ABSTRACT
Hypotheses regarding the pathogenesis of volume-dependent hypertension have invoked an endogenous sodium pump inhibitor or digitalis-like factor (DLF) to link altered sodium homeostasis to the rise in blood pressure. Our goal was to develop a clinical protocol that achieved predictable, sustained volume expansion, with the premise that renal failure patients on peritoneal dialysis would increase intravascular volume, gain weight, and raise blood pressure (BP) in relation to measured increases in DLF. In a 5-day protocol, dialysis was kept constant but dietary NaCl and fluids were modified in 7 patients. DLF was measured as inhibition of [Na,K]ATPase. Likewise, the first 2 L of daily peritoneal dialysate (PD) was processed on HPLC and the eluate analyzed for DLF. The group achieved significant weight gain (WT) by day 3 (delta WT = 4.1 +/- 1.2 kg, P < .05). Likewise, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and plasma DLF activity increased significantly. All variables were highly correlated (DLF v WT R = 0.88, P = .004; MAP v DLF R = 0.82, P = .01; MAP v WT R = 0.90, P = .003). Although a number of HPLC fractions contained agents that interacted with the assay, only one PD HPLC fraction (at 19.5 min) contained DLF activity that correlated with changes in MAP (R = 0.60, P = .002), and body weight (R = 0.67, P = .0003). We conclude that candidate DLF responds to sustained volume expansion and the relationship suggests that it could influence blood pressure. Moreover, the application of stringent criteria to the confusing array of factors in plasma that may affect assays for DLF appears to reduce the field dramatically, to a single candidate in this setting.
