Abstract Background: Commercial intact parathyroid hormone (I-PTH) assays detect molecular form(s) of human PTH, non-(1-84) PTH, different from the 84-amino acid native molecule. These molecular form(s) accumulate in hemodialyzed patients. We investigated the importance of non-(1-84) PTH in the interpretation of the increased I-PTH in progressive renal failure. Methods: Five groups were studied: 26 healthy individuals, 12 hemodialyzed patients, and 31 patients with progressive renal failure subdivided according to their glomerular filtration rate (GFR) into 11 with a GFR between 60 and 100 mL · min−1 · 1.73 m−2, 12 with a GFR between 30 and 60 mL · min−1 · 1.73 m−2, and 8 with a GFR between 5 and 30 mL · min−1 · 1.73 m−2. We evaluated indicators of calcium and phosphorus metabolism and creatinine clearance (CrCl) in the progressive renal failure groups, and the HPLC profile of I-PTH and C-terminal PTH in all groups. Results: Only patients with a GFR <30 mL · min−1 · 1.73 m−2 and hemodialyzed patients had decreased Ca2+ and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and increased phosphate. In patients with progressive renal failure, I-PTH was related to Ca2+ (r = −0.66; P <0.0001), CrCl (r = −0.61; P <0.001), 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (r = −0.40; P <0.05), and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (r = −0.49; P <0.01) by simple linear regression. The importance of non-(1-84) PTH in the composition of I-PTH increased with each GFR decrease, being 21% in healthy individuals, 32% in progressive renal failure patients with a GFR <30 mL · min−1 · 1.73 m−2, and 50% in hemodialyzed patients, with PTH(1-84) making up the difference. Conclusions: As I-PTH increases progressively with GFR decrease, part of the increase is associated with the accumulation of non-(1-84) PTH, particularly when the GFR is <30 mL · min−1 · 1.73 m−2. Concentrations of I-PTH 1.6-fold higher than in healthy individuals are necessary in hemodialyzed patients to achieve PTH(1-84) concentrations similar to those in the absence of renal failure.

AbstractGlomerular filtration rate (GFR) is difficult to measure, and estimating formulas are notorious for lacking precision. This study aims to assess if the inclusion of additional biomarkers improves the performance of eGFR formulas. A hundred and sixteen children with renal diseases were enrolled. Data for age, weight, height, inulin clearance (iGFR), serum creatinine, cystatin C, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), parathyroid hormone (PTH), albumin, and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were collected. These variables were added to the revised and combined (serum creatinine and cystatin C) Schwartz formulas, and the quadratic and combined quadratic formulas. We calculated the adjusted r-square (r2) in relation to iGFR and tested the improvement in variance explained by means of the likelihood ratio test. The combined Schwartz and the combined quadratic formulas yielded best results with an r2 of 0.676 and 0.730, respectively. The addition of BNP and PTH to the combined Schwartz and quadratic formulas improved the variance slightly. NGAL and albumin failed to improve the prediction of GFR further. These study results also confirm that the addition of cystatin C improves the performance of estimating GFR formulas, in particular the Schwartz formula.Conclusion: The addition of serum NGAL, BNP, PTH, and albumin to the combined Schwartz and quadratic formulas for estimating GFR did not improve GFR prediction in our population. What is Known:• Estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) formulas include serum creatinine and/or cystatin C but lack precision when compared to measured GFR.• The serum concentrations of some biological parameters such as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), parathyroid hormone (PTH), albumin, and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) vary with the level of renal function. What is New:• The addition of BNP and PTH to the combined quadratic formula improved its performance only slightly. NGAL and albumin failed to improve the prediction of GFR further.

1. The influence of dietary sodium intake on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR/nephron) and potassium and phosphate excretion was examined at three stages of progressive chronic renal failure produced in rats by sequential partial nephrectomies. 2. The adaptive increased sodium excretion per nephron in the control group receiving a constant sodium intake did not occur in the experimental group that had a gradual reduction of dietary sodium in direct proportion to the fall in GFR. 3. Despite the difference in sodium excretion, the increase in GFR/nephron, the daily variation in the amount of potassium and phosphate excreted, the increase in potassium and phosphate excretion per unit nephron, and the plasma potassium and phosphate concentrations were the same in the two groups. 4. The concept of ‘autonomous adaptation’ in chronic renal failure is presented.

