In unanesthetized adult sheep, following intake of a daily meal, there was a peak in K excretion. The maximum and minimum rates of K excretion following meals were directly related to meal K content. On days without meals, no peak in K excretion occurred. Changes in K excretion on fed and fast days occurred without changes in the low levels of plasma aldosterone and were poorly correlated with urine or blood pH, urine flow rate, Na excretion, or the filtered load of K, but they correlated well with fractional K excretion. Plasma K did not change on fast days. Plasma K increased on some, but not all, fed days. Increases in plasma K that occurred on fed days were insufficient to account for the concurrent kaliuresis. Infusion of aldosterone or isotonic NaCl failed to alter K excretion in fed or fasted sheep. Infusion of isotonic NaCl + aldosterone hypertonic Na2SO4 + aldosterone increased K excretion in fasted but not fed sheep. Infusion of K in the rumen of fed and fasted sheep elevated rumen K concentration and led to increases in K excretion that could not be explained by increases in plasma K. The mechanisms responsible for the homeostatic changes in K excretion on fed and fast days were not ascertained but may importantly depend on sensors of enteric K content.

AbstractA standardized, quantified assessment of furosemide responsiveness predicts acute kidney injury (AKI) in children after cardiac surgery and AKI progression in critically ill adults. The purpose of this study was to determine if response to furosemide is predictive of severe AKI in critically ill children outside of cardiac surgery. We performed a multicenter retrospective study of critically ill children. Quantification of furosemide response was based on urine flow rate (normalized for weight) measurement 0 to 6 hours after the dose. The primary outcome was presence of creatinine defined severe AKI (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes stage 2 or greater) within 7 days of furosemide administration. Secondary outcomes included mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation and length of stay. A total of 110 patients were analyzed. Severe AKI occurred in 20% (n = 22). Both 2- and 6-hour urine flow rate were significantly lower in those with severe AKI compared with no AKI (p = 0.002 and p < 0.001). Cutoffs for 2- and 6-hour urine flow rate for prediction of severe AKI were <4 and <3 mL/kg/hour, respectively. The adjusted odds of developing severe AKI for 2-hour urine flow rate of <4 mL/kg/hour was 4.3 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.33–14.15; p = 0.02). The adjusted odds of developing severe AKI for 6-hour urine flow rate of <3 mL/kg/hour was 6.19 (95% CI: 1.85–20.70; p = 0.003). Urine flow rate in response to furosemide is predictive of severe AKI in critically ill children. A prospective assessment of urine flow rate in response to furosemide for predicting subsequent severe AKI is warranted.

1. Improved estimates of urine flow rates of lampreys in various salinities were obtained by the collection of urine for periods of up to 48 h from minimally-stressed, unanaesthetized fish, following catheterization of the urinogenital papilla. 2. The mean urine flow rate of freshwater lampreys was 200.7 ±14.3 ml kg−1 day−1. 3. Urine flow in freshwater lampreys was correlated with spontaneous changes in gill ventilation rate. MS222 anaesthesia reduced both ventilation and urine flow rates, but pronounced effects were only observed at concentrations greater than those needed to induce light anaesthesia (50–55 mg 1−1). Urine flow rate in unanaesthetized fish was extremely sensitive to rapid (6°Ch−1) changes in temperature and Q10 (6–16°C) was approximately 5. 4. Urine flow rate decreased rapidly as the osmotic difference between the body fluids and environment approached zero, and the rate of flow in 30% seawater lampreys was only 7.6% that of freshwater fish. 5. There was no evidence for an effect of environmental calcium concentration on branchial osmotic permeability. 6. Extensive tubular reabsorption of ions occurred in freshwater lampreys. The total daily excretion rate of sodium ions generally decreased in salinities hyperosmotic to the plasma, indicating enhanced reabsorption, but secretion of magnesium and sulphate ions was greatly increased. Urine osmolarity was significantly increased in lampreys in hyperosmotic salinities. 7. Present data compare favourably with data obtained previously from anaesthetized animals, indicating that renal function in lampreys is not significantly impaired by light MS222 anaesthesia.

