Kinetics of carboxy-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen in pediatric patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.

چکیده
Carboxy-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PICP) is used as a marker of bone formation and, presumably, also peritoneal fibrosis. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of dialysate PICP level (PICPd) on serum PICP level (PICPs). The study group consisted of 20 patients divided into two groups: group A consisted of 10 children without peritonitis, mean age 13.6 +/- 5 years, 3 on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and 7 on automated peritoneal dialysis (APD); and group B consisted of 10 children with peritonitis (last episode having occurred at least 2 months before the study), mean age 13.9 +/- 2 years, 8 on CAPD and 2 on APD. Osmolarity of the dialysate fluid in groups A and B was similar (375.7 +/- 42 mOsm/L and 363.1 +/- 16 mOsm/L respectively). The PICPs and PICPd levels, PICP index (PICPd/PICPs), PICP peritoneal clearance (ClPICP), and PICP mass transfer (MTPICP) were measured in both groups. Mean PICPs was higher in group B, but the difference was not significant. No significant differences were seen in the mean values of PICPd, PICP index, ClPICP, and MTPICP between groups. Levels of PICPd correlated positively with ClPICP (r = 0.75, p < 0.001) and negatively with MTPICP (r = -0.89, p < 0.0001). No associations were seen between PICPs and PICPd, ClPICP, and MTPICP. No associations were observed between osmolarity and ClPICP and MTPICP. Serum PICP level in children undergoing peritoneal dialysis does not depend on peritoneal PICP level.

Diastolic heart failure: evidence of increased myocardial collagen turnover linked to diastolic dysfunction.
BACKGROUND The pathophysiology of diastolic heart failure (DHF) is poorly understood. One potential explanation is an active fibrotic process that produces increased ventricular stiffness, which compromises filling. The present study investigates collagen metabolism in hypertensive patients in different phases of diastolic function with and without proven DHF. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 8...
متن کاملSerum concentrations of carboxyl-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen, amino-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen, cross-linked carboxyl-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, and their interrelationships in schoolchildren.
We report pediatric age- and sex-specific 95% reference intervals for procollagen type I C-terminal propeptide (PICP), the cross-linked C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP), and procollagen type III N-terminal propeptide (P3NP), measured in plasma from 302 schoolchildren (156 boys, 146 girls) ages 4-19 years. All three markers displayed a significant variation with age (ANOVA P < or...

We investigated whether a relationship exists between circulating transforming growth factor beta -1 (TGF-beta(1)), collagen type I metabolism, microalbuminuria, and left ventricular hypertrophy in essential hypertension and whether the ability of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist losartan to correct microalbuminuria and regress left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensives is relat...
متن کاملPropeptide levels of type III and type I procollagen in the serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis.
No single test is available to reliably assess the activity or prognosis of pulmonary sarcoidosis. In this study, we have evaluated two procollagen markers, aminoterminal propeptide of type III procollagen (PIIINP) and carboxyterminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PICP) in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and compared them to other disease markers of pulmonary sarcoidosis, such...

We have investigated collagen turnover in urogenital tissue in urologically healthy women with (UP patients) and without UP or any history of UP (controls). Markers of collagen turnover, carboxy-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PICP), amino-terminal propeptide of procollagen III (PIIINP...
