Introduction:
Chronic Kidney Disease of uncertain etiology (CKDu) is an interstitial Nephritis leading to chronic kidney
disease. 30% of CKDu patients who present with symptoms and abnormal renal functionswith acute
interstitial nephritis (AIN)become asymptomatic over a period of time with normalizing renal
dysfunction. We reportthe biochemical profile of these patients.
Method:
Biopsy proven patients with CKDu (13 males, mean age 42 years) and normal renal functions at 24th and
36th months follow up were selected. Theyinitially presented as AIN.Patients with antiproteinuric
treatment excluded. Serum creatinine (SCr) and urine proteins (dipstick) were done. GFR was calculated
using MDRD formula. 2 out of 13 patients had renal tubular markers of RBP4, B2MG, A1MG, NGAL and
KIM1measured using Luminex multiplex bioassay.Tubular markers were interpreted as fold increase
from assay manufacturers normal range (ng/L).
Results:
Their mean blood pressure and ultrasound bipolar length range were 120/78 mmHg and 8.3cm to 10.6
cm respectively. Proteinuria was trace in 4 and nil in rest of cases. The median, maximum and
minimumGFR was 77, 104 and 64 ml/min/1.73M2 respectively. Mean biopsy chronicity
(tubulointerstitial and glomerular fibrosis)as a percentage from total number of indices was 33%. The
mean fold increase of RBP4, B2MG, A1MG, NGAL and KIM1 were 49, 26, 4.1,2.5 and none respectively.
Conclusion:
CKDu may be underdiagnosed if traditional renal markers alone are used. A prospective study with
tubular markers is warranted for detection of early CKDu with novel interventions. |
