    Notes: Summary Haemodynamic variables (plasma volume, heart rate, blood pressure, cardiac output, stroke volume, pulmonary tissue volume, total peripheral vascular resistance, hepato-splanchnic vascular resistance, lower extremity vascular resistance and plasma catecholamines) were measured before and after insulin-induced hypoglycaemia in seven healthy men. Plasma volume decreased significantly at the nadir of glucose (mean decrease 222±41 ml) and subsequently increased to pre-hypoglycaemic values within 30 min. Cardiac output increased in response to hypoglycaemia (mean increase 2.8±0.61/min). The early rise in cardiac output was primarily due to an increase in heart rate, but later mainly due to increased stroke volume. Since pulmonary tissue volume was constant, the observed changes in cardiac output are unlikely to be due to a Frank-Starling mechanism but rather to increased sympatho-adrenal activity. Total peripheral vascular resistance as well as lower extremity vascular resistance decreased, whereas hepato-splanchnic vascular resistance was unaffected. Thus insulin-induced hypoglycaemia has marked transient effects on the circulation.

    Notes: Summary The prevalence of micro- and macroalbuminuria was determined in Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic patients, less than 76 years of age, attending a diabetic clinic during 1987. All eligible patients (n=557) were asked to collect a 24-h urine sample for quantitative albumin analysis. Urine collections were obtained in 296 males and 253 females (96%). Normoalbuminuria were defined as urinary albumin excretion≤30 mg/24 h (n=323), microalbuminuria as 31–299 mg/24 h (n=151), and macroalbuminuria as ≥300 mg/ 24 h (n=75). The prevalence of macroalbuminuria was significantly higher in males (20%) than in females (6%), while the prevalence of microalbuminuria was almost identical in males (26%) and females (29%). The prevalence of arterial hypertension increased with increased albuminuria, being 48%, 68%, and 85% in patients with normoalbuminuria, microalbuminuria, and macroalbuminuria respectively. Prevalence of proliferative retinopathy rose with increasing albuminuria, being 2%, 5% and 12% in patients with normoalbuminuria, microalbuminuria, and macroalbuminuria respectively. Prevalence of coronary heart disease, based on Minnesota coded electrocardiograms, was more frequent in patients with macroalbuminuria (46%) compared to patients with microalbuminuria (26%) and patients with normoalbuminuria (22%). Foot ulcers were more frequent in micro- and macroalbuminuric patients, being 13% and 25%, respectively, compared to 5% in patients with normoalbuminuria. This cross-sectional study has revealed a high prevalence of microalbuminuria (27%) and macroalbuminuria (14%) in Type 2 diabetic patients. Patients with raised urinary albumin excretion are characterized by obesity, elevated haemoglobin Alc, increased frequency of arterial hypertension, proliferative retinopathy, coronary heart disease and foot ulcers. Thus, these findings suggest that urinary excretion of albumin should be monitored routinely in patients with Type 2 diabetes.

    Notes: Summary Haemodynamic variables were measured during supine rest and during ergometer cycle exercise at two work loads (50 W and 100 W) in normal subjects (n = 7), in insulin-dependent diabetic subjects without neuropathy (n = 8), in insulin-dependent diabetic subjects with slight autonomic neuropathy (decreased beat-to-beat variation in heart rate, which is considered due to a cardiac parasympathetic defect; n = 8), and in insulin-dependent diabetic subjects with severe autonomic neuropathy, including orthostatic hypotension (n = 7). Compared with normal subjects, cardiac stroke volume was lower in the diabetic subjects with autonomic neuropathy, both at rest and during exercise (p 〈 0.025), whereas intermediate values were found in the diabetic subjects without neuropathy. The increase in cardiac output in response to exercise was smaller (p 〈 0.05) in both diabetic groups with autonomic neuropathy compared with the normal and diabetic subjects without autonomic neuropathy. The increase in hepato-splanchnic vascular resistance was smaller in the diabetic subjects with severe autonomic neuropathy than in the normal subjects and the diabetic subjects without autonomic neuropathy (p 〈 0.025), whereas intermediate values were found in the diabetic subjects with slight autonomic neuropathy. We conclude that, in diabetic patients with severe autonomic neuropathy, the responses of the heart and the splanchnic resistance vessels to exercise are impaired. While sympathetic neuropathy may be responsible for impaired function of splanchnic resistance vessels, both cardiac sympathetic neuropathy and diabetic cardiomyopathy may be involved in the impaired cardiac response to exercise in diabetic subjects with autonomic neuropathy.

