patients were 18 years or older, had confirmed sickle cell disease documented by haemoglobin electrophoresis or HPLC fractionation (haemoglobin SS, SC, Sß-thalassemia, SD, or SO-Arab), and stage 1 hypertension or proteinuria. Participants were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive either riociguat or matching placebo via a web-based system to maintain allocation concealment. Both treatments were administered orally starting at 1·0 mg three times a day up to 2·5 mg three times a day (highest tolerated dose) for 12 weeks. Dose escalation by 0·5 mg was considered every 2 weeks if systolic blood pressure was greater than 95 mm Hg and the participant had no signs of hypotension; otherwise, the last dose was maintained. The primary outcome was the proportion of participants who had at least one adjudicated treatment-emergent serious adverse event. The analysis was performed by the intention-to-treat. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02633397) and was completed. FINDINGS: Between April 11, 2017, and Dec 31, 2021, 165 participants were screened and consented to be enrolled into the study. Of these, 130 participants were randomly assigned to either riociguat (n=66) or placebo (n=64). The proportion of participants with at least one treatment-emergent serious adverse event was 22·7% (n=15) in the riociguat group and 31·3% (n=20) in the placebo group (difference -8·5% [90% CI -21·4 to 4·5]; p=0·19). A similar pattern emerged in other key safety outcomes, sickle cell related vaso-occlusive events (16·7 [n=11] vs 21·9% [n=14]; difference -5·2% [-17·2 to 6·5]; p=0·42), mean pain severity (3·18 vs 3·32; adjusted mean difference -0·14 [-0·70 to 0·42]; p=0·69), and pain interference (3·15 vs 3·12; 0·04 [-0·62 to 0·69]; p=0·93) at 12 weeks were similar between groups. Regarding the key clinical efficacy endpoints, participants taking riociguat had a blood pressure of -8·20 mm Hg (-10·48 to -5·91) compared with -1·24 (-3·58 to 1·10) in those taking placebo (-6·96 mm Hg (90% CI -10·22 to -3·69; p<0·001). INTERPRETATION: Riociguat was safe and had a significant haemodynamic effect on systemic blood pressure. The results of this study provide measures of effect and variability that will inform power calculations for future trials. FUNDING: Bayer Pharmaceuticals.

Opioid Prescribing and Outcomes in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease Post-2016 CDC Guideline.

Importance: Although the intention of the 2016 US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain was not to limit pain treatment for patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), clinicians and patients have recognized the possibility that the guideline may have altered outcomes for this population. However, the outcomes of the 2016 guideline for this patient population are unknown. Objective: To examine changes in opioid prescribing patterns and health outcomes among patients with SCD before and after the release of the 2016 CDC guideline. Design, Setting, and Participants: This retrospective cohort study conducted interrupted time series analysis of claims data from the Merative MarketScan Commercial Database from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2019. In this population-based study in the US, individuals with SCD who were at least 1 year of age, had no cancer diagnosis, and had pharmacy coverage for the month of measurement were included. The data were analyzed from January 2021 to November 2023. Exposure: The CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain released in March 2016. Main Outcomes and Measures: The main variables measured in this study included the practice of opioid prescribing among patients with SCD (ie, rate of opioid prescriptions dispensed, mean number of days supplied, mean total morphine milligram equivalents [MME] per patient, and mean daily MME per opioid prescription) and pain-related health outcomes (rates of emergency department visits related to vaso-occlusive crises [VOC] and hospitalizations related to VOC). Results: The cohort included 14 979 patients with SCD (mean [SD] age, 25.9 [16.9] years; 8520 [56.9%] female). Compared with the preguideline trends, the following changes were observed after the guideline was released: significant decreases in the coefficient for change in slope of the opioid dispensing rate (-0.29 [95% CI, -0.39 to -0.20] prescriptions per 100 person-month; P < .001), the number of days supplied per prescription (-0.05 [95% CI, -0.06 to -0.04] days per prescription-month; P < .001), and opioid dosage (-141.0 [95% CI, -219.5 to -62.5] MME per person-month; P = .001; -10.1 [95% CI, -14.6 to -5.6] MME/prescription-month; P < .001). Conversely, a significant increase in VOC-related hospitalizations occurred after the guideline release (0.16 [95% CI, 0.07-0.25] hospitalizations per 100 person-month; P = .001). These changes were observed to a greater extent among adult patients, but pediatric patients experienced similar changes in several measures, even though the guideline focused exclusively on adult patients. Conclusions and Relevance: This retrospective cohort study showed that the 2016 CDC guideline may have had unintended negative outcomes on the patient population living with SCD.

