For the purpose of studying glomerular injuries induced by antineoplastic drugs, the excretion of glomerular epithelial cells (GEC) was evaluated. In 13 children who received antineoplastic drugs, the excretion of GEC in urine samples was examined with an immunofluorescent study using a monoclonal antibody directed against podocalyxin, which was expressed on glomerular epithelial cells. GEC were detected in 20 of 25 chemotherapy courses. The excretion of GEC persisted until the next chemotherapy course in some cases. After an initiation of chemotherapy an increased urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (more than 2-fold) was found in 6 patients. A significant increase of N-acetylglucosaminidase was observed in 2 patients. Proteinuria and hematuria were not observed in all patients. These results indicate that glomerular injuries are frequently induced by chemotherapy independent of the tubular damage. Repeated glomerular injuries may result in late renal dysfunction. |
