EXPRESS : Clinical Outcomes and Clinico-Pathological Correlations in Children with MPO-ANCA-Associated Glomerulonephritis Showing Renal Arteritis

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical features, pathological characteristics and prognosis in myeloperoxidase (MPO)-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies-associated glomerulonephritis (AAGN) with renal arteritis.

METHODS: The study involved 97 children from five pediatric clinical centers with MPO-AAGN who exhibited distinct clinical features. The patients were divided into AAGN-A+ and AAGN-A-, based on the presence or absence of arteritis, and the disparities in clinical, histopathological characteristics, and prognosis between the two groups were evaluated.

RESULT: In contrast to the AAGN-A- group, the children in the AAGN-A+ group exhibited more pronounced clinical symptoms and renal pathological injury. Arteritis positively moderately correlated with the serum creatinine (Scr), IL-6 (interleukin-6), urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), negatively moderately correlated with serum complement C3. The renal survival rate in the AAGN-A+ group was significantly poorer than AAGN-A- group (χ2=4.278, P=0.039). Arteritis showed a good predictive value for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), and C3 deposition and arteritis were independent risk factors for the development of ESKD in children with MPO-AAGN.

CONCLUSION: Arteritis is a significant pathological change observed in children with MPO-AAGN, and the formation of arteritis may be related to the inflammatory response and activation of the complement system.
