The energy metabolism of kidney and renal function were studied in rats following an IV injection of living Escherichia coli. Energy charge (ATP + 0.5 ADP/ATP + ADP + AMP) decreased throughout the period studied. Total and ouabain-sensitive Na-K ATPase activity of renal cortex homogenate decreased markedly at 3 hr followed by gradual recovery. Polyulia was seen at 3 and 6 hr followed by oliguria at 12 hr after E. coli injection. PSP excretion test showed a marked decrease throughout the time course. In contrast, creatinine clearance decreased only at 12 hr. From these results, it was clarified that the renal insufficiency following bacteremia occurs in two different stages; the early stage with a high urinary output accompanied by decreased Na-K ATPase activity suggesting deterioration of proximal tubular functions and the late stage with oliguria in which glomerular filtration is severely depressed. In both stages, renal energy metabolism is markedly disturbed.

Plasma digitalis-like factors (DLF), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) and cortisol were assayed in 20 healthy subjects, 22 dialysis dependent subjects and 30 patients with kidney transplants. DLF were assayed on plasma extracts by digoxin radioimmunoassay (RIA), and by Na,K-ATPase inhibition and [3H]-ouabain displacement using hogbrain Na,K-ATPase. Values for the 3 methods strongly intercorrelated (r = 0.99, p less than .001). Mean values for plasma DLF, assayed by all three methods, were significantly greater in dialysis dependent subjects, than in healthy subjects (p less than .0001). Mean plasma DLF values measured by digoxin RIA in renal transplant recipients, were significantly lower than in dialysis dependent subjects (p less than 0.0001) and higher than in healthy subjects. Plasma DLF values correlated inversely with creatinine clearance (p less than 0.01). Plasma DHEAS levels were significantly lower and contributed substantially less to digoxin antibody reactivity and ouabain displacement in dialysis subjects and in renal transplants compared with healthy subjects. There was no change in plasma immunoreactive DLF, DHEAS or cortisol measured before and after dialysis. DHEAS is a major digoxin like immunoreactive DLF and a minor Na,K-ATPase inhibitor in healthy subjects but makes only a minor contribution to DLF in dialysis and transplant subjects. We found the assays involving Na,K-ATPase inhibition and [3H]-ouabain displacement from Na,K-ATPase to be more sensitive for plasma DLF than the digoxin RIA, but because of the strong correlation between the methods, we suggest the RIA on plasma extracts can be used as a screening procedure.

Na-K-ATPase activity was determined in seven nephron segments of five-week-old, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) with or without continuous hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) treatment for seven days. For comparison, the effects of HCTZ treatment on Na-K-ATPase activity in the nephron segments of age-matched normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) were also determined. Na-K-ATPase activity in proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), medullary thick ascending limb (MTAL), cortical thick ascending limb (CTAL), distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and cortical collecting duct (CCD) was significantly lower in HCTZ-treated SHR compared to control (untreated) SHR. However, there was no significant difference in Na-K-ATPase activity in proximal straight tubule (PST) and medullary collecting duct (MCD) between HCTZ-treated and control SHR. HCTZ treatment also produced a significant decrease in blood pressure (BP) and creatinine clearance (CCr) in SHR. On the other hand, HCTZ treatment did not produce a significant change in Na-K-ATPase activity in PCT, PST, MTAL, CTAL and MCD, in BP or in CCr in WKY. However, HCTZ treatment produced a decrease in the enzyme activity in the DCT and an increase in the enzyme activity in the CCD in WKY. The decrease in Na-K-ATPase activity in almost all nephron segments from SHR may be due to a significant decrease in CCr produced by HCTZ. On the other hand, a decrease in Na-K-ATPase activity in the DCT with an increase in the enzyme activity in the CCD from WKY suggest that renal compensation to the natriuretic effect of HCTZ occurs by an increase in Na+ reabsorption in the CCD.

Creatinine clearance (Ccr) and renal sodium (Na+) excretion were measured in 10 premature infants (gestational age less than 34 weeks) whose mothers had received dexamethasone before delivery (group D) and in 11 whose mothers were not so treated (control, group C). Babies were studied twice: on days 2-5 (study 1. all infants) and days 6-10 (study 2, six infants in each group). In study 1, absolute and fractional Na+ excretion were significantly lower (P less than 0.01) and urinary K+:Na+ ratio significantly higher (P less than 0.025) in group D than in group C, while Cr did not differ between groups. In study 2, Ccr in group D had increased compared both with values obtained in the same babies in study 1 (P less than 0.05) and with group C babies in study 2 (P less than 0.05), but significant differences between groups in urinary Na+ excretion and urinary K+:Na+ ratio were no longer found. We conclude that exogenous glucocorticoids accelerate maturation of renal function in immature human infants, probably by inducing tubular Na+. K(+)-ATPase activity. Our findings support the view that endogenous glucocorticoid hormones may play an important part in the normal maturation process.

White, male Wistar rats were exposed continuously in chamber during 3 months on volatile organic compounds emitted from set of building and finishing materials used in living areas on ship. The air contamination was checked. The following tests for determination of combined toxic effects were performed: functional activity, the body and organ weights, basic hematological determinations, serum enzyme activity (GOT, GPT, AP, LAP, LDH), serum concentrations of protein, urea, creatinine, bilirubin, lipids, cholesterol, triglycerides, and in the liver mitochondria Mg+2(-)-ATPase, concentration of cholesterol, phospholipids, and liver function after loading with benzoate. After 3 months of the exposure we observed changes in AP and LDH activities, and decrease of the concentration of serum triglycerides.

