چکیده
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common problem in small-animal patients and carries a guarded prognosis with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly in oligoanuric dogs. Fenoldopam, a selective dopamine agonist, has been shown to increase urine output in healthy dogs and cats; however, the mechanism of action is unknown. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of fenoldopam infusion on glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and fractional excretion of sodium (FeNa) in healthy dogs. ANIMALS Ten healthy, privately owned dogs. METHODS Randomized, crossover design with negative control. Ten healthy dogs were given fenoldopam diluted in 5% dextrose (D5W) as a continuous IV infusion of 0.8 μg/kg/min for 5 hours and a control infusion of D5W alone, 7 days apart. Glomerular filtration rate was measured by exogenous iohexol clearance, beginning 1 hour after the start of the fenoldopam infusion. Fractional excretion of sodium (FeNa) was measured before and after the infusion. Glomerular filtration rate and change in FeNa were compared between treatment days. RESULTS Fenoldopam infusion resulted in a significantly increased (P = .0166) GFR (median GFR, 3.33 mL/min/kg) in healthy dogs compared with D5W infusion (median GFR, 2.71 mL/kg/min). Fenoldopam also resulted in a significantly increased (P = .0148) FeNa (mean change, 0.106), whereas infusion of D5W alone did not (mean change, 0.016). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE In healthy dogs, fenoldopam significantly increased GFR and FeNa compared with infusion of D5W alone. No adverse effects were seen.

Effect of prolactin on glomerular filtration rate.
1. The effect of infusion of ovine prolactin was studied in anaesthetized dogs pretreated with bromocryptine to reduce the release of endogenous prolactin. 2. Prolactin, injected intravenously and also directly into one kidney, resulted in a 12--18% increase in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by both kidneys. 3. This increased GFR was not associated with any demonstrable changes in whole-kidne...
متن کاملEffect of volume expansion on sodium excretion in the presence and absence of increased delivery from superficial proximal tubules.
The role of the proximal tubule in the natriuresis after volume expansion was investigated by evaluating sodium excretion both in the presence and absence of increased delivery from the proximal tubule. Proximal delivery was calculated from fractional reabsorption in superficial proximal tubules determined by micropuncture and glomerular filtration rate of the micropunctured kidney. Infusion of...
متن کاملDiuresis and natriuresis during continuous dopamine-1 receptor stimulation.
Stimulation of renal dopamine-1 (DA1) receptors for 3 hours produces an increase in renal plasma flow and sustained natriuresis. The present study was designed to assess the response of renal hemodynamic and tubular function to long-term DA1 receptor stimulation. Fenoldopam, a selective DA1 receptor agonist, was infused intravenously for 24 hours in 10 normal male subjects in metabolic balance ...

The present study was designed to examine the short-term and long-term effects of increased plasma levels of atrial natriuretic peptide on the glomerular filtration rate, sodium excretion, and arterial pressure. Intravenous infusion of synthetic atrial natriuretic peptide (2 micrograms/kg/bolus, 50 ng/kg/min continuous infusion) for 45 minutes in six conscious dogs increased plasma levels of im...

Studies were performed in anesthetized dogs (n = 5) to determine the effects of synthetic atrial natriuretic factor on renal function and renin release. Intrarenal infusion of synthetic atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) (0.3 microgram X kg-1 X min-1) resulted in a transient increase in renal blood flow (126 +/- 8 to 148 +/- 11 ml/min). The duration of this transient vasodilation was 3.1 +/- 0.4 m...
