The relations between renal hemodynamics (Inutest, CPAH) and sodium excretion were studied in 7 nondiabetics in whom a similar expansion was induced (1) with a 3-hour 5% glucose infusion and (2) with a 0.9% saline load. With both infusions the body weight increased, hematocrit fell, and the plasma renin activity was suppressed. During glucose infusion, blood glucose rose from 3.9 mmol/l to a plateau of around 13 mmol/l; glycosuria was absent during the 1st h, then appeared and stabilized during the following 2h. Glucose infusion caused a progressive increase in glomerular filtration rate and in renal blood flow in both absence and presence of glycosuria, without significant changes in sodium excretion despite volume expansion and increase of filtered sodium load. When saline was infused, there was a sustained increase of fractional sodium excretion, and no hemodynamic modifications were observed. We suggest that a primary glucose-induced metabolic stimulation of sodium reabsorption may play a role in the genesis of glucose-induced hyperfiltration.

Sodium-dependent glucose transporter 2 inhibitors improve heart function in patients with type 2 diabetes and heart failure.

This article discusses the study by Grubić Rotkvić on the mechanisms of action of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and heart failure (HF). T2DM and HF are highly comorbid, with a significantly increased prevalence of HF in patients with T2DM. SGLT2i exhibit potential in reducing hospitalization rates for HF and cardiovascular mortality through multiple mechanisms, including improving blood glucose control, promoting urinary sodium excretion, reducing sympathetic nervous system activity, lowering both preload and afterload on the heart, alleviating inflammation and oxidative stress, enhancing endothelial function, improving myocardial energy metabolism, and stabilizing cardiac ion homeostasis.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors represent a cutting-edge class of oral antidiabetic therapeutics that operate through selective inhibition of glucose reabsorption in proximal renal tubules, consequently augmenting urinary glucose excretion and attenuating blood glucose levels. Extensive clinical investigations have demonstrated their profound cardiovascular efficacy. Parallel basic science research has elucidated the mechanistic pathways through which diverse SGLT-2 inhibitors beneficially modulate pulmonary vascular cells and arterial remodeling.

Background: A 12-month cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) demonstrated the effectiveness of an application-based education program in reducing the salt intake and systolic blood pressure (SBP) of schoolchildren's adult family members. This study aimed to assess whether the effect at 12 months persisted at 24 months.
Methods: Fifty-four schools were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group.

Renal tubular acidoses (RTAs) are a subset of non-anion gap metabolic acidoses that result from complex disturbances in renal acid excretion. Net acid excretion is primarily accomplished through the reclamation of sodium bicarbonate and the buffering of secreted protons with ammonia or dibasic phosphate, all of which require a series of highly complex and coordinated processes along the renal tubule. Flaws in any of these components lead to the development of metabolic acidosis and/or a failure to compensate fully for other systemic acidoses.

In most patients with type 1 xanthinuria caused by mutations in the xanthine dehydrogenase gene (XDH), no clinical complications, except for urinary stones, are observed. In contrast, all Xdh(- / -) mice die due to renal failure before reaching adulthood at 8 weeks of age. Hypoxanthine or xanthine levels become excessive and thus toxic in Xdh(- / -) mice because enhancing the activity of hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT), which is an enzyme that uses hypoxanthine as a substrate, slightly increases the life span of these mice.
