IgA vasculitis (Henoch - Schonlein Purpura) as the first manifestation of juvenile Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Case-control study and systematic review.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:We have recognized 15 children with jSLE and the antecedent of IgA vasculitis (HSP). This association is not broadly present in the literature. AIM:To know the age and gender distribution of children with IgA vasculitis (HSP), compare it to our IgA vasculitis (HSP)?+?jSLE cases, and identify prognostic factors to develop jSLE within our case series, IgA vasculitis (HSP) vs. IgA vasculitis (HSP)?+?jSLE. METHODS:A systematic review was carried out to know the age and gender distribution of children with IgA vasculitis (HSP). The information obtained plus data from 110 children with IgA vasculitis (HSP) from the Instituto Nacional de Pediatría were used to compare groups and identify prognostic factors. We performed a case-control study in patients

Project description:Immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV; formerly Henoch Schonlein Purpura) is the most common form of childhood vasculitis. It can occur in any age and peaks around 4-6 years old. It demonstrates seasonal variation implicating a role for environmental triggers and geographical variation. The diagnosis is made clinically and 95% of patients will present with a rash, together with any from a triad of other systems-gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and renal. Most cases of IgAV in children have an excellent outcome. Treatment may be required during the acute phase for gastrointestinal involvement and renal involvement, termed IgAV nephritis (previously HSP nephritis), is the most serious long-term manifestation accounting for ~1-2% of all childhood end stage kidney disease (ESKD). It therefore requires a period of renal monitoring conducted for 6-12 months. Patients presenting with nephrotic and/or nephritic syndrome or whom develop significant persistent proteinuria should undergo a renal biopsy to evaluate the extent of renal inflammation and there are now international consensus guidelines that outline the indications for when to do this. At present there is no evidence to support the use of medications at the outset in all patients to prevent subsequent renal inflammation. Consensus management guidelines suggest using oral corticosteroids for milder disease, oral, or intravenous corticosteroids plus azathioprine or mycophenolate mofetil or intravenous cyclophosphamide for moderate disease and intravenous corticosteroids with cyclophosphamide for severe disease. Angiotensin system inhibitors act as adjunctive treatment for persisting proteinuria and frequently relapsing disease may necessitate the use of immunosuppressant agents. Renal outcomes in this disease have remained static over time and progress may be hindered due to many reasons, including the lack of reliable disease biomarkers and an absence of core outcome measures allowing for accurate comparison between studies. This review article summarizes the current evidence supporting the management of this condition highlighting recent findings and areas of unmet need. In order to improve the long term outcomes in this condition international research collaboration is urgently required.

Project description:IntroductionRecent studies noted that Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) and IgA nephropathy (IgAN) share the feature of galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1)-oriented pathogenesis, although there are distinct clinical differences. We aimed to clarify the clinicopathologic differences between these 2 diseases.MethodsWe cross-sectionally analyzed adult patients with HSPN (n = 24) or IgAN (n = 56) who underwent renal biopsy (RB) between 2008 and 2018 at Showa University Hospital. Serum Gd-IgA1 (s-Gd-IgA1) levels at the time of RB were compared among study groups using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with anti-human Gd-IgA1-specific monoclonal antibody (KM55). We also immunohistochemically stained paraffin-embedded sections for glomerular Gd-IgA1 (g-Gd-IgA1)-deposition using KM55. Serum inflammatory cytokines were measured using ELISA.ResultsGlomerular endothelial injury with subendothelial IgA deposition was significant in patients with HSPN. Serum IL-8, MCP-1, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels were significantly higher in patients with HSPN than IgAN. Levels of s-Gd-IgA1 were comparable among patients with HSPN and IgAN, and a similar degree of g-Gd-IgA1-deposition was detected in both diseases. Furthermore, g-Gd-IgA1-deposition was evident in patients with histopathologically advanced HSPN or IgAN. In HSPN, significant positive correlations between s-Gd-IgA1 levels and crescent formation or IL-6 elevation were confirmed, and g-Gd-IgA1 intensity showed a significant positive correlation with MCP-1 and a tendency to positively correlate with IL-8. Meanwhile, patients with IgAN showed no correlation between inflammatory cytokines and both-Gd-IgA1. Moreover, most g-Gd-IgA1-positive areas were not double stained with CD31 in HSPN.ConclusionsAlthough assessing both-Gd-IgA1 alone was insufficient to distinguish between HSPN and IgAN, patients with HSPN showed considerable glomerular capillaritis with subendothelial IgA deposition and significant elevation of serum inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, such glomerular subendothelial IgA deposition might not contain Gd-IgA1, and factors associated with Gd-IgA1 were inconsistent among these 2 diseases. Thus, developmental mechanisms for IgAN might not apply to HSPN completely, and these 2 diseases still have different aspects.
