Renal functional reserve in patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus

Abstract: Renal functional reserve is inversely associated with concentration of C-reactive protein in normoalbuminuric patients with Type 1 diabetes and diabetic retinopathy. This finding provides evidence that decreased renal functional reserve might reflect endothelial dysfunction. We speculate that decreased renal functional reserve might possibly show as an early marker of diabetic nephropathy.

“…The mechanisms behind exercise-induced ADMA reduction cannot be directly determined from our results. It is not likely that changes in renal function, which is also related to endothelial function [32], account for the altered ADMA plasma levels, because creatinine levels remained in the normal range and did not change during the observation period. There is evidence that training may influence the antioxidant status through increased expression of the potent radical scavenger superoxide dismutase [33].…”

“…Both the decrease in NAG excretion and the increase in DIR, which roughly corresponds to the renal functional reserve, may also reflect the beneficial effect of sulodexide on the renal-vascular function by limiting the tubulo-interstitial compartment dysfunction [31]. However, some data suggest that the permanent decrease in the renal functional reserve can only be detected in diabetic patients whose baseline kidney function is still normal [32]. At present we have no data on DIR in the control group, and our conclusions are speculative.…”

“…It is not likely that changes in renal function, which is also related to endothelial function, account for the altered plasma ADMA levels, because inulin and creatinine clearances remained within the normal range in transplant patients and did not differ at the end of the observation period. There is evidence that training may affect the antioxidant status through increased expression of the potent radical scavenger superoxide dismutase [24,25,26]. …”
