Abstract:
Objective To study the expression of interleukin-13(IL-13) in renal tissues of several common pathologic types of primary glomerulonephritis(PGN).Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to examine the expression of IL-13 in renal tissues of 81 patients with PGN and 10 normal control cases.The correlation analysis was performed with biochemical and pathological indicators.Results Extensive expression of IL-13 was found in renal tissues of patients with PGN.The expression of IL-13 in renal tissues was positively correlated with the concentration of blood urea nitrogen,serum creatinine,the quantitation of urine protein and the crescent formation in glomerular(r=0.325,0.275,0.291,0.231,respectively).It was negatively correlated with glomerular filtration rate and serum albumin(r=-0.448,-0.296,respectively).Conclusion IL-13 participates in the process of inflammation reaction and crescent formation in the renal tissues in patients with PGN,and is correlated with the progression of renal function and the level of urea protein.
