Proteinuria Indicates Decreased Normal Glomeruli in ANCA-Associated Glomerulonephritis Independent of Systemic Disease Activity
Background: Renal involvement is a common and severe complication of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV), potentially resulting in a pauci-immune necrotizing and crescentic ANCA glomerulonephritis (GN) with acute kidney injury (AKI), end-stage renal disease (ESRD)...

description | Background: Renal involvement is a common and severe complication of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV), potentially resulting in a pauci-immune necrotizing and crescentic ANCA glomerulonephritis (GN) with acute kidney injury (AKI), end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or death. There is recent evidence that the degree of proteinuria at diagnosis is associated with long-term renal outcome in ANCA GN. Therefore, we here aimed to systematically describe the association between proteinuria and clinicopathological characteristics in 53 renal biopsies with ANCA GN and corresponding urinary samples at admission. Methods: A total number of 53 urinary samples at admission and corresponding renal biopsies with confirmed renal involvement of AAV were retrospectively included from 2015 to 2021 in a single-center study. Results: Proteinuria correlated with myeloperoxidase (MPO) subtype, diagnosis of microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and severe deterioration of kidney function. Proteinuria was most prominent in sclerotic class ANCA GN and ANCA renal risk score (ARRS) high risk attributed to nonselective proteinuria, including both glomerular and tubular proteinuria. Finally, there was no association between proteinuria and systemic disease activity, suggesting that proteinuria reflected specific renal involvement in AAV rather that systemic disease activity. Conclusions: In conclusion, proteinuria correlated with distinct clinicopathological characteristics in ANCA GN, mostly attributed to a reduced fraction of normal glomeruli. Furthermore, proteinuria in ANCA GN reflected specific renal involvement in AAV rather than systemic disease activity. Therefore, urinary findings could further improve our understanding of mechanisms promoting kidney injury and progression of ANCA GN. |
