Clinical significance of kidney immune complex deposition in children with acute interstitial nephritis disease

AbstractBackground Acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) is a relatively rare cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in children. Immune complex (IC) deposition was rare in renal pathology of AIN.Methods Based on the status and position of IC deposition, a total of 78 children with AIN were divided into tw...

description AbstractBackground Acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) is a relatively rare cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in children. Immune complex (IC) deposition was rare in renal pathology of AIN.Methods Based on the status and position of IC deposition, a total of 78 children with AIN were divided into two groups: the non-IC group and IC group. IC group was further divided into two subgroups: intraglomerular (IG)-IC group and extraglomerular (EG)-IC group. To compare the clinical and histological features, renal outcomes between groups.Results The IC deposition, IG-IC and EG-IC deposition were observed in 22 (28.21%), 12 (15.38%) and 10 (12.82%) children, respectively. The IC group demonstrated a higher frequency of AKI, higher level of Scr, urine N-acetyl-β-D-glucosidase (NAG) enzyme, retinol-binding protein (RBP), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), higher frequency of neutrophils, plasma cells and eosinophils infiltrate, higher scores of interstitial inflammation (i), total inflammation (ti) and interstitial edema, lower level of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as compared to non-IC group (p < 0.05, p < 0.01). EG-IC deposition positively moderate correlated with levels of RBP, IG-IC deposition positively moderate correlated with plasma cell infiltrate, interstitial inflammation (i), total inflammation (ti) and interstitial edema. Interstitial inflammation, EG-IC deposition and interstitial edema were risk factors for AKD in AIN, and interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy (IF/TA) was a risk factor for CKD in children with AIN.Conclusion IG-IC and EG-IC deposition positively correlated with severe clinical manifestations, glomerular and tubular injuries, and EG-IC deposition was risk factor for the progression of AIN in children.
