Omega-3 polyunsaturated acids therapy is efficient in primary IgA nephropathy. It is unknown whether doses of omega-3 smaller than those given previously are still effective. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of omega-3 therapy on renal vascular function in relation to proteinuria and urinary excretion of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG).
20 IgA patients aged 36.5 +/- 10.77 with creatinine clearance (Cr(cl)) 105.71 +/- 27.3 ml/min and proteinuria 3.31 +/- 2.01 g/24 h were given orally 810 mg EPA and 540 mg DHA daily for 12 months. Before and at the end of the study, 24-hour proteinuria, serum homocysteine, and Cr(cl) were measured. At the same time, renal vascular function was estimated as dopamine-induced glomerular filtration response (DIR). DIR was measured as: two 120-min lasting Cr(cl) (before and during 2 microg/kg b.w./min i.v. dopamine).
The results obtained during follow-up were as follows (baseline vs. after therapy): DIR 14.9 +/- 16.4 vs. 30.3 +/- 14.3% (p < 0.01); urine protein 2.31 +/- 2.01 vs. 1.31 +/- 1.37 g/24 h (p < 0.01); (Cr(cl)) 105.71 +/- 27.3 vs. 103.9 +/- 20.9 ml/min (n.s.); NAG 8.3 +/- 1.8 vs. 6.0 +/- 1.2 U/g(creat) (p < 0.01), and homocysteine 16.2 +/- 3.15 vs. 13.8 +/- 2.6 micromol/l (p < 0.05). The only correlation found was linear correlation between basal DIR and DIR change (r = -0.570; p < 0.010) and basal NAG (r = -0.460; p < 0.50).
Omega-3 supplementation is associated with the improvement of both renal vascular function and tubule function.
ω-3多不饱和脂肪酸疗法对原发性IgA肾病有效。目前尚不清楚低于先前使用剂量的ω-3是否仍然有效。本研究的目的是探讨ω-3疗法对肾血管功能的影响及其与蛋白尿和N-乙酰-β-D-氨基葡萄糖苷酶(NAG)尿排泄的关系。
20例年龄为36.5±10.77岁的IgA患者,肌酐清除率(Cr(cl))为105.71±27.3 ml/min,蛋白尿为3.31±2.01 g/24 h,每天口服810 mg二十碳五烯酸(EPA)和540 mg二十二碳六烯酸(DHA),持续12个月。在研究开始前及结束时,测量24小时蛋白尿、血清同型半胱氨酸和Cr(cl)。同时,通过多巴胺诱导的肾小球滤过反应(DIR)评估肾血管功能。DIR的测量方法为:两次持续120分钟的Cr(cl)测量(静脉注射多巴胺,剂量为2μg/kg体重/分钟,分别在注射前及注射期间测量)。
随访期间获得的结果如下(基线值与治疗后值):DIR为14.9±16.4 vs. 30.3±14.3%(p<0.01);尿蛋白为2.31±2.01 vs. 1.31±1.37 g/24 h(p<0.01);(Cr(cl))为105.71±27.3 vs. 103.9±20.9 ml/min(无显著差异);NAG为8.3±1.8 vs. 6.0±1.2 U/g(肌酐)(p<0.01),同型半胱氨酸为16.2±3.15 vs. 13.8±2.6 μmol/l(p<0.05)。唯一发现的相关性是基础DIR与DIR变化之间的线性相关性(r=-0.570;p<0.010)以及基础NAG与DIR变化之间的线性相关性(r=-0.460;p<0.50)。
补充ω-3与肾血管功能和肾小管功能的改善相关。
