ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
IgA vasculitis diagnosis relies primarily on clinical features and is confirmed by pathological findings. To date, there is no reliable noninvasive diagnostic biomarker.OBJECTIVE:
We aimed to explore the baseline serum metabolome of adult patients with IgA vasculitis to identify potential diagnostic biomarkers.METHODS:
We performed a study comparing the serum metabolome of patients with IgA vasculitis to that of patients with inflammatory condition, namely spondyloarthritis. Serum analyses were performed by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.RESULTS:
Fifty-five patients with IgA vasculitis and 77 controls with spondyloarthritis (age- and sex-matched) were included in this study. The median age of IgA vasculitis patients was 53 years. Two-thirds of patients were female (n = 32). At the time of vasculitis diagnosis, 100% of patients had skin involvement and 69% presented with glomerulonephritis (n = 38). Joint and digestive involvement were observed in 56% (n = 31) and 42% (n = 23) of patients. Four discriminative metabolites between the two groups were identified 1-methyladenosine, L-glutamic acid, serotonin, and thymidine. The multivariate model built from the serum metabolomes of patients with IgA vasculitis and spondyloarthritis revealed an accuracy > 90%. As this model was significant according to the permutation test (p < 0.01), independent validation showed an excellent predictive value of the test set sensitivity 98%; specificity 98%, positive predictive value 97% and negative predictive value 98%.CONCLUSION:
To our knowledge, this study is the first to use the metabolomic approach for diagnostic purposes in adult IgA vasculitis, highlighting a specific diagnostic metabolome signature.Palabras clave
