Reduction in severity of acute renal failure (ARF) in rats by dopamine.
Dopamine was administered to rats at the time of initiation of anoxic acute renal failure. Dopamine partially reduced the severity of ARF as evidenced by a reduction in blood urea, serum creatinine as well as an increase in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). (UNaV) in dopamine treated ARF was similar to sham operated animals and both were significantly lower than control ARF.
