Awazu M, Matsumura K. Utility of fractional excretion of magnesium in diagnosing renal magnesium wasting in pediatric nephrology practice. Clin Biochem 2024; 131-132:110807. [PMID: 39059606 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinbiochem.2024.110807] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2024] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fractional excretion of magnesium (FEMg) is commonly used to diagnose of renal magnesium (Mg) wasting, but it can be affected by serum Mg (SMg) and serum creatinine concentration (SCr). We investigated the sensitivity and specificity of FEMg to diagnose Mg wasting in subgroups with different SMg and eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) in pediatric nephrology practice. METHODS One hundred and nineteen patients (59 males and 60 females, median 15 years) seen in our pediatric clinic were investigated for FEMg, SMg, eGFR, and urine Mg-to-creatinine ratio (Mg/Cr). Normal eGFR was defined as ≥ 90 ml/min/1.73 m2 or for infants SCr < chronic kidney disease stage 2. Urine Mg/Cr was compared with age-specific reference values. RESULTS Sixteen of all patients (13 %) had hypomagnesemia. All had FEMg greater than the cut-off value of 2 %. Only 4 patients had elevated urine Mg/Cr. Of 65 patients with normal SMg and eGFR, 19 had FEMg above the cut-off value of 4 %. Of these, 13 patients had elevated urine Mg/Cr i.e. Mg wasting (sensitivity and specificity of FEMg, 93 % and 88 %, respectively). Among 38 patients with normal SMg and low eGFR, 30 had FEMg > 4 %, but only 6 had elevated urine Mg/Cr (sensitivity 100 % and specificity 25 %). Overall, hypomagnesemic patients and normomagnesemic patients with elevated urine Mg/Cr were diagnosed with Mg wasting (36/119, 30 %). CONCLUSIONS FEMg has variable sensitivity and specificity depending on SMg and eGFR in the diagnosis of Mg wasting. Mg wasting is not uncommon in pediatric nephrology practice.

Development of a tool for predicting HNF1B mutations in children and young adults with congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract. Pediatr Nephrol 2024; 39:1847-1858. [PMID: 38196016 PMCID: PMC11026189 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-023-06262-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to develop a tool for predicting HNF1B mutations in children with congenital abnormalities of the kidneys and urinary tract (CAKUT). METHODS The clinical and laboratory data from 234 children and young adults with known HNF1B mutation status were collected and analyzed retrospectively. All subjects were randomly divided into a training (70%) and a validation set (30%). A random forest model was constructed to predict HNF1B mutations. The recursive feature elimination algorithm was used for feature selection for the model, and receiver operating characteristic curve statistics was used to verify its predictive effect. RESULTS A total of 213 patients were analyzed, including HNF1B-positive (mut + , n = 109) and HNF1B-negative (mut - , n = 104) subjects. The majority of patients had mild chronic kidney disease. Kidney phenotype was similar between groups, but bilateral kidney anomalies were more frequent in the mut + group. Hypomagnesemia and hypermagnesuria were the most common abnormalities in mut + patients and were highly selective of HNF1B. Hypomagnesemia based on age-appropriate norms had a better discriminatory value than the age-independent cutoff of 0.7 mmol/l. Pancreatic anomalies were almost exclusively found in mut + patients. No subjects had hypokalemia; the mean serum potassium level was lower in the HNF1B cohort. The abovementioned, discriminative parameters were selected for the model, which showed a good performance (area under the curve: 0.85; sensitivity of 93.67%, specificity of 73.57%). A corresponding calculator was developed for use and validation. CONCLUSIONS This study developed a simple tool for predicting HNF1B mutations in children and young adults with CAKUT.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:911526. [PMID: 35846334 PMCID: PMC9281895 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.911526] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 5 (MODY5), a rare disease, is very easy to be misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes. To get better understanding of the disease, we analyzed the clinical characteristics and gene mutations of MODY5. METHODS PubMed, Cochrane, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang were searched with the following search terms: "MODY5" OR "HNF1B maturity-onset diabetes of the young" OR "maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 5" OR "renal cysts and diabetes syndrome". Clinical characteristics and gene mutations of MODY5 were analyzed. The demography, clinical characteristics, and blood indicators of patients were described utilizing simple summary statistics. Variables were analyzed by t-test, Wilcoxon signed rank test, and Fisher exact test. Spearman's correlation analysis was used for bi-variate analysis. All tests were two-sided, and a p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 26 for Windows (SPSS). RESULTS A total of 48 literatures were included in this study, including 61 eligible patients and 4 different mutations. Of the 39 patients with available body weight index, 15 (38.46%) were underweight, 21 (53.85%) were normal weight and 3 (7.69%) were overweight or obese. Of the 38 patients with available family history, 25 (65.79%) reported a family history of diabetes. Of the 34 patients with available age of diabetes diagnosis, the median age of diabetes diagnosis was 16.00 years old and 88.24% (30/34) of patients were under 25 years old when they were first diagnosed with diabetes. Renal cysts were presented in 72.41%, hypomagnesemia in 91.67%, and pancreatic dysplasia in 71.88% of the patients. Patients with hepatocyte nuclear factor 1B (HNF1B) deletion had lower serum magnesium, serum creatinine, and higher eGFR than patients with other gene mutations, and the difference was statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS The young onset of diabetes with low or normal BMI, renal cysts, hypomagnesemia, and pancreatic dysplasia should be recommended to genetic testing in order to differentiate MODY5 from other types of diabetes earlier.

