title: Involvement of the renal kallikrein-kinin system in K(+)-induced diuresis and natriuresis in anesthetized rats.
abstract: Intravenous infusion of a high-K(+) solution (67.5 mM KCl, 67.5 mM NaCl) to anesthetized rats increased urine volume by 47.6% after 60 min, compared with infusion of a Na(+) solution (135 mM NaCl). This treatment also increased urinary excretion of Na(+) by 32.2%, in parallel with an increase in excretion of K(+) or Cl(-). Urinary excretion of kallikrein increased within 60 min after the start of K(+) infusion. A bradykinin B(2) receptor antagonist, 8-[3-[N-[(E)-3-(6-acetamidopyridin-3-yl)acryloylglycyl]-N-me thylamino ]-2,6-dichlorobenzyloxy]-2-methylquinoline (FR173657; 1.0 mg/kg, i.v. ), inhibited the K(+)-induced diuresis and natriuresis by 41.0% and 26.7%, respectively. These results indicate that K(+) load induces diuresis and natriuresis through the renal kallikrein-kinin system in rats.
