ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the long-term outcome and prognostic indicators of diffuse pro-liferative lupus nephritis (DPLN).Methods:The primary endpoint of long-term follow-up and factors pos- sibly influencing the outcome were analyzed retrospectively in DPLN patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University between Jan 1, 2000 and Dec 31, 2014. Patients were classified into three groups according to the evaluated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) on the first day of admission: eGFR≥60 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2 (regular illness group); 15 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2≤eGFR<60 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2 (serious illness group); eGFR<15 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2 or dialysis (critical illness group). Clinical, histological, and outcome differences among the three groups were evaluated and compared using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) , χ2 test, Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Cox reggression analysis. Results:167 DPLN patients were studied [155 women; mean age (30±10) years; mean follow-up of (61±45) months]. Renal and patient survival of all patients was 86% at 5 years and 79% at 10 years. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed the renal and patient survival rate at 10 years in the regular illness group, serious illness group and critical illness group was 91%, 70% and 8%, respectively ( χ2=121.93, P<0.01, overall); regular illness group vs serious illness group ( χ2=4.05, P<0.05); regular illness group vs critical illness group ( χ2=97.05, P<0.01); serious illness group vs critical illness group ( χ2=52.28, P<0.01). Multivariable Cox regression analysis found that haematoglobin (Hb)<80 g/L [ HR=2.7, 95% CI(1.2, 6.3), P=0.019], eGFR<60 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2 [ HR=4.1, 95% CI(2.0, 8.2), P<0.01] and large crescents ≥30%[ HR=1.8, 95% CI (1.1, 2.9), P=0.021], were risk factors for the long-term outcome. Conclusion:DPLN patients with normal or slightly decreased renal function have a better long-term prognosis. Moderate to severe impairment of renal function, anemia and large crescents are associated with poor outcome.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the clinico-pathological characteristics, outcomes and their predictors in malignant hypertension related kidney injury with and without primary glomerular diseases.@*Methods@#Patients with clinical diagnosis of malignant hypertension, biopsy-proven kidney injury caused by malignant hypertension and complete clinical data from January 2010 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. According to clinical and renal pathology, patients were divided into malignant hypertension related kidney injury without primary nephropathy group and with primary nephropathy group. Clinico-pathological characteristics and outcomes were evaluated and compared between malignant hypertension related kidney injury with and without primary glomerular diseases.@*Results@#Totally 31 biopsy-proven kidney injury patients were analyzed. Among them, there were 18 cases with primary glomerular diseases and 13 cases without primary glomerular diseases, with age of (32.5±6.5) years old and (34.7±8.1) years old, respectively. There were 12 males in both group. The proportion of primary IgA nephropathy was higher (16/18) in the group of malignant hypertension related kidney injury with primary glomerular diseases. Malignant hypertension with primary glomerular diseases patients had lower plasma albunin level [(32.7±6.4) g/L vs (38.5±7.3) g/L, P=0.027], higher 24-hour proteinuria level [(4.03±2.71) g vs (1.45±0.98) g, P=0.002] and higher incidence rates of dysmorphic hematuria (14/18 vs 0, P=0.001) than those without primary glomerular diseases patients. Glomerular sclerosis, mesangial proliferation, tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis were more severe in malignant hypertension with primary glomerular diseases patients (all P<0.05), but the ischemic wrinkling of glomerular capillary was more severe in malignant hypertension without primary glomerular diseases (P<0.01). There were no differences of acute or chronic malignant hypertensive injury in small artery and in afferent arterioles between the two groups. Cox regression analysis showed that loss of brush-border with flattening of tubular epithelium was the predictor for renal partial recovery (HR=5.956, 95% CI 1.198-29.614, P=0.029). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that malignant hypertension patients with primary glomerular diseases had shorter renal survival time than those without primary glomerular diseases [(24.1±9.3) months vs (56.6±12.4) months], and accumulative renal survival rate of malignant hypertension patients with primary glomerular diseases was lower than that without primary glomerular diseases (11.6% vs 53.3%, Log-rank χ2=5.022, P=0.025). