가와사끼병에서 저나트륨혈증의 관련인자에 대한 임상적 고찰 = Clinical factors causing hyponatremia in patients with mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose : Clinical and laboratory findings predict a severe outcome for mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome. This study aimed to define the clinical characteristics of Kawasaki disease (KD) patients with hyponatremia and to determine the factors associated with its development.
Methods : Retrospective studies were performed on 114 KD patients who received an initial high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG, single 2 g/kg/dose) within 10 days of fever onset from January 2006 to February 2008. These patients were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 consisted of 30 (26.3%) patients with hyponatremia, and group 2 consisted of 84 (73.6%) patients without hyponatremia. Clinical manifestations, laboratory results, and echocardiographic findings were compared between the groups.
Results : Group 1 patients were more likely to have a coronary artery lesion (53.3% versus 20.2%, P=0.005) and suffered from diarrhea (41.3% versus 14.1%, P=0.007). There was a higher incidence of cardiovascular involvement in group 1 patients, including coronary dilatation (46.6%), valvular regurgitation (13.3%), pericardial effusion (6.7%) and medium-sized aneurysm (6.7%). There were no coronary aneurysms in group 2 patients. Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) was significantly higher in patients with hyponatremia (12.2±7.79 mg/dL versus 7.3±4.7 mg/dL, P=0.003) and IVIG-resistant patients were more common in group 1 (13.3% versus 3.6%).
Conclusion : These results indicate that hyponatremia in KD occurs in patients exhibiting severe inflammation and was significantly associated with the development of coronary disease. Further studies will be necessary to confirm the pathogenic mechanisms of hyponatremia in KD patients.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

목 적 : 가와사끼병의 급성기에 심장 합병증을 미리 예측하고자 하는 연구가 꾸준히 계속되고 있으나 아직까지 확실하게 인정되고 있는 지표는 없는 실정이다. 이에 저자들은 저나트륨혈증이 가와사끼병 급성기에 나타나는 빈도와 다른 임상적 요인 및 관상동맥 합병증과의 연관성을 알아보고자 하였다.
방 법 : 2006년 1월부터 2008년 2월까지 만 2년간 을지대학병원 소아과에 입원하여 가와사끼병으로 치료받았던 114명의 환자를 대상으로 후향적으로 조사하였다. 나이와 성별, 발열부터 면역글로불린 투여시까지의 기간, 치료부터 해열까지의 기간, 입원 당시의 백혈구수, 혈소판수,알부민, ESR, CRP, AST, ALT치와 무균성 농뇨 및 심초음파 결과 등을 저나트륨혈증군(1군) (n=30)과 정상 나트륨군(2군) (n=84)으로 나누어 비교 분석하였다. 통계 처리는 t-test와 교차분석, logistic 회귀 분석을 사용하였다.
결 과 : 1) 1군의 환자들에게서 설사 증상이 나타났던 경우가 40%로 2군의 환자들보다 유의하게 많았으며 농뇨나 혈뇨의 빈도는 두 군간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 2) 1군 환아들에서의 CRP 수치가 평균 12.2 mg/dL로 2군 환아들에서의 7.3 mg/dL에 비하여 유의하게 높았다. 3) 1군에서 13.3%의 환아에서 1회의 IVIG 치료 후에도 발열이 지속되어 IVIG의 재투여가 필요하였으며 2군의 환아들에 비해 3배 가량 많았다. 4) 1군 중 53.3%에서 관상 동맥의 병변이 있었으며 2군의 20.2%에 비해 유의하게 많았으며 1군 중 2명(6.7%)에서 중등도 크기의 관상동맥류가 있었다.
결 론 : 가와사끼병에서 입원 당시에 저나트륨혈증이 있거나 면역글로불린 투여 이후에도 저나트륨혈증이 지속될 때 관상 동맥의 합병증이 더 많이 발생할 가능성을 염두에 두고 치료에 임하는 것이 좋을 것으로 사료되는 바이다.
