Abstract:
We delineated in rats, the relationship between trypsin inhibitory activity in the urine and the nephrotoxic effects of gentamicin, eg, proteinuria and deterioration of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), measured by creatinine clearance. Gentamicin, 70 mg/kg per day, was injected intraperitoneally for 6-10 successive days. Serum and urine gentamicin levels were determined by a microbiological test. Trypsin inhibitory activity was assayed by the casein digestion method. The results showed a steady increase in urinary trypsin inhibitory activity starting from the fourth injection day. The increased levels of urinary trypsin inhibitory activity were associated with increased levels of urinary gentamicin excretion (r = 0.36, p < 0.02, n = 50 after the fourth injection day), and were significantly higher than in control groups (p < 0.001). The urinary trypsin inhibitory activity was inversely correlated with the GFR (r = -0.45, p < 0.01, after the second injection day). The serum trypsin inhibitory activity remained unchanged throughout the study period in all groups. These data suggest that increased urinary trypsin inhibitory activity may be involved in the pathogenesis of gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity. © 1988.
