Poor histological lesions in IgA nephropathy may be reflected in blood and urine peptide profiling

چکیده
BACKGROUND IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide, leading to renal failure in 15% to 40% of cases. IgAN is diagnosed by renal biopsy, an invasive method that is not risk-free. We used blood and urine peptide profiles as a noninvasive method of linking IgAN-associated changes with histological lesions by Oxford classification. METHODS We prospectively studied 19 patients with biopsy-proven IgAN and 14 healthy subjects from 2006 to 2009, excluding subjects with crescentic glomerulonephritis and collecting clinical and biochemical data at the time of diagnosis and during follow-up (24 months). Histological lesions were evaluated by Oxford classification. Proteomic analysis was performed by combining magnetic bead (MB) technology and mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to obtain peptide profiles. Doubling of serum creatinine was considered a variable of poor renal prognosis. RESULTS We identified 55 peptides-13 in serum, 26 in plasma, and 16 in urine-that differentiated IgAN patients from healthy subjects. A significant association was noted between serum/plasma and urine peptides and histological findings-ie, tubulointerstitial damage, segmental glomerulosclerosis, and endocapillary injury. CONCLUSIONS In patients with IgAN, the use of noninvasive approaches, such as blood and urine proteomics, can provide valuable information beyond that of standard diagnostic techniques, allowing us to identify blood and urine peptide profiles that are associated with poor histological lesions in IgAN patients.

Histological changes of kidney in diabetic nephropathy
Diabetes mellitus is the most common cause of chronic renal disorders and end-stage kidney disease in developed countries. It is the major cause of dialysis and transplantation. Failure in renal function causes wide disorders in the body. Diabetes results in wide range of alterations in the renal tissue. It is believed that early histological changes in diabetic nephropathy are detectabl...

متن کاملA novel simpler histological classification for renal survival in IgA nephropathy: a retrospective study.
BACKGROUND Patients with immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy may progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) within 10 to 20 years after renal biopsy. We evaluated factors associated with long-term renal survival by using a novel simplified histological classification. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 437 patients (296 men, 141 women) with IgA nephropathy seen at our s...
