Hepatorenal and renocardial syndrome in young patients with acute glomerulonephritis

Abstract

In this paper we discuss classical types of acute glomerulonephritis in young adults, when the intake of paracetamol and diclofenac led to a dysfunctional and organic liver injury, at the same time it negatively affected the course of acute glomerulonephritis. To study the characteristics of the development of acute reno-cardial syndrome (ARCS) Goal: Assessment of cause and effect relations of renal, hearts and liver injuries in young adults in acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSG). With acute nephritic syndrome (ANS) complicated by acute kidney injury (AKI) and without it, to identify the role of the etiological factor on the course of APSG. Methods and Material: 220 male patients with APSG with ANS aged 18-20 were examined. The patients were divided into 2 groups based on the functional state of kidneys. The first group included 140 patients with APSG without ANS, the second group included 80 patients with AKI. Results: Out 66 patients had subclinical liver injury, which resulted from the effect of antipyretic hepatotoxic drugs taken in the initial stage of the disease. Due to the toxic and immunological liver injury, levels of transaminases increase, and albumin levels decrease. These changes occur along with the development of APSG and are correlated with some laboratory values. Impairment of cardiovascular function was observed in all 220 patients. ECG and Echocardiography studies conducted during the cardiac asthma attacks occurred as a decrease of voltage, broadening of the P wave, lengthening of the PQ interval, broadening of the QRS complex, dilatations of the right and left atrium. The severity of clinical manifestations of AKI and ARCS correlates with the degree of macrohematuria, GFR decrease, complement C3 fraction, monocyte. Conclusion. In APSG liver injury has a toxicoallergic character. Frequency of liver injury depends on specific features of a particular organism, it does not depend on the dose of the taken drug. In case of any type of acute glomerulonephritis it is necessary to assess the functional state of liver and after the treatment of the main disease hepatologist follow-up of patients is recommended. Thus in the development of acute reno-cardial syndrome (ARCS) the degree of manifestation of hypervolemia with hypertension, as a result of active immune inflammation of the glomerular apparatus with the development of AKI, plays the main role in the development of ARCS with APSG.. As a rule ARCS in case of APSG with ANS in young adults has a successful outcome.
