Abstract
The pathophysiology of chronic hypotension (CH) in uraemia is not elucidated. The possible role of autonomic nervous system dysfunction and adrenoceptor alterations in the pathophysiology of CH in uraemia was evaluated in this study. Seventeen hypotensive haemodialysis (HD) patients, 17 normotensive HD patients, and 17 control subjects were studied. We evaluated the integrity of the baroreflex arc (Valsalva manoeuvre), the parasympathetic efferent pathway ('deep-breathing test') and the sympathetic efferent pathway ('hand-grip test'). We also evaluated platelet alpha 2-adrenoceptor and lymphocyte beta 2-adrenoceptor densities (radioligand binding assay), and beta 2-adrenoceptor response (intracellular cAMP generation after isoproterenol stimulation in lymphocytes). Responses to the Valsalva manoeuvre and the deep-breathing test were altered in all HD patients (P < 0.05). Valvalva ratio was lower in hypotensive patients than in normotensive patients (P < 0.01), whereas the pressor response to the hand-grip test was reduced only in hypotensive HD patients (P < 0.01). In haemodialysed patients, basal mean blood pressure (MBP) correlated with MBP increases during the hand-grip exercise (r = 0.59, P < 0.01). Plasma catecholamine lev...Continue Reading
