Effect of extreme prematurity on renal dopamine and norepinephrine excretion during the neonatal period

Abstract: Dopamine (DA), produced in proximal tubular cells, is believed to be an important intrarenal natriuretic hormone. Experimental studies have shown that the natriuretic effect of DA is less pronounced in the fetal kidney. We have evaluated renal DA and norepinephrine (NE) in the neonatal period, using urinary excretion as an indicator of renally produced/released-catecholamines. In very low-birth-weight infants (25-30 weeks gestational age) there was an increase in urinary DA (pmol/mumol urinary creatine) and NE… Show more

“…DA is primarily of renal origin and the postnatal increase of DA excretion may be related to the maturational changes of the human kidney [14]. NE excretion varies from 7% in the neonatal period to 11% at 1-2 years and reflects the general sympatho-adrenal activity.…”

“…The excretion of dopamine is higher in the pediatric population than in elderly subjects [190]. However, urinary dopamine increases postnatally in very low birth weight infants [191, 192]. In rats, intrarenal levels of dopamine have a tendency to increase between 3 and 20 days after birth, but significantly decrease between 20 to 80 days after birth [193].…”

“…Από τις κατεχολαμίνες, η ντοπαμίνη αποτελεί μια σημαντική πρόδρομη ουσία για το σχηματισμό της αδρεναλίνης κα της νοραδρεναλίνης, πρόσφατα όμως μελετήθηκε ο ρόλος της ως σημαντική ενδονεφρική ορμόνη 26 . Η ενδονεφρική παραγωγή της ντοπαμίνης προέρχεται από την ενδονεφρική μετατροπή της L Dopa σε ντοπαμίνη στα εγγύς σωληναριακά κύτταρα, ενώ σε ένα μικρό ποσοστό προέρχεται από τα ντοπαμινεργικά νεύρα.…”