The wind of change in the management of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease in childhood. Pediatr Nephrol 2022; 37:473-487. [PMID: 33677691 PMCID: PMC8921141 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-021-04974-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2020] [Revised: 12/28/2020] [Accepted: 01/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Significant progress has been made in understanding the genetic basis of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), quantifying disease manifestations in children, exploring very-early onset ADPKD as well as pharmacological delay of disease progression in adults. At least 20% of children with ADPKD have relevant, yet mainly asymptomatic disease manifestations such as hypertension or proteinuria (in line with findings in adults with ADPKD, where hypertension and cardiovascular damage precede decline in kidney function). We propose an algorithm for work-up and management based on current recommendations that integrates the need to screen regularly for hypertension and proteinuria in offspring of affected parents with different options regarding diagnostic testing, which need to be discussed with the family with regard to ethical and practical aspects. Indications and scope of genetic testing are discussed. Pharmacological management includes renin-angiotensin system blockade as first-line therapy for hypertension and proteinuria. The vasopressin receptor antagonist tolvaptan is licensed for delaying disease progression in adults with ADPKD who are likely to experience kidney failure. A clinical trial in children is currently ongoing; however, valid prediction models to identify children likely to suffer kidney failure are lacking. Non-pharmacological interventions in this population also deserve further study.

Pediatr Nephrol 2020; 35:1877-1886. [PMID: 32388583 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-020-04576-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2019] [Revised: 04/05/2020] [Accepted: 04/15/2020] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypomagnesemia in patients with congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract or autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease is highly suggestive of HNF1B-associated disease. Intriguingly, the frequency of low serum Mg2+ (sMg) level varies and is lower in children than in adults with HNF1B mutations that could be partially due to application of inaccurate normal limit of sMg, irrespective of age and gender. We aimed to re-assess cross-sectionally and longitudinally the frequency of hypomagnesemia in HNF1B disease by using locally derived reference values of sMg. METHODS Fourteen children with HNF1B-associated kidney disease were included. Control group comprising 110 subjects served to generate 2.5th percentiles of sMg as the lower limits of normal. RESULTS In both controls and patients, sMg correlated with age, gender, and fractional excretion of Mg2+. In girls, sMg concentration was higher than in boys when analyzed in the entire age spectrum (p < 0.05). In HNF1B patients, mean sMg was lower than in controls as compared with respective gender- and age-specific interval (p < 0.001). Low sMg levels (< 0.7 mmol/l) were found in 21.4% of patients at diagnosis and 36.4% at last visit, which rose to 85.7% and 72.7% respectively when using the age- and gender-adjusted reference data. Similarly, in the longitudinal observation, 23% of sMg measurements were < 0.7 mmol/l versus 79.7% when applying respective references. CONCLUSIONS Hypomagnesemia is underdiagnosed in children with HNF1B disease. sMg levels are age- and gender-dependent; thus, the use of appropriate reference data is crucial to hypomagnesemia in children.
