The present study examines the role of renal interstitial hydrostatic pressure (RIHP) in the pressure-diuretic and -natriuretic response. The relationships between RIHP, sodium excretion, and renal perfusion pressure (RPP) were determined in antidiuretic and volume-expanded (VE) rats with an intact or decapsulated kidney. RIHP was measured by use of the implanted capsule technique. RIHP increased significantly from 7.5 +/- 0.8 to 12.0 +/- 1.4 mmHg in VE animals and from 3.3 +/- 0.4 to 5.2 +/- 0.7 mmHg in antidiuretic rats after RPP was varied from 100 to 150 mmHg. The pressure-natriuretic response of the antidiuretic rats was blunted compared with that observed in the VE rats. Decapsulation of the kidney in VE rats lowered RIHP and reduced, but did not eliminate, the pressure-natriuretic response. To determine whether this residual response was related to changes in interstitial pressure in the medulla, cortical (CIHP) and medullary interstitial hydrostatic pressures (MIHP) were simultaneously measured in VE rats with an intact or decapsulated kidney. In control rats CIHP and MIHP were similar at all levels of RPP studied. In rats with the renal capsule removed MIHP was higher than CIHP and rose significantly from 6.7 +/- 0.8 to 9.2 +/- 0.8 mmHg when RPP was varied from 100 to 150 mmHg. These results indicate that pressure diuresis and natriuresis is accompanied by changes in RIHP and the response is modulated by the basal level of RIHP. These findings suggest that changes in MIHP may serve as an intrarenal signal for this response.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that changes in renal perfusion pressure may be transmitted to the renal interstitium and cause alterations in renal interstitial hydrostatic pressure and sodium excretion. A method that utilizes a chronically implanted polyethylene matrix that allows for direct continuous measurement of renal interstitial hydrostatic pressure, and agrees well with subcapsular measurement in rats, was developed. Renal interstitial hydrostatic pressure, fractional excretion of sodium, and urine flow rate were 3.0 +/- 0.3 mmHg, 0.35 +/- 0.13%, and 19.44 +/- 3.00 microliter/min, respectively, when renal perfusion pressure was 101 +/- 0.8 mmHg. When renal perfusion pressure was increased to 123 +/- 0.9 mmHg renal interstitial hydrostatic pressure, fractional excretion of sodium, and urine flow rate increased significantly to 5.8 +/- 0.6 mmHg, 1.29 +/- 0.29%, and 50.76 +/- 8.83 microliter/min, respectively, in anesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats. These changes occur despite a well-autoregulated glomerular filtration rate and renal blood flow. In conclusion, increasing renal perfusion pressure caused a significant increase in renal interstitial hydrostatic pressure as measured directly by the implanted polyethylene matrix method and was associated with a significant increase in sodium excretion.

Anesthetized dogs with isolated carotid sinus preparation were used to examine the mechanisms involved in the increase in renin secretion rate produced by carotid baroreceptor reflex renal nerve stimulation (RNS) at constant renal perfusion pressure. Lowering carotid sinus pressure by 41 +/- 5 mmHg for 10 min increased mean arterial pressure and heart rate, caused no or minimal renal hemodynamic changes, decreased urinary sodium excretion, and increased renin secretion rate. Metoprolol, a beta 1-adrenoceptor antagonist, given in the renal artery, did not affect the decrease in urinary sodium excretion but attenuated the increase in renin secretion rate, from 1,764 +/- 525 to 412 +/- 126 ng/min (70 +/- 8%). Indomethacin or meclofenamate, prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors, did not affect the decrease in urinary sodium excretion but attenuated the increase in renin secretion rate, from 1,523 +/- 416 to 866 +/- 413 ng/min (51 +/- 18%). Addition of metoprolol to indomethacin-pretreated dogs attenuated the increase in renin secretion rate from 833 +/- 327 to 94 +/- 60 ng/min (86 +/- 10%). These results indicate that reflex RNS at constant renal perfusion pressure results in an increase in renin secretion rate that is largely mediated by renal beta 1-adrenoceptors and is partly dependent on intact renal prostaglandin synthesis. The beta 1-adrenoceptor-mediated increase in renin secretion rate is independent of and not in series with renal prostaglandins.

