kynurenine and Renal Insufficiency

kynurenine has been researched along with Renal Insufficiency in 7 studies

Kynurenine: A metabolite of the essential amino acid tryptophan metabolized via the tryptophan-kynurenine pathway.
kynurenine : A ketone that is alanine in which one of the methyl hydrogens is substituted by a 2-aminobenzoyl group.

Renal Insufficiency: Conditions in which the KIDNEYS perform below the normal level in the ability to remove wastes, concentrate URINE, and maintain ELECTROLYTE BALANCE; BLOOD PRESSURE; and CALCIUM metabolism. Renal insufficiency can be classified by the degree of kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE.

"It has recently been shown that an increased plasma level of the tryptophan catabolite kynurenine is an early indicator for the development of sepsis in major trauma patients."7.76Excessive tryptophan catabolism along the kynurenine pathway precedes ongoing sepsis in critically ill patients. ( Domanska, G; Fusch, G; Gruendling, M; Haas, JP; Holtfreter, B; Reinke, P; Schefold, JC; Schuett, C; Westerholt, A; Zeden, JP, 2010)
"Marked increases in metabolites of the L-tryptophan-kynurenine pathway, L-kynurenine and quinolinic acid (Quin), were observed in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of both the rat and human with renal insufficiency."7.70Mechanism of increases in L-kynurenine and quinolinic acid in renal insufficiency.
