Variance of ACE and AT1 receptor gene does not influence the risk of neonatal acute renal failure
High neonatal activity of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is crucial for the maintenance of glomerular filtration of the newborn. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether genetic polymorphis...

Monitoring cardiovascular changes during hemodialysis in children
Hemodialysis (HD) causes rapid volume shifts and circulatory changes. In chronic renal failure (CRF) Na+/K+ATP-ase is depressed, whereas endogenous digoxin-like factor (EDLF) is elevated. Our aim was to character...

Normal kidney function and elevated natriuresis in young men born with low birth weight
The aim of our study was to characterize renal function and its relationship to blood pressure in healthy young Caucasian men born with a birth weight under 2,500 g (LBW). Urinary protein patterns, N-acetylglucos...

Sodium-lithium countertransport in children with nephrotic syndrome
The mechanisms of sodium retention in edema-forming minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) have not been completely evaluated. The aim of this study was to characterize the transmembrane sodium transport in ...

Renal excretion of endothelin in children
Endothelin (ET) is a peptide with profound vasoconstrictive potential. First isolated from porcine endothelial cell supernatant, it is produced also by smooth muscle, epithelial and circulating cells. Besides...

Endothelin excretion during ketoacidosis does not correlate with tubular dysfunction
Urinary excretion of endothelin was measured by radioimmunoassay in children with diabetes mellitus during severe ketoacidosis and 12 days later when blood pH and blood glucose concentrations were normal. Meta...

Atrial natriuretic peptide and sodium homeostasis in chronic renal failure
In order to evaluate the possible role of vasoactive hormones in the mechanism of exaggerated sodium loss due to reduced renal mass we measured plasma concentration of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), aldoste...
