6 2014 MFMER MFMER Case 1: Ben Sprangers, KU Leuven Female, 30y, adopted, Indian ancestry, smoker Relevant medical history: 1992: M pneumoniae infection 2003: non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NAFLD) 2006: hyperthyroidism (Graves) 2008: chronic back pain (lumbo-ischialgia L5-S1) G4P3A1M2 P1: normal delivery, 40w, 2700g (<P5) P2: mors in utero on 36w, hypertension, 1950g (<P5) A1: first trimester miscarriage, torsion of the left ovary P3: induction of labour (persistent proteinuria and previous mors in utero), 35w, 2320g (P25)

7 2014 MFMER MFMER Early during her 4 th pregnancy she was diagnosed with pregnancy-related diabetes and was started on a diet and insulin. She developed proteinuria (2g/24h) at 30w of gestation. There was no hypertension at that moment. Delivery was induced because of persistent proteinuria and previous mors in utero at 36w of gestation (second pregnancy). She was first seen at the nephrology clinic in April 2012 because of persistent proteinuria of >1g 2 months after delivery. Clinical exam unremarkable: BP normal, no edema, no skin lesions

8 2014 MFMER MFMER Serum creatinine 0.78 mg/dl Sodium mmol/l, Potassium 4.22 mmol/l, Chloride mmol/l, Bicarbonate 23.1 mmol/l Serum albumin 41.7 g/l, Serum protein 81 g/l HbA1c 5.8 %, Liver set normal ANF, ANCA, complement, EE/IF normal Urine analysis Sediment uprot 39 rbc/hpf (dysmorphic) 15 wbc/hpf 1.43 g/24h or 1.32 g/g creat 2+ on albustix

9 2014 MFMER MFMER Echo/duplex kidneys Size right 10cm cortex 17mm left 10 cm cortex 17 mm Normal appearance of cortices, no parenchymal lesions, no dilatation of excretion system Normal intrarenal indices Evolution Because of persistent proteinuria it was decided to perform a kidney biopsy in September 2012

14 2014 MFMER MFMER Hematuria and proteinuria Normal kidney function No Hypertension Proteinuria but No Nephrotic Syndrome Hematuria after birth but what now?

15 2014 MFMER MFMER It should also be recognized that nephrotic-range proteinuria (>3.5 g/24 h) and nephrotic syndrome (>3.5 g/24 h and serum albumin <3.5 g/dl) are not necessarily synonymous. This is an important clinical distinction particularly in patients with nephrotic-range proteinuria in which a kidney biopsy shows FSGS, but who do not have full-blown nephrotic syndrome. These patients are more likely to have FSGS due to a secondary process while patients with primary FSGS are more likely to present with nephrotic syndrome and marked edema and hyperlipidemia. On the other hand, patients with secondary FSGS are less likely to have edema or hyperlipidemia.

20 2014 MFMER MFMER Case 2: Steven Van Laecke, UZ Gent Female, 64 y Caucasian History of hypertension and CKD stage 3a (with a negative family history) Admitted fever, coughing, a sore throat, urticaric rash, and oligo-anuria since a few days. BP 80/40 mmhg; P 110; T 38.5C Hemocultures were positive for Streptococcus pyogenes Tonsillitis as potential focus Ultrasound: kidneys of 110 mm slightly increased hyper echogenicity.

21 2014 MFMER MFMER Sedimentation 98; CRP 12.3 ml/dl (<0.5) Hemoglobin 11.4 g/dl; WBC 7500/mm 3 ; Thrombocytes /mm 3 Serum creatinine 10.4mg/dL LDH 840; Haptoglobin 560mg/dL; Schistocytes negative; PTT 100% C3 40 mg/dl (90-180); C4 9 mg/dl (10-40) ANF negative; ANCA negative; Anti-GBM negative; Cryoglobulins negative Urine 10 RBC/hpf; 8 WBC/hpf; Proteinuria 1.5g/L

22 2014 MFMER MFMER No renal recovery despite antibiotics and corticosteroids. Peritoneal dialysis was initiated. During PD peritonitis and one episode of sepsis low C3 concentrations were noticed.

23 2014 MFMER MFMER Differential Diagnosis Hypocomplementemic GN: Post-Infectious SLE MPGN/Cryoglobulinemia Cholesterol emboly Post-infectious glomerulonephritis Atypical

24 Acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis is an ancient and well-defined renal disease. 24

25 25

26 However, in a small % of patients the GN takes longer to resolve, results in persistent hematuria and proteinuria, or even progresses to end-stage kidney disease. In these patients, kidney biopsies shows findings consistent with post-infectious glomerulonephritis. 26

32 Most patients diagnosed with atypical post-infectious GN have an underlying defect in regulation of the alternative pathway (AP) of complement. Defects include mutations in complement regulating proteins and antibodies to the C3 convertase = C3 nephritic factors (C3Nefs) affecting regulation of the AP that is not brought under control even after resolution of the infection. The result is continual glomerular deposition of complement factors with inflammation and development of an atypical postinfectious GN 32

36 36 Sethi, Fervenza, Zhang et al., Kidney Int 83: , 2012

37 Atypical post-infectious GN mimics post-infectious GN on kidney biopsy, yet behaves differently in that these patients have persistent proteinuria and hematuria and may progress to end stage kidney disease. Atypical post-infectious GN is associated with an underlying abnormality in the AP of complement. 37 Sethi, Fervenza, Zhang et al., Kidney Int 83: , 2012

43 Differential Diagnosis 2014 MFMER MFMER

44 In DEAP-HUS autoantibodies bind to the C-terminal surface binding region; In MPGN one case is reported in which a mini-autoantibody binds to the N-terminal complement regulatory region of Factor H and blocks complement regulatory function in fluid phase and on cell surfaces. C3NeF apparently acts on C3 convertases assembled in the fluid phase and on surfaces MFMER MFMER

Normal vital signs and physical findings (150/80 mmhg). The GP started ciprofloxacin 500 mg bid the day before. Urine: proteinuria (+) and massive dysmorphic erythrocyturia with erythrocyte casts. No WCC Chest X-ray was normal. Ultrasound showed two kidneys of 115 mm with increased parenchymal density and cortical thickness.

One week after admission: profound microangiopathic hemolytic anaemia, with multiple schistocytes and thrombocytopenia. Despite daily plasma exchange in combination with oral steroids, hemolysis remained active, no recovery of renal function was noted.
