ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the clinical features of patients with lupus nephritis positive for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) and explore the clinical implications of ANCA detection.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Totally 261 patients with lupus nephritis were enrolled in this study, including 53 ANCA-positive and 208 ANCA-negative ones. The clinical data of the patients pertaining to the disease history, physical examination, laboratory examinations and pathological inspection were retrospectively analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with patients negative for ANCA, the ANCA-positive patients had significantly higher incidence of serositis (75.5%), acute renal failure (64.2%), myocarditis (30.2%), neuropsychiatric involvement (26.4%) and lung hemorrhage (7.5%)(P<0.05). Significant differences were also found between the two groups in SLE disease active index (SLE-DAI), number of the diagnostic criteria, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), anemia, anti-Sm antibodies, and serum complement C(3). Most patients positive for ANCA (67.9%) had type IV lupus nephritis with more crescent formation, renal tubular atrophy, hyaline thrombi, and higher mortality rate as well than the negative patients.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>ANCA detection may benefit the estimation of the disease severity and prognostic evaluation of lupus nephritis.</p>
