    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei 7 chronisch niereninsuffizienten Patienten, die regelmäßig hämofiltriert (HF) wurden, erfolgten während der Behandlung periodische Bestimmungen von ANP and c-GMP. Um den Einfluß des Blutreinigungsverfahrens auf die Veränderungen der Plasmakonzentrationen dieser Hormone zu untersuchen, wurde bei den Patienten eine Hämodialyse (HD) mit identischer Ultrafiltration und Behandlungsdauer durchgeführt. Bei beiden Behandlungsverfahren wurde ein gleichartiger kontinuierlicher Abfall von ANP und c-GMP beobachtet. Nach Kopf-Tieflagerung wegen Hypotonie unter HD stiegen die ANP und c-GMP Werte akut an. Bei einem anderen Patienten wurde gleichfalls ein akuter Anstieg während der HD beim Auftreten einer Tachyarrhythmia absoluta beobachtet. Diese Befunde zeigen, daß die Freisetzung von ANP bei chronischer Niereninsuffizienz nicht verändert ist. Da eine enge Beziehung zwischen Intravasalvolumen und der Höhe des Plasma ANP besteht, kann die regelmäßige Bestimmung dieses Hormons zur Beurteilung des Hydratationszustandes terminal niereninsuffizienter Patienten herangezogen werden.
    Notes: Summary ANP and c-GMP concentrations in 7 patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) undergoing regular hemofiltration (HF) were determined. After switching to hemodialysis (HD) under identical ultrafiltration and treatment time no significant difference of the ANP and c-GMP profiles was detected, suggesting that the type of treatment does not affect ANP and c-GMP plasma levels. In both procedures a continuous decrease of ANP and c-GMP was observed. Head down tilting to compensate hypotension during HD was immediately followed by an increase in ANP and c-GMP during ultrafiltration. An acute onset of tachyarrhythmia absoluta during HD was also accompanied by a rise in ANP plasma concentrations. This demonstrates that ANP secretion is not altered in patients with CRF. Since ANP plasma levels closely correlate with intravascular volume, periodic determination of this hormone in HD/HF patients may provide diagnostic information to detect volume overload.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei 32 Patienten mit schwerer, therapieresistenter Hypertonie wurden unter der antihypertensive Therapie mit dem Angiotensin-converting-enzyme-inhibitor Captopril systematische Blutgerinnungsuntersuchungen durchgeführt. Bereits 2 h nach Therapiebeginn kam es zu einem Anstieg von Fibrinmonomerkomplexen, der nach 26 h und nach 1 Woche noch ausgeprägter war. Bei Kontrolluntersuchungen nach 6 bzw. 12 Monaten waren die Fibrinmonomere wieder weitgehend normalisiert. Bei einigen Patienten mit deutlichem Fibrinmonomeranstieg verkürzte sich zeitweise auch die PTT. Zusätzlich fand sich ein Anstieg der Antiplasminaktivität. Zu dem deutlichsten Anstieg der Fibrinmonomere kam es vor allem bei schneller und ausgeprägter Blutdrucksenkung. Bei 15 gesunden Normalpersonen stiegen ebenfalls die Fibrinmonomere nach einer einmaligen Captoprildosis von 25 mg an. Zusätzlich verkürzte sich die PTT und das Antiplasmin stieg an. Mit Fibrinplatten und der Bestimmung von Thrombengewichten konnte durch Captopril eine Hemmung der Fibrinolyse nachgewiesen werden. Sieben von 58 Patienten mit schwerer Hyptertonie und Atherosklerose erlitten unter der Captopriltherapie schwere vaskuläre Komplikationen: Myokardinfarkt (n=2), coronare Insuffizienz (1), cerebrale Ischämie (1), zunehmende Niereninsuffizienz (3). Durch die gefundenen Blutgerinnungsveränderungen könnten diese Komplikationen bei Patienten mit schwerer Hypertonie begünstigt sein.
    Notes: Summary Systematic blood coagulation analyses were conducted in 32 severely hypertensive patients treated with the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor captopril. Two hours after the first captopril dose, fibrin monomer complexes had already increased. This rise was even more distinct after 26 h and 1 week. Tests after 6 and 12 months of therapy showed a regression of fibrin monomer complexes to pretreatment values. In several patients with a marked increase in fibrin monomer complexes, the partial thromboplastin time (PTT) became shorter and antiplasmin activity increased. The most pronounced increase in fibrin monomer complexes was seen in patients with a rapid and excessive blood pressure reduction. The concentration of fibrin monomer complexes also rose in 15 healthy normotensive subjects, after a single oral dose of captopril (25 mg). Additionally, the PTT was shortened and antiplasmin significantly rose. An inhibition of fibrinolysis by captopril could be demonstrated by the effect on fibrin plates and thrombus weight after streptokinase. Out of 58 patients with severe hypertension and atherosclerosis treated with captopril, 7 patients suffered vascular complications during antihypertensive therapy: myocardial infarction (n=2), coronary insufficiency (1), cerebral ischemia (1), renal insufficiency (3). These ischemic lesions may be partly explained by the alterations of coagulation and fibrinolysis under captopril therapy.

