چکیده

The functional characteristics of the ascending limb of Henle's loop were examined during hypotonic saline infusion by measuring solutefree water clearance (C(H2O)) at varying rates of solute delivery. The influence of expansion of extracellular volume was studied by comparing C(H2O) during hypotonic saline diuresis in normal dogs with dogs whose extracellular volume had been expanded acutely by saline infusions or chronically by the administration of deoxycorticosterone acetate and salt. In normal animals hypotonic saline infusions greatly increased urine flow (V) and C(H2O) without appreciably augmenting osmolar clearance (C(osm)). C(H2O) was, therefore, analyzed as a function of V, rather than C(osm), since V was the best estimate of delivery of filtrate to the diluting segment. C(H2O) increased as a linear function of V without any evidence of saturation.The validity of interpreting increases in C(H2O) and V as indications of increased sodium reabsorption and delivery was reinforced by tissue studies that disclosed a rise in papillary osmolality with rising urine flows. The observed increase in C(H2O) and V could not, therefore, be due to a decrease in back diffusion of solute-free water as a result of a diminished osmotic driving force, but probably represented increased formation consequent to augmented delivery as a result of decreased fractional reabsorption in the proximal tubule. In animals whose extracellular volume was acutely or chronically overexpanded before the infusion of hypotonic saline, sodium excretion was greater, and C(H2O) less, at any given V. Although the curve relating C(H2O) to V was flatter than in the control group, no tubular maximum was observed. The diminished C(H2O) in this group was interpreted to mean that massive expansion of extracellular volume inhibits sodium reabsorption in the ascending limb of Henle's loop.

Influence of volume expansion on NaC1 reabsorption in the diluting segments of the nephron: a study using clearance methods.

Whether volume expansion influences NaC1 reabsorption by the diluting segment of the nephron remains a matter of controversy. In the present studies this question has been examined in normal unanesthetized dogs, undergoing maximal water diuresis. Free water clearance (CH2O/GFR) has been used as the index of NaC1 reabsorption in the diluting segment. Three expressions have been employed for "dis...

Demonstration of a hormonal inhibitor of proximal tubular reabsorption during expansion of extracellular volume with isotonic saline.

Evidence for the elaboration of a hormonal inhibitor of renal tubular reabsorption in response to expansion of extracellular fluid volume was obtained by examining the effects of plasma from rats and dogs undergoing saline diuresis on the rate of proximal tubular reabsorption measured both directly by micropuncture techniques and indirectly by clearance techniques. Intravenous infusion of plasm...

Background: Diabetic nephropathy is one of the causes of end stage renal diseases (ESRD). Increase of IGF-1(insulin like growth factor) and GH (growth hormone) in diabetes induce kidney lesions especially Intraglomerular mesangial expansion, glomerular sclerosis and finally nephron dysfunction. In this research, IGF-1 and GH production inhibition by octreotide and sclerosis inhibition assessed ...
