OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of short-term administration of diclofenac-colestyramine on glomerular filtration rate (GFR), renal plasma flow (RPF) and urinary excretion of prostanoids in patients with type-2 diabetes without and with impaired renal function.METHODS: In the randomised, single-blind, placebo-controlled, two-period crossover study, 32 patients with type-2 diabetes (group 1: 16 patients without impaired renal function, creatinine clearance > or =80 ml/min and group 2: 16 patients with impaired renal function, creatinine clearance 30-79 ml/min) received 140 mg diclofenac-colestyramine (corresponding to 75 mg diclofenac sodium) or placebo twice a day on days 1 and 2 and once on day 3 with a wash-out period of 6 days between the two periods. GFR was assessed using both measurement of creatinine clearance and calculation of inulin clearance and RPF was assessed using calculation of para-aminohippurate (PAH) clearance after the short-term administration on day 3. Urinary excretion of prostanoids (PGE(2), PGE-M, 6-keto-PGF(1alpha), 2,3-dinor-6-keto-PGF(1alpha), TxB(2), 2,3-dinor-TxB(2) and 11-dehydro-TxB(2)) were measured before and after drug intake.RESULTS: Comparison with placebo showed no effect of diclofenac-colestyramine on creatinine, inulin or PAH clearance ( P>0.05) in patients with type-2 diabetes either without or with impaired renal function. The differences in creatinine, inulin and PAH clearance between the two groups of patients were not influenced by diclofenac-colestyramine. Urinary excretion of PGE(2), PGE-M, 6-keto-PGF(1alpha), 2,3-dinor-6-keto-PGF(1alpha), TxB(2), 2,3-dinor-TxB(2) ( P=1.89) and 11-dehydro-TxB(2) was significantly reduced by diclofenac-colestyramine.CONCLUSION: These results indicate that proven non-specific cyclooxygenase inhibition by short-term administration of diclofenac-colestyramine did not affect renal haemodynamic function (GFR, RPF) in patients with type-2 diabetes either without or with impaired renal function.
