Abstract
It has been hypothesized that both the cyclosporine (CsA) treatment and the reduction of renal mass may affect the renal hemodynamic regulation in kidney transplant recipients. To address this question, we evaluated the renal hemodynamic response to hyperaminoacidemia (i.v. mixed amino acid infusion 3.3 mg/kg/minute for 150 minutes) in four study groups: (1) 16 renal transplant recipients (Tx), (2) 6 uninephrectomized (Nx) subjects, (3) 7 subjects treated with CsA for chronic uveitis (CsA), and (4) 9 normal controls (NC). In response to amino acid administration (AA), glomerular filtration rate (GFR) rose significantly in NC subjects (80 +/- 6 vs. 91 +/- 6 ml/minute; P<0.01) and Nx patients (57 +/- 3 vs. 68 +/- 7 ml/minute; P<0.01) and failed to increase in Tx recipients (39 +/- 3 vs. 37 +/- 3 ml/minute) and CsA-treated patients (58 +/- 3 vs. 53 +/- 4 ml/minute). Renal plasma flow (RPF) did not change in Tx recipients (243 +/- 27 vs. 235 +/- 25 ml/minute) but rose significantly in all other groups (257 +/- 17 vs. 344 +/- 33 in NX, 364 +/- 6l vs. 441 +/- 55 in CsA, 412 +/- 49 vs. 472 +/- 72 ml/min in NC subjects; P<0.05 vs. basal). Basal renal vascular resistances were significantly higher in Tx (0.29 +/- 0.04 mmHg/mlxmin; P<0.0...Continue Reading
