Early postischaemic renal fibrin deposition and reduction of glomerular filtration rate in the rat: effect of the defibrinating agent Arwin.
The correlation between the extent of intrarenal fibrin deposition induced by 15, 20 and 30-min bilateral occlusion of the renal arteries and the reduction of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has been studied. The tissue level of fibrin was estimated by 125I-labelled human fibrinogen. There was a significant negative correlation between cortical and medullary fibrin content and GFR. In rats pretreatment with the defibrinating agent Arwin failed to prevent postischaemic coagulation in the kidney and the reduction of GFR.
