12 You suspect the diagnosis of SSc renal crisis (SRC). Do you need to perform a renal biopsy? 1. Yes, because a kidney biopsy is necessary to make the diagnosis of SRC 2. Yes, because histopathology can give prognostic parameters in the context of SRC 3. Yes, because I am convinced that it is not SRC but rather a crescentic glomerulonephritis 4. No, because I can make sure that it is a renal crisis without a kidney biopsy 5. No, because a kidney biopsy is contraindicated in this patient

13 You suspect the diagnosis of SSc renal crisis (SRC). Do you need to perform a renal biopsy? 4. No, because I can make sure that it is a renal crisis without a kidney biopsy SRC is defined by rapidly progressive oliguric renal insufficiency with no other explanation and/or rapidly progressive arterial hypertension occurring during the course of SSc Steen VD, et al. Ann Intern Med 1990; 113:352-7.

14 Scleroderma renal crisis (SRC) occurs in 5% scleroderma patients : 10-20% of patients with diffuse SSc About 1% in limited cutaneous forms (Steen 2003). Two time periods : Scleroderma renal crisis Before ACEi : less than 10% survival at 1 year. After ACEi: 65% survival at 5 years. In a recent work from the EUSTAR group data base, it is reported to have decreased to less than 5% (Walker UA et al. Ann Rheum Dis 2007) and less than 2% in patients with limited cutaneous SSc (lcssc).

25 Renal pathology Renal biopsy is not necessary to confirm the diagnosis of SRC in classical forms. However, a number of research groups are performing systematic renal biopsy in order to better evaluate the prognosis of SRC. In atypical clinical presentation, renal biopsy is mandatory to confirm the diagnosis of SRC. In all cases, renal biopsy will be performed after control of blood pressure. In case of severe thrombocytopenia, renal biopsy can be performed through jugular vein catheterism. Mouthon et al. Clin Rev Allerg Immunol. 2009

32 Clinical and biological characteristics of 195 patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) depending on the presence or absence of anti-rna polymerase III antibodies (ARA III). ARA were detected in 17/195 (8.7%) of our patients. Emilie et al. Scand J Rheum 2011

33 Using multivariate analysis, detection of ARA was independently associated with dcssc [odds ratio (OR) 6.9, 95% confidence interval (CI) , p = 0.01], renal insufficiency (OR 11.7, 95% CI , p = 0.006), an absence of pulmonary fibrosis (OR 0.16, , p = 0.02).

34 Factors predictive of renal crisis: Corticosteroids In a case-controlled study, in the 6 months prior to SRC onset or to the first visit, high-dose CS ( 15 mg/day prednisone) were administered significantly more frequently in SRC patients (36%) than in controls (12%) (OR 4.37) In a retrospective study of 50 patients with SRC, 30 (60%) of the patients had been exposed to CS prior to the onset of SRC The OR for developing SRC associated with intake of CS during the preceding 3- or 1-month period were 24.1 and 17.4, respectively CS play a potential role in inducing SRC It can not be concluded that CS play a causal role These data support the crucial preventive role of avoiding CS in patients at risk for SRC Paris 20 et 21 Octobre 2005 Steen VD and Medsger TA.

42 Transplantation rénale La transplantation rénale n est envisagée qu après deux ans d épuration extra-rénale Survie des greffons de 56,7% à 5 ans (USA, , 260 patients). Cinq cas de récidive de CRS sur 260 patients transplantés (1,9%) (Pham 2005). Sous estimation probable du nombre de récidives. Ces 5 patients avaient tous développé une insuffisance rénale terminale dans l année suivant le diagnostic de CRS sur le rein natif. La ciclosporine n est pas recommandée dans le traitement du rejet de greffe (risque de déclenchement de CRS) (Ruiz, 1991). Paris 20 et 21 Octobre ème journée française de l HTAP

43 Conclusions Despite the use of ACEi, SRC remains associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Corticosteroids might increase the risk of developping SRC Corticosteroids might be spared in patients at risk for SRC Increased intra-renal expression of ET-1 in SRC (like in typical SHU with microangiopathy) Clinical relevance of ET-1 blockade
