Abstract

Hippurate function scintiscans were obtained in prone and standing positions in a group of 76 patients with concurrent hypertension and nephroptosis. TWelve of these patients had massive, bilateral disturbance of intrarenal hippurate transport in the standing position; hippurate transport was normal in the prone position. This pattern was present in only three of 120 normotensive patients with nephroptosis. To investigate the importance of nephroptosis, 87 other hypertensive patients were examined. Eighteen of these patients demonstrated posture-dependent tubular dysfunction, but only four had nephroptosis. The results suggest a direct relationship between bilateral posture-dependent tubular dysfunction and hypertension.

Toluene in blood as a marker of choice for low-level exposure to toluene.

The validity of two new biological exposure markers of toluene in blood (TOL-B) and toluene in urine (TOL-U) was examined in comparison with that of the traditional marker of hippuric acid in urine (HA-U) in 294 male workers exposed to toluene in workroom air (TOL-A), mostly at low levels. The exposure was such that the geometric mean for toluene was 2.3 ppm with a maximum of 132 ppm; the workers were also exposed to other solvents such as hexane, ethyl acetate, styrene, and methanol, but at lower levels. The chance of cutaneous absorption was remote. Higher correlation with TOL-A and better sensitivity in separating the exposed workers from the nonexposed subjects were taken as selection criteria. When workers exposed to TOL-A at lower concentrations (< 50 ppm, < 10 ppm, < 2 ppm, etc.) were selected with correlation with TOL-A was examined, TOL-B showed the largest correlation coefficient which was significant even at TOL-A of < 1 ppm, whereas correlation of HA-U was no longer significant when TOL-A was < 10 ppm. TOL-U was between the two extremes. The sensitivities of TOL-B and TOL-U were comparable; HA-U showed the lowest sensitivity. Thus, it was concluded that TOL-B is the indicator of choice for detecting toluene exposure at low levels.

Serum hippurate and its excretion in conservatively treated and dialysed patients with chronic renal failure.

54 healthy volunteers or patients with normal kidney and liver function, 17 patients with decreased kidney function and 12 dialysed patients were evaluated for their serum hippurate accumulation and kidney excretion. It was found that there was an inverse relationship between serum hippurate and the clearance of endogenous creatinine (CCr) and a free relationship between fractional excretion of hippurate and CCr. The excretory capacity in residual nephrons was increased. This was caused by the greater glomerular filtration load which increased up to 25 times and tubular secretion which increased 7 times in dialysed patients. The relative contribution of glomerular filtration to hippurate excretion rose from about 20% in controls to almost 50% in dialysed patients. True kidney adaptation was localized in the organic anion transport system of proximal tubules.
