위축성 신반흔의 위험인자 = Risk Factors for Atrophic Renal Scar

국문 초록 (Abstract)

목 적 : 위축성 신반흔은 소아기 고혈압과 만성 신부전의 중요한 원인이다. 위축성 신반흔의 위험요인을 평가하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 1995년에서 2003년까지 이화의대 목동병원에 첫 발열성 요로감염으로 입원하여 시행한 $^{99m}Tc-DMSA$ 신스캔에서 신장의 크기가 전반적으로 작아진 위축성 신반흔을 보인 41명을 대상으로 하였다. 위축성 신반흔은 $^{99m}Tc-DMSA$ 신스캔에서 상대적 신섭취가 10$\%$ 미만인 중증 위축성 신반흔(n=14)과 10-35$\%$인 경증 위축성 신반흔(n=27)으로 구분하였다. 신반흔은 첫 번째 신스캔에서 확인된 경우는 선천성으로, 급성 신우신염 후 추적 신스캔에서 신반흔으로 진행된 경우는 후천성으로 정의하였다. 대조군은 분절성 신반흔으로 진단된 소아 중 무작위로 선택된 41명이었다. 위축성 신반흔의 발생시기, 성별에 따른 차이와 방광요관역류의 정도 및 ACE 유전자 다형성 등의 위험요인을 조사하였다. 결 과 : 위축성 신반흔군의 연령별 분포는 분절성 신반흔군과 유의한 차이가 없었다. 선천성 신반흔은 위축성 신반흔군에서 61.0$\%$(25/41)로 분절성 신반흔군의 9.8$\%$(4/41)에 비하여 유의하게 많았다(P<0.01). 성볕분포는 위축성 신반흔군에서 남아 58.3$\%$(28/41), 여아 ,31.7$\%$(13/41)이였으며 이는 분절성 신반흔군의 남아 41.4$\%$(17/41), 여아 58.6$\%$(24/41)에 비하여 유의하게 남아의 비율이 높았다(P<0.05). 방광요관역류의 동반률은 위축성 신반흔군에서 92.7$\%$(38/41)로 분절성 신반흔군의 53.7$\%$(22/41)에 비하여 유의하게 높았다(P<0.05). 방광요관역류가 동반되지 않은 경우는 위축성 신반흔과 분절성 신반흔간에 남녀비의 유의한 차이가 없었으나 방광요관역류가 동반된 경우에는 남아의 비율이 중증 위축성 신반흔군에서 85.7$\%$(12/14)로 분절성 신반흔군의 45.5$\%$(10/22)에 비하여 유의하게 높았다(P<0.05). ACE 유전자 다형성은 위축성 신반흔과 분절성 신반흔군 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었다(P>0.05). 결 론 : 위축성 신반흔은 생후 예방이 불가능한 선천성이 많았고 위험요인에는 남아와 방광요관역류가 중요하였다. ACE 유전자 다형성은 위축성 신반흔의 위험 요인으로 작용하지 않았다.

Purpose : An atrophic renal scar(RS) is one of the underlying causes for childhood hyper tension and chronic renal failure. The risk factors for atrophic renal scar were evaluated. Methods : 41 children, who presented with first febrile urinary tract Infection at the Ewha Womans University Hospital between 1995 and 2003 and had generalized atrophic RS on $^{99m}Tc-DMSA$ renal scan, were retrospectively studied. Atrophic RS was divided into severe atrophic RS(n=14) if relative uptake on renal scan was below 10$\%$, or mild atrophic RS(n=27) if relative uptake on renal scan was between 10-35$\%$. RS was defined as congenital if the scar was detected on the first renal scan, and as acquired if the scar developed on the follow-up renal scan from acute pyelonephritis of the first renal scan. The control group was consisted of randomly selected 41 children with segmental RS. The risk factors for atrophic RS such as the generation time, VUR, gender and ACE gene polymorphism were evaluated. Results : The age distribution of atrophic RS and segmental RS did not differ significantly (P>0.05). The rate of congenital RS in atrophic RS was 61.0$\%$(25/41), which was significantly higher than 9.8$\%$(4/41) of segmental RS(P<0.01). Atrophic RS developed mote frequently in male children(M:F 68.3$\%$ 31.7$\%$) than segmental RS(M:F 41.4$\%$ .58.5$\%$)(P<0.05). Vesicoureteral reflux(VUR) was found in 92.7$\%$(38/41) of 4he atrophic RS, which was significantly higher than 53.7$\%$(22/41) of segmental RS(P<0.05). In children without VUR, the male to female ratio did not differ between atrophic RS and segmental RS(P>0.05) But in children with VUR, there was a higher proportion of males with severe atrophic RS than segmental RS($85.7\%:45.5\%$) ACE gene polymorphism did not differ between the atrophic and segmental RS groups, irrespective of the presence of VUR(P>0.05). Conclusion : Most atrophic RSs were congenital which could not be preventable postnatally and the major risk factors were VUR and the male gender. ACE gene polymorphism was not the significant risk factor for an atrophic RS. (J Korean Soc Pedialr Nephrol 2005;9:193-200)
