Glomerulotubular Balance

To study the relationship between proximal tubular reabsorption of bicarbonate, sodium, and chloride, the effects of changes in plasma PCO2 were examined in anesthetized dogs. Distal tubular reabsorption was inhibited by ethacrynic acid; plasma bicarbonate concentration was kept constant at 33.4 +/- 0.3 mM; glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was varied over a wide range to examine glomerulotubular balance (constant fractional reabsorption). Hypercapnia (PCO2, 112.0 +/- 2.5 mmHg) increased bicarbonate reabsorption by about 30%, and hypocapnia (PCO2, 19.8 +/- 0.6 mmHg) decreased reabsorption of bicarbonate by more than 50% and altered reabsorption of sodium, chloride, and bicarbonate in the molar ratios 2.7:1.6:1, respectively. During hypercapnia the range of glomerulotubular balance was extended to a GFR 125% of control. During hypocapnia glomerulotubular balance was present only at GFR below 50% of control; reabsorption of bicarbonate sodium, and chloride was constant at GFR exceeding 50% of control. During metabolic acidosis hypercapnia had no significant effect on reabsorption of bicarbonate, sodium, and chloride. These observations support the hypothesis that bicarbonate reabsorption is the main driving force for osmotic reabsorption of water and NaCl in the proximal tubules.

Proximal Tubular

Samples of fluid from the proximal tubule were collected for the measurement of pH and bicarbonate concentration before and after the administration of acetazolamide (Diamox). Samples collected before acetazolamide were consistently more acid than plasma with the most acid samples coming from the more distal portion of the proximal tubule. After the intravenous administration of acetazolamide, the pH and bicarbonate concentration were consistently higher than in plasma. Bicarbonate concentrations as high as 2.8 times that in plasma were observed. The rise in proximal tubular fluid bicarbonate concentration after acetazolamide is presumably due to a reduction in the rate of bicarbonate reabsorption out of proportion to any impairment in proximal tubular fluid volume reduction.

Proximal Tubular Reabsorption

The rate of proximal tubular reabsorption of phosphate (Pi) is a major determinant of Pi homeostasis. Deviations of the extracellular concentration of Piare corrected by many factors that control the activity of Na-Pi cotransport across the apical membrane. In this review, we describe the regulation of proximal tubule Pi reabsorption via one particular Na-Pi cotransporter (the type IIa cotransporter) by parathyroid hormone (PTH) and dietary phosphate intake. Available data indicate that both factors determine the net amount of type IIa protein residing in the apical membrane. The resulting change in transport capacity is a function of both the rate of cotransporter insertion and internalization. The latter process is most likely regulated by PTH and dietary Pi and is considered irreversible since internalized type IIa Na-Picotransporters are subsequently routed to the lysosomes for degradation.

Glomerulotubular Balance

The determinants of absolute proximal reabsorption (APR) were studied in four groups of rats during hydropenia, partial renal vein occlusion (RVO), saline expansion, and RVO after saline expansion. Nephron filtration rate (SNGFR), nephron plasma flow (RPF), APR, and proximal tubule (Pt) peritubular capillary (HPc), and interstitial (HPi) hydrostatic pressures were measured by micropuncture techniques. Subcapsular space (pii) and star peritubular capillary (piE) oncotic pressures were also determined. The peritubular capillary permeability coefficiency (LpAR) and the corresponding effective reabsorptive pressure (ERP) were computed, where APR = LpAR . ERP, and ERP = net reabsorptive pressure across the peritubular capillary. The results indicate that APR correlates best with SNGFR (P less than 0.05), but not with (pii - HPi), RPF, or LpAR. There was a significant relationship between piE and LpAR, where LpAR fell with increases in piE (P less than 0.01). In conclusion, 1) changes in absolute proximal reabsorption correlate best with changes in nephron filtration rate but not with (pii - HPi) across this range of values, 2) changes in efferent oncotic pressure (piiE) correlated inversely with LpAR, and 3) glomerulotubular balance in the proximal tubule can be partially attributed to intraluminal factors.
