Recent work suggests that treatment with inhaled beta(2)-agonists reduces the incidence of high-altitude pulmonary edema in susceptible subjects by increasing respiratory epithelial sodium transport. We estimated respiratory epithelial ion transport by transepithelial nasal potential difference (NPD) measurements in 20 normal male subjects before, during, and after a stay at 3,800 m. NPD hyperpolarized on ascent to 3,800 m (P < 0.05), but the change in potential difference with superperfusion of amiloride or isoprenaline was unaffected. Vital capacity (VC) fell on ascent to 3,800 m (P < 0.05), as did the normalized change in electrical impedance (NCI) measured over the right lung parenchyma (P < 0.05) suggestive of an increase in extravascular lung water. Echo-Doppler-estimated pulmonary artery pressure increases were insufficient to cause clinical pulmonary edema. There was a positive correlation between VC and NCI (R(2) = 0.633) and between NPD and both VC and NCI (R(2) = 0.267 and 0.418). These changes suggest that altered respiratory epithelial ion transport might play a role in the development of subclinical pulmonary edema at high altitude in normal subjects.
