Ten cases of idiopathic acute renal failure (IARF) in idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (NS) were reported. Heavy proteinuria and severe edema were the main clinical manifestations in these cases. Sudden oliguria, decrease of urinary osmolarity and increase of blood urea nitrogen and creatinine occurred without any difinite cause. Pathological examination showed normal or near normal glomeruli, diffuse interstitial edema and patchy necrosis of the tubular cells. The renal function in all the patients recovered after therapy with diuretics, prednisone, etc. It is shown that IARF in idiopathic NS commonly occurred in patients with normal or near normal glomeruli, for example, minimal change disease (6/10 cases), mild mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (4/10 cass). The incidence of IARF in idiopathic NS was 4.1% (10/245 cases), the IARF was mostly reversible.

Haloanilines are commonly used as chemical intermediates in the manufacture of a wide range of products. The purpose of this study was to examine the in vivo nephrotoxic and hepatotoxic potentials of the 3-haloanilines. The in vitro effects of the 3-haloanilines on renal function were also examined. In the in vivo experiments, male Fischer 344 rats (four rats/group) were administered a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of an aniline hydrochloride (1.0 or 1.25 mmol kg-1) or vehicle. Renal and hepatic function were monitored at 24 and/or 48 h post-treatment. None of the 3-haloanilines were potent nephrotoxicants at either dose level. The greatest effects on renal function were observed following administration of 3-chloroaniline at a dose of 1.25 mmol kg-1 (oliguria, glucosuria, hematuria, decreased p-aminohippurate accumulation by renal cortical slices and increased blood urea nitrogen concentration). 3-Chloroaniline also was the only aniline compound to increase plasma ALT/GPT activity at 48 h. In the in vitro experiments, the ability of an aniline (10(-5) - 10(-3) M) to decrease organic ion accumulation in renal cortical slices from untreated rats was examined. The decreasing order of in vitro nephrotoxic potential was 3-iodoaniline > 3-bromoaniline > 3-chloroaniline > aniline > 3-fluoroaniline. These results indicate that the 3-haloanilines are not potent nephrotoxicants or hepatotoxicants at sublethal doses. In addition, the reasons why the 3-haloanilines have different orders of nephrotoxic potential in vivo and in vitro are not clear at this time.

A 78-year-old man was hospitalized because of muscular weakness and acute renal failure. He had been taking glycyrrhizin (280 mg/day) for the last 7 years. Hypertension was noted in his history. Serum potassium was 1.9 mEq/l with metabolic alkalosis. There was hyporeninemic hypoaldosteronism. Serum enzymes, including GOT, LDH and CPK were markedly elevated. In addition, serum myoglobin was as high as 46 micrograms/ml with massive myoglobinuria. Oliguria occurred and blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine rapidly elevated from 20.9 to 87 mg/dl and from 1.3 to 6.7 mg/dl, respectively. Profound calcium deposition was found in the damaged skeletal muscles, including the quadriceps femoris, axillar, neck, and cardiac muscles. These results indicate that licorice-induced pseudoaldosteronism produces hypokalemic rhabdomyolysis, resulting in acute renal failure and profound deposition of calcium into the damaged skeletal and cardiac muscles.

Oliguria is infrequently viewed as a complication of laparoscopic surgery. The rate of urine output in six healthy patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery was measured during the period of CO2 pneumoperitoneum and for several hours after desufflation. The average hourly urine output during insufflation was 0.30 +/- 0.14 mL/kg despite an average hourly intravenous infusion rate of lactated Ringer's solution of 13.0 +/- 4.0 mL/kg. After release of pneumoperitoneum, urine output increased 467% to 1.7 +/- 1.1 mL/kg per hour. Patients remained hemodynamically unchanged perioperatively. Preoperative and postoperative blood urea nitrogen and creatinine concentrations did not significantly differ. We discuss the potential etiologic factors in the development of oliguria in the setting of the increased intra-abdominal pressure of pneumoperitoneum and the implications of this acute but reversible renal dysfunction.

The relationship between the perfusion flow, the mean arterial pressure (MAP) and the urine flow rate during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and the effect of oliguria developed during CPB on the postoperative renal dysfunction were studied prospectively in 69 open heart surgery patients. The MAP, the perfusion flow and the urine flow rate were monitored every five minutes during the first 45 minutes after the commencement of CPB and after the removal of the aortic cross clamp (AX). The serum creatinine (Cr), creatinine clearance (CCr) and blood urea nitrogen were measured before operation, as well as on the first, second and third postoperative days. The dosage of catecholamines and diuretics used and the duration of intubation and hospitalization in the intensive care unit were also recorded. The urine flow rate correlated with MAP much better than the perfusion flow during CPB (r = 0.4768, p < 0.0001). The urine flow rate and MAP decreased significantly after the initiation of CPB and after the release of the AX; however, oliguria developed only during the first 30 minutes of CPB. There were no differences in postoperative Cr, postoperative CCr, doses of catecholamines or diuretics, and the duration of intubation between patients with or without development of oliguria during CPB. Parameters measured during CPB could not predict CCr during the first three postoperative days. We conclude that it is MAP rather than perfusion flow which correlates with the urine flow rate during CPB. Periods of oliguria during CPB did not correlate with or help in the prediction of the development of postoperative renal dysfunction.

