The kidney can increase glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in response to a protein load (renal reserve). In a pilot study of healthy young adults we examined renal reserve using changes in serum cystatin C (cysC).
Glomerular filtration rate was obtained using iohexol single slope plasma disappearance. To stimulate GFR, subjects ingested a beefburger containing 60 grams of protein. CysC was measured by immunonephelometry before and 125-141 minutes after protein loading.
All subjects were found to have a normal iohexol plasma disappearance GFR with a mean of 104.6 ± 9.9 mL/min per 1.73 m(2). CysC decreased in each subject after the meat meal. Baseline cysC-based estimated GFR was 98.1 ± 9.1 mL/min per 1.73 m(2) with a mean increase of 12.0 ± 5.2 (p = 0.0003).
Our study showed a consistent decrease in serum cysC and increase in cysC-based estimated GFR following a protein load in young adults. Further studies are needed using renal clearance methods to confirm that cysC accurately determines renal reserve in patients with and without chronic kidney disease.
肾脏可响应蛋白质负荷增加肾小球滤过率(GFR)(肾储备)。在一项针对健康年轻成年人的初步研究中,我们利用血清胱抑素C(cysC)的变化来检测肾储备。
采用碘海醇单斜率血浆清除率测定肾小球滤过率。为刺激GFR,受试者摄入一个含有60克蛋白质的牛肉汉堡。在蛋白质负荷前及负荷后125 - 141分钟通过免疫比浊法测定cysC。
所有受试者碘海醇血浆清除率GFR均正常,平均为每1.73 m² 104.6 ± 9.9 mL/min。进食肉类餐后,每个受试者的cysC均下降。基于基线cysC估算的GFR为每1.73 m² 98.1 ± 9.1 mL/min,平均增加12.0 ± 5.2(p = 0.0003)。
我们的研究表明,年轻成年人在蛋白质负荷后,血清cysC持续下降,基于cysC估算的GFR增加。需要进一步采用肾脏清除方法进行研究,以证实cysC能否准确测定慢性肾脏病患者和非慢性肾脏病患者的肾储备。
