Latent renal tubular dysfunction in patients with epilepsy treated with valproic acid
Background
Valproic acid (VPA)-induced Fanconi’s syndrome has been reported, especially in patients with severe motor and intellectual disabilities, with carnitine deficiency identified as a possible factor. Latent renal tubular dysfunction (RTD) has also been noted in patients with epilepsy treated with VPA. We aimed to evaluate latent RTD in patients treated with and without VPA by examining urine RTD markers and their relationships with clinical variables.
Methods
Urine N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase/creatinine (NAG/Cr) and β2-microglobulin/creatinine (BMG/Cr) were evaluated in 147 patients with childhood-onset epilepsy. NAG/Cr and BMG/Cr were compared between 90 patients treated with VPA (VPA group) and 57 patients treated with other anti-seizure medications (non-VPA group). Single correlations and multiple regression analyses were conducted between RTD markers and clinical variables in the VPA group.
Results
NAG/Cr was significantly higher in the VPA group than in the non-VPA group, whereas BMG/Cr was not significantly different. High or borderline NAG/Cr (>4.0 IU/g*Cr) was seen in 85 (94 %) patients on VPA, and high NAG/Cr (≥10.0 IU/g*Cr) was seen in 21 (23 %) on VPA. In the VPA group, NAG/Cr was significantly correlated with free carnitine (FC), VPA dose adjusted for body weight, and duration of treatment with VPA. BMG/Cr was significantly correlated with the number of antiseizure medications. Multiple regression analysis showed that NAG/Cr was significantly correlated with FC.
Conclusions
Latent RTD was found in many patients on VPA, and elevated RTD markers were correlated with carnitine deficiency. Physicians should be aware of latent RTD in patients with childhood-onset epilepsy treated with VPA.
期刊介绍:
Epilepsy Research provides for publication of high quality articles in both basic and clinical epilepsy research, with a special emphasis on translational research that ultimately relates to epilepsy as a human condition. The journal is intended to provide a forum for reporting the best and most rigorous epilepsy research from all disciplines ranging from biophysics and molecular biology to epidemiological and psychosocial research. As such the journal will publish original papers relevant to epilepsy from any scientific discipline and also studies of a multidisciplinary nature. Clinical and experimental research papers adopting fresh conceptual approaches to the study of epilepsy and its treatment are encouraged. The overriding criteria for publication are novelty, significant clinical or experimental relevance, and interest to a multidisciplinary audience in the broad arena of epilepsy. Review articles focused on any topic of epilepsy research will also be considered, but only if they present an exceptionally clear synthesis of current knowledge and future directions of a research area, based on a critical assessment of the available data or on hypotheses that are likely to stimulate more critical thinking and further advances in an area of epilepsy research.
