RESUMO

Background: Henoch-Schönlein purpura, more recently renamed immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV), is a systemic vasculitis characterized by IgA deposits. The current markers used to assess IgAV inaccurately evaluate the risk of nephritis occurrence and its long-term outcomes. The current study assessed biomarkers of nephritis outcomes. Methods: This French multicentre prospective study enrolled 85 adult patients at the time of disease onset. Patients were assessed for clinical and biological parameters and re-examined after 1 year. Immunoglobulins, cytokines, IgA glycosylation, IgA complexes and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) concentrations were assessed in blood and urine. Results: We identified 60 patients with IgAV-related nephritis (IgAV-N) and 25 patients without nephritis (IgAV-woN). At the time of inclusion (Day 1), the serum levels of galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) and urinary concentrations of IgA, IgG, IgM, NGAL, interleukin (IL)-1ß, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IgA-IgG and IgA-sCD89 complexes were higher in the IgAV-N patients than in the IgAV-woN patients (P < 0.005 for all comparisons). After follow-up (1 year), 22 patients showed a poor outcome. Among the tested markers, urine IgA at disease onset adequately reclassified the risk of poor outcome over conventional clinical factors, including estimated glomerular filtration rate, proteinuria and age (continuous net reclassification improvement = 0.72, P = 0.001; integrated discrimination improvement = 0.13, P = 0.009) in IgAV patients. Conclusions: Taken together, these results showed that serum Gd-IgA1 and urinary IgA, IgG, IgM, NGAL, IL-1ß, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IgA-IgG and IgA-sCD89 complexes were associated with nephritis in IgAV patients. Urinary IgA level may improve patient risk stratification for poor outcome.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In late 2018, the production of 51Chromium-labelled ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (51Cr-EDTA), a validated and widely used radio-isotopic tracer for measuring glomerular filtration rate, was halted. Technetium-99m-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) has been validated for GFR measurement with a single bolus injection, a procedure not suitable in patients with extracellular compartment hyperhydration. In such cases, a bolus followed by continuous infusion of the tracer is required. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether 99mTc-DTPA with the infusion protocol can replace 51Cr-EDTA for GFR measurement. METHODS: We conducted a prospective single centre study during February and March 2019. All patients referred for GFR measurement received both radiotracers simultaneously: 51Cr-EDTA and 99mTc-DTPA bolus and continuous infusion were administered concomitantly through the same intravenous route. Over four and a half hours, plasma and urine samples were collected to calculate urinary and plasma clearance. RESULTS: Twenty-two patients were included (mean age 63.4 ± 17.5 years; 68% men). Mean urinary clearance of 51Cr-EDTA and 99mTc-DTPA was 52.4 ± 22.5 mL/min and 52.8 ± 22.6 mL/min, respectively (p = 0.47), with a mean bias of 0.39 ± 2.50 mL/min, an accuracy within 10% of 100% (95% CI 100; 100) and a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.994. Mean plasma clearance of 51Cr-EDTA and 99mTc-DTPA was 54.8 ± 20.9 mL/min and 54.4 ± 20.9 mL/min, respectively (p = 0.61), with a mean bias of - 0.43 ± 3.89 mL/min, an accuracy within 10% of 77% (95% CI 59; 91) and a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.983. CONCLUSIONS: Urinary and plasma clearance of 99mTc-DTPA can be used with the infusion protocol to measure GFR.

