[Renal function in experimental potassium depletion. II. Indomethacin and effects of lysine-8-vasopressin in hypotonic polyuria].

Abstract

Renal function has been studied by the clearance (cl.) method during hypotonic polyuria--four 15-min cl. periods--and successive antidiuresis--two 60-min cl. periods (A1, A2)--induced by lysine-8-vasopressin (LVP), 5 mU in bolus followed by infusion at a rate of 0.04 mU/min. The endogenous creatinine cl. (Cc) and the osmotic cls. (Cosm, CH2O) were determined by the usual methods as well as the absolute and fractional urinary excretions of water, sodium, chloride and potassium. The urinary concentrations of PGE2, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and TxB2 were determined by the RIA method. This study protocol has been applied to 20 healthy women submitted to paired functional explorations in both the absence and presence of indomethacin (100 mg i.m.); the drug effects have been evaluated in both normal potassium balance (N2, n = 6) and in two groups of potassium depletion (KD) with potassium cumulative deficit of 160 +/- 43 (D2, n = 8) and 198 +/- 22 meq (D3, n = 6), respectively. As regards the early % effects of LVP, i.e. (A1-P)% of P (mean polyuria), the inhibition of prostanoid synthesis with indomethacin produced significant changes: 1) an enhanced reduction in renal chloride excretion in all experimental groups; 2) a reduction in renal sodium and chloride fractional excretions in both KD groups; 3) an enhanced antidiuretic effect in D3 only, i.e. in the experimental condition with inhibition of prostanoid renal synthesis present during the control study.
