Urinary Sodium Excretion Has Positive Correlation with Activation of Urinary Renin Angiotensin System and Reactive Oxygen Species in Hypertensive Chronic Kidney Disease

چکیده
It is not well described the pathophysiology of renal injuries caused by a high salt intake in humans. The authors analyzed the relationship between the 24-hr urine sodium-to-creatinine ratio (24HUna/cr) and renal injury parameters such as urine angiotensinogen (uAGT/cr), monocyte chemoattractant peptide-1 (uMCP1/cr), and malondialdehyde-to-creatinine ratio (uMDA/cr) by using the data derived from 226 hypertensive chronic kidney disease patients. At baseline, the 24HUna/cr group or levels had a positive correlation with uAGT/cr and uMDA/cr adjusted for related factors (P<0.001 for each analysis). When we estimated uAGT/cr in the 24HUna/cr groups by ANCOVA, the uAGT/cr in patients with ≥200 mEq/g cr was higher than in patients with <100 mEq/g cr (708 [95% CI, 448-967] vs. 334 [95% CI, 184-483] pg/mg cr, P=0.014). Similarly, uMDA/cr was estimated as 0.17 (95% CI, 0.14-0.21) pM/mg cr in patients with <100 mEq/g cr and 0.27 (95% CI, 0.20-0.33) pM/mg cr in patients with ≥200 mEq/g cr (P=0.016). During the 16-week follow-up period, an increase in urinary sodium excretion predicted an increase in urinary angiotensinogen excretion. In conclusion, high salt intake increases renal renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) activation, primarily, and directly or indirectly affects the production of reactive oxygen species through renal RAS activation.

Renin-angiotensin and kallikrein-kinin systems in sodium homeostasis and hypertension in rats.
1. Urinary kallikrein excretion was measured in rats by an enzyme kinetic method employing radioimmunoassay of generated bradykinin. 2. Rats given a sodium load (NaCl solution, 20 g/l, to drink) for 28 days showed acute and prolonged significant falls in urinary kallikrein excretion associated with suppression of plasma renin and angiotensin. 3. Conversely sodium-depleted rats showed increases ...

Testosterone and Blood Pressure: Is the Decreased Sodium Excretion the Missing Link? To the Editor: With great interest I read the article by Davis et al published very recently in Hypertension. The authors gave testosterone treatment for a 10-week period to both obese Zucker rats and lean Zucker rats. In obese Zucker rats, testosterone supplements reduced body weight, plasma insulin, and chole...
متن کاملChanges in urinary potassium excretion in patients with chronic kidney disease
BACKGROUND Hyperkalemia is one of the more serious complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the cause of potassium retention is a reduction in urinary potassium excretion. However, few studies have examined the extent of the decrease of urinary potassium excretion in detail with respect to decreased renal function. METHODS Nine hundred eighty-nine patients with CKD (CKD stages G1 an...
متن کاملUpregulation of cortical COX-2 in salt-sensitive hypertension: role of angiotensin II and reactive oxygen species.
Salt-sensitive (SS) hypertension is a vascular diathesis characterized by reduced cardiovascular and renal nitric oxide bioavailability and local upregulation of ANG II. We have demonstrated that rats infused with ANG II manifest increased cortical cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression and activity via NADPH oxidase-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS). In the present studies we used Dahl salt-sen...

Various models of experimental hypertension and clinical examples of increased renin formation from a stenotic kidney or a juxtaglomerular cell tumor have shown that increased circulating angiotensin II (Ang II) stimulates the intrarenal/intratubular renin-angiotensin system (RAS) that elicits renal vasoconstriction, enhanced tubular sodium reabsorption, and progressive development of hypertens...