Managing sickle cell disease and related complications in pregnancy: results of an international Delphi panel.

ABSTRACT: Data to guide evidence-based management of pregnant people with sickle cell disease (SCD) are limited. This international Delphi panel aimed to identify consensus among multidisciplinary experts for SCD management during pregnancy. The 2-round Delphi process used questionnaires exploring 7 topics (antenatal care, hydroxyurea use, transfusion, prevention of complications, treatment of complications, delivery and follow-up, and bottlenecks and knowledge gaps) developed by a steering committee. Thirteen panelists (hematologists, physiologists, obstetricians, maternal fetal medicine, and transfusion medicine physicians) from the United States, the United Kingdom, Turkey, and France completed the first survey; 12 panelists completed the second round. Anonymized responses were collected and summarized by a contract research organization (Akkodis Belgium). Consensus and strong consensus were predefined as 75% to 90% (9-10 of 12) and >90% (≥11 of 12) of panelists, respectively, agreeing or disagreeing on a response to a predefined clinical scenario or statement. In several areas of SCD management, consensus was achieved: experts recommended performing at least monthly multidisciplinary antenatal follow-up, administering prophylactic aspirin for preeclampsia prevention between gestational weeks 12 and 36, initiating prophylactic transfusion therapy in certain cases, or choosing automated red blood cell exchange over other transfusion methods for patients with iron overload or severe acute chest syndrome. No consensus was reached on several topics including the prophylactic aspirin dose, indications for starting infection prophylaxis, routine use of prophylactic transfusions, or use of prophylactic transfusions for preventing fetal complications. These recommendations could inform clinical care for patients with SCD who are pregnant in the absence of large clinical trials involving this population; the identified knowledge gaps can orient future research.

Kidney failure outcomes in children and young adults with sickle cell disease in the United States Renal Data System.

BACKGROUND: Children and young adults with sickle cell disease (SCD) develop kidney disease early in childhood, with some patients progressing to require dialysis and kidney transplantation. The prevalence and outcomes of children with kidney failure (chronic kidney disease stage 5) due to SCD are not well described. This study aimed to assess the outcome of children and young adults with SCD with kidney failure compared to matched children and young adults without SCD with kidney failure in a large national database. METHODS: Utilizing the United States Renal Data System (USRDS), we retrospectively examined kidney failure outcomes in children and young adults with SCD from 1998 to 2019. RESULTS: We identified 97 patients with SCD who developed kidney failure and identified 96 matched controls with a median age of 19 years (IQR 17, 21) at the time of kidney failure diagnosis. SCD patients had significantly shorter survival (8.4 years vs. 14.0 years, p < 0.001) and had a longer waiting time for their first transplant when compared to matched non-SCD kidney failure patients (12.1 years vs. 7.3 years, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Children and young adults with SCD kidney failure have significantly higher mortality when matched to non-SCD kidney failure children and experience a longer mean time to kidney transplant.

Comparative pharmacovigilance assessment of adverse events associated with the use of hydroxyurea, L-glutamine, voxelotor, and crizanlizumab in sickle cell disease.

Using disproportionality analysis, this study compared the adverse events (AEs) associated with the use of the new agents (e.g., L-glutamine, voxelotor, and crizanlizumab) to the commonly used medication, hydroxyurea, in sickle cell disease. We found that the most frequent drug-related AEs observed in this real-world study were consistent with those in the HOPE (voxelotor) and SUSTAIN (crizanlizumab) trials, but the rates of AEs were lower. Our study demonstrates that the most common AEs and symptoms of an increased risk associated with the individual drugs varied by treatment. Disproportionate reporting signals of drug-related AEs may also capture information that is independent of subjective measures of patient-reported symptoms. Our study highlights the important need for facilitating patient-physician communication in routine clinical care to understand patient-reported symptoms.

Machine Learning Predicts Acute Kidney Injury in Hospitalized Patients with Sickle Cell Disease.

