- Abstract: Objective To investigate the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine(HCQ)combined with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor(ACEI)in the treatment of children with non-massive pro-teinuria IgA vasculitis nephritis(IgAVN).Methods A total of 42 children with non-massive pro-teinuria IgAVN in the Guiyang Maternal and Child Healthcare Hospital from August 2023 to August 2024 were collected as the study subjects.They were divided into ACEI group(n=23)and ACEI combined with HCQ group(n=19).The urinary microalbumin level,24-hour urinary protein,rou-tine urinalysis,adverse reactions,electrocardiogram findings,and fundus examination results were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results At 0.5,1,3 and 6 months of treatment,the urinary microalbumin,24-hour urinary protein,and urinary red blood cell counts in both groups showed significantly decreasing trend(P＜0.05).At 3 and 6 months of treatment,the urinary microalbumin and 24-hour urinary protein levels in the ACEI combined with HCQ group were significantly lower than those in the ACEI group(P＜0.05).At 0.5,1,3,and 6 months of treat-ment,the urinary red blood cell counts in the ACEI combined with HCQ group were significantly lower than those in the ACEI group(P＜0.05).The total remission rate was 68.4％(13/19)in the ACEI combined with HCQ group and 56.5％(13/23)in the ACEI group,with no significant between-group difference(P＞0.05).In the ACEI combined with HCQ group,there were 2 cases of nausea,1 case of abnormal liver function,and 1 case of respiratory tract infection,with a total incidence rate of 21.1％(4/19).In the ACEI group,there were 2 cases of nausea,2 cases of diz-ziness,1 case of abnormal liver function,and 2 cases of respiratory tract infection,with a total inci-dence rate of 30.4％(7/23).There was significant difference in the total incidence of adverse re-actions between the two groups(P=0.029).No serious adverse events such as arrhythmia or reti-nopathy occurred in children in the two groups.Conclusion HCQ combined with ACEI treatment exhibits a favorable anti-urinary protein effect and good safety.