    Notes: Summary Low-molecular-weight (LMW) heparin has been compared to standard unfractionated (UF) heparin in a total of 49 patients on hemodialysis and hemofiltration in order to determine the necessary therapeutic dose and its effect on the coagulation system. A LMW heparin dose corresponding to 50% of the normal UF heparin dose was found to produce similar plasma heparin levels (anti-FXa-U/ml) in particular on minimal heparinization. At higher doses, UF heparin produced a more marked increase in plasma-heparin than did LMW heparin. Highly significant differences were found between UF and LMW heparin in their effects on PTT and thrombin time. Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) increased under UF heparin by an average of 120 s whereas LMW heparin only produced an increase of 5–7 s. Thrombin time was increased by 250–280 s under UF heparin and by 5–8 s under LMW heparin. With this LMW heparin dose of 50% of the UF heparin dose, no thrombosis of the extracorporal system occurred and no macroscopic detectable thrombotic material was found in the dialyzers or filters. No significant differences were observed between the effects of UF and LMW heparin on Factor VIII activity and fibrin monomers, so that a difference in coagulation activation between the two heparins can be excluded. Furthermore, there were no changes in thromboplastin time according to Quick, fibrinogen, antithrombin III, plasminogen, and a2-antiplasmin. Thus effective Anti-FXa levels and by similar antithrombotic activity, LMW heparin will probably present less of a bleeding risk because of its reduced effect on PTT and thrombin time. LMW heparin therefore appears to be a good alternative to UF heparin for patients with renal insufficiency requiring dialysis. LMW heparin is indicated in particular in patients at bleeding risk, with diabetic retinopathy, on therapy with oral anticoagulants or platelet aggregation inhibitors, and with thrombocytopenia.

    Notes: Summary The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor captopril proved to be an effective antihypertensive drug during a 5-year follow-up study of patients with severe hypertension who had been resistant to a triple-drug regimen. Of the 42 patients, 41 had to be treated additionally with diuretics. Because of hypokalemia, potassium supplements were necessary in 26 patients, despite the use of “potassium-saving” diuretics in 12 patients. Blood pressure was controlled sufficiently in 3/4 of the patients during the 5 years. Patients with a large elevation in plasma renin activity showed the best response to the treatment. Six patients died during the 5 years. Therapy had to be stopped in 11 patients because of complications. The following complications and adverse effects were observed: cerebral ischemia (n=10), vertigo and orthostasis (10), exanthema (9), hypogeusia (7), circulatory failure (7), myocardial infarction (6), and scintigraphically demonstrable decrease of renal perfusion (5). One patient with bilateral renal artery stenosis suffered from acute renal failure, which was reversible after withdrawal of captopril. Significant changes of red and white blood cell counts, transaminases, lipids, urine protein excretion, and heart rate were not observed.

    Notes: Summary In 50 patients without renal insufficiency, fibrinolytic activity, as reflected by euglobulin lysis time, was determined in blood obtained from the renal veins, the renal artery and a peripheral vein. Fibrinolytic activity was found to be significantly higher in the renal veins than in the renal artery and the peripheral vein. Other coagulation and fibrinolysis parameters did not show such differences. In addition, a patient with acute oligoanuric renal failure was investigated. This patient demonstrated reduced overall fibrinolytic activity, but there were no differences between the activity in the blood of the renal veins and that of the renal artery or peripheral vein. It seems, therefore, that the kidneys release plasminogen activators into the systemic circulation. This may be decreased in renal failure, probably contributing to the well-known diminished fibrinolysis in some kidney diseases.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei 10 Patienten aus dem chronischen Hämodialyseprogramm wurden die Calcium- und Magnesiumkonzentrationen im Plasma und in den Erythrocyten jeweils vor und nach der Dialyse gemessen und mit den an 16 nierengesunden Kontrollpersonen ermittelten Werten verglichen. Die Konzentrationen in den Erythrocyten wurden aus den im Plasma und Vollblut mit einem Atomabsorptions-Spektralphotometer gemessenen Ca- und Mg-Konzentrationen unter Berücksichtigung des Hämatokritwertes nach einer neuen Formel berechnet. Bei den Dialysepatienten waren dabei die im Mittel auf das Vierfache der Norm erhöhten Ca-Konzentrationen in den Erythrocyten besonders auffallend. Die von anderen Arbeitsgruppen bei chronisch niereninsuffizienten Patienten beschriebene Hypermagnesämie konnten wir bestätigen. Unter der Hämodialyse kam es zu einem deutlichen Abfall der Plasma-Mg-Konzentrationen, während die Ca-Konzentrationen konstant blieben. In den Erythrocyten fielen unter der Dialyse sowohl die Ca- als auch die Mg-Konzentrationen ab. Bei 2 unter gleichen Bedingungen dialysierten Patienten hingegen kam es zu einem noch ungeklärten Anstieg der intraerythrocytären Ca- und Mg-Konzentrationen. Die Analysenmethodik sowie das Verhalten der gemessenen Elektrolyte unter der Dialyse werden diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary In ten patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis, the plasma and red blood cell concentrations of calcium and magnesium were measured just before and directly after dialysis. The results were compared with the values obtained from sixteen healthy subjects. A new formula was derived—using the measured concentrations in plasma and whole blood as well as the hematocrit corrected for the trapped plasma—which permits the calculation of electrolyte concentrations in erythrocytes. Calcium and magnesium were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. A remarkable increase of calcium concentrations in the red blood cells of the hemodialysed patients was noted. In the mean, these concentrations reached a value four times higher than in the control group. Furthermore, a hypermagnesaemia was found in patients with chronic renal failure, which is in accordance to previous findings of other authors. During hemodialysis plasma magnesium decreased whereas plasma calcium remained constant. Both, calcium and magnesium in the red blood cells decreased during dialysis. Two patients, however, showed an unexplained increase of both calcium and magnesium content in their red blood cells. The analytical procedure and the alterations in the electrolytes measured are discussed.
