In uremic type 1 diabetic patients, kidney and pancreas transplantation (KP) and kidney-alone transplantation (KD) provide full restoration of normal renal function; however, only KP, i.e., curing diabetes, is expected to prevent endothelial damages. Our aim was to study L-arginine-induced vasodilation of the renal vasculature in uremic type 1 diabetic patients after KP or KD using magnetic resonance (MR).
MR quantitative flow measurements were performed in 15 KP patients (mean age 39.0 +/- 1.7 years, 10 men and 5 women), in 11 KD patients (mean age 47.3 +/- 1.9 years, 7 men and 4 women), and in 8 nondiabetic kidney transplant patients (mean age 44.0 +/- 4.8 years, 7 men and 1 woman), who were used as control subjects, to measure renal blood flow and velocity and renal vascular resistance before and immediately after infusion of L-arginine.
Renal blood flow and velocity were not different at baseline in KP, KD, and control subjects. In contrast, during L-arginine administration renal blood flow increased significantly in KP subjects (basal 8.4 +/- 0.6 vs. post 9.6 +/- 0.8 ml/s, Delta 14.3 +/- 4.4%, P < 0.05) and in control subjects (basal 9.3 +/- 0.8 vs. post 9.1 +/- 0.8 ml/s, Delta 17.3 +/- 6.2%, P < 0.01), while it remained unchanged in KD subjects (basal 10.0 +/- 0.8 vs. post 11.6 +/- 0.9 ml/s, Delta -1.36 +/- 6.9%, NS). Parallel results have been achieved for renal blood velocity (KP subjects: 20.1 +/- 4.9%, P < 0.01; control subjects: 23.0 +/- 7.99%, P < 0.01; and KD subjects: -0.3 +/- 6.5%; NS). A reduction in renal vascular resistance in response to L-arginine was evident in KP and control subjects but not in KD patients.
L-Arginine vasodilatory response was successfully assessed with MR quantitative flow measurements. KP patients and control subjects, but not those with KD, showed a preserved L-arginine-induced vasodilation of the renal vasculature.
在尿毒症1型糖尿病患者中,肾胰联合移植(KP)和单纯肾移植(KD)均可使肾功能完全恢复正常;然而,只有KP(即治愈糖尿病)有望预防内皮损伤。我们的目的是使用磁共振(MR)研究尿毒症1型糖尿病患者在接受KP或KD后L-精氨酸诱导的肾血管舒张情况。
对15例KP患者(平均年龄39.0±1.7岁,10例男性和5例女性)、11例KD患者(平均年龄47.3±1.9岁,7例男性和4例女性)以及8例非糖尿病肾移植患者(平均年龄44.0±4.8岁,7例男性和1例女性,作为对照)进行MR定量血流测量,以测量输注L-精氨酸之前及之后即刻的肾血流量、流速和肾血管阻力。
KP组、KD组和对照组在基线时肾血流量和流速无差异。相比之下,在给予L-精氨酸期间,KP组患者的肾血流量显著增加(基础值8.4±0.6 vs. 给药后9.6±0.8 ml/s,变化量14.3±4.4%,P<0.05),对照组患者也如此(基础值9.3±0.8 vs. 给药后9.1±0.8 ml/s,变化量17.3±6.2%,P<0.01),而KD组患者的肾血流量保持不变(基础值10.0±0.8 vs. 给药后11.6±0.9 ml/s,变化量-1.36±6.9%,无统计学意义)。肾血流速度也得到了类似结果(KP组患者:20.1±4.9%,P<0.01;对照组患者:23.0±7.99%,P<0.01;KD组患者:-0.3±6.5%;无统计学意义)。KP组和对照组患者在给予L-精氨酸后肾血管阻力降低,而KD组患者则未出现这种情况。
通过MR定量血流测量成功评估了L-精氨酸的血管舒张反应。KP组患者和对照组患者,而非KD组患者,显示出L-精氨酸诱导的肾血管舒张功能得以保留。
