title: Indomethacin attenuates the renal actions of atrial natriuretic factor in dogs with chronic heart failure.
abstract: The interaction between renal prostaglandins and atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) for the regulation of renal hemodynamic and excretory function was examined in conscious dogs with arteriovenous fistula and chronic compensated high-output heart failure (n = 6). After two control clearance periods, 100 ng/kg/min ANF was administered for the duration of the study. After two clearance periods with ANF infusions, 10 mg/kg indomethacin intravenous bolus was given, and three additional clearance periods were obtained. Atrial natriuretic factor alone increased sodium excretion from a baseline of 25 +/- 7 microEq/min to 158 +/- 24 microEq/min (P < 0.05), whereas creatinine clearance was elevated by 9 mL/min (P < 0.05). Indomethacin reduced ANF-induced sodium excretion and creatinine clearance by 75% (P < 0.05) and 35% (P < 0.05), respectively. In a time control series in dogs with arteriovenous fistula (n = 4), indomethacin vehicle did not alter ANF-induced natriuresis or renal hemodynamic function. These results suggest a modulatory role of the prostaglandins on the renal response to ANF infusions in this canine model of compensated heart failure.
