Abstract:Guanidino compounds such as dimethylarginines (SDMA, ADMA) and L-homoarginine ((L-)hArg) can interfere with bioavailability and function of the main NO-donor L-arginine (L-Arg). High ADMA and SDMA but low L-hArg concentrations have been associated with cardio- and cerebrovascular events and mortality in adults. The role of guanidino compounds in paediatric patients remains less clear. We, therefore, compared guanidino compound levels in plasma samples of 57 individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and 141… Show more