    Notes: Summary Genetic predisposition to essential hypertension, represented by maximal erythrocyte sodium/lithium countertransport activity, has been suggested as a marker for the risk of developing clinical nephropathy in Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. To evaluate this hypothesis we measured arterial blood pressure and maximal sodium/lithium countertransport activity of erythrocytes in 80 parents of 49 Type 1 diabetic patients with clinical nephropathy, 78 parents of 49 normoalbuminuric patients and 17 age-matched non-diabetic individuals. The two diabetic groups were carefully matched. In the two groups of parents blood pressure and cell sodium/lithium countertransport activity showed no significant differences (137/83 vs 133/81 mmHg and 0.33 vs 0.32 mmol/(1 cells x h) respectively). The proportion of parents who had died or received anti-hypertensive drugs was similar in the two groups. The patients with Type 1 diabetes had significantly higher sodium/lithium countertransport compared to the 39 non-diabetic control subjects independently of the presence or absence of nephropathy (p〈0.002). However, patients with nephropathy tended to have higher sodium/lithium countertransport activity than normoalbuminuric patients (0.48 vs 0.41 mmol/(1 cells x h), p = 0.06). We conclude that genetic predispositions to essential hypertension and increased maximal erythrocyte sodium/lithium counter-transport activity do not appear to be risk markers for the development of clinical nephropathy in Type 1 diabetic patients.

    Notes: Summary Glomerular hyperfiltration and microalbuminuria are both regarded as risk factors for the development of diabetic nephropathy in insulin-dependent diabetic patients. Information on glomerular hyperfiltration is scarse in microalbuminuric non-insulin-dependent diabetic (NIDDM) patients. Therefore, we performed a cross-sectional study of glomerular filtration rate (single i. v. bolus injection of 51Cr-EDTA, plasma clearance for 4 h) in 158 microalbuminuric NIDDM patients compared to 39 normoalbuminuric NIDDM patients and 20 non-diabetic control subjects. The groups were well-matched with regard to sex, age and body mass index. The uncorrected (ml/min) and the adjusted (ml · min–1· 1.73 m–2) glomerular filtration rate were both clearly elevated in the microalbuminuric patients: 139 ± 29 and 117 ± 24 as compared to 115 ± 19 and 99 ± 15; 111 ± 23 and 98 ± 21 in normoalbuminuric NIDDM patients and control subjects, respectively (p 〈 0.001). The glomerular filtration rate (ml · min–1· 1.73 m–2) in NIDDM patients who had never received antihypertensive treatment was also clearly elevated in the microalbuminuric patients (n = 96): 119 ± 22 as compared to 100 ± 14 and 98 ± 21 in normoalbuminuric NIDDM patients (n = 27) and control subjects (n = 20), respectively (p 〈 0.001). Glomerular hyperfiltration (elevation above mean glomerular filtration rate plus 2 SD in normoalbuminuric NIDDM patients) was demonstrated in 37 (95 % confidence interval 30–45)% of the microalbuminuric patients. Multiple regression analysis revealed that HbA1 c, 24-h urinary sodium excretion, age and known duration of diabetes were correlated with glomerular filtration rate in microalbuminuric NIDDM patients (r 2 = 0.21, p 〈 0.01). Our cross-sectional study indicates that NIDDM patients at high risk of developing diabetic nephropathy are also characterized by an additional putative risk factor for progression, glomerular hyperfiltration.
