Abstract

We report the treatment of 5 patients with crescentic glomerulonephritis by immunoadsorption using a protein A column. Two had systemic vasculitis, 2 antiglomerular basement membrane disease and 1 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In the patients with systemic vasculitis and SLE, there was successful removal of autoantibodies and rapid control of disease; remission was maintained over a mean follow-up of 2 years. Clinical improvement was not seen in 2 patients with anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease who presented with dialysis-dependent renal failure. There were no apparent clinical side-effects related to the immunoadsorption procedure. Protein A immunoadsorption offers a semiselective alternative to plasma exchange and appears to be safe and efficient in removing pathogenic autoantibodies in crescentic glomerulonephritis without anti-GBM antibodies.

Abstract

Strenuous physical exercise causes transient proteinuria and renal hemodynamic changes: decrease of renal blood flow and to a lesser extent of the glomerular filtration rate, and an increase of the filtration fraction. However, the mechanisms of these modifications are still poorly understood. In order to elucidate them we performed maximal exercise tests on 8 untrained healthy volunteers after inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) by captopril, the sympathetic nervous system by a beta-blocking drug (acebutolol) or an alpha-blocking drug (prazosin) and the prostaglandin system by indomethacin. Urinary albumin excretion was measured in every subject first at rest (AB) and then after exercise (AA) performed successively without and with blockade by each of theses drugs. AA-AB difference in the captopril test (12.04 +/- 6.11 micrograms/min) compared to that in the control test (68.91 +/- 25.18 micrograms/min) was significantly reduced (p less than 0.02). This difference remained unchanged after acebutolol (59.87 +/- 21.91 micrograms/min, p = 0.62), prazosin (35.23 +/- 27.80 micrograms/min, p = 0.21) and indomethacin (55.21 +/- 28.43 micrograms/min, p = 0.35). There was a negative correlation between the lowering of AA elevation and the rise in plasma renin activity in the captopril test (r = 0.64; p less than 0.03). Only acebutolol decreased systolic blood pressure significantly. These results suggest that the RAS plays a major role in postexercise proteinuria. We hypothesize that stimulation of this system induces an increase of efferent glomerular artery constriction and consequently of glomerular transcapillary pressure and the filtration fraction. Captopril seems able to prevent these hemodynamic changes.
