Abstract:
:Increased plasma levels of neuropeptide Y (NPY)-like immunoreactivity (p-NPY-LI) have been described in hemodialysis (HD) patients. In this investigation the effect of a standard HD on p-NPY-LI, analyzed by radioimmunoassay and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), was studied. During dialysis p-NPY-LI increased from 128 +/- 5 to 154 +/- 8 pmol/l (p < 0.01). The change in p-NPY-LI during the treatment correlated with the ultrafiltration volume (rs = +0.72, p < 0.05). The HPLC separation revealed a complex pattern of NPY-immunoreactive peptides. This was true of the plasma of the control subjects as well as of the uremic plasma. In the case of the controls and the HD patients prior to dialysis, the amount of NPY-LI was rather small. After the dialysis qualitative as well as quantitative changes of the chromatogram were found. Some of the peaks seemed to have a retention time similar to that of the known fragments of synthetic human NPY used as markers. In conclusion, an increase in p-NPY-LI occurred during the dialysis, probably due to fluid removal. The increased level of NPY-LI in uremic plasma represents a mixture of different NPY fragments.
