Effect of renal function on homeostasis of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA): studies in donors and recipients of renal transplants.

Abstract：

:Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is a methylated form of arginine and an endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitor. Renal function decline is associated with increase of plasma ADMA in chronic kidney disease populations. It is yet unknown how isolated renal function impairment affects ADMA homeostasis in healthy humans. Here, we measured plasma concentrations and urinary excretion of ADMA using GC-MS/MS in 130 living kidney donors before and at 1.6 (1.6-1.9) months after donation. We additionally analyzed 201 stable renal transplant recipients (RTR) that were included > 1 year after transplantation, as a model for kidney disease in the context of single kidney state. We measured true glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) using 125I-iothalamate. To study enzymatic metabolism of ADMA, we also measured L-citrulline as primary metabolite. Mean age was 52 ± 10 years in donors and 54 ± 12 years in RTR. Renal function was significantly reduced from pre- to post-donation (mGFR: 104 ± 17 vs. 66 ± 10 ml/min per 1.73 m2 BSA, - 36 ± 7%, P < 0.001). Urinary ADMA excretion strongly and significantly decreased from pre- to post-donation (60.6 ± 16.0 vs. 40.5 ± 11.5 µmol/24 h, - 31.5 ± 21.5%, P < 0.001), while plasma ADMA increased only slightly (0.53 ± 0.08 vs. 0.58 ± 0.09 µM, 11.1 ± 20.1%, P < 0.001). Compared to donors post-donation, RTR had significantly worse renal function (mGFR: 49 ± 18 ml/min/1.73 m2, - 25 ± 2%, P < 0.001) and lower urinary ADMA excretion (30.9 ± 12.4 µmol/24 h, - 23.9 ± 3.4%, P < 0.001). Plasma ADMA in RTR (0.60 ± 0.11 µM) did not significantly differ from donors post-donation (2.9 ± 1.9%, P = 0.13). Plasma citrulline was inversely associated with mGFR (st. β: - 0.23, P < 0.001), consistent with increased ADMA metabolism to citrulline with lower GFR. In both groups, the response of urinary ADMA excretion to renal function loss was much larger than that of plasma ADMA. As citrulline was associated with GFR, our data indicate that with renal function impairment, a decrease in urinary ADMA excretion does not lead to a corresponding increase in plasma ADMA, likely due to enhanced metabolism, thus allowing for lower renal excretion of ADMA.
