Kidney Injury Molecule-1 and Periostin Urinary Excretion and Tissue Expression Levels and Association with Glomerular Disease Outcomes.


ABSTRACT:

Introductions

Kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and periostin (POSTN) are proximal and distal tubule injury biomarkers. We tested whether baseline urine KIM-1/creatinine (uKIM-1/cr) and/or uPOSTN/cr correlated with disease severity or improved a remission prediction model.

Methods

Baseline uKIM1/cr and uPOSTN/cr were measured on spot urine samples from immunosuppression-free patients enrolled in Nephrotic Syndrome Study Network until December 15, 2014. Urine protein/creatinine (UPCR) and albumin/creatinine (UACR) were measured at baseline, 4 months, and until last follow-up. Glomerular and tubulointerstitial (TI) expression arrays were analyzed from a baseline research renal biopsy core collected during a clinically indicated biopsy.Renal diagnoses were centrally confirmed, sections scanned, and measured morphometrically. Correlations between baseline uKIM-1/cr and uPOSTN/cr and UPCR, UACR, histopathologic features, glomerular and TI KIM-1 and POSTN expression levels, and renal outcomes were assessed.

Results

Baseline uKIM-1/cr correlated with UPCR and UACR, and were associated with complete remission after adjustment for proteinuria, histopathologic diagnosis, and treatment. Baseline uKIM-1/cr also correlated with degree of foot process effacement and acute tubular injury. Glomerular and TI KIM-1 expression levels correlated with UPCR and UACR. Higher TI KIM-1 expression levels correlated with interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy, and global glomerulosclerosis, while glomerular KIM-1 expression correlated with time to remission. Findings for POSTN were of lesser statistical strength.

Discussion/conclusion

Lower baseline uKIM-1/cr values were associated with more rapid time to complete remission after adjusting for proteinuria, histopathologic diagnosis, and treatment. Increased TI KIM-1 expression levels in proteinuric states were associated with chronic morphological injury; lower glomerular expression levels were associated with a greater potential for proteinuria reversibility.
