The plasma concentrations of dopamine (DA), adrenaline (AD) and noradrenaline (NA) were measured during 29 routine hemodialysis (HD) treatments on 13 patients to determine whether any changes occurred in the concentrations of these substances during HD. All of the 13 patients studied demonstrated a fall in mean arterial pressure (MAP) when HD was commenced. Decreased concentrations of all three catecholamines were also demonstrated after the first hour of dialysis. Plasma AD rose after two hours, but NA and DA were still significantly lower than pre-dialysis values at the end of HD. Study of 12 further patients during the first hour of HD confirmed that the NA level had fallen significantly by the fifteenth minute of HD, while the DA and AD levels took somewhat longer to fall. Both NA and DA were present in the dialysate in substantial amounts. Although the fall in MAP which accompanies HD is probably multifactorial, the loss of plasma catecholamines during HD may possibly contribute to the hemodynamic changes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007022 Hypotension Abnormally low BLOOD PRESSURE that can result in inadequate blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. Common symptom is DIZZINESS but greater negative impacts on the body occur when there is prolonged depravation of oxygen and nutrients. Blood Pressure, Low,Hypotension, Vascular,Low Blood Pressure,Vascular Hypotension
D007674 Kidney Diseases Pathological processes of the KIDNEY or its component tissues. Disease, Kidney,Diseases, Kidney,Kidney Disease
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
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.

D002395 Catecholamines A general class of ortho-dihydroxyphenylalkylamines derived from TYROSINE. Catecholamine,Sympathin,Sympathins
D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.

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.
