The objective of this study was to evaluate the renal actions of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in the unilateral postischemic kidney of anesthetized dogs with a severe reduction in glomerular filtration rate. The dose of atrial natriuretic peptide (50 ng∙kg−1∙min−1) we gave did not alter the mean systemic arterial pressure, renal blood flow, and glomerular filtration rate in the normal kidney, as determined in foregoing studies. ANP was infused into the intrarenal artery continuously for 60 min after the release from 45 min of complete renal artery occlusion. In the vehicle-infused group, the glomerular filtration rate fell dramatically (6% of control), the renal blood flow decreased (60% of control), and the mean systemic arterial pressure tended to increase (136% of control). The urine flow rate and urinary excretion of sodium decreased significantly (25 and 25%, respectively) at 30 min after reflow in the postischemic period. Continuous renal artery infusion of ANP resulted in a marked increase in urine flow rate (246% of control) and the urinary excretion of sodium (286% of control). The administration of ANP led to an improvement in renal blood flow (99% of control) and glomerular filtration rate (40% of control), and attenuated the rise in mean systemic arterial pressure (109% of control), compared with findings in the vehicle-infused group. Plasma renin activity and prostaglandin E2 concentration in the renal venous blood were elevated after the release from complete renal artery occlusion in both groups. These results indicate that the vascular effects of ANP on the postischemic kidney were enhanced and that the peptide maintained the natriuretic effect.

1. To determine the relevance of renal circulatory abnormalities found in the immature spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) to the genetic hypertensive process, glomerular filtration rate and renal blood flow were measured in conscious F2 rats, derived from crossbreeding SHR and normotensive Wistar–Kyoto rats (WKY), at 4, 11 and 16 weeks of age by determining the renal clearances of 51Cr-ethylenediaminetetra-acetate and 125I-hippuran respectively. Plasma renin activity was measured at 11 and 16 weeks of age. 2. Mean arterial pressure, glomerular filtration rate and renal blood flow increased between 4 and 11 weeks of age. Between 11 and 16 weeks the mean glomerular filtration rate and renal blood flow did not alter, although the mean arterial pressure rose significantly. At 11 weeks of age, during the developmental phase of hypertension, a significant negative correlation between mean arterial pressure and both glomerular filtration rate and renal blood flow was noted. However, by 16 weeks when the manifestations of genetic hypertension were more fully expressed, no correlation between mean arterial pressure and renal blood flow or glomerular filtration rate was observed. Plasma renin activity was negatively correlated with both glomerular filtration rate and renal blood flow, but the relationship was stronger at 11 than at 16 weeks of age. 3. These results suggest that the reduction in renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate, found in immature SHR, is genetically linked to the hypertension and may be of primary pathogenetic importance. It is proposed that the increased renal vascular resistance in these young animals stimulates the rise of systemic arterial pressure which returns renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate to normal.

Using a simplified avian kidney model, renal arterial perfusion pressure (RAPP) was reduced from 120 (control) to 70 mmHg (near the glomerular filtration rate autoregulatory limit) and then to 46 mmHg (below the glomerular filtration rate autoregulatory range) in kidneys with ambient or partially restricted renal portal flow. Renal blood flow (RBF) was measured with a thermal pulse decay (TPD) system, using TPD thermistor probes inserted at three locations to evaluate regional differences in RBF. The clearance (CPAH) and extraction of p-aminohippuric acid were used to calculate renal plasma flow (RPF). CPAH, RPF, and RBF values were consistently lower for kidneys with restricted portal flow than for kidneys with ambient portal flow. Reducing RAPP to 46 mmHg did not significantly reduce CPAH, RPF, or RBF in the ambient group but did significantly reduce CPAH and RPF (regressed on RAPP) in the restricted group. RBF was not significantly affected when RAPP was reduced in the restricted group, although significant regional differences in blood flow were recorded. Renal vascular resistance decreased significantly as RAPP was reduced to 46 mmHg in the ambient group, confirming the renal autoregulatory response. In separate validation studies, significant reductions in RBF were detected by the TPD system during acute obstructions of portal and/or arterial flow. Overall, the results support previous evidence that avian RBF remains constant over a wide range of RAPPs. Observations of nonuniform intrarenal distributions of portal blood flow suggest that the portal system maintains the constancy of RBF in regions with proportionately high portal-to-arterial flow ratios.
