Effect of dehydration on renal blood flow in dog. 1977

A Kirkebo, and I Tyssebotn

The effect of dehydration on intrarenal blood flow was investigated in 11 dogs, using polarographic determination of H2-gas desaturation for measuring local blood flow in inner cortex (ICF) and outer cortex (OCF). Dehydration was induced by 48 h water deprivation +2-300 mg ethacrynic acid (EA) per os the day before the experiment. Compared to a control group (n=9) ICF was markedly reduced to 2.40 +/- 0.47 ml/min X g (control 3.23 +/- 0.64) whereas OCF 3.29 +/- 0.80 ml/min X g was nearly unchanged (control 3.59 +/- 0.85). The ratio OCF/ICF was increased to 1.37 (1.11). Further dehydration by hypertonic peritoneal dialysis for 3 h increased Hct to 60 +/- 4 and further reduced OCF and ICF, without significant change of the OCF/ICF-ratio. At Hct above 55 sudden and intermittent changes in local cortical blood flow were recorded randomly at individual electrode sites, showing ischemic periods lasting for 1 to 60 min. Such flow changes were observed in 13 of 14 expts. and were not accompanied by changes in RBF. It is concluded that moderate dehydration causes a greater reduction of ICF than of OCF. Severe dehydration gives in addition rise to patchy, intermittent ischemia in both cortical layers.

D004285	Dogs	The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065)	Canis familiaris,Dog
D004976	Ethacrynic Acid	A compound that inhibits symport of sodium, potassium, and chloride primarily in the ascending limb of Henle, but also in the proximal and distal tubules. This pharmacological action results in excretion of these ions, increased urinary output, and reduction in extracellular fluid. This compound has been classified as a loop or high ceiling diuretic.
