Recent work has shown stimulation of sodium retention by urinary plasmin during nephrotic syndrome. However, it is unclear whether plasminuria plays a role in patients with stable CKD and non-nephrotic proteinuria.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Design, setting, participants, & measurements<\/jats:title>\n \n In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed the fluid status of 171 patients with CKD consecutively presenting to our outpatient clinic from 2012 to 2013 using bioimpedance spectroscopy (Body Composition Monitor [BCM]; Fresenius Medical Care, Germany) and its associations to the urinary excretion of plasminogen and plasmin from a spot urine sample. Two\u2013electrode voltage clamp measurements were performed in\n Xenopus laevis<\/jats:italic>\n oocytes expressing human epithelial sodium channel to investigate whether plasmin in concentrations found in urine can activate the channel.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Overhydration >5% and overhydration >10% of the extracellular volume were found in 29% and 17% of the patients, respectively, and overhydration was associated with edema, hypertension, higher stages of CKD, and proteinuria. Proteinuria was the strongest independent predictor for overhydration (+0.58 L\/1.73 m\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n per 10-fold increase;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n <0.001). Urinary excretion of plasmin(ogen) quantified by ELISA correlated strongly with proteinuria (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n =0.87) and overhydration (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n =0.47). Using a chromogenic substrate, active plasmin was found in 44% of patients and correlated with proteinuria and overhydration. Estimated urinary plasmin concentrations were in a range sufficient to activate epithelial sodium channel currents\n in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n . In multivariable analysis, urinary excretion of plasmin(ogen) was associated with overhydration similar to proteinuria.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Hypervolemia in patients with CKD is strongly associated with proteinuria, even in the non-nephrotic range. Protein-rich urine contains high amounts of plasminogen and active plasmin, rendering plasminuria as a possible link between proteinuria and hypervolemia.<\/jats:p>\n
