Objective To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of IgA nephropathy combined with hyperuricemia in order to reveal the clinical significance of IgA nephropathy associated with hyperuricemia.Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 270 patients with IgA nephropathy diagnosed by renal biopsy from June 2006 to December 2012.The patients were divided into the two groups:IgA nephropathy patients with or without hyperuricemia.The sex,age,systolic blood pressure,24-h urine protein,serum uric acid,and serum creatinine were measured.All patients underwent renal pathological examination and Lee’s classification.A comparative analysis of clinical manifestations and renal pathological injuries was performed between the two groups,and the pathological parameters of patients with normal renal function were further analyzed.Results The prevalence of hyperuricemia in patients with IgA nephropathy was 25.19%.The systolic blood pressure,24-h urine protein and serum creatinine level were higher in the hyperuricemia group than in the normal group.The renal pathological changes in the hyperuricemia group were more severe than those in the normal uric acid group.The proportion of renal tubular interstitial lesions and renal artery lesions in the hyperuricemia group was higher than in the normal renal function group.The proportion of renal artery stenosis and renal tubular interstitial chronic lesions in the patients with hyperuricemia group was higher than in normal serum uric acid group.Conclusions The clinical manifestations and renal pathological changes of patients with IgA nephropathy combined with hyperuricemia are more serious than those with normal serum uric acid level,in particular,the effects of renal tubular interstitial lesions and renal vascular lesions were more obvious,and the clinical prognosis is not good.Timely and effective treatments are needed.
Objective Although idiopathic membranous nephropathy(IMN) is a common cause of adult-onset nephrotic syndrome,its treatment remains controversial.Recent studies show tacrolimus is effective in the treatment of IMN.This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tacrolimus(TAC) combined with glucocorticoids in patients with IMN.Methods Twenty patients with biopsy-proven IMN were collected in this retrospective study.TAC was given at 0.05-0.1 mg·kg-1·day-1 initially,in combination with oral administration of glucocorticoids(prednisone 0.5 mg·kg-1·day-1 or methylprednisolone 0.4 mg·kg-1·day-1).The primary outcome was the remission rate,whereas the secondary outcomes included the changes in serum albumin levels and daily urinary protein levels,and adverse events.Results After treatment with TAC combined with glucocorticoids for 3 months,the albumin levels had a significant improvement[(23.57 ± 4.51) g/L vs.(33.16 ±6.87) g/L,P<0.05],and the proteinuria had a significant decrease[(6.74 ± 3.08)g vs.(3.69 ±2.65) g,P<0.05].At the 6th month post-therapy,the albumin levels were significantly improved[(23.57 ± 4.51) g/L vs.(36.96 ± 6.63) g/L,P<0.05],and the proteinuria was significantly decreased[(6.74 ± 3.08) g vs.(2.48 ± 2.21) g,P<0.05].At the 12 th month post-therapy,the albumin levels were significantly improved[(23.57 ± 4.51) g/L vs.(37.30 ± 7.62) g/L,P<0.05],and the proteinuria was significantly decreased[(6.74 ± 3.08) g vs.(2.19 ± 2.10) g,P<0.05].At the end of the 18-month therapy,the albumin levels were significantly improved[(23.57 ± 4.51) g/L vs.(39.84 ± 4.31) g/L,P<0.05],and the proteinuria was significantly decreased[(6.74 ± 3.08) g vs.(1.26± 1.42) g,P<0.05].After treatment for 18 months,complete remission(CR) was achieved in 45%(9/20) of the patients and partial remission(PR) in 40%(8/20),yielding a final response rate of 85%(17/20).Two patients experienced relapses during the follow-up period of 12 month.There were no significant changes in creatinine,transaminase and glucose in blood.The patients had no serious adverse reactions during the treatment Conclusions In this study,treatment with tacrolimus showed a good efficacy with mild adverse reactions in patients with IMN.

To elucidate the incidence of renal impairment in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients on adefovir dipivoxil (ADV). We retrospectively enrolled 127 CHB patients on ADV alone (38.6%) or in combination with lamivudine (61.4%) for over 12 months.Renal function was measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). And renal dysfunction was defined as mild ( 50%). During a treatment duration of 12 months, 2 patients (1.6%) developed mild renal impairment.At Month 36, there were 13 patients with renal damage (10.4%) and one case of hypertension with severe renal impairment plus bone pain.The characteristic of renal pathology was tubule injury.Modification of dosing interval or discontinuation of ADV may arrest a further decline of eGFR in CHB patients.

Objective:To explore the effect and mechanism of all-trans retinoic acid(atRA) on the fibrosis of kidney in STZ-induced diabetic rats.Methods:38 rats injected with streptozotocin(STZ) were randomly divided into model group(DM)and therapy group(DM+atRA).Other 12 normal rats were used as control group(NC).The rats in DM+atRA group were administrated atRA at a dosage of 20 mg·kg-1·d-1,and other rats were treated with normal saline.24 h urinary protein(Ualb),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),creatinine clearance(Ccr),the ratio of renal weight/body weight(KW/BW)and renal pathological changes was evaluated.The expression of collagen were tested by immunohistochemisty technique 8 and 12 weeks after treated.Results:24h Ualb、BUN、Ccr,the ratio of left renal weight/body weight were significantly lower in DM+atRA group than in DM group(P<0.05).The expressions of collagen Ⅲ and Ⅳ of kidney in DM+atRA group were significantly lower than those in DM group(P<0.01).AtRA improved obviously the renal pathological changes in rats with diabetic nephropathy.Conclusion:AtRA can relieve renal injury and inhibit renal fibrosis in rats with diabetic nephropathy induced by STZ,which might be related to the down-regulation of the expression of collagen Ⅲ and Ⅳ in kidney.
目的:研究人血白蛋白对人近端肾小管上皮细胞(HK-2)血管紧张素转换酶2(ACE2)及血管紧张素转换酶(ACE)表达的影响,探讨白蛋白对肾脏损害的机制。方法:不同浓度人血白蛋白(0、1、5、10、15g/L)分别加入到培养的人近端肾小管上皮细胞培养48h,用RT-PCR法和Western blotting法分别检测HK-2细胞ACE2和ACEmRNA和蛋白表达。结果:正常培养状态下HK-2细胞(空白对照组)存在ACE2mRNA和蛋白表达,加入不同浓度(5-15g/L)的人血白蛋白剂量依赖抑制HK-2细胞ACE2mRNA和蛋白表达(P<0.01)。正常培养状态下HK-2细胞ACEmRNA和蛋白表达水平较低,随着加入白蛋白浓度的增加其表达水平逐渐升高,10g/L白蛋白显著促进了HK-2细胞ACEmRNA和蛋白表达(P<0.05)。结论:在体外培养的HK-2细胞存在ACE及ACE2mRNA和蛋白表达,人血白蛋白可抑制其ACE2表达而促进ACE表达,这可能是白蛋白促肾小管间质损伤及肾小球硬化、间质纤维化的机制之一。