The present study tested the hypothesis that the presence of renal prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is necessary for full natriuretic response to increased renal interstitial hydrostatic pressure (RIHP) during increased renal perfusion pressure (RPP). In control untreated pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs (n = 7), fractional excretion of sodium (FENa) was 1.17 +/- 0.48, 1.07 +/- 0.24, and 2.69 +/- 0.57% at RPP of 90, 122, and 148 mmHg, respectively. These changes in FENa were associated with effective renal blood flows (ERBF) of 1.43 +/- 0.20, 1.49 +/- 0.23, and 1.99 +/- 0.40 ml.min-1.g kidney wt-1, respectively. Similarly, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was 0.53 +/- 0.10, 0.71 +/- 0.10, and 0.72 +/- 0.14 ml.min-1.g kidney wt-1, respectively. Treatment with indomethacin, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor, significantly lowered FENa to 0.45 +/- 0.13, 0.77 +/- 0.21, and 1.19 +/- 0.59% at RPP of 91, 121, and 146 mmHg, respectively. Additionally, indomethacin treatment lowered ERBF (0.51 +/- 0.15, 0.52 +/- 0.10, and 0.85 +/- 0.21 ml.min-1.g kidney wt-1) and GFR (0.28 +/- 0.09, 0.34 +/- 0.09, and 0.47 +/- 0.09 ml.min-1.g kidney wt-1) at low, middle, and high RPP, respectively. PGE2 replacement (n = 6) into renal artery at 0.01 microgram.min-1.kg body wt-1 returned FENa, ERBF, and GFR to control levels over the same range of RPP, whereas prostacyclin (PGI2) infusion (n = 7) at the same dose did not. RIHP was 4.2 +/- 1.2, 4.2 + 0.5, and 7.5 +/- 1.7 mmHg with increasing RPP in control untreated group and increased to similar levels with indomethacin treatment and during PGE2 or PGI2 replacement.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The present study was designed to determine whether atrial appendectomy would decrease the sodium excretion associated with pressor doses of arginine vasopressin (AVP) infusion in rats by decreasing circulating levels of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF). Ten to 21 days after either sham (n = 9) or bilateral atrial appendectomy (n = 13) AVP (19 ng.kg-1.min-1) was infused for 90 min in anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats. Atrial appendectomy decreased circulating ANF levels from 469 +/- 70 pg/ml in sham-operated animals to 259 +/- 50 pg/ml (P less than 0.05) in atrial-appendectomized animals after 90 min of AVP infusion. Despite a reduction in circulating levels of ANF, sodium excretion, potassium excretion, and urine flow increased and were not affected by bilateral atrial appendectomy. Glomerular filtration rate and mean arterial pressure significantly increased in both groups of rats. The present study supports non-ANF factors such as increases in renal perfusion pressure and/or glomerular filtration rate as potential mechanisms in AVP-induced natriuresis.

The renal responses to changes in perfusion pressure (RPP) were studied in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) to determine whether an abnormality in the pressure-diuresis phenomenon could be involved in the resetting of kidney function in hypertension. Differences in the neural and endocrine background to the kidneys were minimized by denervating the kidney and by holding plasma vasopressin, aldosterone, corticosterone, and norepinephrine levels constant by intravenous infusion. In WKY, increasing renal perfusion pressure 54 mmHg, from 103 to 157 mmHg, produced a ninefold increase in urine flow and sodium excretion with no measurable change in renal blood flow (RBF) or glomerular filtration rate (GFR). In SHR, increasing renal perfusion pressure 54 mmHg, from 133 to 187 mmHg, produced only a fourfold increase in urine flow and sodium excretion. GFR, RBF, and peritubular capillary pressures were well autoregulated and were similar in the SHR and WKY at pressures above 110 mmHg. These results indicate the presence of intrinsic changes in the kidney of SHR that enhance fractional tubular reabsorption and impair the pressure-diuresis response. This blunting of the renal pressure-diuresis phenomenon in SHR may represent the functional resetting of the kidney that is necessary for sustained hypertension.

In Okamoto spontaneously hypertensive rats, compared with control Wistar-Kyoto rats, natriuretic and diuretic responses to increases in renal perfusion pressure are attenuated but with acute saline volume expansion they are exaggerated. The extent of elevations in renal interstitial hydrostatic pressure appears to determine the natriuretic and diuretic responses.

The renal responses to changes in renal perfusion pressure (RPP) were compared in Dahl salt-resistant (R) rats and in prehypertensive and hypertensive Dahl salt-sensitive (S) rats to determine whether an abnormality in the pressure diuresis response is involved in the development of this form of hypertension. Possible differences in the neural and endocrine background to the kidney of S and R rats were eliminated by denervating the kidney and by holding plasma levels of vasopressin, aldosterone, corticosterone, and norepinephrine fixed by intravenous infusion. Arterial pressure averaged 124 +/- 1 mmHg in R rats, 133 +/- 1 mmHg in prehypertensive S rats, and 158 +/- 2 mmHg in hypertensive S rats. Control renal blood flows (RBF) and glomerular filtration rates (GFR) were not significantly different in the three groups. RBF was autoregulated over a range of pressures from 80 to 160 mmHg in normotensive S and R rats. GFR was autoregulated at pressures greater than 100 mmHg in R rats and greater than 120 mmHg in prehypertensive S rats. In contrast, RBF was only autoregulated at pressures greater than 110 mmHg in hypertensive Dahl S rats, and GFR was significantly reduced from control when RPP was lowered below 150 mmHg. In R rats, increasing RPP from 100 to 150 mmHg produced a fivefold increase in urine flow and sodium excretion. In prehypertensive or hypertensive Dahl S rats the slopes of the relationships between urine flow, sodium excretion, and RPP were less than half of those seen in R rats.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
