Endogenous renal clearance rates of free amino acids in prolinuric and Hartnup patients.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Endogenous renal clearance rates of free amino acids were determined by use of automatic amino acid analyzer on ten control children, two patients with prolinuria and a Hartnup patient. Prolinuric patients showed markedly high rates in the proline and glycine clearance and almost normal clearance rates in the other amino acids. In a Hartnup patient, the clearance rates of monoamino-monocarboxylic amino acids were found to be highly elevated.

BACKGROUND Celiac disease (CD) is a complex autoimmune disorder that can lead to an inflammatory small intestinal villous atrophy and malabsorption. Hartnup disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by increased urinary excretion of neutral amino acids. Co-occurrence of Hartnup disease and CD is extremely rare with only a single case reported. CASE PRESENTATION We report a 3-year girl...
متن کاملTransport of dibasic amino acids, cystine, and tryptophan by cultured human fibroblasts: absence of a defect in cystinuria and Hartnup disease.
Transport of lysine, arginine, cystine, and tryptophan was studied in cultured skin fibroblasts from normal controls and from patients with cystinuria and Hartnup disease. Each of these amino acids was accumulated against concentration gradients by energy-dependent, saturable mechanisms. Lysine and arginine were each transported by two distinct processes which they shared with each other and wi...
متن کاملAminoaciduria and altered renal expression of luminal amino acid transporters in mice lacking novel gene collectrin.
Defects in renal proximal tubule transport manifest in a number of human diseases. Although variable in clinical presentation, disorders such as Hartnup disease, Dent's disease, and Fanconi syndrome are characterized by wasting of solutes commonly recovered by the proximal tubule. One common feature of these disorders is aminoaciduria. There are distinct classes of amino acid transporters locat...
متن کاملClinical and biochemical observations in two cases of hartnup disease.
Hartnup disease, first described by Baron, Dent, Harris, Hart, and Jepson (1956), is characterized by a photosensitive pellagra-like rash, cerebellar ataxia, generalized renal aminoaciduria, hyperindoluria, and hypertryptophanuria. Nemeth and Nachmias (1958) suggested that in this disorder there might be a deficiency of tryptophan pyrrolase, the enzyme that catalyses tryptophan to formylkynuren...
متن کاملNeutral amino acid transport in epithelial cells and its malfunction in Hartnup disorder.
Hartnup disorder is an autosomal recessive abnormality of renal and gastrointestinal neutral amino acid transport. A corresponding transport activity has been characterized in kidney and intestinal cells and named system B(0). The failure to resorb amino acids in this disorder is thought to be compensated by a protein-rich diet. However, in combination with a poor diet and other factors, more s...
