BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) was identified the most highly upregulated protein in chronic kidney diseases and prolonged KIM-1 expression may be maladaptive. The present study was aimed to investigate urinary, renal and plasma KIM-1 levels and to analyze association between KIM-1 levels with clinical and pathological indexes in adult Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) patients.
METHODS: Twenty healthy individuals, 20 HSP patients without nephritis and 35 HSP patients with nephritis were recruited. Urinary and plasma KIM-1 levels were determined by ELISA and Luminex, respectively. Renal KIM-1 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry.
RESULTS: HSP patients with nephritis were characterized as elevated levels of urinary, renal and plasma KIM-1. Those with more severe tubular injury of renal biopsy tissues presented significantly higher urinary and renal KIM-1 levels compared to control and patients without nephritis. Urinary and renal levels of KIM-1 were positively correlated with blood urea nitrogen and proteinuria, while they were negatively correlated with eGFR at both baseline and after two years follow-up. Moreover, plasma KIM-1 levels were associated with blood urea nitrogen and proteinuria as well. Further univariate correlation analysis indicated urinary and renal KIM-1 levels were positively correlated with interstitial inflammation index and tubulointerstitial chronicity index. Only urinary KIM-1 levels were associated with interstitial inflammation index, tubulointerstitial chronicity index and extracapillary glomerular activity index, after logistic regression analysis. The area under the curve (AUC) for urinary KIM-1/Cr predicting progression of renal damage was significantly greater than the AUC for proteinuria.
CONCLUSIONS: This finding suggests that measurement of urinary and renal KIM-1 level may be helpful to evaluate severity of renal pathological damage and prognosis in adult HSP patients with nephritis.
