Transcapillary Escape Rate of Albumin in Type II Diabetic Patients: The relationship with microalbuminuria and hypertension

Abstract: By stepwise regression, TERalb was related (step 1) to log-AER (r = 0.30) or to the presence of microalbuminuria (r = 0.36) and (step 2) to dBP (multiple r = 0.40) or to the presence of hypertension (multiple r = 0.51) in the whole diabetic cohort (groups 3-6). TERalb was related to dBP (r = 0.47) or to the presence of hypertension (r = 0.56) only in normoalbuminuric diabetic patients (groups 3 and 4) and to log-AER (r = 0.56) or the presence of microalbuminuria (r = 0.68) only in normotensive patients (groups… Show more

“…Furthermore, sodium retention and excessive activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system have been linked to uncontrolled BP in individuals with CKD (20,21). Also, albuminuria is thought to be preceded by systemic endothelial dysfunction (22). Although endothelial dysfunction is associated with incident hypertension, the presence of uncontrolled BP has also been associated with worsening endothelial function (23,24).…”

“…During diabetes, basement membrane proteoglycan content is markedly decreased in several tissues such as the renal glomerulus [ 35, 36], where the loss of charge selective matrix is reflected by an increase in AER and in GAG excretions. In microalbuminuric hypertensive diabetic patients the albumin transcapillary escape from the general vascular bed is increased [ 37], suggesting a widespread basal membrane alteration. The proteoglycan reduction at the glomerular level might be responsible for an increase in basement membrane formation from mesangial cells, resulting in microthrombus formation, hyper‐responsiveness to growth factors and enhanced secretion of vasoconstrictor molecules [ 38].…”

“…(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17) While studies which started sampling 10 minutes after injection found a lower TER alb of approximately 5.5%/h. (2,8,(18)(19)(20)(21)(22) These differences in TER alb were not related to differences in patient population, but are in line with the multi-exponential kinetics of rHSA.…”
