초록

목 적 : Alport증후군 환자의 사구체 기저막의 형태학적 변화 및 사구체 상피세포의 구조 변화에 따른 임상지표간의 상관 관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : Alport 증후군으로 확진된 15명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 사구체 기저막을 형태학적 변화에 따라 1) 정상(C1), 2) minor alteration: widening of lamina rara interna or externa without lamina densa changes (C2), 3)nonspecific splitting of lamina densa (C3), 4) basket-weave pattern of lamina densa splitting (C4)의 4가지 범주로 나누고 각 범주에 해당하는 사구체 기저막의 비율을(%) 측정하였다. 또한 각 범주의 사구체 기저막에서 사구체 기저막 $10\;{\mu}m$에 대한 상피세포의 세과여극(slit pore)의 밀도를 구하였고, 나이에 따른 사구체 기저막의 형태학적 변화를 살펴보았다. 결 과 : 요 중 단백질 배설량과 정상 기저막 소견(C1) 사이는 역비례 관계를 보였고(P<0.05), 요 중 단백질 배설량과 비정상 사구체 기저막 소견(C2+C3+C4) 사이는 정비례 관계를 보였다(P<0.05). 비정상적 기저막 소견을 보이는 각 범주와 단백뇨나 크레아티닌 청소율과는 의미 있는 상관관계가 없었다. 크레아티닌 청소율과 정상 사구체 기저막(C1)의 비율과의 관계는 통계적인 의미가 없었고(P=0.085), 비정상 사구체 기저막(C2+C3+C4)의 비율과도 통계적으로 의미가 없었다(P=0.080). 신생검 당시의 나이와 사구체 기저막의 형태학적 변화도 상관관계가 없었다. 결 론 : Alport 증후군 환자에서 사구체 기저막의 변화는 단백뇨와 관련성이 있지만 사구체 상피세포 구조와 사구체여과율과는 관련성이 없었다.

Purpose : This study was performed to evaluate the relationship between glomerular basement membrane (GBM) alterations to epithelial cell (EpC) structure and renal function in Alport Syndrome (AS) patients. Methods : Fifteen patients diagnosed with AS (4-26yrs) were examined. The GBM in AS was categorized as : C1) normal, C2) minor alterations (widening of lamina rara interna or externa without lamina densa change), C3) nonspecific splitting of lamina densa, C4) basket-weaving pattern of lamina densa splitting. The length of each GBM portion along the epithelial side was measured on the systematically obtained electron microscopic photographs. Furthermore to obtain an objective assessment of the degree of glomerular EpC foot process change, the number of slit pores along $10\;{\mu}m$ of peripheral GBM in each category was obtained. Results : The percentage of normal GBM portion (C1) correlated inversely with daily protein excretion (g/day/$m^2$, P<0.05) and sum of the percentage of abnormal GBM portion (C2+C3+C4) had direct correlation with daily protein excretion (g/day/$m^2$, P<0.05). There were no significant relationships between the percentages of other categories of GBM alterations and creatinine clearance or protein excretion. There were no significant relationships between of creatinine clearance in relation to normal GBM(C1) portion as well as that in relation to sum of the percentage of abnormal GBM portion (C2+C3+C4). GBM abnormality did not correlate with age at biopsy. Conclusion : The extent of GBM structural abnormality is related to proteinuria in AS but the epithelial response is uniform even though the GBM ultrastructural lesions are not.
