儿童特发性膜性肾病临床病理特点及治疗探讨

目的 了解儿童特发性膜性肾病(IMN)的临床病理特点,探讨其治疗方案.方法 回顾性分析25例病理确诊的IMN患儿的临床病理特点,总结其不同治疗方法 的疗效.结果 儿童IMN占同期所有肾穿刺活检(简称肾穿)患儿的3.81%.25例IMN中男9例,女16例;起病年龄2～14岁,平均(9.4±3.4)岁;肾穿时病程0.4～11.0个月,中位数2.5个月.临床表现为肾病综合征肾炎型21例(84%),肾小球肾炎4例(16%).全部患儿均伴血尿,其中肉眼血尿7例,高血压4例,并发血栓2例,肾功能不全1例.病理分期IMNⅡ期21例(84%).伴中重度小管间质损害者6例,伴局灶节段硬化2例.22例肾病综合征及肾病水平蛋白尿患儿中,21例首选糖皮质激素治疗,其中20例符合评价激素疗效标准:激素敏感1例(复发后转为激素耐药),19例为激素耐药(95%).后续治疗包括继续单纯激素减量隔日治疗8例,其中完全缓解5例,部分缓解3例;激素联合免疫抑制剂治疗12例,该12例连同首选联合免疫抑制剂治疗1例、激素治疗5周联合免疫抑制剂治疗1例,共14例.结论 本组患儿IMN临床表现以肾病综合征为主,均伴有不同程度血尿.绝大多数初治激素耐药,但部分病例减量隔日治疗过程中获缓解,联合免疫抑制剂治疗及疗效尚需进一步临床验证.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological feature and treatment of idiopathic membranous nephropathy(IMN)in children.Method A retrospective analysis of 25 cases of biopsyproven IMN seen between January 2004 and December 2009.Result The incidence of IMN was 3.81% in all the children patients who underwent renal biopsy.Of 25 patients with IMN,nine were boys and sixteen were girls.The mean age at onset was(9.4±3.4)years with a range of 2-14 years.Renal biopsies were performed at a median 2.5 months(range 0.4-11 months)after onset.The clinical manifestations included nephrotic syndrome(NS)nephritic type in 21 cases(84%)and glomerulonephritis in 4 cases.All patients presented with hematuria,and 7 had macroscopic hematuria.Hypertension was noted in 4 patients.Two patients were complicated with thrombosis.One patient was in a chronic renal insufficiency(CRI)state.According to the MN staging criteria,21 cases were in stage Ⅱ IMN(84%).Six patients showed moderate or severe tubulointerstitial lesion.Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis(FSGS)was found in two patients.Of the 22 patients with NS and nephrotic proteinuria,21 cases were treated with prednisone initially and in 20 of them the efficacy of corticosteroid therapy was evaluated:one of them was steroid sensitive(became steroidresistant after relapse)and all the others were steroid-resistant(95%).The subsequent treatment:eight of them were treated with prednisone followed by a taper to alternate-day therapy.Five of them had complete remission and three partial remission.Twelve cases were treated with combined therapy of prednisone and immunosuppressive agents. Of these 12 cases together with one case who received initially combined treatment with prednisone and immunosuppressive agent and one case treated with prednisone initially for five weeks then with combined therapy contained another immunosuppressive agent,totally 14 cases,5 had complete remission,2 partial remission,3 did not achieve remission,and 3 had unknown response.Conclusion Of the patient cohort,the predominant presenting feature was nephrotic syndrome,and with different degree hematuria.Almost all of them were steroid resistant,but followed by a taper to alternate-day therapy,some could achieve remission.The effect of a combination of prednisone and immunosuppressive agent is needed to be further proven in children.
