Abstract:
:Previous studies from our laboratory have demonstrated that metabolic clearance rate (MCR) of calcitriol is decreased in experimental renal failure. In this experiment, we examined the effects of calcitriol, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (24,25(OH)2D3) on the MCR of calcitriol in renal failure produced in rats by partial nephrectomy. The MCR of calcitriol in these rats with renal failure was significantly lower than in control rats with sham operations. Plasma concentrations of calcitriol did not differ between the rats with moderate renal failure and control rats (sham, 74.7 +/- 3.6 pg/ml, N = 7; renal failure, 67.7 +/- 6.0, N = 6; serum creatinine 0.56 +/- 0.02 mg/dl vs. 0.96 +/- 0.02); however, the levels were significantly lower in rats with severe renal failure (sham, 66.5 +/- 5.1 pg/ml, N = 7, severe renal failure, 49.6 +/- 2.1 pg/ml, N = 8; serum creatinine 0.53 +/- 0.01 mg/dl vs. 1.40 +/- 0.03). Subcutaneous infusion of calcitriol (10 ng/kg/day) in rats with severe renal failure for one week significantly increased the MCR of calcitriol (0.22 +/- .01 vs. 0.17 +/- .01 ml/min/kg, P less than 0.001). Infusion of 25(OH)D3 (600 ng/day) or 24,25(OH)2D3 (1 microgram/day) in rats with renal failure for one week also increased the MCR of calcitriol (25(OH)D3, 0.25 +/- 0.01 ml/min/kg; 24,25(OH)2D3, 0.25 +/- 0.01, both P less than 0.001) when compared to rats with renal failure infused with vehicle (0.21 +/- 0.01). Administration of 24,25(OH)2D3 significantly lowered the plasma levels of calcitriol in rats with renal failure (52.3 +/- 3.1 pg/ml, P less than 0.05) in comparison to the rats with renal failure infused with vehicle (67.7 +/- 6.0).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
