Proteinuria is associated with persistence of antibody to streptococcal M protein in Aboriginal Australians

Aboriginal communities in Northern Australia with high rates of group A streptococcal (GAS) skin infection in childhood also have high rates of renal failure in adult life. In a cross-sectional study of one such high risk community, albuminuria was used as a marker of renal disease. The prevalence o...

In a cross-sectional study of one such high risk community, albuminuria was used as a marker of renal disease. The prevalence of albuminuria increased from 0/52 in subjects aged 10–19 years to 10/29 (32·9%) in those aged 50 or more (P&lt;0·001). Antibodies to streptococcal M protein, markers of past GAS infection, were present in 48/52 (92%) at ages 10–19 years, 16/32 (50%) at ages 30–39, and 20/29 (69%) in those aged 50 or more. After allowing for the age-dependencies of albuminuria and of M protein antibodies (P&lt;0·001) albuminuria was significantly associated with M protein antibodies (P&lt;0·01). Thus, 72% of adults aged 30 or more with M protein antibodies also had albuminuria, compared with only 21% of those who were seronegative. More detailed modelling suggested that although most Aboriginal people in this community developed M protein antibodies following GAS infection in childhood, the development of proteinuria was associated with the persistence of such seropositivity into adult life. The models predicted that proteinuria developed at a mean age of 30 years in seropositive persons, at 45 years in seronegative persons who were overweight, and at 62 years in seronegative persons of normal weight. We demonstrated a clear association between evidence of childhood GAS infection and individual risk of proteinuria in adult life. This study provided a strong rationale for prevention of renal disease through the more effective control of GAS skin infections in childhood and through the prevention of obesity in adult life.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0950-2688</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1469-4409</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1017/S0950268898001812</identifier><identifier>PMID: 10098787</identifier><identifier>CODEN: EPINEU</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Cambridge: Cambridge University Press</publisher><subject>Adolescent ; Adult ; Age distribution ; Albuminuria ; Albuminuria - immunology ; Albuminuria - microbiology ; Antibodies ; Antibodies, Bacterial - blood ; Antigens, Bacterial ; Bacterial diseases ; Bacterial Outer Membrane Proteins ; Bacteriology ; Biological and medical sciences ; Carrier Proteins ; Child ; Childhood ; Connectin ; Cross-Sectional Studies ; Diabetic nephropathies ; Endemic Diseases - statistics &amp; numerical data ; Epidemiology ; Fundamental and applied biological sciences.
