THE AIM. To study the renal function of rats in conditions of streptozotocin-induced model of experimental diabetes mellitus. MATERIAL AND METHODS. The study was conducted on 25 male Wistar stock rats (12 individuals – a group of intact rats and 13 individuals – a disease control group). Diabetes mellitus was simulated by intraperitoneal administration of Stretpozotocin at a dose of 65 mg / kg. For a more selective simulation of type II diabetes, rats of the disease control group were injected intraperitoneally with a cytoflavin solution at the rate of 115 mg / kg nicotinamide dosage. In both groups, the daily urine volume was collected every 7 days during the month, in which the concentrations of glucose, protein, and creatinine were determined. Taking into account the daily volume of diuresis, excretion of glucose, protein, and creatinine was calculated. RESULTS. At baseline, all determinable indicators of renal function in rats did not differ between groups. Then, in the disease control group, there was a significant increase in daily diuresis, protein excretion, glucose excretion, and creatinine. As a result, by the end of the experiment, the magnitude of these indicators exceeded the level of intact rats by 2.0; 1.5, 3.2 and 1.9 times, respectively, CONCLUSION. Under conditions of the streptozotocin model of diabetes mellitus, characteristic changes in the renal excretory function are observed: an increase in daily diuresis, an increase in the excretion of glucose, an excretion of protein and creatinine.

The present study was designed to develop the experimental model of diabetes mellitus based on 5-6 month-old Wistar rats weighing 234.00±2.64 g (n=47). Diabetes was induced by a single intraperitoneal administration of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg, "Sigma", USA) in a 0.1 M citrate buffer solution, pH 4.5. The control group was comprised of 43 intact male rats. The animals with experimental diabetes had a reduced number of secretory cell nuclei per unit area of the epithelial sheet of the bronchial tree; the area of epitheliocyte nuclei also decreased.

Annotation. The aim of our study was to explore the pathogenetical aspects of tubulointerstitial syndrome development in alloxan-induced experimental diabetes mellitus. The experiments were carried out on 20 white non-linear mature male rats, 10 with experimental diabetes mellitus (EDМ) induced by intraperitoneal administration of alloxan at a dose of 160 mg/kg of body weight, 10 intact rats served as the control group. 25 days after administration of the diabetogenic substance, the animals were withdrawn from the experiment. The concentration of sodium and potassium ions in urine and blood plasma samples was determined, followed by calculation (considering water-induced 2-hour diuresis and endogenous creatinine clearance) of glomerular filtration rate, electrolyte excretion, their filtration rate, absolute and relative reabsorption, clearance, their proximal and distal renal transport. Removed after decapitation rats’ kidneys were dissected to 3 parts – renal cortex, medulla and papilla, sodium and potassium content was determined in water-extract of the corresponding part of the renal parenchyma, and papillary-cortical, papillary-medullar and medullary-cortical concentration ion gradients were calculated. Significant suppression of papillary-medullar and papillary-cortical concentration sodium gradients, as well as a slight limitation of its medullary-cortical gradient were established. The concentration potassium gradients were significantly reduced. Statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out with the determination of the average value, standard deviations. To assess the probability of the difference between the study groups used non-parametric Mann-Whitney ranking criterion according to the algorithms implemented in the computer program “Statistica for Windows”, “Version 8.0”. There was a decrease of the sodium-potassium ratio in urine, enhanced urinary excretion of potassium and an increase of its content in urine, as well as intensification of absolute transtubular sodium transport due to equivalent augmentation of the filtration charge of this cation, increase of proximal sodium reabsorption and, to a lesser degree, – of distal one. The distal and proximal sodium reabsorption, reduced to a unit of active nephrons, was found to be decreased, and the relative reabsorption of the cation significantly exceeded the control values, contributing to the limitation of natriuresis. The results of the study suggest that in 26-day alloxan-induced experimental diabetes hemodynamic-hyperperfusion overload on the tubular apparatus of the kidney causes the development of relative insufficiency of the proximal and distal tubules, disorders of hormone-dependent reabsorption of cations, limitation of regulatory influence of aldosterone and ADH with further tubulointerstitial disturbances that unable adequate osmotic concentration of urine.