INTRODUCTION: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common among hospitalized patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) and contributes to increased morbidity and mortality. Early identification and management of AKI is essential to preventing poor outcomes. We aimed to predict AKI earlier in patients with SCD using a machine-learning model that utilized continuous minute-by-minute physiological data. METHODS: A total of6,278 adult SCD patient encounters were admitted to inpatient units across five regional hospitals in Memphis, TN, over 3 years, from July 2017 to December 2020. From these, 1,178 patients were selected after filtering for data availability. AKI was identified in 82 (7%) patient encounters, using the 2012 Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. The remaining 1,096 encounters served as controls. Features derived from five physiological data streams, heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, and mean), captured every minute from bedside monitors were used. An XGBoost classifier was used for classification. RESULTS: Our model accurately predicted AKI up to 12 h before onset with an area under the receiver operator curve (AUROC) of 0.91 (95% CI [0.89-0.93]) and up to 48 h before AKI with an AUROC of 0.82 (95% CI [0.80-0.83]). Patients with AKI were more likely to be female (64.6%) and have history of hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and pneumonia than the control group. CONCLUSION: XGBoost accurately predicted AKI as early as 12 h before onset in hospitalized SCD patients and may enable the development of innovative prevention strategies.

Hydroxyurea at escalated dose versus fixed low-dose hydroxyurea in adults with sickle cell disease.

Hydroxyurea reduces the frequency of vaso-occlusive complications, increases hemoglobin, and decreases mortality in sickle cell disease (SCD). Although current guidelines recommend escalation to maximum tolerated dose (MTD), the use of fixed low-dose hydroxyurea is common in low-resource countries. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of escalated doses versus fixed low-dose of hydroxyurea in adults with SCD. Nine studies were included in the quantitative synthesis, four evaluating fixed low-dose and five evaluating escalated doses of hydroxyurea. Average daily doses of hydroxyurea in the fixed low-dose and escalated dose studies were ~10 and 22 mg/kg, respectively. There was no difference in the estimate of vaso-occlusive crisis rate between escalated and fixed low-dose studies (p = .73). The mean difference in hemoglobin from baseline to follow-up was greater for fixed low-dose than escalated dose studies (1.07 g/dL vs. 0.54 g/dL, p = .01). No difference was seen in the mean estimate of fetal hemoglobin. Despite limited eligible studies and substantial heterogeneity of effect between the studies for several outcomes, there appears to be clinical equipoise regarding the most appropriate hydroxyurea dosing regimen in adults with SCD. Controlled studies of hydroxyurea at MTD versus fixed low-dose in adults with SCD are required.

Using disease-modifying therapies in sickle cell disease.

As curative therapy using allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as well as gene therapy and gene editing remains inaccessible to most patients with sickle cell disease, the availability of drug therapies that are safe, efficacious, and affordable is highly desirable. Increasing progress is being made in developing drug therapies based on our understanding of disease pathophysiology. Four drugs, hydroxyurea, L-glutamine, crizanlizumab, and voxelotor, are currently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, with multiple others at various stages of testing. With the limited efficacy of individual agents, combinations of agents will likely be required for optimal outcomes.

The challenge of clinical end points in sickle cell disease.

As most patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) do not have access to curative therapies, the availability of drug therapies that can modify disease severity remains highly desirable. Despite an increased understanding of the pathophysiology of SCD, only 4 drugs are approved by the US Food and Drugs Administration. Most drug trials in SCD have involved the use of acute pain episodes as the primary clinical end point. These studies have typically been to prevent or shorten the duration of such episodes. To date, no drug has received regulatory approval for shortening the duration of acute vaso-occlusive complications, likely highlighting the complex pathophysiology of acute pain episodes. Trials to prevent acute pain episodes have largely evaluated those episodes requiring health care use as a surrogate end point. However, with differences in culture and health care practices among countries, health care use may not reliably predict clinically important effects on acute pain episodes. This article discusses issues related to the use of health care use as the primary end point for prevention trials of acute pain episodes and highlights the importance of evaluating patient-reported outcomes as well as other SCD-related complications as outcome measures.

Evaluation of treatment patterns, healthcare resource utilization and cost of illness for sickle cell disease in Ghana: a private medical insurance claims database study.