Ovine Fetal

Samples of maternal and fetal plasma, fetal urine, and amniotic fluid were collected from 8 chronically cannulated pregnant llamas, in the last third of gestation. The samples were obtained for up to 18 days post-surgery. Osmolality, sodium (Na), potassium (K), chloride (Cl), and urea were measured on 40 samples collected on days 1, 2, 3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9, and 10-19. The osmolalities of maternal and fetal plasma, fetal urine and amniotic fluid, averaged over these 7 time periods, were, respectively, 312 +/- 2, 311 +/- 1, 484 +/- 14, and 317 +/- 1 mosmol kg-1. Values are given as mean +/- s.e. The major differences from fetal fluid values in the ovine fetus (from previously published values) were the higher osmolality and urea concentration of llama fetal urine. Urine flow rate measured in 6 fetuses, 4.5-6.5 kg body weight, was 5.8 +/- 0.4 mliter h-1; urea clearance rate was 55.5 +/- 11.8 mliter h-1. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR), measured with 51Cr-EDTA in 5 fetuses on 1-4 occasions, was 111.4 +/- 23.3 mliter h-1. Fractional reabsorptions (FR) of Na, K and Cl were 97.9 +/- 1, 75.9 +/- 13.5 and 97.7 +/- 0.4% respectively. The GFR (25 mliter kg-1 h-1) and urine flow rate (1 mL kg-1 h-1) were less than half and about one-tenth the respective values in ovine fetuses. As Na reabsorption is the major oxygen-consuming activity of the kidney, the llama fetal kidney requires only half the oxygen needed by the ovine fetal kidney to reabsorb the filtered sodium load. The reason for the formation of hypertonic, rather than hypotonic, urine in the fetal llama may be due to both greater morphological maturity of the kidney and the excretion of as yet unidentified osmotically active organic substances.

Atrial Natriuretic

Dorsal aortic pressure (DAP), urine flow rate, and urinary K+, Na+, and Cl- were monitored in chronically catheterized unanesthetized rainbow trout before and after injection of saline, tissue extracts, or synthetic (rat, Ile-26) atrial natriuretic factor (ANF). Synthetic ANF (1.0 and 10.0 micrograms/kg body wt) and extracts from trout atria and ventricles increased DAP, urine flow rate, and electrolyte excretion. Saline, skeletal muscle extracts, and 0.1 microgram/kg body wt synthetic ANF had no effect on DAP and only minor effects on renal water and ion excretion. The slow-onset long-duration pressor response to ANF and heart extracts contrasted with a rapid short-acting pressor effect of epinephrine. Synthetic ANF (10 micrograms/kg body wt) and ventricular extracts produced marked increases in Na+ and Cl- excretion but only a mild diuresis. Much of the increase in urine flow rate appears to be due to solvent injection. These results show that trout hearts contain an ANF-like material and that mammalian and piscine ANF produce hemodynamic and renal effects upon intra-arterial injection.

Medullary Collecting Duct

The objective of this study was to evaluate the hypothesis that a high concentration of ionized calcium in the lumen of the medullary collecting duct causes an osmole-free water diuresis. The urine flow rate and osmolality were measured in normal human subjects, as well as in patients with a history of nephrolithiasis who excreted more than 5 mmol of calcium per 24 h. There was an inverse relationship between the concentration of calcium in the urine and the 24 h urine volume both in normal subjects and in patients with a history of nephrolithiasis. When the concentration of calcium in the urine was greater than 5 mmol/l, the urine volume was less than 1 litre per day in the majority of subjects. After 16 h of water deprivation, when the concentration of calcium in the urine was as high as 17 mmol/l (ionized calcium 7.4 mmol/l), urine osmolality was 1258 mOsm/kg of water and the urine flow rate was 0.30 ml/min. We conclude that, although a calcium receptor may be present in the lumen of the medullary collecting duct in human subjects, an extremely high concentration of urinary total and ionized calcium does not cause a clinically important defect in the renal concentrating process.
