Zusammenfassung: | Objectives.
Evaluation of the relationship of clinical, laboratory and morphological factors with remodeling of small-diameter renal arteries in patients with glomerulonephritis (GN) and arterial hypertension (AH).
Materials and methods.
The study included 105 patients (average age 37.1±1.2 years) with primary GN and hypertension who had indications for morphological investigation of kidney tissue. All patients underwent a standard examination for kidney disease, a morphological study of kidney tissue with a description of the changes that occur in the presence of glomerulonephritis, corresponding to the individual severity of the pathological process. The presence of signs of a tubulointerstitial component of damage (or tubulointerstitial component — TIC) in the form of tubulointerstitial infl ammation (TIV), fi brosis (TIF) was assessed. Vasometry of the interlobular artery (IA) was performed. The value of the intima-media complex (IMC) was considered to be a sign of IA remodeling. A sign of MA remodeling was considered to be an intima-media complex (IMC) value of more than 30.43 μm.
Results.
Among clinical and laboratory risk factors, an increase in systolic blood pressure has a statistically signifi cant effect on the likelihood of increasing IMC (χ

-criterion = 5.76, p = 0.016), arterial hypertension stage (χ
2
-criterion = 9.45, p = 0.002), blood urea level (χ
2
-criterion = 8.11, p = 0.004), decrease in glomerular fi ltration rate (χ

-criterion = 5.0, p = 0.025), increase in the stage of chronic kidney disease (χ
2
-criterion = 10.32, p = 0.001). The presence of signs of GN progression, such as an increase in erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) or proteinuria, did not have a statistically significant effect on the risk of IA remodeling (p>0.05). The increase in IA IMC is affected by the presence of hyalinosis of glomerular capillary loops (χ
2
-criterion = 7.56, p = 0.006), periglomerular hyalinosis (χ
2
-criterion = 6.96, p = 0.008), sclerosis of the glomerulus (χ
2
-criterion = 3.9, p = 0.048), increased fibrosis of tubulointerstitium (χ
2
-criterion = 12.16, p = 0.0005).
Conclusion.
In GN and AH, remodeling of small-diameter renal vessels occurs due to the influence of AH and its severity, tubulointerstitial changes in the renal tissue. New risk factors for vascular remodeling have been obtained — changes in the glomerulus. At the same time, the inflammatory and autoimmune mechanisms of GN were not associated with changes in the vascular wal |
