title: Influence of prostaglandin A1 on renal filtration, hemodynamics and excretion. Investigations in chronically instrumented conscious dogs on a low- and high-sodium diet.
abstract: The effect on renal function of a 210-min infusion of PGA1 into the aorta of 10 conscious beagle dogs has been investigated. In the sodium-replete group, PGA1 caused an increase in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (24%), renal blood flow (17%) and sodium excretion (20%). By contrast, in the sodium-depleted group, PGA1 caused a considerable reduction of GFR (25%) and sodium excretion (51%). In this group, baseline renal blood flow was lower, and there was no further reduction during PGA1 infusion. Fractional sodium excretion was unchanged in the sodium-replete dogs, but was reduced in the sodium-deplete state. Plasma renin activity was markedly elevated and further increased in the sodium-deplete group, but it was nearly unchanged in the sodium-replete group. This difference in renal response to exogenous PGA1 might be due to interaction with the renin-angiotensin system, which was markedly stimulated by sodium depletion and additionally by prostaglandin infusion.
