Addition of eGFR and age improves the prognostic absolute renal risk-model in 1,134 norwegian patients with IgA nephropathy
Knoop, Thomas; Vågane, Ann Merethe; Vikse, Bjørn Egil; Svarstad, Einar; Magnusdottir, Bergrun Tinna; Leh, Sabine Maria; Reisæter, Anna Varberg; Bjørneklett, Rune (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-05)Background: Predicting outcome in individual patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is difficult but important. For this purpose, the absolute renal risk (ARR) model has been developed in a French cohort to calculate the ... -
Cancer in ANCA-Associated Glomerulonephritis: A Registry-Based Cohort Study
Sriskandarajah, Sanjeevan; Bostad, Leif; Myklebust, Tor Åge; Møller, Bjørn; Skrede, Steinar; Bjørneklett, Rune (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-12-18)Background. Immunosuppressive therapy for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis has been associated with increased malignancy risk. Objectives. To quantify the cancer risk associated with contemporary ... -
Cardiac Troponin Assays With Improved Analytical Quality: A Trade-Off Between Enhanced Diagnostic Performance and Reduced Long-Term Prognostic Value
Tjora, Hilde Lunde; Steiro, Ole-Thomas; Langørgen, Jørund; Bjørneklett, Rune; Nygård, Ottar; Skadberg, Øyvind; Bonarjee, Vernon; Collinson, Paul; Omland, Torbjørn; Vikenes, Kjell; Aakre, Kristin Moberg (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Cardiac troponin (cTn) permits early rule‐out/rule‐in of patients admitted with possible non–ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction. In this study, we developed an admission and a 0/1 hour rule‐out/rule‐in ... -
Clinical phenotypes and long-term prognosis in white patients with biopsy-verified hypertensive nephrosclerosis
Øvrehus, Marius Altern; Oldereid, Tine Simensen; Dadfar, Aydin; Bjørneklett, Rune; Aasarød, Knut; Fogo, Agnes B.; Ix, Joachim H.; Hallan, Stein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Introduction Hypertensive nephrosclerosis is considered the second most common cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), but it is still an insufficiently studied and controversial disease entity. More information on the ... -
Hypertensive nephrosclerosis: wider kidney biopsy indications may be needed to improve diagnostics
Hallan, Stein; Øvrehus, Marius Altern; Bjørneklett, Rune; Aasarød, Knut Ivar; Fogo, Agnes B.; Ix, Joachim H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-02)Background Hypertensive nephrosclerosis is the presumed underlying cause in many end‐stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients, but the diagnosis is disputed and based on clinical criteria with low diagnostic accuracy. Ob ... -
Impact of proteinase 3 versus myeloperoxidase positivity on risk of end-stage renal disease in ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis stratified by histological classification: A population-based cohort study
Solbakken, Vilde; Fismen, Anne-Siri; Bostad, Leif; Bjørneklett, Rune (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-05-09)Background: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) risk in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody- (ANCA-) associated glomerulonephritis (ANCA-GN) according to ANCA serotype and stratified by histological classification ... -
Improved prognosis in Norwegian patients with glomerulonephritis associated with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies
Sriskandarajah, Sanjeevan; Aasarød, Knut; Skrede, Steinar; Knoop, Thomas; Reisæter, Anna Varberg; Bjørneklett, Rune (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-17)Background. Glomerulonephritis associated with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) is associated with increased mortality and a high risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Here, we investigated whether the ... -

Bjørneklett, Rune; Bostad, Leif; Fismen, Anne-Siri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-05-31)Background. The value of a histologic classification scheme to classify patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis (ANCA-GN) into focal, mixed, crescentic, and sclerotic types for ... -
Prognostic factors in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis with severe glomerular sclerosis: a national registry-based cohort study
Bjørneklett, Rune; Solbakken, Vilde; Bostad, Leif; Fismen, Anne-Siri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-06-03)Background. Classification of patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis (ANCA-GN) into histological classes is useful for predicting a patient’s risk of progression to end-stage renal ...
