
Current trends in PIGN in adults

Staphylococcus and IgA dominant PIGN
Postinfectious Glomerulonephritis


Acute postinfectious GN (APIGN) = disease of childhood
Commonly following a streptococcal infection (= APSGN)

Clinical presentation:
3 phase sequence: infection - interval - nephritic syndrome

Course of disease:
1 week: onset of diuresis
4 weeks: normalization of creatinine
3-6 months: resolution of hematuria; resolution of mesangial hypercellularity
Years: resolution of proteinuria
APIGN: Histology
Humps
APIGN: Outcome

Long term follow up studies: excellent prognosis for most
children with the epidemic form

A Japanese study followed 138 children with non-epidemic form:
None developed renal insufficiency, all had normal serum complement
within 12 weeks, resolution of proteinuria within 3 yrs and
hematuria within 4 yrs (Kasahara T et al, Pediatr Int 2001; 43: 364)

A 12-17 yrs f/u study of 534 children and adults in Trinidad showed
complete recovery in 96.5% (Potter EV et al, NEJM 1982; 307: 725)

A 2005 study from Brazil studied 56 patients for 5.4 yrs who had APIGN
related to an outbreak of Streptococcus zooepidemicus:
30% with HTN, 49 % with reduced GFR, 22% with microalbuminuria
(Sesso R et al, Nephrol Dial Transplant 2005; 20:1808)

Literature reports recovery rate in adults 53-76%

with cyclophosphamide:
2 died, 2 on HD, 3 with progressive CD, 5 with stable
proteinuria, 5 with CR


untreated (but pt with steroids with higher creatinine and
interstitial inflammation)


Staph and the Kidney

2 staphylococcal associated GN:
- acute proliferative exudative GN associated with
S. aureus endocarditis (resembling poststreptococcal
GN)
- membranoproliferative GN associated with
S. epidermidis and ventricular shunt infections (“shunt
nephritis”)
Nasr SH et al, Hum Pathol 2003, 34: 1235
MRSA and PIGN

In 1980, Spector et al first reported 3 pt with S. aureus visceral
abscesses who developed acute mesangial proliferative GN with
mesangial IgA deposits

In 1995, Koyama et al reported 10 pt who developed a rapidly
progressive GN with nephrotic syndrome associated with MRSA
infections (abdominal 8, PNA 2, arthritis 1, phlegmon 1)

Renal biopsy in 6 pt showed proliferative GN with various degrees
of crescent formation and glomerular deposition of IgA , IgG and C3

Elevated serum IgA/IgG and immune complexes levels

High number of T cells with Vb+ usage in the TCR: ? Superantigen
driven event

Named “MRSA Nephritis” or “Superantigen- related Nephritis”
Spector DA et al, Clin Nephrol 1980; 14: 256
Koyama A et al, Kidney Internat 1995; 47: 207
MRSA and PIGN

Recent reports: similar features after MSSA and MRSE infections

Clinical presentation:
- acute RF with hematuria, severe proteinuria
- onset 2-16 weeks after infection
- +/- purpura, +/- hypocomplementemia

Mostly mesangial proliferative GN, often with crescents and (pre-)
dominant mesangial IgA deposits

Several cases do not have subepithelial humps, the “hallmark” of PIGN

Treatment of infection lead to resolution of GN; however 40-60% of pt
developed ESRD

Steroid treatment was related to the death in 2 people but recent report
suggest positive outcome if used after cure of infection

Pathogenesis

Link between staphylococcal enterotoxins and T cell/cytokine
activation?

Superantigen triggered cytokine activation leads to class switching
to IgA?

Link to a staphylococcal cell wall antigen that co-localizes in
glomeruli of patients with MRSA nephritis?

Other IgA dominant immune responses against staphylococcal
antigens? (eg an envelope antigen called ‘probable adhesin’ that is
also found in IgA nephropathy)

Yoh K et al, Nephrol Dial Transplant 2000; 15: 1170
Shimizu Y et al, J Nephrol 2005; 18: 249
Diabetes, Staph and the Kidney

In 2003, Nasr et al in New York reported 5 pt with DM who developed
an IgA dominant GN after staphylococcal infection

Histology showed diabetic nephropathy with superimposed
endocapillary proliferation with neutrophils and some degree of
interstitial inflammation

IgA sole immunoglobulin in 3 cases; IF with mesangial or
mesangial/capillary granular IgA and C3 staining

EM: all cases with predominantly mesangial deposits and sparse
subepithelial deposits

Findings were similar to IgA nephropathy but all pt had low
complement, endocapillary hypercellularity and humps
Nasr et al, Hum Pathol 2003; 34: 1235
Endocapillary proliferation
Granular IgA
Nodular sclerosis
Subendothelial and
subepithelial deposits
IGA-PIGN vs IgA nephropathy
IgA nephropathy:
, IgA1 and J chain predominance?
Nasr SH et al, Kidney International 2007; 71: 1317
Diabetes and IgA nephropathy

Increased serum levels of IgA and IgA immune complexes
- secondary to (silent) mucosal infection
- abnormal IgA clearance (abnormal glycosylation or sialylation)

Thickened BM and mesangial sclerosis hinders subepithelial deposit
formation >> predominantly mesangial deposition
Nasr SH et al, Kidney International 2007; 71: 1317
IgA predominant postinfectious GN



Recently, Haas et al added 13 cases from John Hopkins University
Selection criteria included IgA deposits + 3 or more subepithelial
humps, no clinical history
Not only associated with staphylococcal infection
Haas M et al, Hum Pathol 2008; 39: 1309
Case follow-up

7/11: Proximal femoral osteotomy and acetabular excavation performed;
antibiotic cement beads with vancomycin/tobramycin placed

On 7/17, vancomycin switched to linezolid given worsening renal failure

Creatinine slowly improved:
7/30 8.9
8/14 5.9
10/08 2.7
Summary

Epidemiology of APIGN is shifting

Diabetes, alcoholism and age emerge as major risk factor; prognosis is
worse in pt with comorbidities and renal inflammation

Microbiology is changing and staphylococci are increasingly important
in APIGN

Histologic pattern are changing, especially in immunocompromised
persons
Summary

IgA predominant APIGN is recognized as 3rd entity of
staphylococcal associated GN

IgA dominant PIGN can be associated with diabetic
nephropathy

Exact pathologic diagnosis and pathogenesis is still under
debate

This entity has to be differentiated from IgA nephropathy (and
pauci-immune ANCA related GN)

Treatment of infection can lead to recovery; however, pt with
underlying diabetic GS have poor prognosis
