DiscussionTreatments MethodsforChildhood Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome
Clinical Characteristics ●Proteinuria > 40 mg/m2/hr (> 1 g/m2/24hrs) ●Hypoproteinemia Total protein < 5.5 g/dL; Alb < 2.5 g/dL ●Hyperlipidemia Cholesterol > 250 mg/dL ●Edema Periorbital,lower limbs,scrotum, generalized, pitting
Pathophysiology ●Charge-selective barrier: Sialoprotein (-) / polyanionic glycosaminoglycans 69 ~ 150 kd restricted (i.e. Albumin) Loss of charge-selectivity → MCNS ●Size-selective barrier: Pore size in GMB > 150 kd restricted Loss of size-selectivity → MN
Pathogenesis Uncertain ? Altered T-lymphocyte response ↓ Plasma factor ? ↓ Podocyte protein expression / function ↓ Glomerular capillary wall permeability Eddy A, et al., The Lancet, 2003
Epidemiology ●Incidence: 2 ~ 3 per 100000 children ●Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome 90% Primary Nephritis (-) Primary extrarenal disease (-) Onset: 2 ~ 7 y/o Male: female (2:1) Three common histologies
Histopathology 1. Minimal change nephroytic syndrome 85% Effacement of podocyte foot process 95% steroid-responsive 2. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 10% Juxtamedullary segmental scarring < 20% steroid-responsive Progressive, ESRD in 2 ~ 5 yrs 3. Membranous nephropathy 5% Increased mesangial cells / matrix 50% steroid-responsive
Complications ●Infection: Spontaneous peritonitis 2~ 6% ●Thromboembolic diseases: risk of renal vein thrombosis
Treatment Goals ●Non-specific: relieve S/S and secondary effects ●Specific: immunosuppressive therapy aimed at modulating the immune component of the disease ●Minimize complications and those of immunosuppressive drugs
Non - Specific Tx Severe edema: Pleural effusion, ascites, scrotal edema ●Restricted water / salt (< 2 g/day) ●25% Albumin ivd (1 g/kg/day) ●Furosemide (1 ~ 2 mg/kg/4hrs) ●Monitor vol. depletion, e- disturbance, renal function
Specific Tx 1. First-line: Oral corticosteroid 2. Second-line: Pulse methylpredisolone, Cyclophosphamide, Cyclosporin 3. Other immunosuppressive agents: Levamisole, Mycophenolate mofetil
Oral Corticosteroid ●1 ~ 8 y/o: steroid-responsive MCNS 87% Try steroid therapy, hold renal biopsy ●Prednisolone (2 mg/kg/day; 60 mg/m2/day) po divided dose ●Proteinuria (1+ or less) for 4 consecutive days → “steroid-responsive” ●75% MCNS remission by 2 wks ●Prednisolone (60 mg/m2/day) qod for 4 wks
Response to Steroid ●Steroid-resistant: Proteinuria (2+ or more) after 1 month of daily Prednisolone use Renal biopsy indicated ●Steroid-dependent: Relapse (proteinuria + edema) after switching to or terminating qod Prednisolone Tx ●Frequently relapsing: > 2 relapses in 6 months of initial response or > 4 relapses in any 12 months > 60% relapse in steroid-responsive cases
Specific Tx 1. First-line: Oral corticosteroid 2. Second-line: Pulse methylpredisolone, Cyclophosphamide, Cyclosporin 3. Other immunosuppressive agents: Levamisole, Mycophenolate mofetil
Pulse Methylprednisolone ●10 ~ 30 mg/kg bolus (Max: 1000 mg) iv qod x 6 doses Weekly pulse x 4 wks Every-other-week pulse x 4 doses ●Combination with oral corticosteroids, cyclophosphamide, or cyclosporin ●Remission rate: 64% (27/42) in steroid-resistant NS by 13.1±12.5 wks Kirpekar R, et al., Am J of Kidney Disease, 2002
Adverse Effects of Steroid ●Buffalo hump / moon face ●Cutaneous striae ●Osteoporosis ●Hypertension ●Hyperglycemia ●Dyslipidemia ●Muscle weakness / fatigability ●Infection
Cyclophosphamide (Endoxan) ●Alkylating agent used in C/T ●Interferes DNA cross-link covalently ●For steroid-resistant / dependent / frequently relapsing NS ●2 ~ 2.5 mg/kg/day for 8 ~ 12 wks ●Combined Prednisolone qod Tx ●Remission: 25 ~ 30% steroid-unresponsive p’ts Eddy A, et al., The Lancet, 2003
Side Effects of Cyclophosphamide ●Myelosuppression 32% ●Hemorrhagic cystitis 2.2% ●Bladder carcinoma ●Alopecia ●Gonadal toxicity: aspermia, amenorrhea Latta K, et al., Ped Nephrology, 2001
Cyclosporin (Sandimmun) ●Immunosuppressant for transplantation ●Calcineurin inhibitor:↓IL-2,IL-3,IL-4, GM-CSF, TNF-α→ ↓T cell proliferation ●5 ~ 6 mg/kg/day + oral Prednisolone use ●Remission rate: 85% for steroid-responsive NS ●Side effects: gingival-hyperplasia, hirsutism, risk of cyclosporin-induced vasculopathy ●High nephrotoxicity: monitor renal function Eddy A, et al., The Lancet, 2003
Specific Tx 1. First-line: Oral corticosteroid 2. Second-line: Pulse methylpredisolone, Cyclophosphamide, Cyclosporin 3. Other immunosuppressive agents: Levamisole, Mycophenolate mofetil
Mycophenolate Mofetil(CellCept) ●Prevents allograft rejection ●Suppress de novo purine synthesis: ↓T cell / B cell / smooth muscle cell / fibroblast proliferation ●0.8 ~ 1.2 g/m2/day ●Leukopenia, GI discomfort, diarrhea, malaise, splenomegaly Barletta G, et al., Ped Nephrology, 2003
Levamisole ●Antihelmintic drug ●Immunomodulatory effect ? ●2.5 mg/kg qod, median 10 months ●↓relapse in frequently relapsing NS ●Risks of leukopenia, hepatoxity, agranulocytosis, vasculitis, encephalopathy Tenbrock K, et al., Ped Nephrology, 1998
Conclusion ●Steroid-responsiveness: most important prognostic factor ●Oral Prednisolone first-line drug ●Alkylating agents, immuno uppressants for steroid-resistant/dependant, frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome ●Levamisole, MMF require larger trials for efficacy
