[Activity of kidney tissue enzymes in phenylhydrazine anemia and post-transfusion polycythemia]. 1977

E B Levi, and I K Kletina

The activity of hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphoric dehydrogenase, lactic dehydrogenase, succinic dehydrogenase, acid and alkaline phosphatases was determined in the rat kidney tissue with phenylhydrazine anemia and posttransfusion polycytemia. The blood supply of the cortical and medullary layers of the kidneys was studied at the same time. The purpose of this work was to ascertain possible connections between the changes in the activity of the enzymes under study with the renal erythropoietin producing function of the kidneys. The blood supply of the kidneys of rats with phenylhydrazine anemia was sharply decreased, but it was markedly elevated in case of posttransfusion polycytemia. There were no significant changes in the activity of the mentioned enzymes. These data suggest that the activity of the kidney enzymes is not a controlling factor in the renal erythropoietin production.
