Study on lipid absorption in uraemia.

H Sommer, H Kaspar, T Fösel

    Acta Hepato-Gastroenterologica
    |December 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Chronic kidney disease impairs intestinal fatty acid reesterification in rats. However, both rats and humans with chronic kidney disease maintain normal fecal fat excretion, indicating compensatory mechanisms in the small intestine.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Nephrology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Small intestinal alterations are common in chronic uremia.
    • Intestinal lipid utilization in uremia is not well understood.
    • Studies on fat absorption in chronic kidney disease are scarce.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Investigate fecal fat excretion in chronically uremic humans and rats.
    • Analyze the reesterification of long-chain fatty acids in the small intestine of uremic rats.

    Main Methods:

    • Chronic uremia induced in rats via 5/6-nephrectomy.
    • Measurement of 14C-palmitic acid reesterification in rat intestinal mucosa.
    • Analysis of daily fecal fat excretion in rats and 20 uremic patients.

    Main Results:

    • Significantly lower reesterification of palmitic acid in uremic rat intestinal mucosa compared to controls.
    • No significant increase in fecal fat excretion in chronically uremic rats on normal or high-fat diets.
    • Normal fecal fat excretion observed in patients with chronic renal insufficiency.

    Conclusions:

    • Chronic uremia impairs intracellular long-chain fatty acid reesterification in the small intestine.
    • The small intestine exhibits a substantial functional reserve, compensating for impaired reesterification.
    • Fecal fat excretion remains within normal limits in uremic individuals due to compensatory mechanisms.
