Transferrina e colagénio tipo IV : novos marcadores glomerulares de lesão renal

Abstract

A nefropatia diabética (ND) é uma das principais complicações microvasculares da diabetes e é definida pelo aumento da excreção urinária de albumina (euAl) ou pela diminuição da taxa de filtração glomerular (TFG). Nos Estados Unidos da América e na Europa, tornou-se a principal causa isolada de doença renal crónica em estádio 5 (classificação do Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative – KDOQI) devido a vários factores: aumento da prevalência da diabetes, particularmente da diabetes mellitus tipo 2 e aumento da esperança de vida dos doentes com diabetes. Actualmente a euAl é o principal e mais precoce marcador de lesão renal na nefropatia diabética, sendo utilizada para o seu diagnóstico bem como para a monitorização da sua progressão. No entanto, alguns doentes com diabetes apresentam importantes alterações histopatológicas renais associadas a declínio progressivo da taxa de filtração glomerular mantendo níveis de albuminúria dentro dos parâmetros normais, o que faz com que a albuminúria não seja um marcador ideal para a detecção precoce de ND. Sendo assim, com a presente tese pretende-se apresentar uma revisão bibliográfica de novos biomarcadores de excreção glomerular em investigação na ND e que poderão vir a ser usados para prever o início e/ou monitorizar a progressão da nefropatia. Dentro destes destacam-se a transferrina e o colagénio tipo IV, pois demonstraram ter um grande potencial na detecção de lesão glomerular em doentes normoalbuminúricos, podendo ter uma sensibilidade superior à albumina na detecção de complicações microvasculares.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the major microvascular complications of diabetes and it is defined as a rise in the urinary albumin excretion rate or decrease in glomerular filtration rate. In the USA and Europe, diabetes has become the most common single cause of stage 5 chronic renal disease (Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative classification) due to the fact that diabetes, particularly type 2, is increasing in prevalence and in life expectancy. Nowadays, urinary albumin excretion is the gold-standard marker of renal damage in DN and it is used to predict the onset and/or monitor the progression of nephropathy. However, some patients with diabetes have advanced renal pathological changes and progressive kidney function decline with urinary albumin excretion in the normal range, indicating that albuminuria is not the perfect marker for the early detection of DN. The aim of the present thesis is to discuss the current literature on new biomarkers of glomerular injury that have been implicated in DN and that are likely to be used to predict the onset and/or monitor the progression of nephropathy. In this paper I’ll discuss just two biomarkers: transferrin and type IV collagen, because they have shown great potential in the detection of glomerular injury on normoalbuminuric patients and may have a greater sensitivity than albumin in the detection of microvascular complications.
