LEVY, MATTHEW N. AND ELIAS S. IMPERIAL. Oxygen shunting in renal cortical and medullary cajGzrie.s. Am. J. Physiol. 200(l) : 159-162. 1961. -The existence of shunting of oxygen from arterial to venous segments of the renal capillary bed was ascertained from densitometer tracings of renal venous blood after the injection into the renal artery of blood of high oxygen tension and containing optically labeled erythrocytes. The outer region of the renal cortex was functionally separated from the medulla plus inner cortex by means of regional hypothermia. There was observed no consistent exaggeration or attenuation of the diphasic character of the renal densitometer tracing characteristic of oxygen shunting by cooling either the superficial or deeper zones of the kidney. It is concluded that shunting of oxygen occurs in both the renal cortex and medulla, but the degree to which it occurs in each zone cannot be quantified from the present data.

متن کاملDiffusive oxygen shunting between vessels in the preglomerular renal vasculature: anatomic observations and computational modeling.
To understand how geometric factors affect arterial-to-venous (AV) oxygen shunting, a mathematical model of diffusive oxygen transport in the renal cortex was developed. Preglomerular vascular geometry was investigated using light microscopy (providing vein shape, AV separation, and capillary density near arteries) and published micro-computed tomography (CT) data (providing vessel size and AV ...
متن کاملRenal oxygenation: preglomerular vasculature is an unlikely contributor to renal oxygen shunting.
The primary aim of this study was to assess the plausibility of preglomerular arterial-to-venous oxygen shunting in the kidney. To this end, we have developed a segment-wise three-dimensional computational model that takes into account transport processes in arteries, veins, cortical tissue, and capillaries. Our model suggests that the amount of preglomerular oxygen shunting is negligible. Cons...

متن کاملA mathematical model of diffusional shunting of oxygen from arteries to veins in the kidney.
To understand how arterial-to-venous (AV) oxygen shunting influences kidney oxygenation, a mathematical model of oxygen transport in the renal cortex was created. The model consists of a multiscale hierarchy of 11 countercurrent systems representing the various branch levels of the cortical vasculature. At each level, equations describing the reactive-advection-diffusion of oxygen are solved. F...
