High altitude renal syndrome (HARS).
More than 140 million people live permanently at high altitude (>2400 m) under hypoxic conditions that challenge basic physiology. Here we present a short historical review of the populating of these regions and of evidence for genetic adaptations and environmental factors (such as exposure to cobalt) that may influence the phenotypic responses. We also review some of the common renal physiolog...
متن کاملRenal adrenomedullin and high altitude diuresis.
Previous investigations revealed that most of the fluid regulating hormones showed no consistent relationship to the hypoxic diuretic response (HDR). In this study we examined if adrenomedullin (AM), a hypoxia-mediated diuretic/natriuretic peptide is connected to HDR. Thirty-three persons were examined at low altitude (LA), on the third exposure day at 3440 m (medium altitude, MA) and on the fo...
متن کاملChildren at High Altitude: Pulmonary and Renal Abnormalities
• At elevations above 10,000 feet alveolar hypoxia leads to pulmonary arterial hypertension, arterial hypoxemia, and secondary polycythemia in most persons.' The adjustments of adults to this hypoxic environment have been extensively studied but there is relatively little information pertaining to neonates and young children. The only published catheterization study on young children at high al...
متن کاملVolume Regulation and Renal Function at High Altitude across Gender
AIMS We investigated changes in volume regulating hormones and renal function at high altitudes and across gender. METHODOLOGY Included in this study were 28 subjects (n = 20 males; n = 8 females. ages: 19 - 65 yrs), who ascended to a height of 3440m (HA1), on the 3rd day and to 5050m (HA2), on the 14th day. Plasma and urinary creatinine and urinary osmolality as well as plasma levels of plas...
