Water immersion (WI) induced alterations of adrenaline and noradrenaline levels were examined in 20 patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) and 15 healthy persons. In patients with CRF a significantly elevated mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), a markedly elevated plasma level of adrenaline but only a slightly elevated concentration of plasma noradrenaline were observed as compared with healthy persons. In all examined groups WI induced significant decrease of mean arterial pressure and plasma adrenaline and noradrenaline levels. In patients with CRF the WI induced a decrease of MAP and of plasma adrenaline was significantly more marked, while that of plasma noradrenaline was significantly less than in healthy persons. Results presented in this study suggest the existence of an impaired function of the sympathetic nervous system, mainly of the beta-adrenergic one in CRF.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D004837 Epinephrine The active sympathomimetic hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic VASOCONSTRICTION and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the HEART, and dilates BRONCHI and cerebral vessels. It is used in ASTHMA and CARDIAC FAILURE and to delay absorption of local ANESTHETICS.
