Effects of prolonged anesthesia with enflurane or halothane on renal function in dogs. 1981

I Wickström, and T Stefansson

Elevated serum inorganic fluoride levels (60-300 mumol/l), maintained over 6 h, influenced renal function in beagle dogs. Changes in water reabsorption were seen with an increased urine flow and free water clearance and decreased urinary concentration capacity. Possible nephrotoxicity as an effect of inorganic fluoride production during prolonged enflurane anesthesia was evaluated in a group of beagle dogs. Another group of dogs, anesthetized with halothane in equianesthetic doses, was studied for comparison. Serum inorganic fluoride levels and urinary oxalate excretion were determined and postanesthetic renal morphology was examined. Renal function was evaluated from endogenous clearances and concentration capacity before and after anesthesia. In the enflurane group, serum inorganic fluoride levels peaked at 22.5 mumol/l at the end of anesthesia and decreased rapidly in the postanesthetic period. Urinary oxalate excretion did not increase. No changes in renal morphology were found. Renal function tests did not reveal any disturbance after enflurane anesthesia. The two anesthetized groups did not differ in any of the parameters studied, except in serum inorganic fluoride levels.

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
D004737	Enflurane	An extremely stable inhalation anesthetic that allows rapid adjustments of anesthesia depth with little change in pulse or respiratory rate.	Alyrane,Enfran,Enlirane,Ethrane,Etran
D005459	Fluorides	Inorganic salts of hydrofluoric acid, HF, in which the fluorine atom is in the -1 oxidation state. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed) Sodium and stannous salts are commonly used in dentifrices.	Fluoride
D006221	Halothane	A nonflammable, halogenated, hydrocarbon anesthetic that provides relatively rapid induction with little or no excitement. Analgesia may not be adequate. NITROUS OXIDE is often given concomitantly. Because halothane may not produce sufficient muscle relaxation, supplemental neuromuscular blocking agents may be required.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D019815	Oxalic Acid	A strong dicarboxylic acid occurring in many plants and vegetables. It is produced in the body by metabolism of glyoxylic acid or ascorbic acid. It is not metabolized but excreted in the urine. It is used as an analytical reagent and general reducing agent.
