Abstract
Introduction
The kidney is one of the organs frequently affected in systemic lupus erythematosus (40-60%); the manifestations are variable, from a silent pattern to the irreversible impairment of renal function.
Objetives
•
To characterize patients under 18 years of age with a diagnosis of lupus nephritis treated at the Pablo Tobón Uribe Hospital and San Vicente Fundación Hospital during the years 2006 to 2017.
•
Establish the frequency of lupus nephritis in patients diagnosed with childhood systemic lupus erythematosus.
•
Describe the general, sociodemographic, clinical and paraclinical characteristics, as well as histopathological characteristics, immunosuppressive treatment and complications such as chronic kidney disease, high blood pressure, need for renal replacement therapy and death in patients diagnosed with lupus nephritis.
•
Explore the association between lupus nephritis with a histological pattern defined as moderate or severe and chronic kidney disease, arterial hypertension, need for renal replacement therapy and death.
Materials and methods
Descriptive study with retrospective information in a group of patients under 18 years of age with a diagnosis of lupus nephritis, attended in two referral centres of the city of Medellin between 2008 and 2017. Clinical records of patients who met the inclusion criteria were reviewed.
Results
The median age was 13 years, with predominance in females. The majority had renal involvement at the time of diagnosis of lupus. Histological class IV was the most frequent (48%). Age under 10 years, absence of response to induction therapy, and histological class IV, were related to the development of chronic kidney disease (> 60 ml/min/1.73 m2).
Conclusions
Renal involvement was higher in this study. Age, class IV, and non-response to induction were associated with impaired renal function.
期刊介绍:
The Colombian Journal of Rheumatology (Revista Colombiana de Reumatología) is the official organ of the Colombian Association of Rheumatology (Asociación Colombiana de Reumatología) and the Central American, Caribbean and Andean Association of Rheumatology (Asociación Centroamericana Caribe Andina de Reumatología) - ACCA. It was created in December 1993 with the purpose of disseminating scientific information derived from primary and secondary research and presenting cases coming from the practice of Rheumatology in Latin America. Since its foundation, the Journal has been characterized by its plurality with subjects of all rheumatic and osteomuscular pathologies, in the form of original articles, historical articles, economic evaluations, and articles of reflection and education in Medicine. It covers an extensive area of topics ranging from the broad spectrum of the clinical aspects of rheumatology and related areas in autoimmunity (both in pediatric and adult pathologies), to aspects of basic sciences. It is an academic tool for the different members of the academic and scientific community at their different levels of training, from undergraduate to post-doctoral degrees, managing to integrate all actors inter and trans disciplinarily. It is intended for rheumatologists, general internists, specialists in related areas, and general practitioners in the country and abroad. It has become an important space in the work of all rheumatologists from Central and South America.
