Parathyroid hormone (PTH) immunoradiometric assays (IRMA) exhibit cross-reactivity between 1-84 PTH and long carboxyl-terminal-PTH (C-PTH) molecules. C-PTH antagonizes the biological actions of 1-84 PTH and circulates in excess in chronic renal failure (CRF), partially explaining why supra-physiological PTH levels are recommended to maintain bone turnover. Furthermore, the ratio 1-84 PTH/C-PTH may be related to bone turnover. This study characterizes the 1-84 PTH/C-PTH ratio in children with varying severity of CRF and levels of PTH. Two hundred and forty-one children with CRF, managed with the aim of preventing the development of hyperparathyroidism, had PTH measured by intact IRMA and a new more specific Cyclase-Activating-PTH (CAP) IRMA. C-PTH levels were calculated by subtracting CAP-IRMA from intact IRMA. Fifty-three controls with normal renal function were also recruited. Mean intact IRMA correlated with CAP-IRMA (r=0.98), but was higher (P<0.001). The mean 1-84 PTH/C-PTH ratio was lower than controls in dialysis patients (P=0.022) and those with a glomerular filtration rate <30 ml/min per m2 (P=0.033). This ratio was comparable to controls when the PTH level was normal, but was lower with PTH levels outside the normal range (P<0.01). These data suggest that CAP-IRMA gives a more accurate assessment of actual PTH levels than intact IRMA in CRF. Maintenance of normal PTH levels throughout the course of CRF permits the maintenance of a normal 1-84 PTH/C-PTH ratio, the clinical significance of which requires further investigation in children. 相似文献

Sera from 20 anemic patients with chronic renal failure (CFR) were studied for their effect on bone marrow in vitro erythroid colony formation (CFUE) and the observations correlated with parathyroid hormone (PTH) and ionized calcium levels in the patients' sera. Results demonstrated that 17 out of 20 patients' sera significantly inhibited in vitro erythropoiesis by 47% to 97%. No significant elevation in ionized calcium was found in 16 of the patients tested. Furthermore, assay of PTH levels in these patients revealed that 9 out of 20 had elevated levels of PTH. No correlation was found between PTH serum levels and the degree of in vitro inhibition of erythropoiesis (CFUE) by the patients' sera. Addition of up to 2,000 pg/mL (far above the patients' levels) of exogenous N-terminal or C-terminal PTH with in vitro bone marrow cultures resulted in no inhibitory effect on CFUE. It is concluded that the circulating inhibitor of erythropoiesis which has been shown to exist in the sera of this particular group of patients with CRF, is not PTH. 相似文献

A case of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1) with a clinical manifestation of pyonephrosis is reported. A 47-year-old woman with a 14-year history of renal stones was initially seen with pyonephrosis. The patient was found to have elevated serum levels of parathyroid hormone and growth hormone. Radiologic examinations demonstrated an ectopic parathyroid tumor and a pituitary tumor. She was diagnosed as having MEN 1. 相似文献

Patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) have a high incidence of malignant tumours. Uremia thus induces a remarkable suppression of immune status. In this study, we report that within the last 20 years, 188 (6.7%) various organ tumours were found in 2817 CRF patients that were hospitalised and treated. 69 (36.7%) of 188 patients with various organ tumours were on hemodialysis and the rest (63.3%) were CRF without hemodialysis. 49 (71%) of the 69 patients with hemodialysis were diagnosed with tumours in the first year of the hemodialysis therapy. In 110 (84%) of 119 CRF patients tumours were detected in less than 10 years after diagnosis of CRF. Localisation of the tumours were: 39 (19%) urologic malignancy, 30 (16%) parathyroid adenoma, 28 (15%) skin malignancy, 19 (10%) gynaecologic malignancy, 18 (9.5%) gastrointestinal tract (GIT) malignancy, 17 (9%) lung malignancy, 17 (9%) larynx malignancy, 13 (7%) thyroid malignancy, 5 (2.6%) multiple myeloma and 5 (2.6%) malignant lymphoma. No patients in the series had received a transplant kidney or were therapeutically immunosuppressed for other reasons and obstructive uropathy. CRF patients have a several times greater risk of developing malignant tumour than the general population. 相似文献

Calciphylaxis is a rare, but life-threatening complication of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) that has been reported mostly in adult patients. The exact etiology is unknown, but the disease is commonly associated with a high calcium-phosphorus product and elevated levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH). We herein review the published reports on calciphylaxis in ESRD patients less than 18 years old and report the case of a patient with severe calciphylaxis who presented with lower extremity pain, muscle tenderness and difficulty in walking. The serum PTH was low, and the calcium-phosphorus product was normal. The diagnosis of calciphylaxis was confirmed by a muscle biopsy. Treatment with low calcium peritoneal dialysate and substitution of calcium-based phosphorus binders with sevelamer (Renagel) was unsuccessful. The patients clinical condition progressed to extensive soft tissue calcification and ulcerating skin lesions. Nine months after the onset of symptoms, the patient died of cardiopulmonary arrest. 相似文献

Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) has been widely used to improve growth in children with chronic renal failure (CRF).
However, there has been great concern that GH may aggravate renal disease and hasten the progression to end-stage renal failure.
We therefore investigated the effect of prolonged administration of rhGH at various doses on somatic growth and renal function
and structure in rats with CRF, divided into four groups based on rhGH dose (vehicle, 0.4, 2.0, and 10.0 IU/day). rhGH was
administered subcutaneously daily for 8 weeks. The mean growth was significantly greater in rats treated with high-dose rhGH
(10.0 IU) than those treated with low-dose rhGH (P = 0.0089) or vehicle (P = 0.0011). Body weight gain increased in parallel with body length (Creatinine clearance at the end of the experiment was
significantly lower in rats on high or medium-dose rhGH than those on low-dose rhGH and controls (P <0.05). The glomerular sclerosing index was greater in rats treated with higher doses of rhGH. There were significant differences
between rats treated with high-dose rhGH and controls (P = 0.0144) and also between rats on medium-dose rhGH and controls (P = 0.0065). Although there was no significant difference, rats treated with higher doses of rhGH tended to excrete more protein.
Renal insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) content and circulating IGF-I and IGF-II levels did not significantly differ among
groups. We conclude that: (1) GH improves somatic growth failure in rats with CRF, but prolonged administration of GH dose-dependently
induces deterioration in renal function and structure and (2) this effect was induced neither via circulating IGF-I and IGF-II
nor by local production of IGF-I, but seems to be direct.

Chronic renal failure due to lymphomatous infiltration is rare. We report a case of endstage renal failure due to bilateral massive lymphomatous infiltration confined to the kidneys and pancreas. Renal insufficiency was due to interstitial fibrosis and striking tubular atrophy. 相似文献

Growth hormone (GH) has different known metabolic effects, among which are lipolysis and anabolic action. We have studied the changes in body composition of children with chronic renal failure (CRF) after 1 year of daily treatment with GH. Body fat percentage and fat body mass (FBM) were derived from four site skinfold measurements; lean body mass (LBM) from total body potassium (TBK) and mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC); bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual photon absorptiometry. GH treatment had a positive effect on weight, heigt and MAMC, but no effect on LBM (as reflected by TBK), FBM and BMD. Z-scores were derived in order to compare subjects with a normal population. While no significant change in z-score was noticed for weight, height, MAMC, FBM and BMD, TBK decreased during treatment. We conclude that GH therapy does not ultimately increase LBM in CRF patients compared with other GH-treated groups. 相似文献

A 6-month protocol of oral pulse calcitriol was used in nine uraemic children (2–14 years old) on dialysis who presented with renal osteodystrophy. Calcitriol was administered twice a week, 4 g per dose for patients over 30 kg and 3g for patients less than 30 kg. Plasma levels of parathyroid hormone, calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase were carefully controlled during the study. Parathyroid hormone levels decreased by 68% and 56% by the 2nd and 6th months of treatment in seven patients, while they remained unchanged in two patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and massive proteinuria. Eight hypercalcaemic episodes from 77 determinations were observed, all of them recovered after 1 week of vitamin D withdrawal. We conclude that oral calcitriol pulse therapy is a good alternative for renal osteodystrophy in uraemic children. Careful monitoring of plasma parathyroid hormone and calcium is needed during follow-up when using this approach in paediatric patients. 相似文献

Introduction: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the development of multiple
endocrine adenomas, typically in the pancreas, anterior pituitary, and parathyroid glands. The disease is associated with
germ-line mutations of the menin gene, a putative tumor-suppressor gene located on human chromosome 11q13. Methods: To facilitate the diagnosis and prediction of MEN1 in patients and their relatives, we developed a molecular two-step strategy
to screen for menin gene mutations. DNA fragments covering the entire menin coding sequence are generated from patient cDNA
by polymerase reaction (PCR) and subsequently analyzed by single-strand conformational polymorphism electrophoresis (SSCP).
Fragments with aberrant SSCP migration are DNA-sequenced to directly characterize menin mutations. In a second diagnostic
step, genomic DNA of healthy relatives of the corresponding MEN1 index patient is analyzed by PCR, with only the specific
exon amplified harboring the family-specific mutation. Mutation-specific restriction enzyme digestion of this PCR product
finally allows the identification of mutation carriers through pathological restriction fragment patterns. Results: Using this approach, we identified an in-frame deletion mutation (Δ Tyr Met) located in menin exon 4 (codon 227 – 228) that
co-segregates with the disease phenotype in a large MEN1 family from Southern Germany. Conclusion: It is likely that the direct molecular analysis of menin gene mutations will replace the genetic and biochemical screening
tests currently used in the clinical management of MEN1 families. In addition, these studies may provide clues to the tumor
biology of both sporadic and MEN1-associated endocrine adenomas.

