摘要

Background: Renal involvement in Visceral Leishmaniasis has been reported in the form of proteinuria, microscopic haematuria, acute renal failure and histologic abnormalities in kidney biopsy. However, renal disease in Visceral Leishmaniasis is not widely documented from India, despite kala-azar being endemic in this country. Material methods: We have studied incidence and spectrum of clinical renal disease in patients with Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL). This study included 240 (Male: 154 and Female: 86) patients with parasitological confirmed diagnosis of VL over a period of two years (April 2002 – April 2004). The presence of oliguria, edema, proteinuria, elevated serum creatinine and haematuria either alone or in combination were taken as evidence of clinical renal disease. Renal tissue under light microscope was studied in six cases.Observation: The renal involvement was documented in 37/240 (15%) patients. The age (Male:32; Female:05) of the patient ranged between 15-36 years. The spectrum of renal diseases included; proteinuria in the range of 1-2 gm/day (15%), abnormal urinary sediment (4%), edema (9%) and acute renal failure (15%) of cases. Dialytic support was not needed. All patients received Amphotericin B (1.0 mg per kg body wt.) as anti-leishmanial treatment for 15 infusions. Renal histology in six patients revealed; ATN (4), AIN (01) and thrombotic microangiopathy in (01) patients. Glomerular lesions were not observed in our study. There was no mortality. Conclusion: Renal disease can occur during the course of Visceral Leishmaniasis. They were of mild nature and reversible with treatment of Kala-azar without specific treatment. Acute renal failure is mostly related to prerenal factors and overall renal disease carry good prognosis in patient with Visceral Leishmaniasis. Introduction Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a disseminated protozoal infection of reticuloendothelial system caused by Leishmania donovani and characterized by fever, hepatosplenomegaly, anaemia, leucopenia, thrombocytopenia and hyperglobulinemia (1). Renal involvement in the form of proteinuria (usually < 1gm/24hrs) and acute renal dysfunction have been reported in Indian patients with Kala-azar (2). Different patterns of renal histological lesions had been described in experimental animals (3, 4). Acute interstitial nephritis related to visceral leishmaniasis was described in autopsy study of 21 patients from Sao Paulo general hospital (5). Immune complex mediated glomerulonephritis was reported in patients with VL by other workers as well (6, 7). Visceral leishmaniasis causing graft dysfunction is reported in renal transplant recipient (8, 9). However, renal disease is not well documented from India, despite VL being endemic disease in eastern part of the country. We have studied incidence and spectrum of clinical renal disease in patients with VL at Kala-azar unit of our hospital. Material Methods This study was carried in the Department of Nephrology and Kala-azar unit of Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India between April 2002 to May 2004. Two hundred and forty (male: 154; female: 86) patients with parasitologically confirmed diagnosis of VL were included in the study. Diagnosis of Kala-azar was proved by demonstration of Leishmania Donovani (LD) bodies in bone marrow/spleenic aspirate. All patients were screened for the presence of clinical renal disease during the course of hospital stay. The presence of hematuria, proteinuria, edema, elevated serum creatinine and abnormal urine sediments were taken as evidence of clinical renal disease. The patients with VL and clinical renal disease were subjected to detailed physical examination and following laboratory tests were carried in all such cases; urinalysis for cells, casts and crystals, 24 hours urinary excretion of protein, serum creatinine, blood urea, serum protein and albumin, serum electrolyte, serum calcium, phosphorous, alkaline phosphatase, total and
