dc.description.abstract | Background
Data on the activation of the acute inflammatory response and its clinicopathological associations in idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) are scarce and discordant.
Objective
To analyse the associations between the activation of the inflammatory response, the clinicopathological characteristics of disease and the response to treatment with steroids in patients with INS.
Methods
A total of 101 patients with INS due to minimal change disease (MCD; n = 44), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS; n = 33) and membranous nephropathy (MN; n = 24) and 50 healthy controls were included. At diagnosis, we measured the levels of haemopexin (Hx), haptoglobin (Hgl), interleukin-6 (IL-6), soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), soluble IL-1 receptor, interferon-γ and C-reactive protein. We analysed their clinicopathological associations. In MCD and FSGS patients, we determined the association between the levels of these variables and steroid resistance.
Results
The levels of Hx, Hgl, TNF-α, suPAR and IL-6 were higher in patients with INS than in healthy controls, and were not associated with proteinuria, estimated glomerular filtration rate or serum albumin. In MCD and FSGS patients, Hx, Hgl, IL-6 and TNF-α levels were similar and significantly higher than in MN patients. In patients with MCD and FSGS, multivariate analyses identified FSGS and the levels of Hx, Hgl or IL-6 as independent predictors of steroid resistance.
Conclusions
The activation of the inflammatory response in patients with INS is heterogeneous and more prevalent in MCD or FSGS patients than in those with MN. In MCD and FSGS, elevated levels of Hx, Hgl or IL-6 are independently associated with steroid resistance. |
