  • Title: Renal response to secretin.
    Author: Viteri AL, Poppell JW, Lasater JM, Dyck WP.
    Journal: J Appl Physiol; 1975 Apr; 38(4):661-4. PubMed ID: 237865.
    Abstract:
    The effect of Jorpes secretin on the urinary volume, pH, and excretion of sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, titratable acidity, ammonia and phosphate was studied in five healthy male volunteers with and without simultaneous aspiration of duodenal fluids. A three- to fourfold increase in urinary volume and sodium excretion occurred within the first 30 min after secretin injection and this was accompanied by a significant rise in urinary pH in each instance. Urinary bicarbonate excretion increased from 55 plus or minus 13 to 395 plus or minus 33 mueq/30 min after secretin injection. Aspiration of alkaline duodenal contents was accompanied by an even greater postsecretin increase in urinary bicarbonate excretion. No significant changes in arterial pH or blood gases were detected throughout the study. These observations are compatible with a direct effect of secretin upon the renal tubular reabsorption of water, bicarbonate, and other ions, and could account for the transient alterations in urinary pH occurring in response to a meal.