ACUTE RENAL FAILURE is an uncommon emergency which faces pediatricians. It is usually easy to recognize. The management in the early phase is critical to the survival potential of the patient. The purpose of this review is to cite the causes, characteristics, and principally the management of acute renal failure. Renal failure is defined as a state in which there is not sufficient kidney function to prevent the development of severe uremia or to maintain plasma electrolyte values in a range compatible with ordinary activities. Clinically the condition is associated with mental confusion, stupor, and frequently convulsions. Persistent hiccoughs, irregular respirations, and muscle cramps also may occur. Usually though not always, there is obvious oliguria. Since urine flow is ordinarily but 0.2-2,0% of glomerular filtration rate, and since glomerular filtration rate reduction to 5-10% may be associated with uremia, it is possible to have renal failure without oliguria. It is also possible to have physiological oliguria (< 300 ml per square meter) in response to rigid water restriction that is not related to renal failure. Hence, the term must be defined in terms of its effect on plasma composition rather than in terms of urine flow. The presence of certain clinical conditions known to result in acute renal failure should alert the physician. These include: nephrotoxie agents; hemoglobinuria or myoglobinuria; shock with anoxic damage; acute, diffuse renal disease; acute dehydration in patients with chronic advanced renal disease; and acute obstructive uropathy. Nephrotoxic agents, hemoglobinuria, and shock all result in acute tubular necrosis, and recovery depends upon the capacity of the nephron to regenerate on an intact basement membrane.

Chronic kidney disease defined by an estimated glomerular filtration rate of less than 60 mL/min or the presence of albuminuria is present in about 10% of the European populations. The risk increases with age, arterial hypertension, and diabetes. Both aspects—reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate, and albuminuria—are major factors associated with the progression of renal failure, cardiovascular events, and all-cause mortality. Patients on dialysis have a 10- to 20-fold increase in the cardiovascular event rate. Furthermore, heart failure and sudden cardiac death are associated with the severity of renal failure.

The effects of respiratory acidosis on renal inorganic phosphate (Pi) handling are controversial. Clearance experiments, therefore, were performed in fasted, chronically parathyroidectomized (PTX), dietary Pi-deprived rats. The objectives were twofold: to study the effects of compensated and uncompensated hypercapnia per se on renal Pi excretion and to examine the interaction between acute hypercapnia, dietary Pi, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) on the renal handling of Pi. Acute hypercapnia increased the plasma Pi (delta 2.82 +/- 0.65 mg/dl, P less than 0.05) without altering the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The FEPi increased (delta 7.26 +/- 0.48%, P less than 0.001) but the TRPi/GFR also increased. PTH (3 U X kg-1 X h-1) superimposed on hypercapnia resulted in a plasma Pi comparable to hypercapnia alone. The FEPi (7.56 +/- 0.78 vs. 24.43 +/- 2.20%; P less than 0.001) was higher and the TRPi/GFR (117 +/- 4 vs. 80 +/- 2 micrograms/min, P less than 0.01) lower, in the former group. PTH infusion during normocapnia resulted in a lower FEPi (0.20 +/- 0.10 vs. 24.43 +/- 2.20%, P less than 0.001) and a higher TRPi/GFR (106 +/- 2 vs. 80 +/- 2 micrograms/min, P less than 0.01) compared with PTH infusion during hypercapnia. Urinary adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) excretion was similar between the groups. During hypercapnia, when the extracellular acidemia was neutralized, the phosphaturic action of PTH persisted. These studies offer direct evidence that in chronically PTX, dietary Pi-deprived rats, the phosphaturic action of PTH is restored by hypercapnia per se. This effect appears to be independent of extracellular acidemia, changes in the plasma Pi and calcium, urinary pH and Na and cAMP excretion.

Acute renal failure (also referred to as acute kidney injury) refers to a rapid decrease in renal function; it is reflected by an increase in blood urea and creatinine and is often associated with oliguria (a urine volume of less than 400 ml/24 hours). It usually develops over days to weeks. Acute kidney injury has been variously classified, but the current classifications are based on the glomerular filtration rate (or creatinine), looking at changes from baseline, and the presence of oliguria or anuria. The potential etiologies of acute kidney injury are usually considered anatomically under the headings prerenal, renal (intrinsic), and postrenal. This chapter looks at the etiology, symptoms, clinical features, demographics, complications, diagnosis, and treatment of acute kidney injury.
