Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the correlation among clinical manifestations, pathological changes and immunofluorescence in children with primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN).Methods:The data of a total of 222 cases diagnosed with IgAN by the Department of Nephrology, Jiangxi Children′s Hospital in recent 10 years were collected for the analysis of clinical and pathological features and their correlation.Results:(1)Immunofluorescence showed that 115 cases (51.8%) IgA patients had only mesangial deposition, and 107 cases (48.2%) IgA patients had both mesangial deposition and capillary loop deposition.Most IgA patients (122 cases, 55.0%) had immunofluorescence intensity+ + .In IgA patients, IgM deposition was the most common [168 cases (75.7%)], followed by C 3 deposition [160 cases (72.1%)]. Patients with C 4 deposition were the least[7 cases (3.2%)]. (2) Hypertension were positively correlated with IgM, C 3 deposition, IgA deposition intensity and IgA with vascular loop deposition(all P<0.05). Hyperuricemia was positively correlated with IgM deposition, IgG deposition, C 3 deposition and IgA with vascular loop deposition(all P<0.05); hypoalbuminemia was negatively correlated with IgM deposition, C 3 deposition, IgA deposition intensity and IgA with vascular loop deposition(all P<0.05). Hypercholesterolemia were positively correlated with C 3 deposition and IgA with vascular loop deposition(all P<0.05). Urine protein quantification were positively related to IgM, IgG and IgA with vascular loop deposition (all P<0.05). The estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)was negatively related to IgA with vascular loop deposition( P<0.05). (3) Lee′s grade were positively correlated with IgM and C 3 deposition, IgA deposition intensity and IgA with capillary loop deposition(all P<0.05). (4) Oxford type mesangial hypercellularity(M1)were positively correlated with C 3 deposition and IgA deposition intensity(all P<0.001). Endocapillary hypercellularity(E1)lesions were positively correlated with IgA deposition intensity and IgA with capilla-ry loop deposition(all P<0.05). Segmental glomerulosclerosis(S1)lesions had no correlation with immunofluorescence pathology.Tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis(T1)was positively correlated with IgG and C 3 deposition(all P<0.05). (5) There was no correlation between glomerulosclerosis and immunofluorescence pathology.Crescent was positively correlated with IgM deposition, IgG deposition, C 3 deposition, IgA deposition intensity and IgA capillary loop deposition(all P<0.05). Renal artery thickening was positively correlated with IgG deposition and IgA capillary loop deposition(all P<0.05). Conclusions:IgA intensity of + + and IgM deposition are most commonly found in immunofluorescence of children with primary IgAN.IgA patients with capillary loops or C 3 deposition have more severe clinical manifestations and light microscopy results.
