  • Title: The excretional patterns of lactate, pyruvate and alpha-ketoglutarate in renal transplants.
    Author: Hansen HE, Skov PE.
    Journal: Acta Med Scand; 1978; 203(3):187-9. PubMed ID: 345753.
    Abstract:
    The excretional patterns of lactate, pyruvate and alpha-ketoglutarate were investigated after renal transplantation in 36 patients. Fourteen patients had received a living-donor kidney with short ischemia time and good initial graft function, 22 had a cadaver transplant with an initial 125iothalamate clearance of more than 6 ml/min. The excretion of lactate and pyruvate did not vary significantly from that seen in normal controls or patients with uremia. In six patients with cadaver transplants, clearance values of alpha-ketoglutarate exceeded that of the glomerular filtration rate, indicating a net tubular secretion of this substance. During acute rejection episodes in 5 patients, no changes were seen in the excretional patterns of lactate, pyruvate and alpha-ketoglutarate.
