Microvascular fluid permeability was assessed by determination of the capillary filtration coefficient in the forearm of ten young Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients with a short duration of diabetes, satisfactory glycaemic control and minimal evidence of microangiopathy, and ten age- and sex-matched control subjects. A strain gauge plethysmographic method with a computer based logging and analysis system was used. This enabled differentiation between the volume filling and fluid filtration components of the response to venous pressure elevation. The median capillary filtration coefficient was found to be significantly higher in the young diabetic patients in comparison with control subjects (9.2 x 10(-3) ml.min-1.100 g tissue-1.mmHg-1 vs 3.8 x 10(-3) ml.min-1.100 g tissue-1.mmHg-1, p < 0.001). There were no significant correlations between capillary filtration coefficient and either plasma glucose concentration, haemoglobin A1c or duration of diabetes. As there is no evidence from other studies to support an increase in capillary surface area in the forearms of young Type 1 diabetic patients, these results may reflect a primary change in microvascular fluid permeability.

D002199 Capillary Permeability The property of blood capillary ENDOTHELIUM that allows for the selective exchange of substances between the blood and surrounding tissues and through membranous barriers such as the BLOOD-AIR BARRIER; BLOOD-AQUEOUS BARRIER; BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER; BLOOD-NERVE BARRIER; BLOOD-RETINAL BARRIER; and BLOOD-TESTIS BARRIER. Small lipid-soluble molecules such as carbon dioxide and oxygen move freely by diffusion. Water and water-soluble molecules cannot pass through the endothelial walls and are dependent on microscopic pores. These pores show narrow areas (TIGHT JUNCTIONS) which may limit large molecule movement.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
