Plasma lipids as risk factors in relapsing nephrotic syndrome
Keywords:
nephrotic syndrome, hyperlipidemia, relapse, risk factors
Abstract
Background Nephrotic syndrome is primarily a pediatric disorderand is 15 times more common in children than in adults.
Relapse rate after corticosteroid discontinuation is 39 - 59%.
Hyperlipidemia is an important characteristic of nephrotic
syndrome. The plasma concentrations of cholesterol, triglyceride,
LDL, and VLDL are increased. Persistent hyperlipidemia after
remission can be found in frequent relapse nephrotic syndrome.
Objective To determine plasma lipids as risk factor for relapsing
nephrotic syndrome.
Methods Thirty children with nephrotic syndrome were included
in this cohort study from March 2005 until June 2007 at Wahidin
Sudirohusodo Hospital, Makassar. Thirty children without renal disease
were enrolled as control. Blood specimens were collected to determine
plasma lipids (cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, and HDL) levels and LDU
HDL ratio. Plasma lipids were examined in the acute and remission
phases. Follow up was carried out six months after remission to
determine the occurrence of relapsing nephrotic syndrome.
Results Of 30 nephrotic syndrome patients, 12 had relapsed.
There were highly significant differences in total cholesterol, HDL,
LDL, triglyceride, and LDL/HDL ratio between acute nephrotic
syndrome and nephrotic syndrome in remission. There were no
significant differences in cholesterol, LDL, triglyceride, LDL!
HDL ratio between nephrotic syndrome in remission and control.
There was also no significant difference in the incidence in relapse
between first attack and nephrotic syndrome with more than two
attacks. Acute lipid fraction levels were not risk factors in relapsing
mephrotic syndrome. Remission triglyceride level was a risk factor
in relapsing nephrotic syndrome with the prevalence risk of 5.2 and
CI 95% of 1.06 to 25.3.
Conclusion Persistent hypertriglyceride in remission phase is
associated with an increased risk of relapse in children with
nephrotic syndrome.
