title: Role of atrial natriuretic peptide in the pathogenesis of sodium retention in IDDM with and without glomerular hyperfiltration.
abstract: The pathogenetic determinants of sodium retention in IDDM are not fully understood. The aim of this study was to elucidate the action of ANP in 11 IDDM patients with high GFR (greater than or equal to 135 ml.min-1 x 1.73 m-2), referred to here as HF patients; in 10 IDDM patients with normal GFR (greater than 90 and less than 135 ml.min-1 x 1.73 m-2), referred to here as NF patients; and 12 control subjects, here called C subjects, at baseline and during saline infusion administered on the basis of either body weight (2 mmol.kg-1 x 60 min-1; Saline 1) or of ECV (12 mM.ECVL-1 x 90 min-1; Saline 2) during euglycemic insulin-glucose clamp. C subjects and both HF and NF IDDM patients received a second Saline 1 infusion accompanied by ANP infusion (0.02 microgram.kg-1.min-1) at euglycemic levels. HF and NF patients were studied again after 3 mo of treatment with (10 mg/day). Quinapril (CI 906, Malesci, Florence, Italy), an ACE inhibitor without sulfhydryl group. At baseline, both HF and NF IDDM patients had higher plasma ANP concentrations than C subjects (HF, 36 +/- 4, P less than 0.01 and NF, 34 +/- 3, P less than 0.01 vs. C, 19 +/- 3 pg/ml). Plasma ANP and natriuretic response to isotonic volume expansion was impaired both in HF (44 +/- 8 pg/ml, NS vs. base) and NF (40 +/- 7 pg/ml, NS vs. base) compared with C (41 +/- 4 pg/ml, P less than 0.01 vs. base) during Saline 1. On the contrary, plasma ANP response to Saline 2 was similar in HF and NF patients and C subjects, but IDDM patients had still lower urinary sodium excretion rates. The simultaneous administration of ANP and Saline 1 resulted in comparable plasma ANP plateaus in C subjects and HF and NF patients. However, urinary sodium excretion rate was significantly lower in HF and NF patients than in C subjects: HF, 267 +/- 64, P less than 0.01 and NF, 281 +/- 42, P less than 0.01 vs. C, 424 +/- 39 mumol.min-1 x 1.73 m-2. During simultaneous administration of ANP and Saline 1, GFR and FF increased in C subjects, but not in HF and NF patients. HF and NF patients had higher urinary vasodilatory prostanoid excretion rates than C subjects at baseline. Saline infusion did not change urinary excretion rate of prostanoids either in C subjects or IDDM patients (both NF and HF).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