An 80-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus was treated with gliclazide. Prior to the gliclazide administration, her urinary excretion of albumin, serum urea nitrogen and serum creatinine were normal. After the medication, oliguria, edema and azotemia developed. On the twenty-fourth day when the edema was severe and generalized, gliclazide administration was terminated. On the following day urinary volume increased suddenly (5,740 ml/day). Polyuria persisted for five days. Edema improved and urea nitrogen and creatinine were normalized thereafter. Though the mechanism is not known, the clinical course suggests that gliclazide is the principal causative factor in the water retention and azotemia in this patient.

Interleukin-2 (IL-2)-based therapy induces a vascular leak syndrome (VLS), manifested by hypotension, tachycardia, and oliguria, as is also seen with septic shock. The optimal method for treating such VLS is not known. A prospective randomized trial was undertaken to compare crystalloid and colloid fluid resuscitation for patients receiving bolus IL-2-based therapy for metastatic cancer. All patients received maintenance crystalloid fluid administration and were randomized to receive crystalloid (0.9% normal saline) or colloid (5% human serum albumin) fluid boluses to maintain acceptable vital signs and urine output. Patients refractory to fluid boluses were given dopamine for oliguria and/or phenylephrine for hypotension. Of 107 patients who completed one cycle of therapy on study, 76 completed a full treatment course (two cycles) on study. The total number of saline and albumin fluid boluses given were 9.5 +/- 0.9 versus 7.7 +/- 0.7 (p = 0.36, n = 107) for the first cycle and 19.2 +/- 1.8 versus 16.1 +/- 1.6 (p = 0.33, n = 76) for a complete course, respectively. Although patients receiving saline boluses had significantly more oliguria during a course of therapy, weight gain, number of IL-2 doses, tachycardia, hypotension, vasopressor use, hospital stay, and clinical response rates did not significantly differ between arms. Changes in hematocrit, hemoglobin, protein, albumin, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine were analyzed, and patients receiving crystalloid showed greater decreases in albumin (p < 0.0001) and total protein (p < 0.05) as expected. A 40-fold greater cost associated with albumin suggested that crystalloid resuscitation be used to treat the VLS associated with IL-2 therapy.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

18 critically ill patients, with multiple organ failure (MOF) (from shock either septic, n = 15, or cardiogenic, n = 3), oliguria and increase in BUN and creatinine were treated with pump driven, high flux continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH). Replacement fluids were administered in predilution mode. All patients were under respiratory support and vasoactive drugs, and received early nutritional support (N input: 0.2-0.3 g/kg/day). Mean duration of treatment was 9.2 days and mean ultrafiltrate production was 21.4 l/day; treatment resulted in a significant reduction of both urea nitrogen and creatinine blood levels (-20 and -40% of initial values respectively) in spite of a very severe catabolism. The total amount of urea nitrogen removed through CVVH ranged from 15 to 73 g/day (mean 33.5), the median value of urea nitrogen clearance was 12.8 ml/min with a median ultrafiltration coefficient of 0.8. The mean duration of hemofilters was 69 hours (38-108); the efficacy of filters remained stable throughout the entire lifespan and changes were made in case of sudden decrease of ultrafiltration (< ml/min). No major complication was observed in over than 4000 hours of treatment. Pump driven, high flux CVVH proved effective in the control of water electrolyte balance and metabolic homeostasis in a group of critically ill, hemodynamically unstable, catabolic patients with MOF and acute renal failure. In no case we had to add intermittent hemodialysis or to use hemodiafiltration. The constant extracorporeal blood flow and the stable efficacy of hemofilters allowed an easy control of the overall effectiveness of this technique.

The influence of acetylcysteine (ac-cys) on cisplatin (CP) nephrotoxicity was investigated in female Wistar rats. Administration of 0.6 mg CP 100 g-1 body wt. was followed by oliguria and proteinuria, as well as a significant increase of blood urea nitrogen concentration. The i.p. administration of 0.6 mg CP 100 g-1 body wt. concomitantly with 100 mg ac-cys 100 g-1 body wt. s.c. completely abolished the nephrotoxic effects of CP. However, following this, the Pt concentration in kidney was decreased significantly by ac-cys treatment. This was caused by the enhanced urinary excretion of Pt. The same effect on CP nephrotoxicity appeared when CP and ac-cys were dissolved together in solution prior to injection. It could be shown that in this solution a ligand exchange reaction of CP by ac-cys started immediately, resulting in increased renal excretion and decreased Pt concentration in kidney. From our results we concluded that the protective effect of ac-cys on CP nephrotoxicity is based on the formation of a complex unsuitable for tubular reabsorption.

Recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) can produce impairment of renal function with hypotension, fluid retention, elevated blood urea nitrogen, oliguria and low fractional sodium excretion; these side-effects are a common cause of reduction or interruption of rIL-2 infusion. The aim of this study was to investigate the control and treatment of renal toxicity induced by rIL-2 therapy. Here we show that dopamine, at a low dose of 2 micrograms/kg/min, completely prevented renal toxicity induced by rIL-2. While continuing rIL-2 therapy, 24-h continuous infusion of low-dose dopamine produced a rapid normalisation of urine output and a significant decrease in serum creatinine levels and body weight (P < 0.01), with an early and complete recovery of the rIL-2--impaired renal function: mean recovery time of renal function in patients treated with dopamine was significantly lower (P < 0.05) than in nontreated patients (4.8 days vs. 10 days, respectively).
