We determined the influence of pentobarbital sodium on the renal responses of the monkey to acute intravascular volume expansion. Before volume expansion, the anesthetized animals had a significantly lower blood pressure and creatinine clearance and a significantly higher urine flow and sodium excretion than the conscious animals. After volume expansion with an isotonic, isoncotic, dextran solution, sodium excretion and urine flow increased significantly in both groups of animals. However, both responses were significantly greater in the anesthetized animals. The greater natriuresis in the anesthetized animals was associated with a greater fractional sodium excretion than in the conscious animals. The potentiated response of the anesthetized animal may be the result of a direct renal tubular effect of pentobarbital and/or the result of the anesthetic removing an inhibitory influence on sodium excretion.

Renal Responses

The purpose of this study was to determine if the reflex response to a saline load is altered in the obese Zucker rat. The obese Zucker rat is a genetic model of obesity and insulin-resistant diabetes that has been reported to have high blood pressure. We examined the reflux renal responses to volume expansion in both anesthetized obese and lean Zucker rats. Initial blood pressure was significantly elevated in the obese Zucker rats compared with the lean controls. Urine flow and sodium excretion from innervated and denervated kidneys were measured before and after volume expansion with normal saline. Volume expansion resulted in significantly less urine flow and sodium excretion in the obese than the lean Zucker rats. This response was evident in both the intact and denervated kidneys. Rats were then infused with atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) to determine if natriuretic and diuretic responses were altered in these rats. The diuretic action of ANP was not significantly reduced in the obese Zucker rat. However, the natriuretic action of ANP was significantly attenuated in the obese rats. These results indicate that the reflux response to an acute saline load is attenuated in the obese Zucker rat and that this decreased response may be due to a reduction in the direct action of ANP on the kidney.

Renal Responses

Hemodynamic responses, renal function, and plasma levels of immunoreactive atrial natriuretic factor (irANF) were examined following volume expansion (VE) in normal (N) conscious dogs and in conscious dogs with cardiac denervation (CD). Base-line urine flow was consistently greater (P less than 0.05) in dogs with CD (0.54 +/- 0.06 ml/min) than in N (0.29 +/- 0.03 ml/min) dogs but sodium excretion did not differ between N (2.80 +/- 0.58 mu eq.min-1.kg body wt-1) and CD (3.53 +/- 0.75 mu eq.min-1.kg-1) groups. With VE (18 ml/kg of 3% dextran in saline), mean arterial pressure (MAP) increased (P less than 0.01) by 16 +/- 3 from 103 +/- 4 mmHg in N dogs but did not change from pre-VE base line (103 +/- 2 mmHg) in dogs with CD. At 10 min after VE, urine flow increased more (P less than 0.01) in N dogs (1.39 +/- 0.24 ml/min) than in dogs with CD (0.26 +/- 0.09 ml/min). At that time, increases in sodium excretion were also greater (P less than 0.01) in N (9.13 +/- 1.96 mu eq.min-1.kg-1) dogs than in dogs with CD (1.06 +/- 0.68 mu eq.min-1.kg-1). With VE, increases in irANF plasma levels were not different in N dogs (40 +/- 12 from 34 +/- 5 pg/ml) and in dogs with CD (27 +/- 3 from 45 +/- 7 pg/ml). In dogs with CD, when MAP was increased by aortic constriction to mimic responses observed in N dogs, renal responses were similar to those of N dogs.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATEDAT 250 WORDS)

Renal Responses

Experiments were performed to determine the effects of nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibition on the renal responses to volume expansion in conscious cynomolgus monkeys. All animals were volume expanded with 3% dextran in normal saline under three conditions: 1) during a control state, 2) during constant infusion of the NO synthase inhibitor N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 30 microg x kg(-1) x min(-1)), and 3) during simultaneous infusion of L-NAME and excess NO substrate L-arginine (0.6 mg x kg(-1) x min(-1)). The control volume expansion increased urine flow from 0.27 +/- 0.05 to 0.94 +/- 0.28 ml/min and sodium excretion from 21 +/- 9 to 95 +/- 26 microeq/min. During L-NAME infusion, these responses were attenuated in that urine flow only increased from 0.13 +/- 0.03 to 0.28 +/- 0.09 ml/min and sodium excretion from 13 +/- 8 to 35 +/- 23 microeq/min. Addition of L-arginine to the L-NAME infusion abolished these renal excretory effects of L-NAME alone. With combined L-NAME/L-arginine, volume expansion increased urine flow from 0.37 +/- 0.23 to 1.09 +/- 0.23 ml/min and sodium excretion from 38 +/- 27 to 150 +/- 24 microeq/min, responses similar to control. L-Arginine also markedly attenuated the effect of L-NAME to increase mean arterial pressure and abolished the L-NAME decreases in creatinine and p-aminohippurate clearances. However, an L-NAME-induced bradycardia could only be partially reversed. These results demonstrate that a functioning NO system may be important in mediating normal renal responses to volume expansion in this primate species.