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that severe tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis were independent risk factors for end-stage renal disease in malignant hypertension patients (HR=5.870, 95% CI 1.372-25.112, P=0.017).@*Conclusions@#Malignant hypertension with primary glomerular diseases patients have more severe clinico-pathological renal impairment and poorer prognosis of long-term renal survival than those without primary glomerular diseases. Acute renal tubular injury (loss of brush-border with flattening of tubular epithelium) is the only predictor of renal function improvement in patients with malignant hypertension and renal impairment within one year. Tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis is a risk factor for end-stage renal disease in patients with malignant hypertension. Renal biopsy is an indispensable tool for predicting short-term and long-term renal outcomes.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between Klotho and autophagy in sepsisinduced acute kidney injury mice model.Methods The male healthy Balb/c mice were used to establish the model of sepsis-induced acute kidney injury by using cecal ligation and puncture (CLP).Mice were sacrificed at 3 h,6 h,12 h,1 d,2 d,3 d,and 5 d after CLP (n =12 for each interval) and on 1 d 6 mice in sham group as well as 6 mice in normal group were sacrificed at the same time.Scr and BUN in the blood serum were detected.The HE and PAS staining were employed for observation on the histopathological changes in kidney tissues under light microscope.The autophagosomes were observed under transmission electron microscope (TEM).The renal protein of Klotho,LC3 and P62 were detected by using Western blot and Immunohistochemistry.Statistical analyses were performed using Student's t-test by SPSS 23.0.software.Results Scr and BUN increased significantly after CLP,especially on 1 d,respectively (165.64 ± 20.56) μmol/L and (45.51 ± 4.05) mmol/L.HE and PAS staining showed renal tissue was damaged obviously 1 d after CLP,as indicated by desquamation of the brush border of proximal tubular epithelial cells,appearance of bare basement membrane,and interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration.Under TEM,autophagosomes and phagocytosis were observed.Compared with sham group,the expression of Klotho protein decreased gradually from 3 h to 1 d and dropped to the trough at 1 d (t =51.851,P <0.01),then resumed gradually from 2 d to 5 d.On the contrary,the activation of autophagy increased as indicated by the expression of LC3-Ⅱ/L3-Ⅰ and p62.Autophagy was induced gradually from 3 h to 1 d and reached peak at 1 d,then declined gradually from 2 d to 5 d (P < 0.01).The protein of Klotho and LC3-Ⅱ mainly distributed in renal tubular cytoplasm,and Klotho was reduced significantly (t =-8.371,P < 0.01) and LC3-Ⅱ appeared in high density remarkably (t =4.995,P =0.001) on 1 d after CLP.Conclusions Klotho protein reduction and autophagy protein increase were observed in sepsis-induced acute kidney injury,and the expressions of Klotho and autophagy acted out in certain extent of time dependence.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations,laboratory findings and renal patho logic changes,as well as their relationships in patients with lupus nephritis (LN).Methods According to the latest classification criteria of lupus nephritis,the clinical manifestations,laboratory findings and renal patho logic changes and their relationships of 281 cases of biopsy proven LN were retrospectively analyzed.Results Totally 281 cases of LN patients were enrolled in total.The ratio of male to female was 1∶9.7.Proteinuria ac companied with hematuria (35.2%) and nephrotie syndrome (33.8%) were the main clinical manifestations. The most common renal pathological change was type Ⅳ LN (35.9%) and type Ⅲ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ accounting for 89.0% totally.The main pathologic changes of nephrotic syndrome were type Ⅳ and Ⅴ,while those who ac companied with renal dysfunction were mainly type Ⅵ and Ⅳ.Most simple hematuria cases showed mild renal injury.However,type Ⅳ and Ⅴ accounted for 40.4% in the 47 cases of LN whose 24 hours urine protein< 1.0 g and with normal renal function.Most severe proteinuria was found in Type Ⅴ and higher serum creatinine and anti-dsDNA antibody level were found in type Ⅵ and Ⅳ.The lowest lever of serum complement 3 (C3) was found in type Ⅳ.The amount of 24 hours urine protein showed negative correlation with semm C3 but positive correlation with serum creatinine.Serum C3 demonstrated negative relationship with serum creatinine and anti-dsDNA antibody,while serum creatinine was positively related to anti-dsDNA antibody level. Conclusion The major renal pathological lesions of LN are type Ⅲ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ.There are associations be tween clinical and pathological changes,but axe not always consistent.Proteinuria,low serum C3 and high an ti-dsDNA antibody level may provide clue to severe and active LN.Renal biopsy is important in the diagnosis and progression evaluation of LN.
