Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The effect of acute Ang II blockade on renal function in rats with reduced nephron number was assessed in micropuncture studies. The Ang II receptor blocker, losartan, was administered at a dose of 10 mg i.v. at two intervals following five-sixths renal ablation. At eight weeks following ablation, Ang II blockade (Ang IIX) increased sodium excretion [UNa V, Ang IIX 2.2 +/- 0.4 microEq/min; time control (TC) 1.0 +/- 0.3 microEq/min; P < 0.05] but did not reduce mean arterial pressure (AP, Ang IIX 142 +/- 6 mm Hg; TC 151 +/- 6 mmHg), glomerular transcapillary pressure (delta P, Ang IIX 50 +/- 1 mm Hg; TC 50 +/- 1 mm Hg), or urine albumin excretion (UAlb V: Ang IIX 149 +/- 18 micrograms/min; TC 168 +/- 20 micrograms/min). Similarly, at two weeks following ablation, Ang II blockade increased UNa V (Ang IIX 2.8 +/- 0.4 microEq/min; TC 0.5 +/- 0.2 microEq/min; P < 0.05) without reducing AP (Ang IIX 132 +/- 6 mm Hg; TC 140 +/- 7 mm Hg), delta P (Ang IIX 50 +/- 3 mm Hg; TC 48 +/- 2 mm Hg), or UAlb V (Ang IIX 32 +/- 3 micrograms/min; TC 36 +/- 10 micrograms/min). These findings indicate that within the remant kidney, Ang II promotes sodium retention but does not have an acutely reversible effect on glomerular pressure or permselectivity.
