Background: Chronic renal failure leads to several functional disturbances in the regulation of body fluid composition, excretion, and metabolism which is known as uremic syndrome. There are reports of chronic renal disturbances following adenine containing food regimens in animals. In this study, the effect of intraperitoneal injection of soluble adenine on chemical composition of serum and urine osmolality was investigated.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental study different concentrations of soluble adenine were injected to Sprague-Dawly rats from days 2 to 16 after birth. Factors such as serum and urine osmolality, urine volume and serum chemical factors such as glucose, urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium and body weight were measured after the injection of adenine up to 140 days.
Results: Serum osmolality, urea and creatinine increased after adenine injections, while body weight, urine osmolality and urine volume decreased. Meanwhile, the concentration of serum glucose, sodium and potassium did not show any significant changes.
Conclusion: Adenine induces an imbalance in many chemical factors of serum in chronic renal failure. Further studies on the effect of adenine reduction in diet on uremic syndrome are recommended.
