  2. Outline • Lowe Syndrome • Fabry disease • Cystinosis • Cystinuria • Hyperoxaluria • Alports

  3. Fabry Disease • X-linked recessive disorder (Xq22-24) • Defect is in the alpha-1 galactosidase A • Diagnosis by assay of peripheral blood leukocyte level of alpha-galactosidase • Hemizygous(M) level is near 0 • Heterozygote (F) level may be in the low normal range. Check urinary ceramide digalactoside and trihexoside. • Fetus: determine level in amniocyte

  4. Fabry Disease • Males: wide range of clinical abnormalities • Females: variable range of clinical expression, may have lipid storage in cells and be completely asymptomatic (lyonization) • Race: White most common • Incidence: 1:40,000 • Intracellular accumulation of the glycosphingolipid galabiosylceramide

  5. Fabry: Deposition • *Endothelial, perithelial, smooth muscle of blood vessels • Kidney: glomerluar and tubular epithelium • Corneal epithelium • Myocardium • Autonomic NS: ganglion cells • RES: bone marrow, liver, spleen, lymph nodes • Lungs, synovial lining and testes

  6. Fabry: Clinical Manifestations • angiokeratoma (age 10-20) appearance dark red macules or papules • acroparesthesias exacerbated by fever and exercise (childhood) • anhidrosis (tears and saliva) • Nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea • ophthalmic abnormalities: corneal opacity, posterior cataracts, • ischemic cerebrovascular disease: seizure, TIA, stroke • ischemic heart disease: MI, dysrhythmias

  7. Angiokeratoma

  8. Kidney • mild proteinuria (0.5-2g/d) in the 3rd decade • Uremia and hypertension in the 4-5th decade • ESRD as early as 2nd decade • Urine: myelin bodies, mild hematuria

  9. Pathology • Uniform-size empty vacuoles (formalin) • Most striking in visceral epithelial cells of glomeruli • Less in renal arterioles, tubular epithelium, mesangium, interstitium • Birefringence and Maltese-cross w/ polarized optics (fresh or frozen) • Progressive disease: segmental and global glomerulosclerosis

  10. Pathology • IF is negative • EM: cellular inclusions in all glomerular cells • Zebra bodies or myelin figures • Onion skin appearance • Located in lysosomes • Foot process effusion w/ heavy proteinuria • DDX: • Pulmonary Scilicosis W/ hematuria and proteinuria: inclusions in glomeruli • Clororquine therapy: inclusions in glomeruli • Aminoglycoside: inclusions in tubules

  11. M&M in Fabry Disease • Natural Hx: death at mean age of 42 from uremia • Treated for ESRD: most common causes of death are cerebrovascular and cardiovascular • After transplant, the glycosphingolipid deposits recur but do not limit renal function • New Rx: IV alpha-galactosidase q 2 weeks. Approved in Europe last month. Awaiting FDA approval in US

  12. Alport Syndrome • Inheritance • Classic X-linked dominant • AR • AD • Gene: COL4A5 encodes for the alpha 5 chain of type IV collagen • Gene frequency 1:10,000

  13. Alport Clinical Features • Hematuria: microscopic may be persistent, gross hematuria is intermittent if present. Onset 0-10 yrs • Proteinuria: absent in the first few years of life and then becomes gradually progressive. • Hypertension-progressive • Renal survival • Males: nearly all affected progress to ESRD; Age is variable • Females: better prognosis (X-linked variety); presence of gross hematuria in childhood, nephrotic syndrome, and diffuse GBM thickening are poor prognostic signs

  14. Alport Syndrome • Sensorineural hearing loss: onset by age 15 in males. Detect by audiometry. Progressive. In females progressive hearing loss is a poor prognostic sign • Ocular defects: 15-30% • Anterior lenticonus • Corneal endothelial vesicles • Platelet defects: megathrombocytopenia + platelet dysfunction (AD) • Diffuse leiomyomatosis: upper GI tract, tracheobronchial tree, females genital. Posterior subcapsular cataracts. (AD)

  15. Alport Nephropathology: Light • < 5 years: nearly nl w/ occasional interstitial foam cells and fetal glomeruli • mesangial widening • focal thickening of Bowman’s capsule • focal endothelial and mesangial proliferation • split capillary walls • progressive glomerular sclerosis • TBM thickening • interstitial fibrosis and foam cells; tubular atrophy • occasional crescents • capsular tuft synechiae

  16. Nephropathology • IF • Typically negative • Increased deposition w/ sclerosis • EM * Variable thickening, thinning, basket weaving, and lamellation of the GBM

  17. Alport Syndrome

  18. Alport: Prognosis • Post transplant • 5% Anti-GBM nephritis • responds to therapy • likely to recur in next allograft • Hearing deficit • may progress to total deafness • Treatment • supportive

  19. Primary Hereditary Hyperoxaluria • Type I • hyperoxaluria w/ glycolic aciduria • alanine: glyoxylate aminotransferase deficiency (peroxisome) • autosomal recessive; 1:60,000-120,000 • Type II • hyperoxaluria w/ L-glyceric aciduria • D-glycerate dehydrogenase deficiency (cytosol) • very rare • Type III • Intestinal hyperoxaluria (hyperabsorptive)

  20. (1)glycine cleavage enzyme; (2) alanine: glyoxylate aminotransferase; (3) D-glyceric acid dehydrogenase; (4) glycerate kinase; (5) trimethylamine oxidase; (6) lactate dehydrogenase; (7) glycolate oxidase; (8) NKH* = nonketotic hyperglycinemia; TH4 =tetrahydrofolate. Behrman: Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics, 16th ed. 2000

  21. Metabolic PathwayDefective in PH-I glyoxalate Pyridoxine Alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase (liver) oxalate glycine

  22. Primary Hyperoxaluria-I: Laboratory • Elevated urinary sodium, oxalate, glycolic acid, and glyoxylic acid • Laboratory Normal Values • Blood oxalate 10-140 mg/dl • Urine oxalate 10-40 mg/day • Oxalate/Creatinine urine • Infants < 0.3 mg/mg • 1-5 yo < 0.1 mg/mg • >5 yo < 0.05 mg/mg

  23. Pathology • Hyperoxalemia: wide spread deposition of oxalate = oxalosis • Renal deposition: nephrolithiasis, tubulointerstitial nephropathy, renal failure • Light Microscopy: calcium oxalate crystalline deposits in tubule, interstitium, interstitial fibrosis, late focal glomerular sclerosis. Stone in calyceal system are birefringent

  25. Primary Hyperoxaluria

  26. Primary Hyperoxaluria - ITreatment • Early diagnosis • Dietary restriction of glycine and high oxalate foods (spinach, rhubarb, beet roots, iced tea) • Pyridoxine • Hydration to limit stone formation (2.5 L/m2) • + Mg and phosphate supplementation • Liver / Kidney transplant
