| مستخلص: | In a large cohort (no.=361) of NIDDM probands and their concordant/discordant siblings from no.=132 families we studied: 1. the levels of plasma prorenin in non affected siblings of NIDDM probands as opposed to normal subjects without family history of diabetes, and 2. whether plasma prorenin raises in parallel to urinary protein loss in NIDDM patients. Prorenin (solid-phase trypsin) and micro-macroalbuminuria (radioimmunoassay) were evaluated. Plasma prorenin was higher in NIDDM probands and siblings than in non NIDDM siblings (37±31 vs 25±15 ng/ml/h, p<0.0005) who, in turn, showed higher plasma prorenin than non diabetic controls without family history of diabetes (25±15 vs 17±8 ng/ml/h, p<0.005). Plasma prorenin was higher in NIDDM siblings of micro-macroalbuminuric probands than in NIDDM siblings of non micro-macroalbuminuric probands (40±26 vs 29±20 ng/ml/h, mean±SD, p=0.0058) whereas no difference was found among non diabetic siblings (24±14 vs 22±11 ng/ml/h, NS). Our data confirm that plasma prorenin is elevated in NIDDM patients, and show: 1. that the raise of plasma prorenin in non-NlDDM siblings of a diabetic patient does not depend entirely from the presence of diabetes, and 2. that plasma prorenin in NIDDM probands and their concordant siblings goes along with micro-macroalbuminuria. |
