Change in Plasma Immunoreactive N-Terminus, C-Terminus, and 4,000-Dalton Midportion of Atrial Natriuretic Factor Prohormone with Hemodialysis

Abstract: Plasma concentrations of the immunoreactive N-terminus, C-terminus and 4,000-dalton midportion of the N-terminus of the atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) prohormone were measured before and after hemodialysis in 13 patients with end-stage renal disease. There was a significant (p < 0.001) fall in the mean plasma concentration of the C-terminus (i.e. ANF, amino acids 99–126 of the prohormone) from 123 ± 25 to 80 ± 22 fmol/ml (mean ± SEM) with dialysis. The whole N-terminus, on the other hand, increased from 9,336… Show more

“…Decreased renal parenchyma functions results with decreased degradation of ANP and BNP and higher circulating concentrations of these peptides than the other diseases associated with intravascular overload [14]. A significant increase in ANP and BNP levels after the treatment was observed in this study between both the same and the different courses of the chemotherapy, compared with the control group.…”

“…The disease state associated with the highest intravascular overload is renal failure because of the reduction of GFR. Plasma levels of ANP and BNP are almost always raised in end stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis and in the late predialysis stage [5,7,14]. Fluid removal by hemofiltration lowers the plasma ANP levels [7].…”

“…Subjects with a creatinine level Ͼ1.5 mg/dL were excluded because vessel dilator increases in the circulation of humans with renal failure. 7,8 Likewise, vessel dilator increases in the circulation of persons with ascites, 9,10 so these subjects were excluded from the present study. None of the patients' prescribed medications were taken the day of the study.…”

“…Although one would also expect both the N-terminus and C-terminus to be released simultaneously -as has been shown previously with other stimuli such as central hypervolemia in healthy volunteers [18] and by rapid ventricular cardiac pacing [28] -it is possible that with less severe abnormalities in sodium retention, only in creased N-terminal concentrations are detected because it accumulates in the circulation and is not degraded as rapidly as ANF (C-terminus). This is what happens in chronic renal failure where the N-terminus with its lon ger half-life accumulates (increases) in the circulation to a disproportionately greater extent than the C-terminus [12,29]. This formulation may explain why the N-terminus but not the C-terminus of the ANF prohormone is increased in the basal state of the cirrhotic individuals studied, i.e., the N-terminus accumulates with mild salt and water abnormalities due to its longer half-life in the circulation.…”
