Bicarbonate reabsorption in chronic renal failure. 1976

J A Arrud, and T Carrasquillo, and A Cubria, and D R Rademacher, and N A Kurtzman

Bicarbonate reabsorption was studied in dogs before and after induction of renal failure, produced by infarction of one kidney and removal of the contralateral kidney. Glomerular filtration rate and renal plasma flow decreased to 21 and 37% of control values, respectively. Fractional potassium excretion and fractional phosphate excretion increased significantly. Volume expansion resulted in a significant decrease of bicarbonate reabsorption in both control and uremic groups. At comparable levels of fractional chloride excretion, bicarbonate reabsorption was significantly higher in renal failure than in control animals. In the second group of dogs, following induction of renal failure, sodium bicarbonate was given orally in an amount sufficient to neutralize endogenous acid production. Bicarbonate reabsorption was again significantly higher than in control animals. Thyroparathyroidectomy had no effect on bicarbonate reabsorption. Absolute bicarbonate reabsorption and sodium reabsorption were lineraly related in control animals and in those in renal failure; the ratio of absolute bicarbonate reabsorption/abolute sodium reabsorption was significantly higher in renal failure than in control. These data demonstrate that renal failure is associated with enhanced bicarbonate reabsorption which is not related to the state of extracellular volume, the need to increase acid excretion or the concentrations of parathyroid hormone. These findings suggest that there are additional unknown factors controlling bicarbonate reabsorption in renal failure.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D010710 Phosphates Inorganic salts of phosphoric acid. Inorganic Phosphate,Phosphates, Inorganic,Inorganic Phosphates,Orthophosphate,Phosphate,Phosphate, Inorganic
D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
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
D005260 Female Females
D005919 Glomerular Filtration Rate The volume of water filtered out of plasma through glomerular capillary walls into Bowman's capsules per unit of time. It is considered to be equivalent to INULIN clearance. Filtration Rate, Glomerular,Filtration Rates, Glomerular,Glomerular Filtration Rates,Rate, Glomerular Filtration,Rates, Glomerular Filtration
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.

D001639 Bicarbonates Inorganic salts that contain the -HCO3 radical. They are an important factor in determining the pH of the blood and the concentration of bicarbonate ions is regulated by the kidney. Levels in the blood are an index of the alkali reserve or buffering capacity.