Цель - исследование влияния куркумы длинной и галеги восточной на осмо- и ионорегулирующую функции почек крыс при аллоксан-индуцированном сахарном диабете и острой почечной недостаточности в эксперименте. Методика. Эксперименты выполнены на самцах крыс Wistar (n=70) с моделью сахарного диабета (1-я серия) и острой почечной недостаточности (2-я серия). В обеих сериях животные были поделены на 3 группы: крыс 1-й группы содержали на стандартном корме, крысам остальных групп в корм добавляли куркуму (2-я группа) или галегу (3-я группа) (2% от массы корма). На 7-е сут эксперимента проводили исследование диуретической и ионоуретической функций почек натощак и после 5% водной нагрузки. Концентрацию ионов в моче и плазме определяли методом пламенной фотометрии; осмотическую концентрацию биологических жидкостей - методом криоскопии; биохимические показатели крови - колориметрическим методом. Результаты. У животных с сахарным диабетом фоновый диурез, а также экскреция натрия и калия были статистически значимо выше, чем у контрольных животных. При острой почечной недостаточности наблюдался более низкий уровень диуреза и ионоуреза, особенно после водной нагрузки. Прием куркумы и галеги вызывал улучшение осмо- и ионорегулирующей функции почек у крыс с сахарным диабетом, и практически не влиял на эти функции почек при острой почечной недостаточности. Заключение. При сахарном диабете оба фитопрепарата вызывали понижение концентрации глюкозы, креатинина, мочевины и улучшение ионно-осмотических показателей плазмы крови, при этом эффект куркумы был выражен отчетливее. При острой почечной недостаточности эти фитопрепараты не давали описанного эффекта. Aim. To study effects of the phytomedicines, Curcuma longa and Galega orientalis, on osmosis- and ion-regulating renal functions in rats with experimental diabetes mellitus (DM) and acute renal failure (ARF). Methods. Experiments were performed in two series on Wistar male rats (n=70) with modeled diabetes mellitus (series 1) and acute renal failure (series 2). In each series, the animals were divided into 3 groups, 1) rats of group 1 receiving a standard diet; 2) rats of groups 2 and 3 receiving a standard diet supplemented with turmeric or galega (2% of food weight), respectively. On the 7th day of the experiment, the diuretic and ionuretic renal function was studied in fasting state and after 5% water loading. Concentrations of ions in urine and plasma were determined by flame photometry; osmotic concentrations of biological fluids were measured by cryoscopy; blood biochemical parameters were measured by colorimetry. Results. In diabetic rats, background diuresis and sodium and potassium excretion were significantly higher than in the control animals. In rats with acute renal failure, diuresis and ionuresis were significantly lower, particularly after the water loading. Turmeric and galega supplementation improved the osmotic and ion-regulating renal function in diabetic rats and left practically unchanged these functions in rats with acute renal failure. Conclusion. In rats with diabetes mellitus, both herbal remedies reduced concentrations of glucose, creatinine, and urea and improved ion-osmotic parameters of blood plasma with a more pronounced effect of turmeric. In acute renal failure, these phytomedicines did not produce the described effects.

Currently, diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex global problem, which is increasing every year. So, in 2019, diabetes mellitus was detected in 463 million adults (from 20 to 79 years old) in the world. And the main cause of death in patients with diabetes mellitus is cardiovascular complications. The study was aimed investigate the features of functional and structural changes in the heart in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and nephropathy. A total of 98 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were examined, out of which 78 patients had diabetic nephropathy (DN) of varying severity. The control group consisted of 20 healthy patients. After a clinical examination, depending on the state of renal function, all patients were divided into the following groups: group I — patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without signs of nephropathy (n = 36), group II — patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with normal glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and albuminuria (n = 33), group III — patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with decreased GFR and albuminuria (n = 29). To study changes in hemodynamics and structural parameters of the heart, patients underwent transthoracic echocardiography on an ULTIMA PA ultrasound machine (Radmir, Ukraine) using a sectoral phased transducer with a frequency range of 2–3 MHz according to the standard technique based on the recommendations of the American Echocardiographic Society. To determine indexing indicators, the patients underwent anthropometric measurements. Patients with DN and albuminuria and decreased GFR showed an increase in the linear dimensions of the heart in comparison with controls and patients without signs of nephropathy. With DN, patients have a significant increase in left ventricular mass and a significant increase in the detection rate of left ventricular hypertrophy up to 91.3 % in patients with albuminuria and preserved renal function and up to 100 % with a decrease in GFR.

