BackgroundPrimary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is an orphan inborn error of oxalate metabolism leading to hyperoxaluria, progressive renal failure, oxalate deposition, and increased cardiovascular complications. As endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness are early markers of cardiovascular risk, we investigated early endothelial and vascular dysfunction in young PH1 patients either under conservative treatment (PH1-Cons) or after combined kidney liver transplantation (PH1-T) in comparison to healthy controls (Cont-H) and patients with a past of renal transplantation (Cont-T).MethodsSkin microvascular function was non-invasively assessed by laser Doppler flowmetry before and after stimulation by current, thermal, or pharmacological (nitroprussiate (SNP) or acetylcholine (Ach))stimuli in young PH1 patients and controls.ResultsSeven PH1-Cons (6 F, median age 18.2) and 6 PH1-T (2 F, median age 13.3) were compared to 96 Cont-H (51 F, median age 14.2) and 6 Cont-T (4 F, median age 14.5). The endothelium-independent vasodilatation (SNP) was severely decreased in PH1-T compared to Cont-H. Ach, current-induced vasodilatation (CIV), and thermal response was increased in PH1-Cons and Cont-T compared to controls.ConclusionsPH1-T patients displayed severely decreased smooth muscle capacity to vasodilate. An exacerbated endothelial-dependent vasodilation suggests a role for silent inflammation in the early dysfunction of microcirculation observed in PH1-Cons and Cont-T.