Renal Responses

Experiments were performed in conscious macaque monkeys to determine the effect of renal denervation on the diuresis and natriuresis of blood volume expansion. When the kidneys were innervated, expansion of estimated blood volume by 20% with 3% dextran in isotonic saline caused increases in urine flow (V), from 0.28 +/- 0.07 ml/min to a peak response of 1.08 +/- 0.20 ml/min, absolute sodium excretion (UNaV), from 30.0 +/- 11.2 to 99.8 +/- 11.7 mueq/min, and fractional sodium excretion (FENa+), from 1.24 +/- 0.51 to 3.19 +/- 0.56%. The animals then underwent bilateral renal denervation and were volume expanded a second time 6-13 days postdenervation. Under this condition, V increased from 0.32 +/- 0.05 to 0.64 +/- 0.08 ml/min, UNaV, from 22.2 +/- 4.6 to 46.2 +/- 8.0 mueq/min, and FENa+, from 0.91 +/- 0.26 to 1.92 +/- 0.41%, these increases being significantly less than when the kidneys were innervated. These results demonstrate that the renal nerves play an important role in the nonhuman primate in mediating increases in renal excretion during hypervolemia.

1. Recent investigation has shown that sodium excretion is greater following portal venous infusion of 5% sodium chloride (w/v) than after systemic infusion in anaesthetized dogs. It was suggested that a factor of hepatic origin which is capable of depressing renal tubular reabsorption may be involved in this response. The present experiments were undertaken to determine the renal responses of conscious, unanaesthetized dogs to infusions of 5% NaCl administered systemically and by the portal venous routes. 2. No differences were observed in urine flow or sodium excretion rates in normal dogs when responses to the two routes of NaCl infusion were compared; potassium excretion was elevated following systemic as compared to portal NaCl infusion (P < 0·05). Urine flow was significantly greater (P < 0·05) in vasopressin and mineralocorticoid treated dogs following portal infusion of 5% NaCl, but no differences in electrolyte excretion were observed between routes of administration. 3. These findings are not compatible with the concept that a natriuretic factor is released from the liver consequent to elevation of portal venous sodium concentration in the conscious dog.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether chronic removal of atrial appendages alters renal response to volume expansion in the conscious monkey. Chronic bilateral atrial appendectomy (ATX) was performed in six animals. Six additional animals served as sham-operated controls. Monkeys were studied 1-2 wk after chronic surgery. The protocol consisted of three consecutive 10-min urine collections followed by 20% ischemic blood volume expansion (VE) and 120 min of post-VE measurements. In sham animals, VE caused an increase in plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels (48 +/- 7 pg/ml to a peak of 108 +/- 34 pg/ml). Urine flow increased from 0.43 +/- 0.07 to 1.07 +/- 0.24 ml/min, sodium excretion increased from 17.9 +/- 2.6 to 74.9 +/- 12.0 mu eq/min, and fractional sodium excretion increased from 0.67 +/- 0.10 to 2.43 +/- 0.28%. ATX attenuated the increase in ANP (34 +/- 8 pg/ml to a peak of 38 +/- 9 pg/ml) in four of six animals. In these animals, renal response to VE was significantly attenuated. Urine flow increased from 0.21 +/- 0.05 to 0.30 +/- 0.01 ml/min, sodium excretion increased from 19.3 +/- 6.02 to 37.8 +/- 5.05 mu eq/min, and fractional sodium excretion increased from 0.79 +/- 0.08 to 1.43 +/- 0.17%. Renal response of two ATX animals with normal increases in atrial natriuretic factor was similar to the sham group. Effect of volume expansion on mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure, and renal hemodynamics was not altered by ATX. These findings demonstrate that bilateral atrial appendectomy in the monkey attenuates the increase in ANP and reduces renal response to VE.

