PG - 1189-1198 LID - 10.1007/s00467-018-3924-4 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Lupus nephritis (LN) is a major risk factor for systemic lupus erythematous (SLE)-related morbidity and mortality. With the aim of bypassing renal biopsy, we analyzed urinary biomarkers for their ability to predict renal histopathologic features and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). METHODS: Urinary albumin, ss2-microglobulin (B2M), cystatin C, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), clusterin, calbindin, interleukin-18 (IL-18), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), trefoil factor 3 (TFF3), osteopontin, and glutathione S-transferase pi (GST-pi) levels were measured at time of renal biopsy. Renal histopathologies were carefully reviewed. RESULTS: Urine from 60 pediatric SLE cases with LN, 29 without and 22 healthy controls were collected. Median age at SLE diagnosis was 12.92 years (range = 4.27-17.30 years) and 10 cases progressed to ESKD during a period of 4.12 +/- 2.17 years. Urinary albumin and clusterin were significantly elevated (p = 0.035 and 0.048, respectively) in patients with tubulointerstitial renal lesions. Urinary clusterin among all urinary markers, performed best at predicting ESKD with cutoff of 0.61 x 10(-4) (AUC = 0.804; p = 0.002). Interestingly, elevation of urinary clusterin likely resulted from local over-expression in tubulointerstitial tissue since the level of serum clusterin was not concomitantly higher (p = 0.424). CONCLUSION: Urinary biomarkers are emerging as non-invasive indicators for lupus-related renal histopathology and renal outcome prediction in pediatric SLE patients. Urinary clusterin, a newly identified biomarker, is an indicator that shows an association with tubulointerstitial renal lesions and demonstrates the best ability to predict ESKD.
