ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
In order to evaluate the value of the renal expression of ICAM-1 as a marker of renal injury, we analyzed the relationship between abnormal tubular expression of ICAM-1 and histopathological features and clinical manifestations in children with IgA nephropathy (IgAN).METHODS:
The clinical data from 43 patients with IgAN were analyzed retrospectively and compared to the histopathologic subclassification proposed by Haas. ICAM-1 in tubular epithelium was assessed using the LSAB(Labeled streptavidine biotin) kit on the renal biopsy specimens.RESULTS:
In 43 patients with primary IgAN, 28 males and 15 females aged 12.2+/-2.2 years were studied. There were no differences of renal tubular expression of ICAM-1 between patients with gross hematuria and without gross hematuria. But renal tubular expression of ICAM-1 in patients with proteinuria was significantly higher than that of in patients without proteinuria(78.72+/-14.19% vs. 55.80+/-32.20%, P0.05; F=0.31, P>0.05; F=0.21, P>0.05).CONCLUSION:
Renal tubular expression of ICAM-1 can be a useful marker of renal injury in children with IgAN.
