摘要
To determine whether human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is associated with incipient tubular or glomerular defects, we determined the urinary excretion of four low molecular weight proteins (LMWP); beta(2)-microglobulin (U-beta(2)-m), cystatin C (U-cyst C), Clara cell protein (U-CC16), and retinol-binding protein (U-RBP), the markers of tubular dysfunction, the excretion of albumin (U-Alb), a marker of glomerular defect, and the excretion of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (U-NAG), a marker of structural damage of the proximal tubular epithelium. Their determinants have been assessed by stepwise regression analysis using as possible predictors age, sex, serum-beta(2)-m (S-beta(2)-m), CD4 lymphocyte count, or HIV infection stage and therapy. The study involved 76 HIV-infected patients without renal disease, 56 with S-beta(2)-m < 5 mg/L (Group B-1), 20 with S-beta(2)-m greater than or equal to 5 mg/L (Group B-2), and 30 HIV-negative controls. Fourteen patients (18.4%) had no abnormal urinary protein loss, and 62 (81.6%) had elevated urinary excretion of at least one protein (Alb, LMWP, or NAG). A single urinary protein was abnormal in 21 patients (U-beta(2)-m, n = 9; U-RBP, n = 2; U-CC16, n = 4; and U-Alb, n = 6). At least two LMWP were abnormal without increased U-Alb in 23 patients (12 with increased and 11 with normal U-NAG). Ten patients had an increased urinary excretion of at least one LMWP together with U-Alb (5 with increased and 5 with normal U-NAG). An increased urinary excretion of all proteins was observed in the last 8 patients. The average urinary excretion of all proteins (except cyst C) was significantly higher in HIV than in the control group. As expected, U-beta(2)-m and the prevalence of abnormal U-beta(2)-m values were higher in the B-2 than in the B-1 group (P = 0.0001), whereas the average urinary excretion and the prevalence of elevated values of Alb, LMWP (except beta(2)-m) or NAG were the same in both HIV groups. By stepwise regression analysis, age emerged as a significant determinant of urinary excretion of beta(2)-m and CC16, whereas male sex was associated with increased U-CC16. S-beta(2)-m, CD4-lymphocyte count, or HIV infection stage emerged as significant determinants only for U-beta(2)-m as a consequence of a close correlation between S-beta(2)-m and either HIV infection stage (r = -0.52, P = 0.0001), or CD4 count (r = -0.45, P = 0.0002). Over 80% of HIV-infected patients without overt renal disease have evidence of glomerular permeability defects or tubular dysfunction, whatever the stage of the disease. U-Alb, RBP, and CC16 appear as the most sensitive and reliable early markers of these abnormalities. Their cause and prognostic value remain to be determined.
