The present study describes renal findings in 41 BBS patients and analyzes the pathogenesis of hyposthenuria, the most common renal dysfunction. Five of 41 patients (12%) showed an estimated glomerular filtration rate &lt; 60 ml\u00b7min<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\u00b71.73 m<jats:sup>\u22122<\/jats:sup>. Urine protein and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio were over 200 and 30 mg\/g in 9\/24 and 7\/23 patients, respectively. Four of 41 patients showed no renal anomalies on ultrasound. Twenty of 34 patients had hyposthenuria in the absence of renal insufficiency. In all 8 of the hyposthenuric patients studied, dDAVP failed to elevate urine osmolality (Uosm), suggesting a nephrogenic origin. Interestingly, water loading (WL) did not result in a significant reduction of Uosm, indicating combined concentrating and diluting defects. dDAVP infusion induced a significant increase of plasma Factor VIII and von Willebrand Factor levels, supporting normal function of the type 2 vasopressin receptor at least in endothelial cells. While urinary aquaporin 2 (u-AQP2) abundance was not different between patients and controls at baseline, the dDAVP-induced increased u-AQP2 and the WL-induced reduction of u-AQP2 were blunted in patients with a combined concentrating and diluting defect, suggesting a potential role of AQP2 in the defective regulation of water absorption. Urine Uromodulin excretion was reduced in all hyposthenuric patients, suggesting a thick ascending limb defect. Interestingly, renal Na, Cl, Ca, but not K handling was impaired after acute WL but not at basal. In summary, BBS patients show combined urinary concentration and dilution defects; a thick ascending limb and collecting duct tubulopathy may underlie impaired water handling.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1152\/ajprenal.00224.2016","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,4]],"date-time":"2016-08-04T01:21:01Z","timestamp":1470273661000},"page":"F686-F694","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Renal phenotype in Bardet-Biedl syndrome: a combined defect of urinary concentration and dilution is associated with defective urinary AQP2 and UMOD excretion"],"prefix":"10.1152","volume":"311","author":[{"given":"Miriam","family":"Zacchia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Nephrology, Department of Cardiothoracic and Respiratory Sciences-Second University of Naples, Naples, Italy;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Enza","family":"Zacchia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Nephrology, Department of Cardiothoracic and Respiratory Sciences-Second University of Naples, Naples, Italy;"},{"name":"Institute of Genetics and Biophysics of the National Research Council (CNR), Naples, Italy;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Enrica","family":"Zona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Nephrology, Department of Cardiothoracic and Respiratory Sciences-Second University of Naples, Naples, Italy;"},{"name":"Institute of Genetics and Biophysics of the National Research Council (CNR), Naples, Italy;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giovanna","family":"Capolongo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Nephrology, Department of Cardiothoracic and Respiratory Sciences-Second University of Naples, Naples, Italy;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ilaria","family":"Raiola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Nephrology, Department of Cardiothoracic and Respiratory Sciences-Second University of Naples, Naples, Italy;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luca","family":"Rinaldi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Nephrology, Department of Cardiothoracic and Respiratory Sciences-Second University of Naples, Naples, Italy;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Trepiccione","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Nephrology, Department of Cardiothoracic and Respiratory Sciences-Second University of Naples, Naples, Italy;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Diego","family":"Ingrosso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Biophysics and General Pathology, Second University of Naples, Naples, Italy;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alessandra","family":"Perna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Nephrology, Department of Cardiothoracic and Respiratory Sciences-Second University of Naples, Naples, Italy;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Valentina","family":"Di Iorio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eye Clinic, Multidisciplinary Department of Medical, Surgical and Dental Sciences-Second University of Naples, Naples, Italy;
