The degree of interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) is one of the
strongest prognostic factors in glomerulonephritis (GN). In experimental models,
high serum uric acid (UA) could contribute to IFTA through direct effects on the
renal tubules, but the significance of this process has not been evaluated in
patients. Urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is produced by
renal tubules following acute or chronic damage. We investigated the relationship
between UA and NGAL excretion in primary GN and tested whether these biomarkers
are independently associated with IFTA. Urine and blood were collected from
patients on the day of kidney biopsy. IFTA was assessed semi-quantitatively.
Fifty-one patients with primary GN were enrolled. NGAL/creatinine correlated
significantly with proteinuria but not with glomerular filtration rate (GFR). By
contrast, UA correlated with GFR but not with proteinuria. NGAL/creatinine did
not correlate with UA. Both NGAL/creatinine and UA increased with the severity of
IFTA. By multivariate analysis, GFR, NGAL/creatinine, and UA were independently
associated with moderate-to-severe IFTA. Combining UA and NGAL/creatinine with
classical predictors (proteinuria and GFR) tended to improve discrimination for
moderate-to-severe IFTA. Findings that UA was unrelated to urinary NGAL excretion
suggest that the two biomarkers reflect different pathways related to the
development of IFTA in primary GN. Both NGAL/creatinine and UA were independently
associated with moderate-to-severe IFTA.
