Abstract:
Objective To examine the clinical features and long - term outcome of pediatric IgA nephropathy and to explore the clinical effect of Mycophenolate Mofetil(MMF)and Cyclophosphomide(CTX)in children with IgA nephropathy with nephrotic syndrome(NS). Methods A single - centre,retrospective,observational study of 115 chil-dren with IgA nephropathy from 2004 to 2013 in Pediatric Nephrology of Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University was conducted. Demographic and clinical data were reviewed retrospectively for age,sex,medical history,presenting symptoms,medications,follow - up duration and the responsiveness to treatment. Results In all children,NS occurred in 20(17. 4% ). There were 35 patients(30. 4% )with non - NS and 60 patients(52. 2% )with isolated hematuria. No special treatment in patients with IgA nephropathy with isolated hematuria. Among patients with proteinuria less than 20 mg/(kg·d),12 patients were treated with angiotensin - converting - enzyme - inhibitor(ACEI),8 patients were trea-ted with ACEI and corticosteroid. At all time points,mean proteinuria was significantly decreased in ACEI and cortico-steroid group compared with ACEI group(P ﹤ 0. 001). Patients with 20 - 49 mg/(kg·d)proteinuria were treated with ACEI and corticosteroid. At all time points,mean proteinuria was significantly decreased compared with the prior time point. Patients with NS were treated with MMF and corticosteroid or CTX and corticosteroid. Eleven patients were trea-ted with MMF,9 patients were treated with CTX. A significantly difference was seen after 3 months in proteinuria greater decrease from pretreatment in CTX group than those in MMF group(P ﹤ 0. 001). No significant difference in proteinuria was observed at other time point. No significant change in white blood cell count was observed in MMF group and CTX group. No serious complication developed in any patient during treatment. During the median follow - up of 35. 2 months (range 4. 0 - 124. 6 months),no patient progressed to end stage renal disease. Conclusions IgA nephropathy patients with isolated hematuria should be long - term followed up. Children with non - nephrotic - range proteinuria should be treated with ACEI or corticosteroid. Patients with NS should be treated with corticosteroid and MMF or CTX. The long -term prognosis within 3 - 5 years should be good if proteinuria within normal range in pediatric IgA nephropathy pa-tients.
