Splanchnic exchange of amino acids after amino acid ingestion in patients with chronic renal insufficiency

Splanchnic exchange (net uptake or release) of amino acids (AAs) was evaluated by measuring arterial-hepatic venous differences for AAs and hepatic blood flow in patients with chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) and control subjects before and for 70 min after the ingestion of an AA mixture simulating an animal protein meal. In CRI after AA ingestion, splanchnic exchange area for total nonessential AAs (NEAAs) is increased 135% over control subjects because of an augmented escape of proline, glutamate, serine, glycine, alanine, and cyst(e)ine; contrarily, glutamine shows an increased splanchnic uptake. Splanchnic exchange area for total essential AAs (EAAs) is increased only by 67% over controls because of a higher escape of threonine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, and histidine. Abnormalities in arterial areas for AAs parallel those in splanchnic areas except for glutamine and isoleucine. Data indicate that in CRI, at least for 70 min after an AA meal, splanchnic organs metabolize abnormally ingested AAs and export an increased and unbalanced bulk of AAs, severely affecting postprandial arterial profile of AAs.
