Abstract

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is associated with renal and cardiovascular disease in diabetes. Unfortunately, early RAAS blockade in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) does not prevent the development of complications. We sought to examine the role of hyperfiltration and RAAS activation across a wide range of T1DM duration to better understand renal hemodynamic status in patients with T1DM. Post hoc analysis of blood samples. 148 Canadian patients with T1DM: 28 adolescents (aged 16.2±2.0 years), 54 young adults (25.4±5.6 years), and 66 older adults (65.7±7.5 years) studied in a clinical investigation unit. Angiotensin II infusion (1ng/kg/min; a measure of RAAS activation) during a euglycemic clamp. Glomerular filtration rate measured using inulin clearance, effective renal plasma flow measured using para-aminohippurate, afferent (RA) and efferent (RE) arteriolar resistances, and glomerular hydrostatic pressure estimated using the Gomez equations. In a stepwise fashion, glomerular filtration rate, effective renal plasma flow, and glomerular hydrostatic pressure were higher, while renal vascular resistance and RA were lower in adolescents versus young adults versus older adults. RE was similar in adol...Continue Reading
