Urinary L-lactate excretion is increased in renal Fanconi syndrome.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Measurement of l-lactate in body fluids is an established clinical tool to identify disorders of cellular respiration. However, there is very little known about the clinical value of urinary lactate measurements. We investigated urinary lactate excretion in children with renal Fanconi syndrome. METHODS Freshly voided urine samples were obtained from children with Fanconi syndrome and controls both with and without renal disease. Urine lactate was estimated by conversion to pyruvate in the presence of lactate dehydrogenase and NAD. The NADH produced was measured photometrically. Urine lactate was factored for urine creatinine. RESULTS Children with Fanconi syndrome had a significantly higher urine lactate/creatinine ratio [mean: 84 x 10(-2) mmol/mmol; 95% confidence interval (CI): 40.8-127.1 x 10(-2) mmol/mmol] than healthy controls (mean: 1.3 x 10(-2) mmol/mmol; CI: 1.1-1.5 x 10(-2) mmol/ mmol) and those with a variety of renal diseases (mean: 3.1 x 10(-2) mmol/mmol; CI: 1.8-4.5 x 10(-2) mmol/mmol). CONCLUSIONS Urinary lactate is increased in Fanconi syndrome. The increase is likely to be due to reduced lactate co-transport in the proximal tubule. Urinary lactate/creatinine has clinical utility as a sensitive test of disordered proximal renal tubular function.

In addition to hemorrhagic cystitis, Fanconi Syndrome is a serious clinical side effect during ifosfamide (IFO) therapy. Fanconi syndrome is a generalized dysfunction of the proximal tubule which is characterized by excessive urinary excretion of glucose, phosphate, bicarbonate, amino acids and other solutes excreted by this segment of the nephron including L-carnitine. Carnitine is essential c...

1. Tamm-Horsfall (T-H) glycoprotein has been measured by a specific radioimmunoassay method in the urine of patients with chronic renal failure, cadmium nephropathy and Lignac-Fanconi syndrome, and in renal and bladder calculi. 2. Total T-H glycoprotein excretion/24 h was markedly reduced in patients with chronic renal failure compared with normals. A highly significant correlation was observed...
متن کاملAdult Fanconi syndrome progressing to multiple myeloma.
A case of adult Fanconi syndrome is described in which there was urinary excretion of kappa light chains. After 13 years the patient developed overt myeloma. She also developed an adenocarcinoma of the colon and an adenocarcinoma of the parathyroid gland. These findings are discussed in relation to the known association between adult Fanconi syndrome, renal damage, and myeloma.
متن کاملPyruvate and Lactate Excretion in Diabetes
Anderson and Marks (1962) showed that the reabsorption of pyruvate in the kidney tubules of normal subjects is nearly complete. In diabetics, while the plasma concentration of pyruvate may be twice that of normal subjects, the urinary excretion of pyruvate is usually three or four times greater (Takanami et al., 1960 ; Anderson and Mazza, 1963 ; Anderson et al., 1964). Thus the reabsorptive cap...
متن کاملDisturbances of cystine metabolism in liver disease.
The urinary excretion of cystine, as determined on the polarograph, varies, in normal adults, between 40 and 80 mg. daily (1). It may be increased either as a result of a low renal threshold for cystine or a raised plasma cystine concentration. Cystinuria due to a low renal threshold occurs in 'classical cystinuria,' the Fanconi syndrome and hepatolenticular degeneration (2). In such conditions...
