Abstract
Our understanding of the various aspects of pregnancy in women with kidney diseases has significantly improved in the last decades. Nevertheless, little is known about specific kidney diseases. Glomerular diseases are not only a frequent cause of chronic kidney disease in young women, but combine many challenges in pregnancy: immunologic diseases, hypertension, proteinuria, and kidney tissue damage. An international working group undertook the review of available current literature and elicited expert opinions on glomerular diseases in pregnancy with the aim to provide pragmatic information for nephrologists according to the present state-of-the-art knowledge. This work also highlights areas of clinical uncertainty and emphasizes the need for further collaborative studies to improve maternal and fetal health.

Abstract
Since 1995, when we reported the case of a patient with glomerulonephritis with IgA deposition that occurred after a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection, many reports of MRSA infection-associated glomerulonephritis have accumulated. This disease is being systematized as Staphylococcus infection-associated glomerulonephritis (SAGN) in light of the apparent cause of infection, and as immunoglobulin A-dominant deposition infection-related glomerulonephritis (IgA-IRGN) in light of its histopathology. This glomerulonephritis usually presents as rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis or acute kidney injury with various degrees of proteinuria and microscopic hematuria along with an ongoing infection. Its renal pathology has shown several types of mesangial and/or endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis with various degrees of crescent formation and tubulointerstitial nephritis. IgA, IgG, and C3 staining in the mesangium and along the glomerular capillary walls have been observed on immunofluorescence examinations. A marked activation of T cells, an increase in specific variable regions of the T-cell receptor β-chain-positive cells, hypercytokinemia, and increased polyclonal immune complexes have also been observed in this glomerulonephritis. In the development of this disease, staphylococcal enterotoxin may be involved as a superantigen, but further investigations are needed to clarify the mechanisms underlying this disease. Here, we review 336 cases of IgA-IRGN and 218 cases of SAGN.

Pediatr Nephrol 2022; 37:593-600. [PMID: 34453602 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-021-05245-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2021] [Revised: 06/29/2021] [Accepted: 07/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND IgA-dominant infection-associated glomerulonephritis is well-documented in adults but has not been studied in depth in children. We assessed the incidence of pediatric IgA-dominant infection-associated glomerulonephritis and clinical and kidney biopsy findings. METHODS Pediatric native kidney biopsies over a 10-year period with IgA dominance, strong C3, and findings indicative of infection-associated etiology were identified. RESULTS We identified 9 cases of IgA-dominant infection-associated glomerulonephritis, 0.8% of pediatric native kidney biopsies. Seven patients presented with elevated creatinine. All had hematuria and proteinuria. Eight patients had clinical evidence of infection: one each with central port infection by methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, recurrent streptococcal pharyngitis and recent otitis media, streptococcal pharyngitis demonstrated 8 months after biopsy, suspected streptococcal scalded skin syndrome, and viral gastroenteritis, and three with serologic evidence of Streptococcal infection but no identified site of infection. All but one patient experienced short-term normalization of creatinine and resolution of proteinuria, though two eventually progressed to kidney failure: one 3 years later due to progressive disease and one 11 years later due to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis without concurrent immune deposits. CONCLUSIONS Pediatric IgA-dominant infection-associated glomerulonephritis is rare, and generally has a favorable prognosis, contrasting that seen in adults with severe comorbidities. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary.

Abstract
The renal involvement of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been reported. The etiology of kidney injury appears to be tubular, mainly due to the expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, the key joint receptor for SARS-CoV-2; however, cases with glomerular implication have also been documented. The multifactorial origin of this renal involvement could include virus-mediated injury, cytokine storm, angiotensin II pathway activation, complement dysregulation, hyper-coagulation, and microangiopathy. We present the renal histological findings from a patient who developed acute kidney injury and de novo nephrotic syndrome, highly suggestive of acute IgA-dominant infection-associated glomerulonephritis (IgA-DIAGN) after SARS-CoV-2 infection, as evidenced by the presence of this virus detected in the renal tissue of the patient via immunohistochemistry assay. In summary, we document the first case of IgA-DIAGN associated to SARS-CoV-2. Thus, SARS-CoV-2 S may act as a super antigen driving the development of multisystem inflammatory syndrome as well as cytokine storm in patients affected by COVID-19, reaching the glomerulus and leading to the development of this novel IgA-DIAGN.
