Abstract:
Objective To explore the change and clinical significance of serum Cystain-C in children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura(HSP).Methods Thirty-three children diagnosed HSP according to the domestic criteria hospitalized in department of pediatrics were enrolled in patient group and 31 children outpatients during the corresponding time period as controls.Venous blood of each child in 2 groups was collected in the day of admission,serum Cystain-C was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,plasma D-dimer was measured by gold standard double antibody sandwich method,and blood urea nitrogen(BUN) and serum creatinine(Scr) were detected by automatic biochemistry analyzer.At the same time each child undertook routine urine examination.Data was analyzed by Stata 8.0 software.Results 1.BUN and Scr of 2 groups were both normal.2.Proteinuria or hematuria was found in 15 of all 33 patients through routine urianlysis,and the detection rate was 45%.3.The pre-and post-therapy level of serum cystain-C[(3.83?0.83) mg/L,(3.76?1.02) mg/L] and plasma D-dimer [(1.93?2.05) mg/L,(0.77?0.79) mg/L] in HSP group were higher than that in controls [(1.21?0.43) mg/L,(0.13?0.07) mg/L] significantly (P0.05).5.In HSP group,the level of plasma D-dimer pretherapy was significantly higher than that of post-therapy(P0.05).Conclusion The level of serum Cystain-C can act as the significant indicator of early diagnosis and continuous observation of HSP nephritis.