RESUMO

Oral alkalization with sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3 ) or citrate is prescribed for conditions ranging from metabolic acidosis to nephrolithiasis. Although most nephrologists/urologists use this method routinely, extracellular volume (ECV) increase is the main feared adverse event reported for NaHCO3 . Thus far, no trial has specifically studied this issue in a real-world setting. AlcalUN (NCT03035812) is a multicentric, prospective, open-label cohort study with nationwide (France) enrollment in 18 (public and private) nephrology/urology units. Participants were adult outpatients requiring chronic (>1 month) oral alkalization by either NaHCO3 -containing or no-NaHCO3 -containing agents. The ECV increase (primary outcome) was judged based on body weight increase (ΔBW), blood pressure increase (ΔBP), and/or new-onset edema at the first follow-up visit (V1). From February 2017 to February 2020, 156 patients were enrolled. After a median 106 days of treatment, 91 (72%) patients reached the primary outcome. They had lower systolic (135 (125, 141) vs. 141 (130, 150), P = 0.02) and diastolic (77 (67, 85) vs. 85 (73, 90), P = 0.03) BP values, a higher plasma chloride (106.0 (105.0, 109.0) vs. 105.0 (102.0, 107.0), P = 0.02) at baseline, and a less frequent history of nephrolithiasis (32 vs. 56%, P = 0.02). Patients experienced mainly slight ΔBP (< 10 mmHg). The primary outcome was not associated (P = 0.79) with the study treatment (129 received NaHCO3 and 27 received citrate). We subsequently developed three different models of propensity score matching; each confirmed our results. Chronic oral alkalization with NaHCO3 is no longer associated with an ECV increase compared to citrate in real-life settings.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Metabolic acidosis is a frequent manifestation of sickle cell disease but the mechanisms and determinants of this disorder are unknown. Our aim was to characterize urinary acidification capacity in adults with sickle cell disease and to identify potential factors associated with decreased capacity to acidify urine. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: Among 25 adults with sickle cell disease and an eGFR of ≥60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 from a single center in France, we performed an acute acidification test after simultaneous administration of furosemide and fludrocortisone. A normal response was defined as a decrease in urinary pH <5.3 and an increase in urinary ammonium excretion ≥33 µEq/min at one or more of the six time points after furosemide and fludrocortisone administration. RESULTS: Of the participants (median [interquartile range] age of 36 [24-43] years old, 17 women), 12 had a normal and 13 had an abnormal response to the test. Among these 13 participants, nine had normal baseline plasma bicarbonate concentration. Plasma aldosterone was within the normal range for all 13 participants with an abnormal response, making the diagnosis of type 4 tubular acidosis unlikely. The participants with an abnormal response to the test were significantly older, more frequently treated with oral bicarbonate, had a higher plasma uric acid concentration, higher hemolysis activity, lower eGFR, lower baseline plasma bicarbonate concentration, higher urine pH, lower urine ammonium ion excretion, and lower fasting urine osmolality than those with a normal response. Considering both groups, the maximum urinary ammonium ion excretion was positively correlated with fasting urine osmolality (r2=0.34, P=0.002), suggesting that participants with sickle cell disease and lower urine concentration capacity have lower urine acidification capacity. CONCLUSIONS: Among adults with sickle cell disease, impaired urinary acidification capacity attributable to distal tubular dysfunction is common and associated with the severity of hyposthenuria.

RESUMO

Henoch-Schönlein purpura is a systemic vasculitis characterized by IgA deposits, which target the skin, joints, and kidneys, among other organs. In children, prognosis is often good but little is known about biomarkers of pediatric nephritis. We hypothesized that biological markers, including cytokines, immunoglobulins, IgA-immune complexes, IgA glycosylation and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), may discriminate IgA vasculitis (IgAV) pediatric patients with renal involvement from those without renal involvement. Fifty children at the time of IgAV rash between 2010 and 2015 were prospectively enrolled and compared to 21 controls. All patients were assessed for clinical and biological parameters at the time of diagnosis, including the levels of cytokines, immunoglobulins, immune complexes, IgA glycosylation and NGAL in serum and urine. Among IgAV patients, 33 patients exhibited nephritis (IgAV-N) and 17 children were without nephritis (IgAV-woN). The serum level of galactose-deficient (Gd)-IgA1 (p<0.01) and the urinary concentrations of IgA, IgG, IgM, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IgA-IgG complexes and IgA-sCD89 complexes (p<0.001 for all) were higher in the IgAV-N patients than in the IgAV-woN patients. Among those markers, urinary IgA and IgM had the highest AUC (0.86 and 0.87 respectively, p<0.0001). This prospective cohort study furthers our understanding of the pathophysiology of IgAV. We identified biomarkers that are able to distinguish patients initially with or without nephritis. To conclude, serum Gd-IgA1 and urinary IgA, IgG, IgM, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and IgA-IgG and IgA-sCD89 complexes could identify IgAV pediatric patients with renal involvement at the time of diagnosis.
