title: Stimulation of kidney function in rats injured by nephrotoxic agents.
abstract: After single administration of potassium dichromate or glycerol, renal PAH excretion was markedly reduced in adult, but not in newborn and infant rats. As already demonstrated in rats with intact kidney functions, repeated administration of PAH or cyclopenthiazide stimulates also renal PAH excretion in rats with acute renal failure. In detail, after PAH or cyclopenthiazide treatment of rats the duration of injury is shortened whereas the intensity of the nephrotoxic effects is not changed. However, the stimulation depends on the age of animals as well as on the nephrotoxic agent administered.
