Arterial Blood Volume

Despite the different origins of cerebrovascular activity induced by neurogenic and nonneurogenic conditions, a standard assumption in functional studies is that the consequence on the vascular system will be mechanically similar. Using a recently developed arterial spin labeling method, we examined arterial blood volume, arterial-microvascular transit time, and cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the gray matter and in areas with large arterial vessels under hypercapnia, visual stimulation, and a combination of the two. Spatial heterogeneity in arterial reactivity was observed between conditions. During hypercapnia, large arterial volume changes contributed to CBF increase and further downstream, there were reductions in the gray matter transit time. These changes were not significant during visual stimulation, and during the combined condition they were moderated. These findings suggest distinct vascular mechanisms for large and small arterial segments that may be condition specific. However, the power relationships between gray matter arterial blood volume and CBF in hypercapnia (α = 0.69 ± 0.24) and visual stimulation (α = 0.68 ± 0.20) were similar. Assuming consistent capillary and venous volume responses across these conditions, these results offer support for a consistent total CBV–flow relationship typically assumed in blood oxygen-level dependent calibration techniques.

Arterial Blood Volume

Oedema is a hallmark feature of nephrotic syndrome (NS) and can cause significant patient morbidity. The pathogenesis of oedema formation is complex and results from abnormalities in sodium retention, inter-play of neurohormonal factors, and changes in capillary filtration barrier. Salt retention is often primary (‘overfill’ theory) because of increased sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase activity in the collecting duct cells, increased direct epithelial sodium channel activation (ENaC) by urinary proteases (independent of aldosterone), and an overall increased effective arterial blood volume. However, a subset of patients with NS, especially children, demonstrate decreased effective arterial blood volume (‘underfill’ theory) and secondary sodium retention as the primary mechanism of oedema formation. Increased capillary permeability and vascular inflammation contributes as well. Loop diuretics with or without salt-poor albumin are the mainstay of therapy in adults, although no large clinical trials exist to guide diuretic choice or dosage. Combination diuretic therapy is recommended to achieve multi-site nephron blockade and overcome diuretic resistance, which is a frequent challenge. Use of direct ENaC inhibitors (amiloride) in combination with loop diuretics may be especially beneficial given the primary role of ENaC in sodium retention. Aquaretics such as vasopressin receptor antagonists may have a role in treatment as well. Well-designed clinical trials are essential to guide therapy of refractory oedema in NS. In this review, the authors discuss the pathogenesis of oedema formation in patients with NS and propose a treatment algorithm for management of resistant oedema based on the limited available evidence.
