The aim of the current study was to investigate the simultaneous measurement of plasma p-aminohippuric acid (PAH) clearance as a potential marker to assess effective renal plasma flow (eRPF) and tubular secretion (TS), and the plasma clearance of iohexol (IOH) as a marker of the glomerular filtration rate in poultry species. The PAH was administered intravenously (IV) to broiler chickens, layers, turkeys, Muscovy ducks, and pigeons. Each animal received successively a single bolus dose of 10 mg PAH/kg bodyweight (BW) and 100 mg PAH/kg BW to assess the eRPF and TS, respectively. Simultaneously with both PAH administrations, a single IV bolus of 64.7 mg/kg BW of IOH was administered. A high linear correlation (R2 = 0.79) between eRPF, based on the clearance of the low dose of PAH, and BW was observed for the poultry species. The correlation between TS, based on the clearance of the high dose of PAH, and BW was moderate (R2 = 0.50). Finally, a moderate correlation (R2 = 0.68) was demonstrated between GFR and eRPF and between GFR and TS (R2 = 0.56). This presented pharmacokinetic approach of the simultaneous administration of IOH and PAH enabled a simultaneous evaluation of eRPF/TS and GFR, respectively, in different poultry species.

Advantages And Disadvantages

SummaryAn accurate catheter-free technique for clinical determination simultaneouslyof glomerular filtration rate and effective renal plasma flow by means of radioisotopes has been developed. The renal function is estimated by the amount of radioisotopes necessary to maintain a constant concentration in the patient’s blood. The infusion pumps are steered by a feedback system, the pumps being automatically turned on when the radiation measured over the patient’s head falls below a certain preset level and turned off when this level is again readied. 131I-iodopyracet was used for the estimation of effective renal plasma flow and125I-iothalamate estimation of the glomerular filtration rate. These clearances were compared to the conventional bladder clearances and good correlation was found between these two clearance methods (correlation coefficients 0.97 and.90 respectively). The advantages and disadvantages of this new clearance technique are discussed.

Sodium Clearance

1. The effect of a single dose of lithium on renal function before and during intravenous infusion of dopamine (3 μg min−1 kg−1) was investigated in 12 healthy males. In a double-blind and randomized design, 450 mg or 600 mg of lithium carbonate or placebo was administered orally at 22.00 hours on three different occasions. After an overnight fast, the subjects were water-loaded and clearance studies were started at 09.00 hours with a 1 h baseline period and three 1 h periods during dopamine infusion. 2. Baseline sodium clearance with placebo was 0.65 ± 0.35 ml/min, but with lithium it increased to 1.25 ± 0.44 (P < 0.001) and 1.17 ± 0.46 ml/min (P < 0.01) after 450 and 600 mg, respectively. Urine flow rates were unchanged compared with placebo. Lithium did not significantly affect glomerular filtration rate, but both doses slightly increased effective renal plasma flow by 7% (P < 0.05) and 10% (P < 0.01), respectively. 3. The maximal natriuretic and diuretic effects of dopamine were not reduced by lithium, but the percentage increases in sodium clearance were significantly diminished after 450 mg (P < 0.01) and 600 mg (P < 0.001) of lithium. Lithium had no effect on dopamine-induced changes in effective renal plasma flow, glomerular filtration rate or osmolal clearance. Neither lithium nor dopamine influenced plasma concentrations of renin, aldosterone or atrial natriuretic peptide. 4. In conclusion, single test doses of lithium, as normally used in lithium clearance studies, increase baseline values of sodium clearance and effective renal plasma flow. Although these effects of lithium do not reduce the maximal renal responses to low-dose dopamine, they result in an underestimation of the percentage increase in sodium excretion.