BACKGROUND: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a major public health concern in sub-Saharan Africa, accounting for nearly 75% of the global disease burden. The current analysis evaluated patient characteristics, treatment patterns, healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and associated costs in patients with SCD based on a Private Medical Insurance Database in Ghana. METHODS: This retrospective longitudinal cohort study was conducted using an e-claims database from Ghana (01 January 2015 to 31 March 2021). Patients were stratified by age (0 month to < 2 years, ≥ 2 years to ˂6 years, ≥ 6 years to < 12 years, ≥ 12 years to < 16 years; ≥16 years), vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) (< 1, ≥ 1 to < 3, and ≥ 3 per year), and continuous enrolment. Study outcomes related to patient characteristics, comorbidities, treatment pattern, HCRU were evaluated for pre- and post-index period (index period was between July 2015 to March 2020). Descriptive analysis was used to analyse different study variables. RESULTS: The study included 2,863 patients (mean age: 20.1 years; Min age: 0; Max age: 83; females 56.1%). Overall, 52.2% (n = 1,495) of SCD patients were ≥ 16 years and 17.0% (n = 486) were in the ≥ 2 to ˂6-years age group. The majority of patients aged ≥ 16 years (62.5%) in the database did not have reported VOC episodes, 35.9% of patients had 1 to 3 VOCs per year and 1.5% had ≥ 3 VOCs per year during the follow-up period. Consultation-based prevalence of SCD was 0.5% [95% confidence interval (CI): 0-1.3%] - 1.4% [CI: 0.6-2.2%]. Malaria, upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) and sepsis were the common complications of SCD. Analgesics were the most frequently prescribed medications followed by anti-infectives, hematinics, and antimalarials. Hydroxyurea, a routine standard of care for SCD was under-utilized. SCD patients had median cost incurred for consultation/hospital services of $11.3 (Interquartile range [IQR] $6.2 - $27.2). For patients with VOC, maximum median cost was incurred for medications ($10.9 [IQR $5.0-$32.6]). Overall median healthcare cost was highest for individuals with ≥ 3 VOCs per year during the follow-up period ($166.8 [IQR $70.3-$223.5]). CONCLUSION: In this retrospective private insurance claims database analysis, SCD imposes a significant healthcare burden, especially in patients with VOC. There is a need for reimbursed treatment options that could reduce the long-term burden associated with SCD and VOC.

Age-related differences in risks and outcomes of 30-day readmission in adults with sickle cell disease.

BACKGROUND: Literature on 30-day readmission in adults with sickle cell disease (SCD) is limited. This study examined the overall and age-stratified rates, risk factors, and healthcare resource utilization associated with 30-day readmission in this population. METHODS: Using the Nationwide Readmissions Database, a retrospective cohort study was conducted to identify adult patients (aged ≥ 18) with SCD in 2016. Patients were stratified by age and followed for 30 days to assess readmission following an index discharge. The primary outcome was 30-day unplanned all-cause readmission. Secondary outcomes included index hospitalization costs and readmission outcomes (e.g., time to readmission, readmission costs, and readmission lengths of stay). Separate generalized linear mixed models estimated the adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for associations of readmission with patient and hospital characteristics, overall and by age. RESULTS: Of 15,167 adults with SCD, 2,863 (18.9%) experienced readmission. Both the rates and odds of readmission decreased with increasing age. The SCD complications vaso-occlusive crisis and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) were significantly associated with increased likelihood of readmission (p < 0.05). Age-stratified analyses demonstrated that diagnosis of depression significantly increased risk of readmission among patients aged 18-to-29 years (aOR = 1.537, 95%CI: 1.215-1.945) but not among patients of other ages. All secondary outcomes significantly differed by age (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that patients with SCD are at very high risk of 30-day readmission and that younger adults and those with vaso-occlusive crisis and ESRD are among those at highest risk. Multifaceted, age-specific interventions targeting individuals with SCD on disease management are needed to prevent readmissions.

End Stage Kidney Disease Outcomes in Children and Young Adults with Sickle Cell Disease in the United States Renal Data System.

