Kidney haemodynamics appear to change after the early phases of diabetic nephropathy: increases in glomerular filtration rate and in renal plasma flow have been widely reported, while kidney size is increased. As the renal kallikrein-kinin system has been demonstrated to regulate kidney blood circulation, we have evaluated the excretion of urinary kallikrein in 87 Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients with and without hyperfiltration. Urinary kallikrein excretion was measured in 24-h urine collections. The esterolytic activity was determined by fluorimetric assay. The excretion of urinary kallikreins was significantly higher in hyperfiltering patients (472 +/- 125 esterase units/24 h) than in normofiltering (168 +/- 77 esterase units/24 h) and control subjects (151 +/- 39 esterase units/24 h), p < 0.001. Furthermore, we observed a positive correlation between urinary kallikrein excretion and glomerular filtration rate (r = 0.785). These data suggest that variations of kallikrein and kinin concentrations may play a role in the alteration of renal haemodynamics in Type 1 diabetes. It is possible that the kinin-kallikrein system, the renin-angiotensin system and the prostaglandins may interact to determine the haemodynamic alterations which are present in the diabetic disease.
