Summary. The natriuretic peptide family (ANP, BNP, CNP) is responsible for the body fluid homeostasis and blood pressure control. ANP and BNP act on guanylate cyclase-A and CNP on guanylate cyclase-B receptors.The main renal actions of ANP are: 1. direct and indirect effects on the kidney to alter renal hemodynamics, and to increase fluid and electrolyte excretion; 2. functional antagonism of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (R-A-A) by inhibiting synthesis and/or relase of renin and aldosterone, and by antagonising all known effects of angiotensin. ANP increases single nephron GFR in proportion of total GFR due mainly to an increase in glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure that results from efferent arteriolar constriction and afferent arteriolar dilation. ANP indirectly acts on tubular sites that are targets of R-A-A system, including proximal tubular sites (angiotensin) and distal nephron sites (aldosteron). Regulation of CNP secretion is different from that of ANP and BNP, which are cardiac hormones. The increase of the plasma CNP in chronic renal failure (CNF) can be due to the diminished clearance of CNP in the kidney or due to increase in CNP production that occurs in the renal parenchymal cells. In chronic renal failure (CRF) exists a downregulation of ANP clearance receptors due to exaggerated ANP-stimulated cGMP response in CRF glomeruli. In hemodialysis patients, changes in plasma ANP are greater than in BNP and more responsive to changes in left atrial volume due to ultrafiltration.

VASOAKTIVNI NATRIURETIČKI PEPTIDI I BUBREG

Porodica natriuretskih peptida odgovorna je za homeostazu telesne tečnosti i kontrolu krvnog pritiska. ANP i BNP deluju preko gvanilat-ciklaza A a CNP preko gvanilat-ciklaza B receptora. Glavna dejstva ANP su: 1 .neposredni i posredni uticaj na hemodinamske promene u bubregu, čime je povećano izlučivanje tečnosti i elektrolita; 2.suprotstavljanje funkciji renin-angiotenzin-aldosteron (RAA) sistema putem inhibicije stvaranja i/ili oslobađanja renina i aldosterona, i neutralisanjem svih poznatih efekata angiotenzina. ANP povećava glomerulsku filtraciju (GF) u svakom pojedinačnom nefronu zavisno od ukupne GF uglavnom na račun povećanja hidrostatskog pritiska u kapilarima glomerula regulisanim konstrikcijom eferentne i dilatacijom aferentne arteriole. ANP posredno deluje na mestima uticaja RAA sistema u tubulima uključujući proksimalni (angiotenzin) i distalni (aldosteron) tubul. Mehanizam nastanka CNP je različit od mehanizma nastanka hormona srca-ANP i BNP. U hroničnoj bubrežnoj insuficijenciji (HBI), smanjeno uklanjanje CNP u bubregu ili povećano stvaranje CNP od strane bubrežnih parenhimskih ćelija, dovodi do povećanja nivoa CNP u plazmi. Uz to, u HBI smanjuje se broj receptora za ANP zbog povećanja nivoa cGMP u glomerulima nastalog kao posledica povišenih vrednosti ANP u plazmi.U bolesnika na hemodijalizi (HD), promene nivoa ANP u plazmi veće su nego nivoa BNP i reaktivnije na promene volumena leve pretkomore u toku HD.
