Noninvasive biomarkers of disease activity are needed to predict disease remission status in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Soluble CD163 (sCD163), shed by monocytes and macrophages, is a potential biomarker in diseases associated with excessive macrophage activation. We investigated the association of urinary sCD163 (u-sCD163) with histopathological activity and clinical manifestations in 349 patients with biopsy-diagnosed IgAN. U-sCD163 was measured via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In patients with IgAN, higher u-sCD163 levels were associated with histological lesions of greater severity, as well as more proteinuria and poorer renal function. Additionally, u-sCD163 was correlated with infiltration of tubulointerstitial CD163+ macrophages. High u-sCD163 levels (>3.57 ng/mg Cr) were associated with a 2.66-fold greater risk for IgAN remission failure in adjusted analyses. Adding u-sCD163 levels to the model containing clinical data at biopsy and MEST-C score significantly improved the risk prediction of IgAN remission status (AUC 0.788). Together, our results suggest that u-sCD163 may be a useful noninvasive biomarker to evaluate disease severity and remission status of IgAN.
