Abstract:
Background: Renal impairments commonly occur as a complication of autoimmune connective tissue diseases (CTDs). Therefore, early nephritis prediction is vital for patient outcomes. Growth Arrest-Specific Protein 6 (GAS6) was found to be upregulated in many types of inflammatory renal disease, including diabetic nephropathy. Aim: To evaluate GAS6 as a predictor of renal impairment in adults with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and children with systemic lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Methods: The study included 60 patients with SSc and 40 children with SLE. The serum level of GAS6 was measured using the ELISA technique. In adults with SSc, total proteins in 24-h urine concentration of >300 mg/24 h indicated renal inflammation, while in children with SLE, nephritis was diagnosed by abnormal renal pathology. Results: In SSc patients, GAS6 significantly increased in patients with proteinuria. GAS6 is an independent predictor of nephritis with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.06 and a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 1.0-1.1. at cutoff 12.2 ng/mL GAS6 predicted proteinuria with sensitivity 86.7% (95% CI: 59.5% to 98.3%), specificity 57.8% (95% CI: 42.1% to 72.3%), positive predictive value 40.6% (95% CI: 31.5% to 50.4%), negative predictive value 92.9% (95% CI: 77.7% to 97.73%), and accuracy 65.0% (95% CI: 51.6% to 76.9%). In SLE patients, Serum GAS6 did not differ significantly between children with and without lupus nephritis. Conclusion: GAS6 is an independent predictor of nephritis in patients with SSc. However, there is no association between GAS6 and nephritis in juvenile patients with SLE.
