Water Clearance

The role of bicarbonate reabsorption and of transtubular chloride gradients in the bulk reabsorption of sodium and water by renal tubules can be tested in the isolated perfused kidney by perfusing with a medium from which bicarbonate has been omitted. Perfusion of the isolated rat kidney with an artificial medium in which bicarbonate is replaced by chloride results in a fall in fractional reabsorption of sodium from 97 to 84%. Stepwise restoration of bicarbonate concentration in the perfusion medium to 25 meq/liter is associated with a parallel recovery of sodium reabsorption to control levels. Inhibition of bicarbonate reabsorption with acetazolamide produces a slightly smaller reduction in sodium reabsorption (97-89%), an effect not seen in the absence of bicarbonate. Acetazolamide greatly increases phosphate excretion and free water clearance in a way consistent with suppression of proximal tubular reabsorption. By contrast, simple omission of bicarbonate from the perfusing medium does not alter phosphaturia or free water clearance. Reabsorption of bicarbonate appears to account for a fraction of sodium reabsorption roughly equivalent to the proportion of sodium associated stoichiometrically with bicarbonate in the glomerule filtrate. The data do not support the hypothesis that the development of a transtubular chloride gradient is critically important for the reabsorption of a large fraction of the glomerular filtrate.