Studies were performed to investigate the role of circulating atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in acute volume-expansion natriuresis. Sham-operated (SHAM, n = 6) and right atrial appendectomized (ATRX, n = 12) anesthetized rats underwent acute volume expansion with isoncotic albumin. After equilibration and control periods, volume expansion increased urine flow rate, urinary sodium excretion, fractional excretion of sodium, and circulating ANP. Absolute increases in urine flow rate (delta 46 +/- 4 SHAM; delta 25 +/- 5 microliter/min ATRX), urinary sodium excretion (delta 9.48 +/- 1.01 SHAM; delta 4.77 +/- 1.03 mueq/min ATRX), fractional excretion of sodium (delta 3.16 +/- 0.53 SHAM; delta 1.65 +/- 0.32% ATRX), and ANP (delta 303.3 +/- 35.9 SHAM; delta 156.6 +/- 26.0 pg/ml ATRX) were significantly reduced by right atrial appendectomy. No significant differences in mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure, or glomerular filtration rate during volume expansion were observed between groups. These studies support the hypothesis that right atrial appendectomy in the rat attenuates acute volume expansion-induced increases in circulating ANP and urinary sodium excretion and that the natriuresis of acute volume expansion is mediated in part by an increase in circulating ANP.

Vasopressin (VP) was administered for 1 h intravenously to hydropenic, anesthetized dogs in doses of 1.0-1.25 mU/kg per min. In 14 experiments, sodium excretion (UNA V) increased from a mean of 13 +/- 5 to a peak of 96 +/- 21 mueq/min 40 min after beginning infusion (P less than .001). Urine flow and potassium excretion increased from 0.18 +/-.04 ml/min and 20 +/- 2 meuq/min to peak values of 0.6 +/- .08 ml/min and 61 +/- 9 mueq/min, respectively (P less than .001), with no significant increase in glomerular filtration rate. No significant changes in UNA V occurred in eight sham control experiments of in six experiments in which VP was given at 75 muU/kf per min. To test the hypothesis that VP might be natriuretic indirectly by releasing a natriuretic substance, plasms ultrafiltrates were tested for toad bladder antinatriferic activity(AA). During steady-state control, AA was -10 +/- 3%. Thirty and sixty minutes after beginning VP, AA increased to -24 +/- 3% (P less than .05) and -26 +/- 2% (P less than .001), respectiviely. No significant change in plasma AA occurred in either sham controls or in animals given the subnatriuretic VP dose. Incubation of plasma with 1,000 muU/ml VP caused no increase in AA. The data show that VP natriuresis is accompanied by an increase in plasms AA. The results suggest that vasopressin natriuresis in hydropenic dogs at least in part to the release of a humoral inhibitor of renal tubular sodium transport.

Direct Technique

This study examined the effect of increases in renal interstitial hydrostatic pressure (PI) on sodium excretion (UNaV) utilizing a direct technique for increasing renal interstitial volume. PI was increased by renal interstitial volume expansion (RIVE) via injection of 50 microliters of a 2% albumin in saline solution into the renal interstitium through a chronically implanted interstitial catheter. RIVE resulted in a stable increase in PI (4.6 +/- 0.4 to 9.4 +/- 0.8 mmHg) that was sustained over a 30- to 40-min period without significant changes in renal blood flow or glomerular filtration rate. Increases in PI were associated with significant increases in urine flow (13.8 +/- 3.4 to 31.7 +/- 5.0 microliters/min) and UNaV (2.3 +/- 0.6 to 6.2 +/- 1.1 micro eq/min) and fractional excretion of Na (2.6 +/- 0.8 to 6.9 +/- 1.5%). To determine the importance of albumin in maintaining an elevated PI, the effects of renal interstitial injections of saline were compared with albumin in saline solution. Injection of 50 microliters of saline into the renal interstitium had no sustained effect on PI. Injection of 2% albumin in saline solution in the same group of rats resulted in significant elevations in PI and UNaV. These data indicate that direct increases in PI via renal interstitial volume expansion result in significant increases in UNaV, thus supporting a role for PI in controlling UNaV.
