title: Acute effects of parathyroid hormone on proximal bicarbonate transport in the dog.
abstract: Re-collection micropuncture and simultaneous clearance studies were performed in thyroparathyroidectomized (TPTX) dogs to evaluate the effects of the acute administration of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on bicarbonate reabsorption. The i.v. administration of PTH from 74 to 94 U/hr reduced proximal fractional reabsorption (FRHCO3) from 0.28 +/- 0.03 to 0.14 +/- 0.03 (P less than 0.005) and absolute bicarbonate reabsorption (THCO3) from 556 +/- 126 to 255 +/- 73 pmoles/min (P less than 0.05), whereas there were no changes in PCO2 (37.0 +/- 1.4 leads to 37.2 +/- 1.4 mm Hg, P greater than 0.90), plasma bicarbonate (PHCO3) (18.5 +/- 0.4 leads to 18.3 +/- 0.4, P less than 0.60), single nephron glomerular filtration rate (102.2 +/- 15;9 leads to 90.1 +/- 10.3 nl/min, P greater than 0.40), serum ultrafilterable phosphate concentration (SUFp) (1.71 +/- 0.13 leads to 1.83 +/- 0.12 mmoles/liter, P greater than 0.25), or serum ultrafilterable calcium (SUFCa) (1.85 +/- 0.05 leads to 1.88 +/- 0.05 mEq/liter, P greater than 0.60). PTH also reduced proximal fractional fluid (and sodium) reabsorption (0.40 +/- 0.04 leads to 0.28 +/- 0.08, P less than 0.05) while TFHCO3 did not change (20.5 +/- 0.4 leads to 20.8 +/- 0.4 mmoles/liter) indicating a rejection of bicarbonate proportional to the inhibition in tubular fluid transport. The invariable reduction in proximal bicarbonate reabsorption did not uniformly result in an increased urinary bicarbonate concentration.
