<sec><title>INTRODUCTION</title>While bronchiectasis is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes, data regarding its impact on long-term renal outcomes is lacking.</sec><sec><title>METHODS</title>We reviewed bronchiectasis patients followed up at Queen Mary Hospital in 2017 and examined their clinical/renal outcomes in the subsequent five years. The relationships between the severity of bronchiectasis as defined by FACED (FEV1, Age, Chronic colonisation, Extension, Dyspnoea) scores and adverse renal outcomes were evaluated.</sec><sec><title>RESULTS</title>A total of 315 bronchiectasis patients were included. Seventy-five patients (23.8%) showed renal progression. Baseline FACED score showed a positive correlation with renal progression over 5 years of follow-up (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.30 (95% CI 1.083-1.559, P = 0.005). Patients with moderate-to-severe bronchiectasis (FACED score ≥3) showed an increased risk of renal progression (aOR 1.833, 95% CI 1.082-3.106; P = 0.024) and more rapid decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate than those with mild disease (-4.77 ± 4.19 mL/min/1.73 m²/year vs. -3.49 ± 3.94 mL/min/1.73 m²/year; P = 0.006). Patients who developed renal progression had a higher risk of death (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 3.056, 95% CI 1.505-6.206; P = 0.002) and subsequent rates of hospitalisation (1.56 ± 2.81 episodes/year vs. 0.60 ± 1.18 episodes/year; P < 0.001) compared to those without renal progression.</sec><sec><title>CONCLUSIONS</title>Progressive renal function deterioration is prevalent among bronchiectasis patients, and the severity of bronchiectasis is a robust predictor of renal progression.</sec>.
