چکیده
Increased tubular creatinine secretion by remnant nephrons—unexplained but informative? Sir, It is well known that declining kidney function is accompanied by an increasing contribution of tubular creatinine secretion to the total creatinine clearance; secretion may account for as much as 50% of creatinine clearance in the later stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The implications of this phenomenon for creatinine-based

Glomerular function and hyperuricaemia in sickle cell disease.
Renal insufficiency is common in adults with homozygous sickle cell disease, and the contribution of glomerular failure to the hyperuricaemia which is often a feature of the disease has therefore been investigated. In a study of 64 patients between the ages of 15 and 66, serum urate concentration was dependent on renal urate clearance and also on creatinine clearance. The relation between serum...
متن کاملGlomerular and tubular adaptive responses to acute nephron loss in the rat. Effect of prostaglandin synthesis inhibition.
These studies, using in vivo micropuncture techniques in the Munich-Wistar rat, document the magnitude of changes in glomerular and tubular function and structure 24 h after approximately 75% nephron loss (Nx) and compared these results with those obtained in sham-operated rats. The contribution of either nephron hypertrophy or renal prostaglandin to these adjustments in nephron function was al...
متن کاملStimulation of tubular secretion of creatinine in health and in conditions associated with reduced nephron mass. Evidence for a tubular functional reserve.
BACKGROUND The increment in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) after a protein load has been taken to reflect the renal reserve capacity; however, this response is preserved in end-stage kidney disease. Tubular secretion of creatinine is increased in relation to the GFR in renal failure, but little is known about the tubular functional response to stimulation despite the fact that tubulointerstit...
متن کاملLocalization and Pyrazinamide Inhibition of Distal Transtubular Movement of Uric Acid-2-c14 with a Modified Stop-flow Technique.
Renal tubular secretion of uric acid has been demonstrated in several mammalian species including the rabbit (1), mongrel and Dalmatian dog (24), and man (7). Although secretion was easily delineated in the Dalmatian coach hound (4-6), special experimental conditions were necessary for its substantiation in other species. Uric acid clearance in excess of simultaneous creatinine clearance, indic...
متن کاملWarfarin-related nephropathy modeled by nephron reduction and excessive anticoagulation.
An acute increase in international normalized ratio (INR) to >3.0 in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) can associate with an unexplained acute increase in serum creatinine and accelerated progression of CKD. A subset of these patients have renal tubular obstruction by casts of red blood cells, presumably the dominant mechanism of the acute kidney injury described as warfarin-related ne...
