Increased severity of the acute renal failure induced by HgCl2 on rats with reduced renal mass. 1979

B Ramos-Frendo, and R Pérez-Garcia, and J M López-Novoa, and L Hernando-Avendaño

In rats unilaterally nephrectomized 2 days before and sham operated controls, an acute fenal failure (ARF) has been induced by subcutaneous HgCl2 injection. The uninephrectomized animals showed a more severe ARF than the sham operated, 60% of the former and 10% of the controls became anuric 48 hours after ARF induction. The increased diuresis and natriuresis produced by acute saline overload did not improve the severity of the ARF. The marked difference in the evolution of this model of ARF with respect to the glycerol induced ARF, which is ameliorated by reduction of renal mass, emphasizes the different pathogenetic mechanism of these two experimental models.

D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D008628 Mercury A silver metallic element that exists as a liquid at room temperature. It has the atomic symbol Hg (from hydrargyrum, liquid silver), atomic number 80, and atomic weight 200.59. Mercury is used in many industrial applications and its salts have been employed therapeutically as purgatives, antisyphilitics, disinfectants, and astringents. It can be absorbed through the skin and mucous membranes which leads to MERCURY POISONING. Because of its toxicity, the clinical use of mercury and mercurials is diminishing.
