Abstract
Morphological changes of podocyte mitochondria are observed in patients with mitochondrial cytopathy and nephrotic syndrome. However, whether mitochondrial dynamics involved in podocyte in lupus nephritis (LN) is still not clear. This study aims to investigate the associations between mitochondrial morphology and podocyte lesions and laboratory and pathological features in LN. The foot process width (FPW) and mitochondrial morphology were observed through electron microscope. Then the associations between mitochondrial morphology and podocyte lesions and laboratory features were explored in various International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society class LN patients. Foot process effacement and excessive mitochondria fission in podocyte were observed and proteinuria was positively correlated with FPW. Mitochondria area, circumference, and aspect ratio were negatively correlated with BUN, and 24h-UTP positively correlated with Alb. At the same time, Alb was negatively correlated with form factor. FPW, form factor, surface density, and numerical density on area were positively correlated with 24h-UTP. Excessive mitochondrial fission is associated with podocyte damage and proteinuria, whereas the mechanism still needs to be explored.
