Atrial natriuretic peptide increases albuminuria in type I diabetic patients: evidence for blockade of tubular protein reabsorption.
European Journal of Clinical Investigation 1999 Februrary
BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) contributes to the glomerular hyperfiltration of diabetes mellitus. Infusion of ANP increases the urinary excretion of albumin in patients with type I diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Although the increased albuminuria is attributed to a rise in glomerular pressure, alterations in tubular protein handling might be involved.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: We have studied the effects of ANP in nine microalbuminuric IDDM patients. After obtaining baseline parameters, ANP was infused over a 1-h period (bolus 0.05 microgram kg-1, infusion rate 0.01 microgram kg-1 min-1). Renal haemodynamics, sodium and water clearance and tubular protein handling were studied.
RESULTS: The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) increased from 116.4 +/- 8.9 to 128.3 +/- 8.8 mL min-1 1.73 m-2, whereas the effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) decreased from 534.3 +/- 44.3 to 484.9 +/- 33.3 mL min-1 1.73 m-2 (P < 0.05). As a result, the filtration fraction was significantly higher during infusion of ANP. ANP attenuated proximal tubular sodium reabsorption. Urinary albumin excretion rose from 87.57 +/- 21.03 to 291.40 +/- 67.86 micrograms min-1 (P < 0.01). Changes in the urinary excretion of beta 2-microglobulin and free kappa light chains were more marked, the excretion of beta 2-microglobulin increasing from 0.28 +/- 0.21 to 51.87 +/- 10.51 micrograms min-1 (P < 0.01), and of free kappa-light chains from 4.73 +/- 1.74 to 46.14 +/- 6.19 micrograms min-1 (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: The observed rise in albuminuria during infusion of ANP does not simply reflect a change in glomerular pressure, but might at least partly result from an attenuation of tubular protein reabsorption.
