ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical significance and histological origin of glomerular epithelial proliferative lesion in patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). MethodsSeventy-four patients with idiopathic FSGS hospitalized in Peking University First Hospital from Jan. 2000 to Dec.2005 were enrolled in this study. Patients were classified into two groups according to with or without glomerular epithelial proliferative lesion. Estimation of active and chronic pathological scores was carried out using a semi-quantitative grade system by two pathologists. Clinical and pathological characteristics were compared between two groups. Immunohistochemical studies were performed to analyze the histological origin of glomerular epithelial proliferative lesion. ResultsThirty-one patients with glomerular epithelial proliferative lesion showed shorter interval from presentation to biopsy (P<0.05), higher percentage of nephrotic syndrome (NS) (P<0.05), higher frequency of segmental glomerulosclerosis(P<0.05), higher pathological active scores (P<0.05) and lower pathological chronic scores (P<0.05)as compared to 43 patients without glomerular epithelial proliferative lesion. Twenty-nine patients were followed up and renal survival rate in patients with glomerular epithelial proliferative lesion (39.7%) was significantly lower than that in patients without glomerular epithelial proliferative lesion (83.3%) (P=0.049). The frequency of glomerular epithelial proliferative lesion and the serum creatinine (Scr) level at biopsy were independent predictors of ESRD (OR value was 1.204, 1.008 respectively ). Glomerular epithelial proliferative lesion did not express mature podocyte markers including WT-1 and pedocalyxin, but stained positive for PCNA, PAX-2 and CK-8. ConclusionsGlomerular epithelial proliferative lesion represents the pathological change of acute stage and active lesion of FSGS, and also may be the pathological marker of severe clinical presentation and worse renal survival. Glomerular epithelial proliferative lesion may be derived from proliferation of parietal epithelial proliferation or de-differentiated podocytes.
