    Notes: Summary The relationship between arterial blood pressure and diabetic nephropathy was examined in 61 Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients (22 females and 39 males). All patients fulfilled the following criteria: persistent proteinuria (〉0.5g/day), onset of diabetes before 31 years of age, age 〈42 years, serum creatinine 〈130 μmol/l, and no antihypertensive treatment. Thirty Type 1 diabetic patients without persistent proteinuria but matched for sex, age, ideal body weight and duration of diabetes, and 30 healthy subjects matched for sex, age and ideal body weight were also studied as controls. The diabetic patients with persistent proteinuria had elevated blood pressures (146/96±17/10 mmHg, mean±SD) compared with 123/75±11/8 mmHg in diabetic patients without persistent proteinuria, and normal subjects (120/77±6/6 mmHg; p〈0.001 for each). Diastolic blood pressure ⩾95 mmHg was found in 51% of the group with persistent proteinuria. Elevated arterial blood pressure is frequently present in young Type 1 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy and normal serum creatinine.

    Notes: Summary The effect of an acute reduction in arterial blood pressure upon kidney function was studied in 12 patients with Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes and incipient nephropathy (persistent microalbuminuria). Renal function was assessed by measurement of the glomerular filtration rate (single bolus 51Cr-EDTA technique) and by the urinary albumin excretion rate (radioimmunoassay). The study was performed twice within 2 weeks, with the patients receiving a slow intravenous injection of either clonidine (225 μg) or saline (154 mmol/l) in random order. Clonidine reduced arterial blood pressure from 125/79±13/8 to 104/68±9/7 mmHg (p 〈 0.01), urinary albumin excretion rate from 68 (31–369) to 46 (6–200) μg/min (median and range) (p〈0.01), and fractional clearance of albumin in all patients (median 29%) (p 〈 0.01). Glomerular filtration rate was 110±11 before and 106±13 ml/min/1.73 m2 after clonidine injection. The blood glucose concentration was 15±4mmol/l before and 14±5 mmol/l after clonidine injection. In agreement with findings in animal studies, our results suggest that microalbuminuria is to a large extent pressure-dependent, probably because of glomerular hypertension, and that autoregulation of glomerular filtration rate is normal in most patients with incipient diabetic nephropathy.

    Notes: Summary We investigated whether the glomerular synthesis of prostaglandins modulates the glomerular filtration rate and albumimiria in diabetic nephropathy. The urinary excretion of immunoreactive prostaglandin E2 (253pg/min) was significantly elevated in eight Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic women with nephropathy as compared with nine normoalbuminuric Type 1 diabetic women (95pg/min) and 11 non-diabetic women (132 pg/min), respectively (p〈0.01). Glomerular filtration rate (single bolus 51Cr-EDTA technique) and albuminuria (radioimmunoassay) were measured twice within two weeks in the eight Type 1 diabetic women with nephropathy. All eight patients were on a diabetic diet without sodium restriction. The study was performed as a randomized doubleblind trial, with the patients receiving either indomethacin (150mg/day) or placebo for three days prior to the kidney function studies. Indomethacin treatment induced a significant reduction in urinary prostaglandin E2 excretion (73%, p〈0.01), glomerular filtration rate diminished from 120±18 to 106±17ml/min/1.73m2 (p〈0.05), albuminuria declined from 148 to 69 μg/min (median and range) (p〈0.05) and fractional clearance of albumin diminished 42% (p〈0.05). Blood glucose concentrations were comparable during the placebo and indomethacin treatment, 13.4±4 versus 14.2±3 mmol/l, respectively. Our results suggest that glomerular filtration rate in early diabetic nephropathy is dependent on the enhanced glomerular synthesis of vasodilating prostaglandins.
