Drug-Induced Glomerular Disease

Abstract: Drug-induced autoimmune disease was initially described decades ago, with reports of vasculitis and a lupus-like syndrome in patients taking hydralazine, procainamide, and sulfadiazine. Over the years, multiple other agents have been linked to immune-mediated glomerular disease, often with associated autoantibody formation. Certain clinical and laboratory features may distinguish these entities from their idiopathic counterparts, and making this distinction is important in the diagnosis and management of these… Show more

“…The MPO ANCA in patients with hydralazine-induced vasculitis is often in high titer (12), and patients often have antibodies directed to other antigens for perinuclear, elastase, and lactoferrin (8,13). The mechanism by which hydralazine induces MPO antibodies and vasculitis is not clear.…”

“…Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are associated with cases of small vessel vasculitis in granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener’s), microscopic polyangiitis, Churg-Strauss syndrome, “renal-limited” rapidly progressive glomerular nephritis (RPGN), and certain drug-induced vasculitis syndromes[2]. In these conditions, ANCA consistently have specificities for either PR3 or MPO, but almost never for both.…”

“…Production of autoantibodies is common during hydralazine treatment and patients may develop either a lupus-like or an AAV-like condition. Patients with hydralzine-induced vasculitis typically have very high levels of MPO-ANCA along with ANCA of different specificities such as elastase-ANCA and lactoferrin-ANCA [45]. In mild cases it is sufficient to stop the drug treatment, but in severe cases immunosuppressuion is needed.…”