Background: This study analysed children with end-stage renal disease treated with automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) in our centre to explore the risk factors associated with residual renal function (RRF) loss. Methods: Children treated with APD as the initial renal replacement therapy regimen from January 2008 to December 2016 were included. All the children had a daily urine volume of ≥100 ml/m2 when APD was initiated and a dialysis follow-up time of ≥12 months. A daily urine volume of <100 ml/m2 after 12 months of APD treatment was defined as loss of RRF. Possible risk factors that may be associated with RRF loss were analysed. Results: A total of 66 children were included in the study. After 12 months of APD treatment, the daily urine volume decreased by 377.45 ± 348.80 ml/m2, the residual glomerular filtration rate decreased by 6.39 ± 3.69 ml/min/1.73 m2 and 29 of the patients (43.9%) developed RRF loss. The higher risk of RRF loss after 1 year of APD treatment was most pronounced in patients with daily urine volume of ≤400 ml/m2 before treatment, higher glucose exposure and higher ultrafiltration volume, while the lower risk of RRF loss was in patients with administration of diuretics. Each increase of 1 g/m2/day glucose exposure was associated with a 5% increase in RRF loss (odds ratio (OR) 1.05, p = 0.023) and each increase of 1 ml/m2/day ultrafiltration volume was associated with a 1% increase in RRF loss (OR 1.01, p = 0.013). Conclusion: In children undergoing APD, the risk for loss of RRF is associated with low urine volume at the start of APD, high glucose loading and high peritoneal ultrafiltration volume, while preservation of RRF is associated with the usage of diuretics.

Background Diabetic nephropaty (DN) occurs in approximately 40% of patients with diabetes mellitus, and is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease. The mechanisms of DN are not very clear more recently, but the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays an important role. It has been known that rennin-angiotensin system blockers have a renal protective effect. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of the candesartan on functional renal tests in streptozotocin (STZ) induced DN in rats. Methods DM was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection (ip) injection of STZ (60 mg/kg). In order to develop DN the animals were left in diabetic condition during 4 weeks. The DM rats were randomly assigned to the two experimental groups (STZ and STZ+CAN). To estimate the symptoms and signs of DN, the STZ group of rats was left without treatment. For assessment of the effects of the AT1 antagonist, candesartan (CAN) (5 mg/kg/day) was administered from week 4 to week 12. Renal function was assessed by determination of serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test, 24-hour urine volume and urine albumin. Results The administration of STZ have caused diabetes mellitus (DM) with symptoms and signs of DN including poor general condition, body weight loss, as well as abnormalities of serum and urinary renal function tests. In STZ group of rats, these symptoms have been more distinctly 8 and 12 weeks after administration of STZ. Conclusion The candesartan treatment, although not completely but to a great extent ameliorates the functional renal disorder induced by STZ and may be used as a first line drug in preventing DN.

Currently, severe thermal injury is becoming one of the most important problems of practical medicine. Diabetes is also recognized as another global medical and social challenge of our century. The emergency situation for the treatment and prevention of the consequences of these pathologies is a consequence of the lack of a reliable theoretical basis for solving specific clinical problems regarding the course of burns, diabetes and their complications. The aim of the study is to establish the patterns of structural changes in the mucous membrane of the duodenum after burn injury of the skin of rats under conditions of experimental diabetes mellitus. The study was performed on 63 laboratory white adult male rats weighing 180-210 g, which were divided into 3 groups: intact animals, rats with skin burns and rats with skin burns on the background of diabetes. The model of experimental diabetes mellitus was reproduced by administering Streptozotocin to rats intraperitoneally once at a dose of 50 mg/kg, pre-dissolved in 0.1 M citrate buffer solution (pH=4.5). The control of the development of hyperglycemia in the experimental groups was the level of glucose in the blood 24.24±0.79 mmol/l. In the control group this index was 8.03±0.4 mmol/l. Rats with skin burns revealed destructive manifestations, which are accompanied by an active inflammatory reaction and corresponding necrotic changes, while rats with skin burns on the background of diabetes mellitus pathological processes are not just “summed up”, but in some way adaptively modified with the involvement of stress mechanisms of the endoplasmic reticulum and associated autophagy.

