Carbohydrate metabolism in renal failure.

J Fröhlich, P Schollmeyer, W Gerok

    The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
    |September 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Patients with renal failure often experience hyperglycemia and impaired glucose tolerance due to peripheral insulin insensitivity. This resistance is linked to increased hepatic glucose output and reduced glucose utilization, possibly driven by hormonal imbalances.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Endocrinology
    • Metabolic Medicine

    Background:

    • Renal failure is associated with hyperglycemia and impaired glucose tolerance.
    • Patients exhibit an elevated insulin to glucose ratio during glucose tolerance tests, suggesting peripheral insulin insensitivity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the underlying mechanisms of carbohydrate metabolism disturbances in renal failure.
    • To identify factors contributing to insulin resistance in uremia.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of glucose tolerance tests in renal failure patients.
    • Evaluation of cellular glucose utilization and hepatic glucose production.
    • Assessment of hormonal, electrolyte, pH, and metabolic intermediate influences.

    Main Results:

    • Reduced peripheral glucose utilization and increased hepatic glucose output (gluconeogenesis) are observed.
    • Elevated levels of insulin-antagonistic hormones, including growth hormone, catecholamines, and glucagon, are implicated.
    • No single hormone definitively correlates with glucose intolerance, but their combined effect suggests significant insulin antagonism.

    Conclusions:

    • Carbohydrate metabolism alterations in renal failure stem from cellular-level disturbances.
    • A complex interplay of hormonal factors, particularly insulin-antagonistic hormones, leads to apparent insulin resistance in uremia.
