摘要
Acute clamped hyperglycaemia activates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and increases the urinary excretion of inflammatory cytokines/chemokines in patients with uncomplicated type 1 diabetes mellitus. Our objective was to determine whether blockade of the RAAS would blunt the effect of acute hyperglycaemia on urinary cytokine/chemokine excretion, thereby giving insights into potentially protective effects of these agents prior to the onset of clinical nephropathy. Blood pressure, renal haemodynamic inulin and para-aminohippurate clearances) and urinary cytokines/chemokines were measured after 6 h of clamped euglycaemia (4-6 mmol/l) and hyperglycaemia (9-11 mmol/l) on two consecutive days in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (n = 27) without overt nephropathy. Measurements were repeated after treatment with aliskiren (300 mg daily) for 30 days. Before aliskiren, clamped hyperglycaemia increased filtration fraction (from 0.188 +/- 0.007 to 0.206 +/- 0.007, p = 0.003) and urinary fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2), IFN-alpha 2 and macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC) (p < 0.005). After aliskiren, the filtration fraction response to hyperglycaemia was abolished, resulting in a lower filtration fraction after aliskiren under clamped hyperglycaemic conditions (p = 0.004), and none of the biomarkers increased in response to hyperglycaemia. Aliskiren therapy also reduced levels of urinary eotaxin, FGF2, IFN-alpha 2, IL-2 and MDC during clamped hyperglycaemia (p < 0.005). The increased urinary excretion of inflammatory cytokines/chemokines in response to acute hyperglycaemia is blunted by RAAS blockade in humans with uncomplicated type 1 diabetes mellitus.
