چکیده

We have previously shown that systemic treatment with the somatostatin analog octreotide has marked beneficial effects on renal function in rats with liver cirrhosis induced by common bile duct ligation (CBL; Jonassen TEN, Christensen S, Sørensen AM, Marcussen N, Flyvbjerg A, Andreasen F, and Petersen JS. Hepatology 29: 1387-1395, 1999). In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that octreotide has a direct effect on renal tubular function. Rats (CBL or Sham-CBL) were intrarenally treated with low-dose octreotide in a long-acting release formulation, which had no systemic actions (100 microg/kg body wt as a single dose). Rats receiving low-dose octreotide (sc) were used as controls. The rats were chronically instrumented, and renal function was examined 4 wk after CBL or Sham-CBL. Intrarenal octreotide administration (IROA) prevented sodium retention in CBL rats without changes in renal plasma flow, glomerular filtration rate, or circulating levels of aldosterone and vasopressin. Renal clearance studies revealed that IROA normalized the increased natriuretic efficacy of furosemide found in CBL rats. Furthermore, IROA protected against the development of hypertrophy of the inner stripe of the outer medulla and thereby the increased the volume of thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (TAL) epithelium found in CBL rats. Finally, Western blot analyses of outer medullary homogenates showed increased abundance of the furosemide-sensitive Na-K-2Cl (NKCC2) cotransporter. IROA did not affect the abundance of NCKK2 within the outer medulla. Together with the histological findings, these results indicate that IROA reduces the total number of NKCC2 within the outer medulla. In conclusion, the results indicate a direct intrarenal effect of octreotide on TAL function and morphology in cirrhotic rats.

Solute-free water retention in preascitic cirrhotic rats following intravenous water loading.

Increased extracellular fluid volume (ECF) characterizes compensated cirrhosis. To identify the mechanisms of fluid retention in cirrhosis through clearance methods, 10 control and 10 preascitic rats with CCl(4)-induced cirrhosis were studied following i.v. loading with 1 ml 5% glucose solution. Glomerular filtration rate and renal plasma flow were evaluated through inulin and para-aminohippura...

Aldosterone receptor blockade inhibits increased furosemide-sensitive sodium reabsorption in rats with liver cirrhosis.

We examined the role of chronic aldosterone receptor blockade on the altered furosemide-sensitive sodium reabsorption in rats with liver cirrhosis induced by common bile duct ligation. CBL and sham-operated control animals were treated with the aldosterone receptor antagonist canrenoate (20 mg/day i.v.) for 4 weeks. Untreated CBL and sham-CBL served as control groups. The plasma concentration o...

Cyclooxygenase inhibitors increase Na-K-2Cl cotransporter abundance in thick ascending limb of Henle's loop.

Cyclooxygenase inhibitors, such as indomethacin and diclofenac, have well-described effects to enhance renal water reabsorption and urinary concentrating ability. Concentrating ability is regulated in part at the level of the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop, where active NaCl absorption drives the countercurrent multiplication mechanism. We used semiquantitative immunoblotting to test the ...

Losartan treatment normalizes renal sodium and water handling in rats with mild congestive heart failure.

This study was designed to examine the effect of losartan treatment on renal tubular function in rats with mild congestive heart failure (CHF) induced by ligation of the left anterior descending artery. In rats with CHF, there was a significant decrease in daily sodium excretion, which caused sodium retention relative to control rats. Renal function studies revealed that glomerular filtration r...
