ABSTRACT

Objective:

To investigate the clinicopathological features, treatment and short-term prognosis of diffuse endocapillary proliferative Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis (DEP-HSPN) in children.

Methods:

Clinicopathological data of children with DEP-HSPN diagnosed by renal biopsy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2012 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Children with HSPN with segmental endocapillary proliferation (non DEP-HSPN) and matched with the gender, age and pathological grade at the ratio of 1∶2 in the same period were recruited as controls.

Results:

(1) A total of 42 cases of DEP-HSPN were pathologically confirmed, accounting for 5.9% of the 712 children with HSPN during the same period.Thirty-nine newly treated cases were included, with the mean age of (8.9±3.2) years old, and the gender ratio was 1.79∶1.00.There were 21 cases of nephrotic syndrome, 14 cases of hematuria and albuminuria, 2 cases of acute glomerulonephritis, 1 case of rapid progressive nephritis and 1 case of isolated proteinuria.Pathological findings were accompanied by diffuse prolife-ration of mesangial and endocapillary.There were 13, 22 and 4 cases with pathological gradeⅡb, Ⅲb and Ⅳb, respectively.(2) Compared with non DEP-HSPN subjects, DEP-HSPN patients had a shorter course from renal symptoms to renal biopsy, and a higher incidence of nephrotic albuminuria, hypoalbuminemia, hypocomplementemia, hypertension and anemia.The main clinical type was nephrotic syndrome.The levels of D-dimer, 24-hour urinary protein (24 h UP) and urea nitrogen were significantly higher in DEP-HSPN group ( Z=-2.416, -2.595, -2.019, all P<0.05), while the red blood cells, hemoglobin, serum albumin, C 3 and glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were significantly lower ( t=-2.499, -3.746, 2.836, -3.410, 3.236, all P<0.05). Besides, the glomerular C 3 deposition was higher than those in non DEP-HSPN subjects ( Z=-1.977, P<0.05). (3)The urinary protein remission rate in DEP-HSPN group was significantly reduced at 1 month follow-up [37.0%(10/27 cases) vs.62.5%(40/64 cases), P<0.05]. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups at 3 months, and the urinary protein remission was relieved at 6 months in both groups.There was no significant difference in hematuria remission between the 2 groups at the end of follow-up.

Conclusions:

Clinical manifestation of DEP-HSPN is severe, which is easy to be complicated with hypertension, anemia, hypocomplementemia C 3 and so on, and the hypercoagulable state is obvious.The degree of glomerular complement C 3 deposition was high in DEP-HSPN group.Urinary protein can be relieved slowly within 1 month after active treatment, but can be relieved at 6 months.
