Role of nitric oxide in diabetic nephropathy

Abstract

Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease in the Western hemisphere. Endothelial dysfunction is the central pathophysiologic denominator for all cardiovascular complications of diabetes including nephropathy. Abnormalities of nitric oxide (NO) production modulate renal structure and function in diabetes but, despite the vast literature, major gaps exist in our understanding in this field because the published studies mostly are confusing and contradictory. In this review, we attempt to review the existing literature, discuss the controversies, and reach some general conclusions as to the role of NO production in the diabetic kidney. The complex metabolic milieu in diabetes triggers several pathophysiologic mechanisms that simultaneously stimulate and suppress NO production. The net effect on renal NO production depends on the mechanisms that prevail in a given stage of the disease. Based on the current evidence, it is reasonable to conclude that early nephropathy in diabetes is associated with increased intrarenal NO production mediated primarily by constitutively released NO (endothelial nitric oxide synthase [eNOS] and neuronal nitric oxide synthase [nNOS]). The enhanced NO production may contribute...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
