The hemodynamic and renal responses to rapid intravascular volume expansion (VE) were studied in normal and areflexive dogs. "Isohemic" expansion was performed by infusing autologous blood (averaging 453 ml) thoroughly mixed with the circulating blood. In areflexive dogs cardiac output and arterial pressure doubled immediately after VE and fell back to control within 70 min; in normal dogs the circulatory response was less than one-third as great, but arterial pressure failed to return to control within 120 min. In the areflexive dogs, water, electrolyte, and total osmolar urinary output rose three- to fivefold after VE and declined thereafter, roughly following arterial pressure. In normal dogs the urine flow increased 40% immediately and rose further up to 70% in 60 min. No evidence for a natriuretic hormone was seen. It is concluded that mechanical factors are mainly responsible for the increased excretion of water and solutes after VE. Direct nervous reflexes to the kidney seemed to play a quantitatively minor role in the renal response.

Experiments were performed to test the postulate that neural influences underlie the suppressed excretory response to acute volume expansion (VE) typically observed 3-4 wk after myocardial infarction to induce chronic heart failure (CHF). Responses to VE were assessed in innervated (intact) and denervated (DNX) kidneys of anesthetized CHF rats and sham-operated controls. CHF rats exhibited blunted natriuretic responses to VE in both intact kidneys (35% of sham response) and DNX kidneys (55% of sham DNX response). CHF rats also displayed suppressed excretory responses to atrial natriuretic factor (0.25 microgram.kg-1.min-1 iv) in both intact kidneys (74% of sham response) and DNX kidneys (63% of sham DNX response). Additional experiments confirmed that the compliance of the venoatrial junction did not differ between sham rats (52 +/- 2 mmHg/microliter) and CHF rats (54-2 mmHg/microliter). The observations support the contention that both tonic renal sympathetic renal nerve activity and suppressed renal atrial natriuretic factor responsiveness likely contribute to the blunted excretory response to VE during CHF.
