Cerebral circulation and metabolism in uremia.
Data on 16 patients with uremia are presented. The cerebral blood flow was moderately decreased in patients with generalized vascular disease, but was normal in patients with minimal vascular involvement. In both groups the cerebral oxygen consumption (cerebral metabolic rate in terms of oxygen consumption, CAIRO,) was reduced significantly and to the same degree. In contrast, total body metabo...
متن کاملNewer aspects of carnitine metabolism in uremia.
New knowledge on the physiologic role of L-carnitine and on the rationale of its use in patients on maintenance hemodialysis is provided. In particular, carnitine normalizes plasma and muscle carnitine levels and modifies both enzymatic pattern of muscle and morphology of single fibers, improving exercise tolerance. In addition, carnitine reduces erythropoietin requirements, the number of hypot...
متن کاملAbnormal red cell metabolism in patients with chronic uremia: Nature of the defect and its persistence despite adequate hemodialysis.
A red cell metabolic abnormality, which diminishes the maximum activity of the pentose phosphate shunt, occurs in some uremic patients, even those adequately dialyzed with fluids prepared from distilled or charcoal-filtered water. Within individual patients the severity of this abnormality does not change even after 9 mo of consecutive hemodialyses. However, between patients it does correlate i...
متن کاملThe Rôle of Renal Metabolism in Hypertension and Uremia
1. The chemical mediator of renal hypertension is rapidly destroyed by the metabolic activity of the normal kidney. The excretory function of the kidney plays little, if any, rôle in eliminating the mediator of hypertension. 2. If specific substances are responsible for the uremic syndrome, they are neither produced nor eliminated to any significant extent by the metabolic activity of the kidne...
متن کاملNitrogen metabolism in sheep.
I. 15NH4C1 was continuously infused for periods of 120-216 h into the rumens of sheep which were allowed to feed 2 out of every 10 min. These treatments achieved steady metabolic states and allowed the assessment of nitrogen conversions by means of tracer methodology. The sheep were given either a barley diet or one of three hay diets. In two trials, the flow of abomasal material was determined...
