The renal hemodynamic response to a meat meal (2 g/kg BW) was studied in 11 healthy children and in 10 children with a mean plasma creatinine concentration of 2.6 ± 0.1 mg/dl due to chronic renal failure (CRF) of various etiologies. In the healthy status, after a meat meal, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) increased significantly from a baseline value of 119.0 ± 5.0 to a peak of 159 ± 5.8 ml/min x 1.73 m2; in CRF baseline GFR averaged 49 ± 4.0 and at peak 76.6 ± 7.2 ml/min x 1.73 m2(p < 0.005). The peak GFR response was reached earlier in healthy subjects than in CRF (p < 0.05) and did not correlate with age or with baseline GFR. Renal plasma flow (RPF) in healthy controls increased from 532 ± 32 at baseline to 646 ± 42.9 ml/min x 1.73 m2after the meat meal (p < 0.005). Also in CRF after a meat meal there was a significant increase in RPF from 278 ± 51 to 65 ± 66 ml/min x 1.73 m2(p < 0.005). The filtration fraction was not affected. The percent increase over baseline values of GFR and RPF at the peak was significantly higher in diseased children. Renal reserve averaged 28.1 ± 5.3 ml/min in diseased children and 39.7 ± 5.2 ml/min (p < 0.01). The data indicate that (1) a meat meal is a suitable method to recruit renal reserve in normal children and in children with chronic renal failure, and (2) the renal reserve is normal in chronic renal failure.

Abstract

The renal hemodynamic response to a meat meal (2 g/kg BW) was studied in 11 healthy children and in 10 children with a mean plasma creatinine concentration of 2.6 ± 0.1 mg/dl due to chronic renal failure (CRF) of various etiologies. In the healthy status, after a meat meal, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) increased significantly from a baseline value of 119.0 ± 5.0 to a peak of 159 ± 5.8 ml/min x 1.73 m2; in CRF baseline GFR averaged 49 ± 4.0 and at peak 76.6 ± 7.2 ml/min x 1.73 m2(p < 0.005). The peak GFR response was reached earlier in healthy subjects than in CRF (p < 0.05) and did not correlate with age or with baseline GFR. Renal plasma flow (RPF) in healthy controls increased from 532 ± 32 at baseline to 646 ± 42.9 ml/min x 1.73 m2after the meat meal (p < 0.005). Also in CRF after a meat meal there was a significant increase in RPF from 278 ± 51 to 65 ± 66 ml/min x 1.73 m2(p < 0.005). The filtration fraction was not affected. The percent increase over baseline values of GFR and RPF at the peak was significantly higher in diseased children. Renal reserve averaged 28.1 ± 5.3 ml/min in diseased children and 39.7 ± 5.2 ml/min (p < 0.01). The data indicate that (1) a meat meal is a suitable method to recruit renal reserve in normal children and in children with chronic renal failure, and (2) the renal reserve is normal in chronic renal failure.
