Clinical Syndromes

Myoglobinuric acute renal failure remains one of the least understood clinical syndromes and the mediators involved remain obscure. The aim of the present study was to assess the role of nitric oxide in glycerol-induced acute renal failure under normal conditions and after uninephrectomy. Acute renal failure was induced in rats by injection of 50% glycerol (10 mL·kg-1 body weight). Half of the animals were subjected to uninephrectomy two days before glycerol injection. Two days after the induction of acute renal failure, glomeruli from some animals were isolated and glomerular nitrite production was measured. Another group of animals was used for acute clearance studies. In this case, the effect of infusing either L-NAME or L-arginine was assayed. Glomerular nitrite production was significantly decreased in glycerol-induced acute renal failure. Glomeruli from uninephrectomized animals showed an increase in nitrite production, both in normal conditions and after glycerol injection, as compared with glomeruli from non-nephrectomized animals. L-NAME infusion worsened renal function in all the study groups, but more slowly in animals with glycerol-induced acute renal failure than in control rats. In uninephrectomized animals L-NAME reduced renal function more than in animals with two kidneys. In conclusion, in this model of acute renal failure the decrease in glomerular nitric oxide production plays an important role in the decrease in renal function. After uninephrectomy, an increase in glomerular nitric oxide synthesis plays a protective role against glycerol-induced acute renal failure.Key words: acute renal failure, nitric oxide, glycerol, glomeruli.
