We investigated whether glomerular hemodynamic parameters in nondiabetic subjects, including healthy subjects, are associated with glycemic status indices, by simultaneous measurement of inulin ( @entity8046 ) and para-aminohippuric acid (CPHA) clearance. Twenty-six subjects (age 49.5      13.3  years; 13 @entity1 and 13 @entity1 ; 14 healthy subjects and 12 subjects with mild @entity644 ) were enrolled. @entity8046 and @entity8045 were measured simultaneously. All 26 subjects were nondiabetics. Estimated preglomerular resistance, estimated postglomerular resistance, and estimated glomerular hydrostatic pressure (Pglo) were calculated according to Gomez' formula. Pglo correlated significantly and positively with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in both healthy subjects (r  =  0.532, P  =  0.0498) and subjects with mild @entity644 (r  =  0.681, P  =  0.015). While there was no significant correlation between estimated preglomerular resistance and HbA1c, estimated postglomerular resistance correlated significantly and positively with HbA1c both in healthy subjects (r  =  0.643, P  =  0.013) and subjects with mild @entity644 (r  =  0.589, P  =  0.044). Glomerular filtration fraction, estimated Pglo and estimated postglomerular resistance in total subjects were associated significantly with HbA1c after adjustment for age, gender, and body mass index. These results demonstrate that, even in nondiabetic subjects, glycemic status is associated with estimated postglomerular resistance, but not estimated preglomerular resistance. It is suggested that increased estimated postglomerular resistance associated with higher HbA1c levels, even within the normal range, causes increased estimated Pglo, leading to increased FF. Thus, hemodynamic abnormalities associated with higher HbA1c levels may be related to glomerular @entity101 , even in nondiabetic subjects.