 Residual kidney function (RKF) is a powerful indicator of residual renal functional capacity that eliminates uremic toxins and fluid in hemodialysis patients. The purpose of our study was to investigate the influence of hydrating status on residual renal function in patients with CKD 5HD. Methods. A prospective observational study included 60 hemodialysis patients with CKD VD. All patients were examined - taken general and biochemical blood tests, determined the level of urea and creatinine in the daily urine. RKF was evaluated by urine volume, residual KT / V and KRU. Water balance was measured and evaluated using BCM-monitor. Results.During the analysis of BCM data, hyperhydration (OH / ECW above 15%) was revealed in 15 among all patients included in the study, which amounted to 25%. A statistically significant difference between patients who were hyperhydrated and normohydrated was found in relative (OH / ECW) and absolute hydration (OH), ECW, and ultrafiltration rates. Thus, in the group of hyperhydrated patients, the average relative hydration rate was 14.3% lower compared to normohydrated patients (p < 0.001) and absolute hydration by 2.6 l (p < 0.001). In further analysis, no significant difference between two groups was found in the indicators characterizing the RKF, namely, between the level of urine output, KRU, KT / Vren. The level of ultrafiltration in the group with normal hydration is 900 ml lower than that with hyperhydration (p < 0.005). In study the influence of indicators of hydration status such as OH, OH / ECW, TBW, ECW, ICW on RKF indices no reliable correlation of the above mentioned values ​​with diuresis, KRU, KT / Vren (p > 0.05) was found. A positive correlation was found between KRU, diuresis and KT / Vren, indicating that with increasing diuresis the KRU value and KT / Vren increase (p < 0.001). The same relationship was found between diuresis and KT / Vren, p < 0.001. An analysis of the relationship between absolute and relative hydration with dialysis efficacy (eKT / V) revealed that dialysis efficacy decreases with increase of hydratation in CKD 5HD patients (p < 0.05). Conclusions. The results obtained in our study indicate that the indicators of hydration status at baseline do not allow to find out an influence of them on the baseline level of RKF (diuresis, KRU and KT / Vren) in patients with CKD 5HD. Issues of the influence of hydration status on changes in RKF during the observation will be addressed in the following reports.

BACKGROUND. Vitamin D has been known since 1928. The wide range of its metabolic effects paradoxically contrasts with the high prevalence of insufficiency and deficiency in the population of different regions of the world. A number of publications have demonstrated information about the relationship between vitamin D and insulin production by beta cells of the pancreas, as well as the excretory function of the kidneys.THE AIM: to assess the level of vitamin D in patients with diabetes mellitus in combination with chronic kidney disease (CKD).PATIENTS AND METHODS. A questionnaire and a study of the level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, creatinine, urea, and glucose in the blood were conducted in 117 patients aged 18 to 84 years who gave voluntary consent. All patients were divided into three study groups: group 1 - patients with long-term DM, group 2 - patients with newly diagnosed DM, and 3 - control group. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is calculated by the formula CKD-EPI.RESULTS. As a result of the study, it was found that patients with DM, regardless of the duration of its course, were more likely to suffer from vitamin D deficiency, compared with the control group, where D-deficiency and D-deficiency occurred with the same frequency. In addition, patients with DM were more likely to have stage 2-3A CKD, in contrast to the control group, where preserved kidney function prevailed. We also identified and confirmed the direct dependence of GFR on the level of vitamin D in the blood of patients with DM.CONCLUSION. In the patients studied by us, a clear association was found between a lower vitamin D index in the blood serum and the presence of a history of diabetes. They also showed a tendency to decrease the excretory function of the kidneys and the formation of CKD. Consequently, a full-fledged diagnosis of vitamin D-deficient conditions and timely initiated therapy can prevent or at least slow down the progression of CKD in these patients, which will certainly improve their quality of life and reduce the costs of health services for renal replacement therapy and rehabilitation of this group of patients.
