UNLABELLED: Pyelonephritis (PN) is frequent bacterial infections in young infants and very important because may cause parenchymal scarring. Early confirmation of bacterial infection and application the appropriate treatment before obtaining result of urine culture, reduce probability of parenchymal scarring.
THE AIM OF THE STUDY: To evaluate the useful of inflammatory and renal injury markers: serum procalcitonin (PCT), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and injury renal marker alpha1--microglobulin (A1M) measurement, in comparison with C-reactive protein concentration and abnormal urinary tract, in neonates and young infants with pyelonephritis.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Investigation was performed in two groups: I group--23 children with PN (1 to 24 weeks of age), and K group--30 healthy children aged from 1 to 24 weeks. Serum concentration of CRP was measured by immunonephelometric assay, PCT by immunoluminometric assay, TNF alpha by ELISA method, and urinary A1M by nephelometric assay.
RESULTS: In control group (K) medians of all investigated markers were below minimum of detection. PN patients (I) had the highest PCT TNF-alpha, A1M and CRP concentration before treatment and normal results after antibiotic treatment. Using a cut-off: of 0.5 mg/dl for CRP, 0.5 ng/ml for PCT 15 pg/ml for TNF-alpha and 10 mg/g cr for A1M, sensitivity and specificity in children with pyelonephritis were: for CRP 100% and 62.5%, for PCT 81.8% and 87.2%, for TNF alpha 77.1% and 93.1% and A1M 70.4% and 56.1%, respectively. A positive correlation between serum PCT and CRP and TNF alpha was found. Very high concentration all markers were in patients with vesicoureteral reflux and 1 patient with hydronephrosis.
CONCLUSION: In early diagnostics of PN (before obtaining results of urine culture) in youngest children, determination of concentration PCT and TNF alpha, has higher value than determination of CRP, taking into concentration high sensitivity and specificity for bacterial infection.
