Data have appeared suggesting that an impairment of renal tubular secretion is present in liver cirrhosis, even in the absence of a clinically evident renal dysfunction. To address this question, we evaluated the renal clearance of N(1)-methylnicotinamide (NMN), a marker of the renal secretory function, in healthy subjects and patients with liver cirrhosis of increasing severity, but with a normal glomerular filtration rate.
