Abstract:
0bjective To analyze the clinical characteristics, pathological types, treatment and prognosis in children with steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) in Northwest China, in order to provide reference for the treatment of SRNS. Methods:The clinical data, renal pathological results, treatment plan and efficacy of 102 children diagnosed with SRNS in the Department of Nephrology, Xi'an Children's Hospital of Shaanxi Province from January 1st, 2018 to December thirty-first, 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. All children were divided into groups according to age, clinical classification, pathological type, treatment scheme and treatment outcome, and the risk factors affecting the prognosis of children with SRNS were discussed. The measurement datas conforming to normal distribution were expressed as xˉ± s, and t test was used for comparison between groups. Measurement datas that did not conform to normal distribution were represented by M ( Q1, Q3), and Kruskall-Wallis test was used for comparison between groups.Enumeration datas were compared by χ 2 test. Risk factors were analyzed by multiple factor Logistic regression analysis. Results:The median age of onset of 102 children with SRNS was 3.0 years. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) accounted for 36.3% (37/102), minimal lesions accounted for 33.3% (34/102), and mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis accounted for 23.5% (24/102). The prevalence rates of hypertension (35.1% (13/37)), 24-h urine protein quantification (130.5 (91.5, 159.6) mg/(kg·24 h) and renal insufficiency (21.6% (8/37)) in FSGS group were higher than those in non-FSGS group (13.8% (9/65), 65.8 (51.2,85.5) mg/(kg·24 h), 4.6% (3/65)). The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (statistical values were χ 2=6.32, Z=5.90, χ 2=7.09; P values were 0.012, <0.001, 0.008). Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that the hypertension ( OR=4.055, 95% CI 1.178-3.962) and 24 hour urinary protein ( OR=1.036, 95% CI 1.020-1.053) were associated with the increased risk of FSGS ( P values were 0.026 and <0.001). ROC curve ananlysis showed that the optimal critical value of 24 hour urinary protein was 85.65 mg/(kg·24 h) in FSGS. After treatment, complete remission was 61.8%(63/102), partial remission was 14.7%(15/102), and no remission was 23.5%(24/102). By the end of follow-up the treatment effective rate in the small lesion group (94.1%(32/34)) was higher than that in the FSGS Group (51.3%(19/37)), and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ 2=16.02, P<0.001). In the initial immunosuppressive treatment, the complete remission rate of hormone combined with calcineurin inhibitor group (77.1%(37/48)) was higher than that of hormone combined with cyclophosphamide Group (11.1%(3/27)). There was significant difference between the two groups ( Z=32.28, P<0.001). Conclusion:The most common pathological type in children with SRNS was FSGS, and the age of onset was generally small. The prognosis of patients with pathological type FSGS was the worst, and the prognosis of small lesions was better. Hypertension and 24-hour urinary protein quantification were the risk factors of FSGS. Calcineurin inhibitors were the first choice for the second-line immunosuppressants of SRNS in children.
