Chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) has been a problem in renal practice as indefinite diagnosis may lead to inappropriate management. Here, we report a 54-year-old father diagnosed with CKDu at 33 years old and his 8-year-old son with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. Using whole-exome sequencing, both were found to be heterozygous for c.737G>A (p.Arg246Gln) in LMX1B. The diagnosis of LMX1B-associated nephropathy has led to changes in the treatment plan with appropriate genetic counseling. The previously reported cases with this particular mutation were also reviewed. Most children with LMX1B-associated nephropathy had nonnephrotic proteinuria with normal renal function. Interestingly, our pediatric case presented with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome at 8 years old and progressed to ESRD requiring peritoneal dialysis at the age of 15 years. Our report emphasized the need of genetic testing in CKDu for definite diagnosis leading to precise management.

Описан клинический случай пациент с нефротическим синдромом, стероид резистентный вариант, с артериальной гипертензией, осложненный полисерозитом (гидроторакс, асцит, плеврит). Пациент поступил в клинику в состоянии средней степени тяжести, с массивными отеками, полисерозитом, артериальной гипертензией и выраженным нефротическим синдромом. Диагноз: Гломерулярная болезнь. Нефротический синдром, стероид резистентный вариант. Функция почек снижена (СКФ- 84мл/мин по Шварцу). Двухсторонний экссудативный плеврит. Гидроторакс. Полисерозит (в рамках нефротического синдрома) был установлен на основании выраженного нефротического синдрома. Пациенту была проведена патогенетическая терапия. Отмечено улучшение состояния больного, в виде снижения отеков, нормализаций артериального давления, что в свою очередь поспособствовало сохранению и улучшению качества жизни пациента. A clinical case of a patient with nephrotic syndrome, steroidresistant variant, with arterial hypertension complicated by polyserositis (hydrothorax, ascites, pleurisy) is described. The patient was admitted to the clinic in a state of moderate severity, with massive edema, polyserositis, arterial hypertension, and severe nephrotic syndrome. Diagnosis: Glomerular disease. Nephrotic syndrome, steroidresistant variant. The kidney function is reduced (GFR - 84 ml/min according to Schwartz). Bilateral exudative pleurisy. Hydrothorax. Polyserositis (within the framework of nephrotic syndrome) was established based on the severe nephrotic syndrome. The patient underwent pathogenetic therapy. An improvement in the patient's condition was noted, in the form of a decrease in edema, normalization of blood pressure, which in turn contributed to the preservation and improvement of the patient's quality of life.

Abstract Background and Aims Monogenic causes of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) have been reported for up to one-third of children depending on age of the disease onset. Immunosuppressive treatment of genetic SRNS with calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) is still controversial. The aim of the study was to investigate the efficacy of CNIs with focus on inducing remission and long-term kidney function in children with monogenic SRNS. Method Retrospective analysis of efficacy CNIs in five children (2M/3F) with monogenic SRNS was performed. Kidney biopsy prior CNIs revealed FSGS (n=4) and MCD (n=1). The initial cyclosporine (CsA) dose was 5 mg/kg/24h to keep a target level of 80-150 ng/ml and tacrolimus (TAC) - 0.1 mg/kg/24h to achieve a target level of 5-10 ng/ml. CsA took all 5 patients with subsequent switching to TAC in 2 children due to cosmetic side effects. The median follow-up period was 165.0 (IQR: 59.0; 185.5) months. Next generation sequencing (NGS) was used for identification of pathogenic variants in all patients. Results The median age at onset of monogenic SRNS was 33.0 (IQR: 16.5; 63.0) months. 2/5 (40%) patients presented with acute SRNS, 1/5 (20%) child with infantile NS, 1/5 (20%) - with isolated nephrotic range proteinuria with hypoalbuminemia and 1/5 (20%) - with NS and extrarenal features of Nail-Patella syndrome. NGS identified previously described pathogenic variants in all 5 children, including NPHS2 homozygous c.28dup (p.Glu87Ter) (n=1), NPHS2 compound heterozygous c.868G>A (p.Val290Met) in combination with c.686G>A (p.Arg229Gln) (n=1), LMX1B heterozygous c.788T>G (p.Val263Gly) (n=1), LMX1B heterozygous c.737G>A (p.Arg246Gln) (n=1), and COL4A3 heterozygous c.2962G>A (p.Gly988Arg) variant (n=1). The median time from diagnosis to initiation of CNIs treatment was 72.0 (IQR: 33.0; 93.0) months. CNIs induced complete remission in 2/5 (40%) patients, presented with acute SRNS, including one girl with MCD due to NPHS2 compound heterozygous variants with mutation-dependent pathogenicity of one (p.R229Q) of them and one boy with FSGS due to COL4A3 heterozygous variant (n=1). Partial remission was induced by CNIs in 2/5 (40%) girls with FSGS due to LMX1B heterozygous variants with isolated SRNS (n=1) and Nail-Patella syndrome (n=1). The median duration of CNIs treatment to obtain complete or partial remission was 13.5 (IQR: 6.8; 15.8) months. Acute CNIs-associated nephrotoxicity had 2 patients with LMX1B variants. At the last follow up full and partial responders to CNIs treatment aged of 16.5 (IQR: 11.8; 17.5) years had CKD-1 (n=3) and CKD-2 (n=1). 1/5 (20%) boy with NPHS2-associated infantile NS was CNI resistant and developed CKD-5 at the age of 6.5 years with subsequent living related kidney transplantation. Conclusion We found that 4/5 (80%) children with monogenic SRNS demonstrated partial or full response to CNIs treatment with stable long-term kidney function. We assume that CNIs might improve podocyte function by stabilization of their cytoskeleton disrupted in patients with monogenic SRNS.

Background Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) often develops into end stage renal disease. Previous studies have reported that NPHS2 gene mutation, gender, and atopic history are risk factors associated with SRNS. Interethnic, sociocultural, and environmental differences have also been suggested to affect these mutations.Objective To analyze possible risk factors for SRNS, including NPHS2 gene mutations (412C→T and 419delG), gender and atopic history, in Indonesian subjects with SRNS.Methods A case-control study with 153 subjects, consisting of 88 SRNS patients and 65 control subjects, was undertaken in 10 Indonesian teaching centre hospitals from September 2006 to December 2007. Analysis of the NPHS2 gene mutation in 412 C→T was performed by amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR), while that for the NPHS2 gene mutation in 419delG was performed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Data was analyzed by multiple logistic regression.Results In our Indonesian subjects, the significant risk factors for SRNS were male gender (OR=2.21; CI 95%:1.07-4.56, P=0.036), NPHS2 412C→T gene mutation (OR=18.07; CI 95%:6.76-48.31, P<0.001), and NPHS2 419delG gene mutation (OR=4.55; CI 95%:1.66-12.47, P=0.003). However, atopic history was not a significant risk factor for SRNS (OR=1.807; CI 95%:0.642-5.086, P=0.262).Conclusion NPHS2 412C→T and 419delG gene mutations, as well as male gender are risk factors for SRNS in Indonesian subjects. Atopic history was not significantly associated with SRNS in our subjects. [Paediatr Indones. 2011;51:272-6].
