| Abstrakt: | Abstract: The urinary excretion and serum concentration of amino acids were studied in 62 healthy individuals aged 15 to 70 years. In elderly subjects (61-70 years), it was found that renal amino acid clearance per 100 ml GFR (fractional excretion, FE) rose significantly in the following amino acids: CYS, VÁL, MET, ILE and LEU. Since the serum concentrations of these amino acids showed no significant changes, but the GFR was reduced, it can be concluded that the raised FE of these amino acids was due to a decrease in their effective tubular reabsorption. A significant correlation was found between FENa and FE of most amino acids including those mentioned above. The findings support the assumption that changes in tubular Na+ transport probably participate in the changes of tubular amino acid transport in elderly individuals. |
