Salt handling in patients with chronic renal insufficiency. 1982

H A Koomans, and J C Roos, and P Boer, and G G Geyskes, and E J Mees

In 7 patients with moderate degrees of renal insufficiency the effect of high and low salt intake on renal NaCl handling was investigated by means of clearance techniques. After a steady state had been reached at low (1 g NaCl daily) and high (10 mmol NaCl daily for every ml X min-1 glomerular filtration rate) salt intake, proximal and distal fractional salt reabsorption (FSRprox and FSRdist) were estimated, maximal free water clearance being taken as an index of distal NaCl reabsorption. Mean FSRprox during low salt intake was 86.7% (range 80-90%) of the filtered load, and decreased to 77.9% (range 70.1-80.5%) during high salt intake. The water-loading procedure in these patients resulted in enhanced NaCl and nonelectrolyte solute excretion, especially during salt restriction. This made certain corrections obligatory for the proper calculation of FSRdist. Mean FSRdist during low salt intake was 96.5% (range 93.1-99.8%) of distal delivery, and decreased to 76.0% (range 68.0-82.1%) during high salt intake. This decrease of FSRdist also existed at comparable levels of distal delivery. It is concluded that renal response to chronic sodium loading in patients with chronic renal insufficiency is similar to that as in normal men, and consists of reduction of both proximal and distal fractional NaCl reabsorption.

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.

D007684 Kidney Tubules Long convoluted tubules in the nephrons. They collect filtrate from blood passing through the KIDNEY GLOMERULUS and process this filtrate into URINE. Each renal tubule consists of a BOWMAN CAPSULE; PROXIMAL KIDNEY TUBULE; LOOP OF HENLE; DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULE; and KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCT leading to the central cavity of the kidney (KIDNEY PELVIS) that connects to the URETER.
