          Abstract

          Metabolic syndrome (MS) as a risk factor for contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) has not been studied. The aim of the present study was to assess the influence of MS on the development of CIN in patients undergoing coronary angiography.

            The metabolic syndrome is associated with advanced vascular damage in patients with coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral arterial disease or abdominal aortic aneurysm.

            Ton Rabelink, Jobien Olijhoek, Ale Algra … (2004)
            The metabolic syndrome is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in patients without a cardiovascular history. We investigated whether the metabolic syndrome is related to the extent of vascular damage in patients with various manifestations of vascular disease. The study population of this cross-sectional survey consisted of 502 patients recently diagnosed with coronary heart disease (CHD), 236 with stroke, 218 with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and 89 with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed according to Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. Carotid Intima Media Thickness (IMT), Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) and albuminuria were used as non-invasive markers of vascular damage and adjusted for age and sex if appropriate. The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in the study population was 45%. In PAD patients this was 57%; in CHD patients 40%, in stroke patients 43% and in AAA patients 45%. Patients with the metabolic syndrome had an increased mean IMT (0.98 vs 0.92mm, P-value <0.01), more often a decreased ABPI (14% vs 10%, P-value 0.06) and increased prevalence of albuminuria (20% vs 15%, P-value 0.03) compared to patients without this syndrome. An increase in the number of components of the metabolic syndrome was associated with an increase in mean IMT (P-value for trend <0.001), lower ABPI (P-value for trend <0.01) and higher prevalence albuminuria (P-value for trend <0.01). In patients with manifest vascular disease the presence of the metabolic syndrome is associated with advanced vascular damage.

              Uric acid and the state of the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system in humans.

              Naomi D L Fisher, Olga Gumieniak, Todd S. Perlstein … (2004)
              Experimental hyperuricemia is marked by an activated intrarenal renin-angiotensin system (RAS). The renal vascular response to exogenous angiotensin II (Ang II) provides an indirect measure of intrarenal RAS activity. We tested the hypothesis that the serum uric acid concentration predicts the renal vascular response to Ang II. A total of 249 subjects in high sodium balance had the renal plasma flow (RPF) response to Ang II measured. Para-aminohippuric acid (PAH) clearance was used to estimate RPF. Multivariable regression analysis determined if the serum uric acid concentration independently predicts the RPF response to Ang II. Variables considered included age, gender, race, body mass index (BMI), hypertension status, blood pressure, basal RPF, creatinine clearance, serum insulin, serum glucose, serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL), serum triglycerides, and plasma renin activity (PRA). Uric acid concentration negatively correlated with the RPF response to Ang II (r=-0.37, P < 0.001). In univariate analysis, age, BMI, hypertension, triglycerides, and blood pressure were negatively associated, and basal RPF, HDL, and female gender were positively associated with the RPF response to Ang II. In multivariable analysis, serum uric acid concentration independently predicted the RPF response to Ang II (beta=-5.3, P < 0.001). Serum uric acid independently predicted blunted renal vascular responsiveness to Ang II, consistent with results from experimental hyperuricemia showing an activated intrarenal RAS. This could be due to a direct effect of uric acid or reflect a more fundamental renal process. These data may have relevance to the association of uric acid with risk for hypertension and nephropathy.
