title: Renal concentration defect induced by cisplatin. The role of thick ascending limb and papillary collecting duct.
abstract: The effects of cisplatin (5 mg/kg BW given intraperitoneally) on renal concentration mechanism were evaluated initially by clearance studies in rats 5-7 days after cisplatin administration and compared to normal rats. During hypotonic saline infusion, cisplatin rats showed a lower inulin clearance (0.56 +/- 0.07 vs. 1.12 +/- 0.09 ml/min/100 g BW, p less than 0.01), a higher fractional distal delivery (CNa + CH2O/Cin) (36.3 +/- 4.4 vs. 22.8 +/- 4.5%, p less than 0.05), and lower CH2O/CNa + CH2O (33.6 +/- 5.8 vs. 56.5 +/- 5.0%, p less than 0.01). During hypertonic saline infusion the TcH2O/Cosm was lower in cisplatin (18.3 +/- 1.1%) than in normal rats (33.4 +/- 3.5%, p less than 0.01). These results suggest a defect in NaCl transport in the thick ascending limb of Henle and proximal tubule. In order to characterize these tubular defects, we measured Na-K-ATPase activity (microM Pi/mg protein/h). In the renal cortex of cisplatin rats the ATPase activity was lower (18.1 +/- 3.2) than in normal rats (33.4 +/- 6.4, p less than 0.05), also in the inner strip of the outer medulla of cisplatin rats Na-K-ATPase was reduced (26.0 +/- 5.7) when compared with normal rats (67.3 +/- 9.2, p less than 0.01), presumably representing a decrease in enzyme activity in the thick ascending limb.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
