1. A model of controlled hypoxia in the isolated perfused rat kidney has been used to compare the extent of reduction in the steady-state level of adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) from that initially observed with alterations in renal function and with the development of tubular cell injury. 2. ATP depletion was observed in response to decreased total oxygen delivery even when delivery greatly exceeded consumption and the venous oxygen tension remained in excess of 150 mmHg. 3. Increases in the fractional excretion of sodium occurred progressively below an apparent threshold value of whole kidney ATP of approximately 80% of the baseline. 4. With modestly decreased oxygen delivery, cellular injury was confined to deep proximal tubule and medullary thick ascending limb of Henle's loop. Severely decreased oxygen delivery rates were associated with cellular damage spreading throughout the cortex. 5. Even the smallest reductions in whole kidney ATP were associated with morphological damage to tubular cells. The extent of reduction in whole kidney ATP was closely correlated and approximately equivalent to the calculated volume of injured cells. 6. Our results indicate that reduction in whole kidney ATP during decreased oxygen delivery is a valid marker of the extent of injurious cellular hypoxia and are consistent with the view that cellular ATP concentrations in hypoxia are markedly inhomogeneous. They support the hypothesis that specific regions of the perfused kidney become critically hypoxic and develop cellular injury while overall oxygen delivery remains high. Areas at risk include deep proximal tubule as well as the medullary thick ascending limb of Henle's loop.

ABSTRACT The isolated perfused rat kidney was used to study the effects of amino-terminal fragments of human parathyroid hormone, hPTH(1–34), bovine parathyroid hormone, bPTH(1–84) and of PTH-related proteins, PTHrP(1–34), PTHrP(1–84), PTHrP(1–108) and PTHrP(1–141) on urinary bicarbonate excretion. PTHrP(1–34) (7 nmol/l), bPTH(1–84) (5·5 nmol/l) and hPTH(1–34) (7 nmol/l) had similar effects in increasing bicarbonate excretion with respect to the control. At lower concentrations (0·7 nmol/l) all PTHrP components, but not hPTH(1–34) or bPTH(1–84) increased bicarbonate excretion significantly. Infusions of PTHrP(1–108) and PTHrP(1–141) at 0·7 nmol/l, while associated with a rise in urinary bicarbonate concentration and excretion during the early stages of perfusion, produced a sharp decline in bicarbonate concentration and excretion in the latter part of perfusion. The different peptides produced no significant differences in glomerular filtration rate, fractional excretion of sodium or urine volume. The absence of substantial differences between the effects of hPTH(1–34) and PTHrP(1–34) are as noted in previous studies. The differences between PTHrP(1–108)/PTHrP(1–141) and PTHrP(1–34) demonstrated here are consistent with (1) the clinical manifestations of acidosis in hyperparathyroidism and alkalosis in humoral hypercalcaemia of malignancy, and (2) an independent action of a component of PTHrP beyond amino acids 1–34.

Rat Kidneys

Isolated perfused rat kidneys removed considerable quantities of glycyltyrosine, glycylhydroxyproline, tetraglycine and prolylhydroxyproline from the perfusate. The component amino acids are released into the perfusate and, in the case of the glycine-containing peptides, there is increased synthesis of serine. Removal of peptides was more than could be accounted for on the basis of filtration, so antiluminal metabolism is indicated. Metabolism of such peptides by the kidney may contribute to renal serine synthesis in vivo.
