ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinicopathological relation between the TNF-? and IgA nephropathy. Methods TNF-? levels in serum, urine and renal tissues of 50 patients with IgA nephropathy were measured, and 10 patients with minimal change nephrotic syndrome(MCNS) and 10 healthy subjects served as negative control group. Results The serum and urine levels of TNF-? in the patients with IgA nephropathy were significantly higher than those in the patients with MCNS and healthy subjects, and had a significant positive correlation with the degree of proteinuria and renal demage. TNF-? expression was mainly localized in the cytoplasm of the proximal renal tubular epithelial cells, and the interstitium with more monocyte-macrophages infiltration. Conclusion TNF-? took part in the onset of hematuria and proteinuria, was correlated with the degree of renal damage, and played an important role in the aggravation of IgA nephropathy.
