Abstract

Glomerular diseases (GDs) impose a substantial burden on patients and health systems, and they are a major cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) worldwide.1 The causes and clinical features of GD are diverse, yet as a group they share many symptoms, treatments, and outcomes (Table 1). Patients with primary and secondary GDs have mortality rates 2.7- and 3.9-fold higher than the general population, respectively, higher rates of cardiovascular events, and they report impaired quality of life.1 Treatment side effects may include diabetes, poor bone health, obesity, infection, reduced fertility, and cancer, and also affect quality of life. Prognostic uncertainty and the potential for disease progression contribute to a substantial psychological burden for patients with GD.
