Leucocyte ATP and renal failure.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. We have measured adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) levels in isolated leucocyte suspensions from patients with renal failure. 2. Leucocyte ATP is reduced in these patients, unlike erythrocyte ATP which is known to be elevated in uraemia. 3. The relevance of reduced leucocyte ATP to the abnormalities of cation transport and cell function which occur in uraemia is discussed.

A study in vitro of the sodium pump in fulminant hepatic failure.
1. The mechanism underlying the raised leucocyte sodium content in fulminant hepatic failure was studied by measurement of sodium fluxes, (Na+ + K+)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase activity, and leucocyte ATP content. 2. The rate constant for sodium efflux in the leucocytes was significantly reduced, and attributable to reduced activity of the enzyme (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. Leucocyte ATP content ...
متن کاملLeucocyte sodium transport in uraemia.
1. In sixteen patients with severe chronic renal failure the rate constant for total sodium efflux from leucocytes was significantly reduced compared with that in thirty control subjects. This difference lay chiefly in the glycoside-sensitive ('active') moiety of sodium efflux. 2. In sixteen patients receiving regular haemodialysis, the rate constant for total sodium efflux from the leucocyte w...

متن کاملThe Mechanism of Preventive Effect of Captopril on Renal Ischemia Reperfusion Injury is Independent of ATP Dependent Potassium Channels
Background: Renal ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury has been a major source of concern during the past decades and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have been successfully used to prevent this injury. There have been some controversial reports about the involvement of KATP channels in the mechanism of action of ACE inhibitors. In this study, we examined the effect of KATP channel bl...

and Fabry's diseases, as well as metachromatic leucodystrophy). Leucocyte studies of families have done much to increase our knowledge of the genetics of the inherited metabolic disorders and in many cases the heterozygous state can be clearly delineated using these readily available cells. Direct enzyme assay on the isolated cells is usually satisfactory, although in some cases the white cell ...
