title: [Further research on the role of prostanoids in controlling renal function in humans in normal potassium balance and acute experimental potassium depletion. I: Studies of normal potassium balance. Effects of indomethacin].
abstract: The renal function was studied by clearance (cl.) method during hypotonic polyuria (oral water load followed by 5% dextrose solution infusion) and successive relative antidiuresis induced by lysine-8-vasopressin (LVP) administration (5 microU in bolo followed by continuous infusion at a rate of 0.04 microU/min). Four 15 min and two 60 min clearance (cl.) periods were performed during hypotonic polyuria and antidiuresis, respectively. Glomerular filtration rate was estimated by creatinine cl.; the osmotic cl. (Cosm, CH2O), the absolute and fractional excretions of water, sodium, potassium and chloride were determined by usual methods. The urinary PGE2, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and TxB2 concentrations were determined by RIA method. Fourteen healthy women submitted to a normal sodium and potassium daily intake were studied; in 6 of them paired studies in absence and in presence of indomethacin (100 mg, i.m.), respectively, were performed. LVP induced a significant reduction of creatinine cl., urinary flow rate and of prostanoid excretion. In hypotonic polyuria, indomethacin significantly reduced the creatinine cl. and the diuretic response to the water load; moreover the urinary PGE2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha excretions were significantly lower (85.6 +/- 1.9% and 37.7 +/- 3.2%) while the reduction of urinary TxB2 excretion was not significant (34.4 +/- 13%). Indomethacin did not affect significantly the LVP renal effects in normal potassium balance.