Chronic renal failure in children is associated with growth failure. While the pathogenesis of uremic growth failure is multifactorial, an abnormal growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor (GH-IGF) axis is an important contributory element. Patients with uremia exhibit insensivivity to the action of GH, as exemplified by high plasma GH levels, low IGF-I activity, and poor somatic growth. This insensitivity can be overcome by supraphysiological doses of exogenous GH. Plasma GH binding protein (GHBP, the circulating ectodomain of the GH receptor) levels are decreased in patients with renal failure, as are hepatic GH receptor levels in animal models. Since GHBP levels are thought to reflect GH receptor levels in tissues, it is likely that the uremic GH insensitivity in humans is mediated by a decreased number of GH receptors. Another implication of the low plasma GHBP is a disproportionate elevation of free plasma GH (the biologically active moiety) relative to total GH, lending additional support to the concept of GH insensitivity in uremia. GH kinetics are altered in renal failure because of: (1) inability to excrete GH and (2) changes in the bound fraction of GH in the circulation. 相似文献

We studied all children with CRF who received recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) for more than a year (mean±SD duration of therapy 3.7±2.5 years) over an 11-year period. There were 32 children. Twenty-one children were conservatively managed, with a mean glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 24±12 mL min–1/1.73 m2 at the start of rhGH. Their height standard deviation score improved from –2.5±1.4 to –2.1±0.7 at 1 year (P=0.3), –2.0±0.7 at 2 years (P=0.01), and –1.6±0.6 at 3 years (P=0.001). After that there was no improvement. Eleven children were on dialysis, six on haemodialysis (HD) and five on peritoneal (PD). Ht SDS improved from –2.7±0.5 to –2.3±0.5 at 1 year (P=0.02). Thereafter there was no further improvement. RhGH was stopped because of transplantation in 29 patients at a mean±SD age of 12.1±4.0 years. Mean Ht SDS was –1.8±0.8 at transplant and there was no change over the following 5 years. In conclusion, treatment with rhGH resulted in improvement in Ht SDS in conservatively managed CRF for up to 3.0 years and for 1 year in children on dialysis. Discontinuation of rhGH after transplantation resulted in little change in Ht SDS. 相似文献

Recombinant human growth hormone treatment of children with chronic renal failure: long-term (1- to 3-year) outcome 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Treatment of nine boys, aged 2.8–16.3 years, with growth retardation consequent to chronic renal failure (CRF), with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) for 12–36 months demonstrated a significant improvement in growth velocity at each 12-month interval compared with that achieved the year prior to treatment. Despite the acceleration in growth velocity the bone age did not increase more than the increase in chronological age during the period of treatment. The mean calculated creatinine clearance did not decrease significantly during the 36 months of treatment; however, two patients required institution of dialysis at 18 and 30 months following the initiation of rhGH treatment. There was no exacerbation of the glucose intolerance of uremia following rhGH treatment. Currently, six of seven patients who have been treated for more than 24 months have achieved sufficient acceleration of growth velocity to attain a standard deviation score that was more positive than –2.00, and are above the 5th per centile for chronological age on the growth curve. These data indicate that rhGH treatment of growthretarded children with CRF results in accelerated growth velocity during the 2nd and 3rd years of treatment, and demonstrate the potential for such children to achieve normal stature for chronological age despite the continued presence of renal failure. 相似文献

Summary To study the effect of the kidney on blood calcitonin (CT), rats were made uremic by either total or partial nephrectomy or
bilateral ligation of the ureters. Plasma CT concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay before and after calcium infusion.
Uremia induced by total or partial nephrectomy produced an increase in plasma CT. Rats had higher plasma CT levels (49.3±1.7
pg/ml, mean ±SE) after total nephrectomy than after ureteral ligation (30.9±1.5 pg/ml) even though no significant difference
was observed between the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels of these two groups. These results indicate that the kidney contributes
to the degradation of CT. 相似文献

The etiology of chronic renal failure (CRF) was studied in 459 Turkish children (205 girls, 254 boys) for the period January 1979-December 1993. Their mean age at onset of CRF was 9.5±4.2 years (range 1–16 years); CRF was defined as a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) below 50 ml/min per 1.73 m2 for at least 6 months. When a GFR determination was not available, the serum creatinine concentration was used: greater than 1 mg/dl for children aged 1–3 years, greater than 1.5 mg/dl for those 3–10 years and greater than 2 mg/dl for those 10–16 years. Primary renal disorders were as follows: reflux nephropathy 32.4% glomerular diseases 22.2%, hereditary renal disorders 11.4%, amyloidosis 10.6%, urinary stones 8% and other renal disorders 15.4%. Twenty-three cases of reflux nephropathy (15.4%) were associated with neural tube defects (NTD) and 20 (13.4%) were caused by infravesical obstruction. CRF caused vesicoureteral reflux associated with NTD and amyloidosis are more frequent in our series compared with west European and Nordic countries. 相似文献