Background: Children and young adults with sickle cell disease (SCD) develop kidney disease early in childhood with some patients progressing to require dialysis and kidney transplantation. The prevalence and outcomes of children with end stage kidney disease (ESKD) due to SCD is not well described. This study aimed to assess the burden and outcomes of ESKD in children and young adults with SCD in a large national database. Methods: Utilizing the United States Renal Data System (USRDS) we retrospectively examined ESKD outcomes in children and young adults with SCD from 1998 - 2019. Results: We identified 97 patients with SCD that developed ESKD and identified 96 matched controls with median age of 19 years (IQR 17, 21) at time of ESKD diagnosis. SCD patients had significantly shorter survival (7.0 years vs. 12.4 years, p < 0.001) and had a longer waiting time to their first transplant when compared to matched non-SCD-ESKD patients (10.3 years vs. 5.6 years, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Children and young adults with SCD-ESKD have a significantly higher mortality when matched to non-SCD-ESKD children and experience a longer mean time to kidney transplant.

Urinary angiotensinogen is associated with albuminuria in adults with sickle cell anaemia.

We explored the association of novel urinary biomarkers with albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) in adults with sickle cell anaemia. Of 37 participants, 13 (35.2%) had persistent albuminuria (PA). Urinary levels of clusterin (p = 0.002), retinol-binding protein 4 (p = 0.008), alpha-1 microglobulin (p = 0.002) and angiotensinogen (p = 0.006) were significantly higher in participants with PA than in those without PA. Although univariate analysis showed significant associations between both alpha-1 microglobulin (p = 0.035) and angiotensinogen (p = 0.0021) with ACR, only angiotensinogen was associated with ACR in multivariable analysis (p = 0.04). Our results suggest that urinary angiotensinogen may identify sickle cell anaemia patients at risk for kidney disease.

The Evolving Landscape of Drug Therapies for Sickle Cell Disease.

Although sickle cell disease can be cured using allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and possibly gene therapy and gene editing, these treatments remain unavailable to most patients. As understanding of the disease pathophysiology increases, progress is being made in developing drug therapies. Hydroxyurea, l-glutamine, crizanlizumab, and voxelotor are currently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, with multiple others at various stages of testing. With the limited efficacy of individual agents, combinations of agents will likely be required for optimal outcomes. Clinical and surrogate endpoints, other than vaso-occlusive crisis, are increasingly being considered in the evaluation of novel drugs.

Longitudinal study of glomerular hyperfiltration in adults with sickle cell anemia: a multicenter pooled analysis.

Glomerular hyperfiltration is common in young sickle cell anemia patients and precedes development of overt kidney disease. In this multicenter pooled cohort, we characterized hyperfiltration and its decline to normal range in adult patients. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated using the creatinine-based 2009 CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration) equation omitting race adjustment and the 2021 CKD-EPI equation. Using CKD-EPI-2009, 506 patients had baseline estimated GFR (eGFR) ≥90 mL/min per 1.73 m2, median age of 24 (interquartile range [IQR], 19-34) years and 5.17 years of follow-up. The prevalence of hyperfiltration (eGFR ≥140 and ≥130 mL/min per 1.73 m2 for men and women, respectively) was 38.3%. Using CKD-EPI-2009, baseline hyperfiltration was less likely with older age (odds ratio [OR], 0.78; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.73-0.83; P < .0001), male sex (OR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.18-0.58; P = .0002), and higher weight (OR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.94-0.99; P = .001). Using CKD-EPI-2021, hyperfiltration was similarly less likely with older age (OR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.70-0.81; P < .0001), male sex (OR, 0.24; 95% CI, 0.13-0.44; P < .0001), and higher weight (OR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.95-0.99; P = .004). In patients with baseline hyperfiltration, eGFR declined to normal values at a median age of 26.2 years. Using CKD-EPI-2009, this decline was associated with male sex (HR, 2.20; 95% CI, 1.26-3.87; P = .006), systolic blood pressure (hazard ratio [HR], 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01-1.04; P = .01), and hydroxyurea use (HR, 1.74; 95% CI, 1.002-3.03; P = .05). Using CKD-EPI-2021, decline of eGFR to normal was only associated with male sex (HR, 3.39; 95% CI, 2.01-5.69; P < .0001). Decline to normal eGFR range from hyperfiltration occurs earlier in males, those on hydroxyurea, and with higher systolic blood pressure.
