Na+-K+ pump in chronic renal failure.

D Kaji, K Thomas

    The American Journal of Physiology
    |May 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Chronic renal failure (CRF) is linked to a defective sodium-potassium (Na+-K+) pump, leading to elevated intracellular sodium. Dialysis can restore Na+-K+ pump function and reduce sodium levels in CRF patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Cell Physiology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Chronic renal failure (CRF) is associated with cellular abnormalities.
    • Elevated intracellular sodium (Na+) is observed in erythrocytes, leukocytes, and muscle cells of some CRF patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review evidence of Na+-K+ pump defects in CRF.
    • To explore factors contributing to these defects.
    • To discuss clinical implications of altered Na+-K+ pump function.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on Na+-K+ pump function in CRF.
    • Analysis of studies examining intracellular Na+ levels and Na+-K+ pump sites.
    • Discussion of enzymatic activity and transport rates.

    Main Results:

    • Reduced Na+-K+ pump units and activity contribute to elevated intracellular Na+ in CRF.
    • Maintenance dialysis improves Na+-K+ pump function and reduces intracellular Na+.
    • Decreased Na+-K+-ATPase activity is found in various cells of uremic subjects.

    Conclusions:

    • Na+-K+ pump dysfunction is a significant feature of CRF.
    • Factors like uremic toxins, inhibitors, and hormonal changes may cause pump defects.
    • Altered Na+ and K+ transport impacts cellular function and has clinical relevance in CRF.
