چکیده

The intravascular administration of the ionic radiocontrast agent sodium iothalamate (2.9 g of iodine/kg body wt) to rats induced an increase in plasma concentration of immunoreactive endothelin from 21.3 +/- 1.2 to 36 +/- 3 fmol/mL, preceded by a transient rise in the plasma level of atrial natriuretic peptide and associated with a fall in RBF. Equi-iodine amounts of the nonionic agents ioxaglate and iohexol elicited similar or more marked changes in plasma endothelin, but hypertonic solutions of NaCl, mannitol, or glucose did not. Comparable levels of endothelin produced by infusions of endothelin-1 induced a reduction of up to 29% in RBF. Iothalamate and iohexol stimulated endothelin release from cultured bovine endothelial cells, suggesting a direct effect of ionic and nonionic agents on vascular endothelium. The data invite speculation that under some circumstances endothelin release might play a role in the circulatory changes caused by these compounds and in the pathogenesis of radiocontrast nephropathy.

Endothelin in renal disease: role of endothelin antagonists.

In spite of tremendous progress in the understanding of human disease, the search for new mediators continues as numerous conditions remain poorly understood. In particular in many forms of renal disease, effective and cause-orientated forms of therapy are still lacking. The discovery of new pathogenetic mechanisms often leads to the development of new drugs with previously unknown properties w...

Molecular Mechanisms of Renal Cellular Nephrotoxicity due to Radiocontrast Media

Modern iodinated radiocontrast media are all based on the triiodinated benzene ring with various chemical modifications having been made over the last few decades in order to reduce their toxicity. However, CIN remains a problem especially in patients with pre-existing renal failure. In vitro studies have demonstrated that all RCM are cytotoxic. RCM administration in vivo may lead to a decrease...