Thyroxine (T4) protects against ischemic and nephrotoxic experimental acute renal failure (ARF). This study examined functional, biochemical, and morphological markers of uranyl nitrate (UN)-induced renal injury in the rat to determine the cellular site at which T4 exerts its protective effect. In experimental group UNT4, 1-thyroxine (10 micrograms/100 g body wt) was given for 10 days prior to and for 4 days following a single subcutaneous injection of UN (0.5 mg/kg body wt). Group UN received only UN, and group CT4 received only T4 for 14 days. Five days after UN administration, plasma creatinine rose from base line in group UNT4 (0.52 +/- 0.30 to 0.84 +/- 0.08 mg/dl, P less than 0.025) and group UN (0.52 +/- 0.03 to 1.64 +/- 0.13 mg/dl, P less than 0.001) but not in group CT4 (0.47 +/- 0.02 to 0.48 +/- 0.04 mg/dl, NS). However, plasma creatinine in group UNT4 was significantly lower than group UN (0.84 +/- 0.08 vs. 1.64 +/- 0.13 mg/dl, P less than 0.001). T4 administration stimulated the basolateral membrane-bound enzyme Na-K-ATPase in the renal cortex homogenate in group UNT4 (13.9 +/- 0.5 micron X mg protein-1 X h-1, P less than 0.005) and group CT4 (16.3 +/- 0.6 micron X mg protein-1 X h-1, P less than 0.001) when compared with controls (11.7 +/- 0.5 micron X mg protein-1 X h-1). Na-K-ATPase activity fell in group UN to 10.0 +/- 0.6 micron X mg protein-1 X h-1 (P less than 0.025).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Common bile duct ligation (CBDL) in rats was used to induce liver disease and secondary kidney damage. The biochemical changes in the liver, kidney and plasma were studied at 3, 6, 10 and 21 days post CBDL. The observed alterations climaxed at the 6th day following ligation. Renal, activities of aldolase (ALD), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), isocitric dehydrogenase (ICDH), sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), were lowered in CBDL rats. Further, microsomal Na,K-ATPase and Mg-ATPase and mitochondrial oxidative-phosphorylation were inhibited. In the liver from CBDL rats the activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Mg-ATPase and ALP were elevated, while SDH, ALD, malic dehydrogenase (MDH), LDH, malic enzyme (ME) and Na,K-ATPase were lowered. Plasma enzymes, AST, ALP, MDH, LDH, ALD, acid phosphatase (ACP) and ICDH and the metabolites bile acids, bilirubin, creatinine and urea were elevated. Addition of bile acids or bilirubin at concentrations comparable to those found in the plasma of CBDL rats, to the reaction mixture of the various enzymes strongly inhibited most, particularly mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. High concentrations of these substances in the blood may explain the development of renal failure during liver disease and its reversibility when liver function returns to normal.

The effects of chlorpromazine, an agent with inhibitory effects of calcium influx, phospholipase activation, and Na-K-ATPase, on preserving renal function and proximal tubular ultrastructure were evaluated in renal ischemia. After right nephrectomy chlorpromazine (0.025 mg) or 1 ml of 0.9 per cent saline was selectively administered to the rat kidney immediately prior to a sixty-minute occlusion of the remaining renal artery. Pretreatment with chlorpromazine resulted in a significant attenuation in the rise in postischemic serum creatinine. Hypothermia of the kidney during ischemia provided an additional protective effect. Electron microscopic study of the proximal convoluted tubule demonstrated that the structural damage was less severe in chlorpromazine-treated rats and virtually complete preservation of a normal ultrastructure was observed when hypothermia was added.

Fifty-three patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension were treated with enalapril (10-40 mg q.d.) alone, in combination with a fixed dose of hydrochlorothiazide (50 mg/day), or in a randomized cross-over study with varying dosages of hydrochlorothiazide (50, 25, 12.5 mg/day). Normalization of blood pressure was obtained in 47% of the patients after enalapril. In the remaining patients, all except four were normalized by the combination with hydrochlorothiazide. The addition of hydrochlorothiazide was required in six patients who had optimally responded to enalapril during the first three months. In the cross-over study, diastolic blood pressure was maintained below 95 mmHg with all the doses of diuretic used in association with 40 mg enalapril. No adverse metabolic (blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides), renal (creatinine clearance, urinary lysozyme and gamma-GT) or haematological (total and differential counts) effects were observed after long-term treatment for one year with enalapril alone or in combination with hydrochlorothiazide. Blood uric acid decreased significantly after enalapril and tended to increase after the combination with hydrochlorothiazide. Enalapril increased Na/K ATPase activity on erythrocyte membranes thus reducing intracellular sodium and increasing potassium.

25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 1 alpha- and 24-hydroxylase, NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, heme oxygenase, and ATPase activities were studied in viable kidney cells isolated from rats submitted to unilateral kidney damage (cortical electrocoagulation) and during the development of acute renal failure subsequent to excision of the contralateral undamaged kidney. Measurements of blood pH, plasma total and ionized calcium, phosphorus, creatinine, kidney histology, and phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy determinations of phosphorus-containing compounds in kidney tissue were also performed. Seventy-two hours after unilateral kidney damage, no significant changes were observed in blood pH or in the plasma parameters studied. During this period, a significant increase in the activity of the 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 hydroxylases could be demonstrated in the cells of the contralateral undamaged kidney. A similar pattern of compensatory rise in the activity of the other enzymes studied was not detected. However, in the damaged kidney viable cells, the hydroxylase activities remained unchanged relative to those in sham-operated controls, despite a 5-fold increase in the inorganic phosphate content and a marked decrease in the organophosphorus and ATP content of this tissue. During the development of acute renal failure, a significant decrease in the activity of the hydroxylases occurred only when the rise in plasma creatinine concentration suggested severe renal insufficiency.
