Prognostic factors in diffuse proliferative lupus glomerulonephritis

Abstract: A number of clinical laboratory and biopsy-derived parameters were assessed for their prognostic significance in the short (24 months), intermediate (60 months) and long terms in 45 patients (43 female, 2 male) with diffuse proliferative lupus glomerulonephritis (DPGN). The factors evaluated were serum creatinine (SCr) and urinary protein at time of biopsy, initial dose of prednisone and immunosuppressive after biopsy, activity index (AI), chronicity index (CI), their individual components, extent of extraglom… Show more

“…Similarly, the chronicity index has also been reported to correlate with the renal function [6, 11]. Of greater importance have been the reports that both activity [2, 3, 34]and chronicity indices [2, 3, 8, 11]may be useful in prognosis, although this again has not always been shown [9, 12]. …”

“…So far, they have not unequivocally been shown to be of prognostic value when added to clinical information and the histologic class. [15][16][17][18][19] Moreover, they do not show good reproducibility. 20,21 There are some lesions for which the A or C status is debatable (e.g., the membranoproliferative pattern, of which it is stated that this pattern ".…”

“…Outros fatores estudados como sexo, idade, proteinúria e presença de hipertensão arterial à época da bió-psia mostraram não ter valor prognóstico. A importância desses fatores como indicador prognós-tico ainda é discutível 10,[13][14][15]19,21,[24][25][26] . A sobrevida observada no presente trabalho (5 anos = 82%; 10 anos = 70%) é semelhante à observada nos países desenvolvidos onde varia entre 76 e 89% em 5 anos e entre 56 e 78% em 10 anos 8,10,14,15,19 .…”
