- W2090890003 abstract "L-Arginine deficiency and supplementation in experimental acute renal failure and in human kidney transplant recipients.BackgroundThe “L-arginine paradox” refers to situations where L-arginine (L-Arg) supplementation stimulates nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, despite saturating intracellular concentrations. This paradox is frequently observed in acute renal failure (ARF). First, the effects of L-Arg on renal function of rats with ARF were studied. Based on the promising results from these initial studies, the second part of our study searched for a form of ARF in humans that could be studied easily under conditions with little variance and yet was linked with endothelial dysfunction. Thus, we investigated the effects of L-Arg supplementation immediately after kidney transplantation in 54 patients.MethodsIn uranyl nitrate-induced ARF in rats the effects of L-Arg and L-NNA (inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase; NOS) on glomerular filtration rate (GFR), renal plasma flow (RPF), blood pressure (BP) and NOx (NO2-+NO3-) excretion were examined. Tissue L-Arg levels, NOS activities, immunodetection of NOS and superoxide dismutase (SOD), activities of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase and xanthine oxidase, and nitrotyrosine immunoreactive protein (NT-IR) were determined and compared to sham operated animals. Secondly, in a randomized, double-blind study, the effects of L-Arg on GFR and RPF were investigated in 54 kidney transplant recipients, receiving IV L-Arg for three days. GFR and RPF were measured on days 1, 3, 5 and 10 by scintigraphy.ResultsIn experimental ARF, decreased RPF and GFR were associated with reduced tissue L-Arg levels, endothelial NOS-III expression, NO formation and NOx excretion. Reduction in GFR, RPF and NOx excretion were reversed upon administration of exogenous L-Arg. There also was a loss of Cu,Zn-SOD, a key enzyme against oxidative stress, and an elevation of NT-IR, an indicator of nitrosative stress and suggested marker for pathological actions of NO. However, NT-IR was not dependent on de novo NO synthesis and not related to the functional effects of L-Arg administration. In kidney transplant recipients receiving organs with a short cold ischemia time (CIT) and from young donors, that is, those with a higher likelihood of a functional endothelium, early administration of L-Arg improved renal function.ConclusionBoth experimental and clinical data show that L-Arg deficiency and endothelial dysfunction are pathomechanistically relevant in ARF. The data suggest a therapeutic potential for the administration of L-Arg in ARF and kidney transplantation, at least in patients receiving kidneys with shorter CIT and from younger donors.
